[00:08] Kokona
    A World Dai Star?
[00:10] Shizuka
    I know you'll be one someday, Kokona.
[00:12] Kokona
    No way.
[00:14] Kokona
    Even at the audition the other day...
[00:16] Sign
    Regarding Your Audition
    
    Hello, Kokona Otori-sama.
    Thank you very much for auditioning with us.
    After careful deliberation, we regret to inform you that
    you have not passed our audition.
[00:17] Kokona
    they told me I lacked Sense.
[00:19] Shizuka
    Well, I disagree.
[00:24] Shizuka
    You don't believe them either,
     do you, Kokona?
[00:27] Kokona
    Well...
[00:32] Shizuka
    Do you know what kind of people
    become World Dai Stars?
[00:36] Kokona
    Huh? Um...
[00:38] Kokona
    People who are really good at acting...
    and singing and dancing...
[00:43] Kokona
    People so dazzling that you just
    can't take your eyes off of them?
[00:47] Shizuka
    That's not it at all!
[00:53] Shizuka
    They're people who believe
     in their future selves.
[01:03] Shizuka
    You can hear them, can't you?
    The voices calling your name.
[01:23] Kokona
    I wonder if I'll ever make it...
[01:25] Kokona
    Can I really become a World Dai Star?
[01:32] Shizuka
    You will, Kokona.
[01:35] Shizuka
    I'll make it happen.
[01:43] Narrator
    In the twentieth century,
[01:45] Narrator
    the passionate performances of actors
    who appeared like shooting stars
[01:49] Narrator
    ushered the world into

[01:54] Narrator
    It became the ultimate entertainment
    for the masses around the globe,
[01:59] Narrator
    and many an actor competed
    for the spotlight.
[02:08] Narrator
    Performers with the Sense to outshine others
    became known as "Dai Stars."
[02:14] Narrator
    And the pinnacle of Dai Stars
    was given the title...
[02:19] Narrator
    World Dai Star.

    What are you so nervous about?
[02:42] Kokona
    I mean, who wouldn't be?
[02:44] Kokona
    I've always wanted to join SIRIUS,
[02:47] Kokona
    and I've already gotten
     two tryout rejections.
[02:50] Shizuka
    There you go getting down on yourself.
[02:52] Shizuka
    You've rehearsed loads for this,
[02:55] Shizuka
    so you need to go in full of confidence!
[02:58] Kokona
    Hup...
[03:00] Kokona
    Yeah, you're right.
[03:01] Kokona
    I finally got to a callback,
    so I've gotta do my best.
[03:11] Kokona
    There we go.
[03:12] Kokona's Mother
    Kokona.
[03:15] Kokona
    Oh, sorry. Did I wake you?
[03:18] Kokona's Mother
    Here's your lunch.
[03:20] Kokona's Mother
    You can't project properly
     on an empty stomach.
[03:23] Kokona's Father
    Leave no room for regrets.
[03:27] Kokona
    Right!
[03:28] Kokona
    Off I go!
[03:34] Kokona (Romeo)
    Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear;
[03:36] Kokona (Romeo)
    Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear!
[03:40] Kokona (Romeo)
    Did my heart love till now?
    Forswear it, sight!
[03:46] Kokona (Romeo)
    For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
[03:51] Kokona (Romeo)
    Forsooth... this is true love!
[03:55] Shizuka
    You're overacting.
[03:57] Kokona
    Huh? You think so?
[03:59] Shizuka
    You sound more like a fool than a lover.
[04:02] Shizuka
    Romeo's actually quite the playboy,
[04:05] Shizuka
    yet in this moment, he feels his destiny.
[04:08] Shizuka
    He'd probably sound way more exhilarated.
[04:11] Kokona
    Destiny? Exhilarated?
[04:17] Kokona
    This is...
[04:18] Kokona
    True! Love!
[04:20] Shizuka
    Congrats. Now you're a bigger fool.
[04:22] Kokona
    That's so mean!
[04:25] Kokona
    I just don't get it.
    I've never been in love before.
[04:29] Shizuka
    You've never been a murderer
     or a detective either, have you?
[04:33] Shizuka
    But even so, an actor must
     play those roles convincingly.
[04:36] Kokona
    Then how would you do the scene, Shizuka-chan?
[04:39] Shizuka
    Huh? Me?
[04:54] Shizuka
    Did my heart love till now?
    Forswear it, sight!
[05:00] Shizuka
    For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
[05:04] Shizuka
    Forsooth...
[05:07] Shizuka
    This is true love!
[05:26] Kokona
    Whoa! That was amazing, Shizuka-chan!
[05:29] Shizuka
    You're supposed to be doing it.
[05:31] Kokona
    If only you could
    audition too, Shizuka-chan...

[07:02] Kathrina

[07:03] Kokona
    You're going to Asakusa,

SIGN    Did you make it to Japan safely?

[08:57] Kokona
    Sirius...
[08:59] Kokona
    Wait, are you auditioning?!
[09:01] Kathrina
    Don't tell me...
[09:04] Kokona
    The Sirius Theatre!
[09:06] Kokona
    Home of the female acting troupe SIRIUS,
[09:08] Kokona
    founded by Japan's renowned
    World Dai Star, Shamo Yamabuki!
[09:13] Shizuka
    You said you saw your first play here, right?
[09:16] Kokona
    Yeah!
[09:17] Kokona
    The SIRIUS troupe mainly does musicals.
[09:20] Kokona
    They're so elegant and wonderful!
    I've seen them so many times!
[09:24] Kokona
    This is where I first realized
     I wanted to be an actor!
[09:29] Kathrina
    So you're auditioning, too?
[09:31] Kokona
    Yeah!
[09:33] Kokona
    Talk about a coincidence!
[09:35] Kokona
    It's nice to formally meet you.
     I'm Kokona Otori.
[09:38] Kokona
    Let's do our best so we can stand on
    that stage together, Kathrina-chan!
[09:43] Kathrina
    I'm not going to shake your hand.
    I'm fairly certain I won't see you again.

    you have no Sense whatsoever.

    "I'm not going to shake your hand.
    I'm fairly certain I won't see you again."
[10:21] Shizuka
    Honestly, how nasty.
[10:23] Kokona
    That was great, Shizuka-chan!
    You're so good.
[10:26] Shizuka
    You're the one she mocked.

[10:43] Kokona
    That's Hiiragi-san! The former Dai Star!
[10:46] Hiiragi
    We are currently looking for talent
     to become SIRIUS Dai Stars.
[10:51] Hiiragi
    Talent we can nurture into a World Dai Star
     to take the globe by storm.
[10:58] Hiiragi
    I'm looking forward to seeing
     your acting Sense.
[11:06] Hiiragi
    We will now begin auditions,
     so please gather at the venue.
[11:14] Shizuka
    You've been practicing even
    more since you met me.

[12:21] Kudo

[12:31] Shizuka
    It's finally time to see everyone's acting.
[12:34] Shizuka
    They said you'd find out the role the day of.
[12:37] Hiiragi
    We'll now proceed with the readings.
[12:41] Hiiragi
    We'll also be handing out your scripts.
[12:45] Kokona
    Thank you very much.

    The Little Mermaid
[12:47] Shizuka
    SIRIUS's The Little Mermaid!
[12:49] Shizuka
    You've totally practiced this one before!
[12:51] Kokona
    Y-Yeah...
[12:54] Hiiragi
    Act 2.
[12:56] Hiiragi
    The Little Mermaid swims to
    the Sea Witch's lair
[12:59] Hiiragi
    and asks to be made into a human.
[13:02] Hiiragi
    The Sea Witch promises to do so
[13:05] Hiiragi
    in exchange for her beautiful voice.
[13:08] Kathrina
    Who's the Sea Witch?
[13:10] Hiiragi
    I'll be reading the part.
[13:13] Kokona
    Hiiragi-san's doing it?
[13:15] Hiiragi
    You can keep your scripts with you.
    Come up onto the stage.
[13:19] Hiiragi
    Let's start with number 1.
[13:21] Auditionee C
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[13:25] Panda
    Reading with Hiiragi-san, eh?
[13:27] Sasuga
    I wonder if the boss plans to fail them all.
[13:30] Auditionee C
    I'm ready.
[13:32] Hiiragi
    All right.
[13:34] Hiiragi
    Let's get started, then.
[13:42] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    Once you become human,
    you can never be a mermaid again.
[13:48] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    And should the prince marry another girl,
[13:53] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    your heart will be ripped apart.
[13:56] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    Without even a moment to repent,
[13:59] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    you'll disappear into sea-foam.
[14:07] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    Do you still want to be human?
[14:12] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    I'm asking you if you're prepared for that!
[14:19] Hiiragi
    Next.
[14:20] Auditionee D
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[14:25] Auditionee D
    I'm prepared... S-Sea Witch...
[14:28] Hiiragi
    Next.
[14:29] Auditionee E
    I'm prepared! Sea Witch,
     what do you require of me?
[14:34] Hiiragi
    Next...
[14:35] Auditionee F
    Yes, ma'am!
[14:36] Shizuka
    If they can't keep up with Hiiragi-san,
[14:38] Shizuka
    they can't express the
    Little Mermaid's true strength.
[14:41] Shizuka
    But if they push too much,
    they come off too strong.
[14:46] Kokona
    This is what a Dai Star's acting looks like...
[14:51] Hiiragi
    Next, number 16. Kathrina Griebel.
[15:32] Kathrina
    No set. Not even a backdrop.
[15:36] Kathrina
    Only a small spotlight
    shining on center stage.
[15:40] Kathrina
    She's hiding in the shadows to capture
    the Sea Witch's unpredictability.
[15:45] Kathrina
    No wonder the girls can't hold their own.
[15:48] Kathrina
    But they're all third-rate.
[15:55] Kathrina
    I'm ready whenever.
[16:09] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    Once you become human,
    you can never be a mermaid again.
[16:15] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    And should the prince marry another girl,
[16:21] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    your heart will be ripped apart.
[16:24] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    Without even a moment to repent,
[16:27] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    you'll disappear into sea-foam.
[16:30] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    Do you still want to be human?
[16:34] Kathrina (Little Mermaid)
    I do...
[16:36] Hiiragi (Sea Witch)
    Are you truly certain?
[16:44] Sasuga
    Did she forget her lines?
[16:47] Panda
    No, she's still in character.
[16:58] Kathrina (Little Mermaid)
    I'm prepared! Sea Witch,
     what do you require of me?
[17:07] Panda
    That pause was impeccable.
[17:09] Panda
    She used the spotlight to her advantage,
    transforming from the Little Mermaid
[17:14] Panda
    to a woman in love with the prince.
[17:17] Sasuga
    I think we found our promising new talent.
[17:20] Hiiragi
    Thank you. You can head back.
[17:24] Hiiragi
    Next up is our last candidate,
[17:25] Hiiragi
    Kokona Otori.
[17:28] Kokona
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[17:30] Shizuka
    You've got this, Kokona. You'll be fine.
[17:31] Kokona
    What do I do?
    Maybe I can't do this... Because I...
[17:33] Shizuka
    You're going to be a Dai Star, aren't you?
[17:35] Shizuka
    Kokona? Are you listening?
[17:36] Kokona
    don't have it...
[17:39] Judge A
    You have no Sense.
[17:40] Judge B
    You're not bad, but...
[17:42] Judge C
    In this day in age, you have to have Sense.
[17:46] Hiiragi
    What's the matter?
[17:49] Hiiragi
    Can't play the part?
[17:52] Kokona
    I—
[17:53] Niizuma
    You mustn't look so scary, Hiiragi-san.
[17:56] Niizuma
    Everyone will tense up.
[17:59] Hiiragi
    Yae? What are you doing here?

     Yae Niizuma
[18:01] Niizuma
    I came to rehearse
    for our next performance,
[18:04] Niizuma
    but I can't find Panda-san or the others,
[18:06] Niizuma
    so I'm looking for them.
[18:10] Auditionees
    It's Yae-chan!
[18:11] Auditionees
    She's so cute!
[18:13] Niizuma
    Miss, would you mind if I
    did this scene with you?
[18:17] Kokona
    Huh? Um...
[18:19] Hiiragi
    What do you think you're doing?
[18:20] Niizuma
    It's only natural to help those in need.
[18:25] Niizuma
    That's what will lead to world peace.
[18:35] Hiiragi
    All right.
[18:38] Hiiragi
    However...
[18:39] Hiiragi
    If Yae's involved, we'll
    need to make some changes.
[18:42] Hiiragi
    You'll be playing the Little Mermaid, Yae.
[18:44] Niizuma
    Okay.
[18:45] Kokona
    Huh?!
[18:46] Hiiragi
    Act 3.
[18:48] Hiiragi
    The prince tells the Little Mermaid
     he's to be engaged in a few days.
[18:52] Hiiragi
    He's marrying a princess from a neighboring
    kingdom who saved him from drowning.
[18:58] Hiiragi
    The Little Mermaid longs to tell him
    it was really her, but she has no voice.
[19:02] Hiiragi
    She tries desperately to convey her
    feelings, yet can't get through.
[19:07] Hiiragi
    You'll be playing the prince.

    This is the crucial emotional moment
     leading up to the climax.
[19:16] Panda
    One wrong step,
[19:17] Panda
    and the audience's hate for the
     moronic prince will ruin the scene.
[19:20] Panda
    Hiiragi-san's being cruel.
[19:23] Sasuga
    That's what I love about the boss, though.
[19:27] Niizuma
    What kind of performer
     do you want to be, miss?
[19:32] Niizuma
    If you focus too much on being "good,"
[19:34] Niizuma
    you'll get so stiff you won't be able to speak.
[19:37] Niizuma
    What's important is what
     you want to be onstage.
[19:41] Kokona
    What I want to be?
[19:44] Niizuma (Little Mermaid)
    The world you've shown me
    is just so beautiful.
[19:50] Niizuma (Little Mermaid)
    If only I could tell you how I really feel...
[19:50] Kokona
    What I've wanted to be...

    They're people who believe
     in their future selves.
[20:04] Kokona (Prince)
    What is it? What are you trying to say?
[20:08] Kokona (Prince)
    I know! You must be happy for me, too!
[20:12] Kokona (Prince)
    I'm just the luckiest man alive!
[20:15] Kokona (Prince)
    To think that the princess
    who saved me that stormy night
[20:19] Kokona (Prince)
    is going to marry me!
[20:22] Kathrina
    She wasn't like that at the station.
[20:24] Niizuma (Little Mermaid)
    No... I'm the one who saved you!
[20:28] Kokona (Prince)
    What?
[20:29] Niizuma (Little Mermaid)
    I'm the one who saved you!
[20:31] Kokona (Prince)
    What are you trying to tell me?
[20:35] Kokona (Prince)
    Did something painful happen?
[20:40] Kokona (Prince)
    Are you sad?
[20:47] Kokona (Prince)
    It's okay.
[20:49] Kokona (Prince)
    I'm here with you.
[20:51] Kokona (Prince)
    I'll always be on your side.
[20:56] Shizuka
    I told you so.
    I knew you could do it, Kokona.
[21:09] Kokona
    Thanks so much for earlier!
[21:12] Niizuma
    Were you waiting around
    just to tell me that?
[21:14] Kokona
    Yeah! If it weren't for you,
    I would've been sent packing.
[21:19] Kokona
    Oh, um...
[21:20] Niizuma
    I'm Yae. Yae Niizuma.
[21:23] Kokona
    Yae-chan...
[21:26] Kokona
    Even if I don't pass this round,
    I'm going to audition for SIRIUS again!
[21:30] Kokona
    And then, one day we can...
[21:31] Shizuka
    Hey, Kokona! Why are you talking
    like you're going to fail?!
[21:34] Kokona
    Hey! This part's really
    important, so butt out!
[21:38] Niizuma
    You're a strange one.
[21:50] Hiiragi
    Kokona Otori played the prince
    from
The Little Mermaid*.*
[21:54] Hiiragi
    But...
[21:55] Kokona
    Just thinking about what I'd have
     done if Yae-chan hadn't shown up...
[21:56] Hiiragi
    That wasn't her take on the prince.

    Who exactly were you playing?

[04:20] Kokona
    Really?
[04:22] Shamo
    I found it quite mysterious.
[04:26] Kokona
    I, uh, ended up panicking.

    I'd like to officially welcome you to SIRIUS.
[05:16] Kathrina
    I request my own room.
[05:19] Kathrina
    I can't sleep unless I'm alone.
[05:21] Kathrina
    It's part of a troupe's job to ensure
    its talent is taken care of, no?
[05:25] Hiiragi
    On the stage, you may end up playing
    family members or lovers.
[05:28] Hiiragi
    It's probably not a bad idea
    to get to know one another.
[05:32] Kathrina
    We may also end up playing mortal enemies.
[05:35] Hiiragi
    And hopefully you'll be able to find
    something to inspire that, too.
[05:41] Kokona
    Um, Kathrina-chan?
[05:43] Kokona
    I'm totally okay with this.
[05:46] Kokona
    I promise I don't toss and turn much.
[05:48] Kokona
    Oh, I don't snore either.
[05:50] Shizuka
    You do talk in your sleep, though.
[05:51] Kokona
    I m-might talk in my sleep a bit, though!
SIGN    Just be quiet.
[05:55] Kokona
    What did you just say?!
[05:58] Kathrina
    All right, fine. I came all
    this way to become a Dai Star.
[06:03] Kathrina
    I suppose I can deal with this.
[06:06] Kokona
    A Dai Star?
[06:08] Kathrina
    So, when's our next show?
    What role will I be playing?
[06:13] Hiiragi
    You hope to take the stage so soon?
[06:15] Kathrina
    O-Of course I do.
[06:18] Kathrina
    What role will I be playing?
[06:20] Hiiragi
    At SIRIUS,

[06:36] Shizuka
    The lead role?
[06:37] Kokona
    I get to play the lead role?!
[06:40] Kathrina
    Did you miss the "audition" part?
[06:42] Kathrina
    I'll be taking the lead role.
[06:44] Hiiragi
    Whoever fails to get the role
[06:46] Hiiragi
    will be playing the lady-in-waiting
    who serves Princess Kaguya.
[06:51] Hiiragi
    We'll hold the audition in a week,
    the day before dress rehearsals.
[06:59] Hiiragi
    Don't disappoint me.
[07:05] Kokona
    My first script!
[07:08] Shizuka
    I wonder if Yae-chan's playing
    Princess Kaguya in the real deal.
[07:11] Kokona
    Yae-chan as Princess Kaguya...
[07:14] Shizuka
    So good...
[07:16] Kokona
    She could ask me to do anything!
    Even the impossible!
[07:18] Kathrina
    Hey, could you quit talking to yourself?
[07:21] Kokona
    O-Oh, I'm sorry!
[07:23] Kokona
    Um...
[07:26] Kokona
    Won't this make it harder to chat?
[07:28] Shizuka
    And what's up with all the luggage?
[07:30] Shizuka
    It's really cramped over here.
[07:32] Kokona
    Hey, you want to be a Dai Star too,
    right, Kathrina-chan?
[07:36] Kokona
    Is your goal to be a World Dai Star?!
[07:39] Kathrina
    That's, like, every actor's goal.
[07:42] Kathrina
    I'll give you some great life advice.
[07:44] Kokona
    What?
[07:45] Kathrina
    You can't see the forest for the trees.
[07:47] Kathrina
    A wannabe actor like you talking about
[07:49] Kathrina
    being a Dai Star,
    let alone a World Dai Star...
[07:52] Kathrina
    Wouldn't you consider that
    rather presumptuous?
[07:57] Kathrina
    Dai Stars can fill theaters all by themselves.
[08:01] Kathrina
    You can't become one simply
    because you want to.
[08:03] Kathrina
    Only the chosen few make it.
[08:06] Kathrina
    And you're not one of them.
[08:08] Kathrina
    You and I are competing for roles.
    We're not friends.
[08:12] Kathrina
    Don't bother me more than necessary.

[08:41] Panda
    Hey, can I call you Koko-chan?
[08:44] Kokona
    Huh? U-Uh, sure...
[08:48] Panda
    Sweet!
[08:50] Panda
    Using "-san" is just so stiff.
[08:54] Panda
    Also, no need to be formal with us at all.
[08:56] Panda
    We're younger than you anyway.
[08:58] Panda
    Right, Sassu?
[08:59] Sasuga
    The only things that should be stiff
    are concrete and nata de coco.
[09:03] Kokona
    Huh? Nata de coco?
    Wait, is it even that stiff?
[09:07] Sasuga
    Now I want some nata de coco...
[09:11] Panda
    You don't need to take the
     things Sassu says too seriously.
[09:14] Panda

[09:26] Kokona
    I think she just dislikes
    me for some reason.
[09:30] Kokona
    I'd like to be her friend,
    but I guess she feels differently.

[09:56] Kokona
    I see.
[09:58] Kokona
    Okay!
[10:00] Kokona

[13:03] Kokona
    Yae-chan's so cute!
[13:04] Sasuga (Old Man)
    Princess, wait!
[13:07] Shizuka
    This is the story of the ill-fated
    Princess Kaguya, who was born of bamboo.
[13:11] Shizuka
    It's Japan's oldest sci-fi story.
[13:14] Shizuka
    In the play, Kaguya and her attendant Misao
    grow up like sisters
[13:19] Shizuka
    and dread the day they
    will eventually have to part.
[13:23] Shizuka
    That's SIRIUS's take on
    The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.

[13:27] Kokona
    Next up is the audition scene.
[13:30] Shizuka
    Yeah.
[13:34] Niizuma (Kaguya)
    Hey, have you ever seen
    a bamboo blossom, Misao?
[13:38] Panda (Misao)
    A bamboo blossom?
[13:40] Niizuma (Kaguya)
    The books say they bloom
    only once every 120 years.
[13:46] Panda (Misao)
    Once every 120 years?
[13:52] Niizuma (Kaguya)
    I hope we can see one together someday.
[14:15] Kokona
    How pretty...
[14:25] Kokona
    Her singing voice sounds so sweet,
    but I feel sad for some reason.
[14:31] Shizuka
    This is a far more mature performance
    than the innocent act she had at the start.
[14:36] Shizuka
    The song conveys her emotional turmoil
    and sorrow over the impending goodbye.
[14:40] Shizuka
    Just listening to it makes
    us feel her pain as well.
[14:49] Kokona
    Yae-chan really is amazing.
[14:57] Kokona
    I wonder if I can perform like that, too...

[15:05] Panda
    Man, starting off with The Bamboo Cutter?
    Hiiragi-san's a demon.
[15:10] Sasuga
    It's interesting, though.
[15:12] Sasuga
    If it were any normal play,
    it easily would've been Kathrina.
[15:16] Panda
    Well, Japanese culture is pretty unique.
[15:19] Panda
    For Kathrin, even the act of holding a tea cup
[15:22] Panda
    may come off as mannered and
     make the performance unnatural.
[15:26] Sasuga
    She can fool us with her line reads,
    but not with her mannerisms.
[15:30] Sasuga
    Having to become thoroughly
    Japanese inside of a week...
[15:34] Sasuga
    Pretty tragic.
[15:37] Panda
    Meanwhile, Koko-chan honestly lacks skill.
[15:41] Panda
    I wonder if what we saw
    at her audition was a fluke.
[15:45] Panda
    Personally, I'm wondering why Hiiragi-san
    overruled all objections and passed her.
[15:51] Panda
    It's a little mystery.
[15:53] Sasuga
    The key to victory is what lies within them...
[15:58] Sasuga
    Their Sense.
[16:00] Panda
    By the way, Sassu.
[16:03] Panda
    There isn't a whole box
    for each of us, y'know?

[16:06] Sasuga
    Really?
[16:11] Kokona
    How was my performance?
[16:13] Shizuka
    Well, it was all right.
[16:16] Shizuka
    But if you're asking if it's enough
    to beat Kathrina... I'm not sure.
[16:22] Kokona
    Yeah... This is hard.
[16:25] Kokona
    I wonder what Kaguya's thinking.
[16:28] Kokona
    Oh, but the lady-in-waiting
    role is pretty nice, too!
[16:32] Shizuka
    Are you joking?
[16:33] Shizuka
    You need to go for the lead role
    if you want to be a Dai Star.
[16:37] Kokona
    Right...
[16:39] Shizuka
    You were totally different
    at the SIRIUS audition.
[16:43] Shizuka
    Your whole demeanor, enthusiasm...
    I can't put it into words.
[16:48] Shizuka
    If you can do that again,
    you might be able to pull it off.
[16:52] Kokona
    You mean act like I did?
[16:56] Shizuka
    Tell me, Kokona.
    How did you embody the prince then?
[17:01] Kokona
    Back then...
[17:03] Kokona
    Yae-chan asked me what kind
    of performer I wanted to be,
[17:07] Kokona
    so I tried to imagine how
    you'd play the role, Shizuka-chan.
[17:11] Shizuka
    Me?
[17:13] Shizuka
    Huh... So you want to be like me?
[17:18] Shizuka
    In that case, why don't you try
    doing the same thing again?
[17:22] Kokona
    Huh?
[17:23] Shizuka
    We'll plan out how to play the part,
    and you'll see it through.
[17:26] Shizuka
    The both of us will play the role!
[17:28] Kokona
    The both of us?
[17:29] Shizuka
    How about it?
[17:34] Kokona
    How would you perform
    this scene, Shizuka-chan?
[17:37] Shizuka
    I would...
[17:57] Hiiragi
    Are you ready?
[17:58] Kokona
    Yes!
[17:58] Kathrina
    Yes.
[17:59] Panda
    Ooh, so fresh and new!
[18:02] Sasuga
    Kokona came to watch every rehearsal,
    but Kathrina didn't come to a single one.
[18:07] Panda
    We barely even saw her at the dorm.
[18:10] Panda
    I wonder how she's going to play it.
[18:13] Hiiragi
    We'll start with Kathrina.
[18:15] Hiiragi
    Panda, run the scene with her.
[18:18] Panda
    Roger!
[18:20] Panda
    Let's see what she's got.
[18:25] Kathrina
    When Japanese people point to themselves,
    they point at their noses.
[18:29] Kathrina
    We put our hands to our hearts.
[18:32] Kathrina
    Even the most trivial differences can
    make a performance seem unnatural.
[18:37] Kathrina
    I'm sure they think that,
    because I haven't been in Japan long,
[18:40] Kathrina
    I'm incapable of expressing
    Kaguya's inner life.
[18:44] Kathrina
    They can think whatever they want.
[18:46] Hiiragi
    All right, begin.
[18:53] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    Hey, have you ever seen
    a bamboo blossom, Misao?
[18:58] Panda (Misao)
    A bamboo blossom?
[19:01] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    The books say they bloom
    only once every 120 years.
[19:07] Panda (Misao)
    Once every 120 years?
[19:10] Panda
    Huh... Not bad. She's moving like
    someone who's worn a kimono before.
[19:16] Kokona
    Just lovely.
[19:18] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    I hope...
[19:20] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    we can see one together someday.

    It's been one week since
    I received this script.
[19:27] Kathrina
    That's 168 hours.
[19:31] Kathrina
    More time than I'd ever need.
[19:42] Kokona
    Wow... She's even better than
    she was in The Little Mermaid.
[19:47] Hiiragi
    She feels no emotion
    whatsoever towards her role.
[19:50] Hiiragi
    Yet she can still pull it off
[19:53] Hiiragi
    because she studied countless sources
[19:54] Hiiragi
    and acquired the movements necessary
    to play Kaguya from them.
[19:59] Hiiragi
    The focus required to pull this together
    in what little time she had

    is Kathrina's Sense.

[20:41] Hiiragi
    Next, Kokona.
[20:43] Kokona
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[20:51] Shizuka
    It's okay. You've got this, Kokona.
[20:54] Kokona
    The both of us...
[21:00] Kokona (Kaguya)
    Hey.
[21:03] Kokona (Kaguya)
    Have you ever seen a bamboo blossom, Misao?
[21:06] Panda
    Huh... This is different from
    what I saw in rehearsals.
[21:10] Panda (Misao)
    A bamboo blossom?
[21:13] Kokona (Kaguya)
    The books say they bloom
    only once every 120 years.
[21:19] Panda (Misao)
    Once every 120 years?
[21:22] Panda
    She's playing a Kaguya who's trying
    to be cheerful to hide her loneliness.
[21:27] Kokona
    With this strategy Shizuka-chan planned...
[21:34] Kokona
    Wait...
[21:36] Shizuka

    Aww...
[00:20] Sasuga Fan A
    It's hard to see Chisa-san's face from here.
[00:23] Sasuga (Old Man)
    But I believe their love for you is deep.
[00:29] Panda (Misato)
    In that case, how about this?
[00:33] Sasuga (Old Man)
    What is it, Misao?
    Do you have an idea?
[00:36] Sasuga Fan A
    I can see her! She's so cool!

[00:52] Panda (Misato)
    I'm sure the love
    of all five prices runs deep,
[00:52] Hiiragi
    Panda Yanagiba's Sense is the ability
    to read the minds of the audience.

    making it hard to judge them on love alone.

    So why not choose based

[03:41] Kokona
    Figures...
[03:43] Shizuka
    You lost the moment you copied Yae-chan.
[03:48] Kokona
    Yeah.

    Actors who want to be Dai Stars
    don't copy other actors' performances.

    I thought it was perfect.
[04:45] Hiiragi
    Perfect?
[04:46] Kokona
    Her expressions, movements, and the way she
    delivered her lines all seemed calculated.

    Can I help you?
[10:31] Kathrina
    Can we stop for a sec?
[10:33] Kokona
    Huh?
[10:34] Kathrina
    You totally just smiled now.
    What made you think you should smile?
[10:37] Kokona
    U-Um... Just because?
[10:41] Kathrina
    Don't act on "just because"!
[10:43] Kathrina
    Misao is supposed to be thrown by
    Princess Kaguya's innocence in this scene!
[10:47] Kathrina
    You smiling changes everything!
[10:50] Kokona
    I... I'm sorry.
[10:53] Kathrina

    Say, Kathrina-chan.
[11:37] Kokona
    I wanted to ask you for
    some advice about my role.
[11:40] Kathrina
    You need to work on your focus
    before you even think about your role.
[11:44] Kathrina
    You're a failure as an actor if you
    drop character and smile in a scene.
[11:48] Kokona
    That's not what happened!
[11:49] Kokona
    Um... How do I put this?
[11:52] Kokona
    I couldn't help it
    when I saw your performance.
[11:56] Kathrina
    What do you mean by that?
[11:57] Kokona
    Your eyes looked so uneasy.
    Like you were asking for help.
[12:02] Kathrina
    Uneasy?
[12:04] Kathrina
    What's that supposed to mean?
    Are you trying to blame my acting?
[12:08] Kokona
    No! That's not it!
[12:10] Kokona
    Misao is Princess Kaguya's attendant,
[12:12] Kokona
    so to see her lady uneasy...
[12:14] Kathrina
    Just do what you're told!
[12:27] Kokona
    She really does hate me.
[12:29] Shizuka
    Who cares about her?
[12:32] Kokona
    But Princess Kaguya and Misao
    are supposed to be like sisters

    it out at this point.

    If you truly want to be a Dai Star,
    why not strive to be genuine?

    Genuine?
[12:57] Niizuma
    You don't need to force yourself to go
    along with Kathrina-san's take.
[13:01] Niizuma
    You should perform in a way
    that's true to you, Kokona-san.
[13:06] Kokona
    Yae-chan!
[13:08] Niizuma
    Y-Yes?
[13:09] Kokona
    What do you think I should do?
[13:11] Kokona
    How can I put on a genuine
    performance with Kathrina-chan?
[13:16] Niizuma
    There's only one way to break
    a perfectly calculated performance...
[13:20] Niizuma
    Believe in the other actor and face
    them head-on without running away.
[13:24] Niizuma
    You can also save Kathrina-san that way.
[13:28] Kokona
    Save... Kathrina-chan?
[13:32] Niizuma
    The only one who can save an actor
    is the actor on stage with them.
[13:58] Kathrina
    What do you think you're doing?
[14:00] Kathrina
    You've been sneaking around,
    following me this whole time.
[14:03] Kokona
    I'm sorry.
[14:04] Kokona
    I, um, just wanted
    to know more about you.
[14:07] Kathrina
    What?
[14:08] Kokona
    Princess Kaguya and Misao are
    supposed to be as close as sisters.
[14:11] Kokona
    So, uh...
[14:13] Kokona
    I think we should learn
     more about each other!
[14:17] Kathrina

    with this momentary fragrance
[15:56] Panda
    Kathrin's completely
    calculated performance...
[15:59] Panda
    So far, it really is perfect.
[16:01] Panda
    And now we're headed into the climax.
[16:09] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    I have to... go back to the moon.
[16:13] Kokona (Misao)
    What?
[16:15] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    On the night of the full moon this month,
[16:17] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    messengers from the moon will come.
[16:20] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    There's nothing I can do.
[16:24] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    Even if I don't want to go back!
[16:33] Hiiragi
    Her Sense disappeared?
[16:41] Kathrina
    What's... my next line?
[16:45] Kathrina
    I need to focus...
[16:47] Kathrina
    Um... Huh? What was it?
[16:52] Hiiragi
    Sense that magnifies one's concentration
    creates explosive acting skills.
[16:58] Hiiragi
    But if the gears become misaligned,
    that ability becomes very fragile.
[17:02] Hiiragi
    It breaks like glass.
[17:38] Kokona
    What should I do?
[17:40] Niizuma
    The only one who can save an actor
    is the actor on stage with them.
[17:47] Kokona
    I have to protect her!
[17:56] Kokona (Misao)
    Princess, I promised I would protect you.
[18:02] Kokona (Misao)
    It's all right. I'm right here.
[18:09] Kokona (Misao)
    I will protect you.
[18:17] Panda
    That was close!
[18:19] Panda
    But they managed to get through
    by skipping over a whole page.
[18:22] Niizuma
    No, it's only just begun.
[18:24] Staff
    I'm sorry!
[18:25] Staff
    We're having electrical troubles,
    so the platform won't turn!
[18:28] Kamiyashiki and Terahara
    What?!
[18:44] Sasuga
    Wait... Has that girl always
    been in our troupe?
[18:50] Shizuka (Moon Messenger)
    Princess, please take my hand.
[18:53] Shizuka (Moon Messenger)
    I've come to take you back to the moon.
[18:55] Kokona (Misao)
    I don't care who you are!
    I won't let you have the princess!
[19:01] Shizuka (Moon Messenger)
    Come, Your Highness.
    It's time to return to the moon.
[19:09] Shizuka (Moon Messenger)
    You needn't say a word.
[19:11] Shizuka (Moon Messenger)
    You need only accompany me.
[19:15] Shizuka (Moon Messenger)
    Now, let us go.
[19:18] Kokona (Misao)
    Don't go!
[19:19] Kokona (Misao)
    Take me with you! Princess!
[19:23] Kokona (Misao)
    Princess...
[19:25] Kathrina
    She's trying this hard to try to make
    the performance a success, while I...
[19:35] Kathrina
    I...
[19:37] Kathrina
    I can't stop here!
[19:51] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    Wait.
[19:53] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    Once I don that sash,
    I will forget all that's happened here.
[20:00] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    Before that, I'd like to say goodbye.
[20:06] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    Misao!
[20:07] Kokona (Misao)
    Princess, no! I don't want you to go!
[20:12] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    I had so much fun.
    You were like a real sister to me.
[20:19] Kokona (Misao)
    Yes!
[20:23] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    I'm so happy I met you.
[20:31] Kathrina (Kaguya)
    Thank you.
[20:43] Kokona (Misao)
    My sister!
[20:55] Kokona (Misao)
    A month has passed.
[20:58] Kokona (Misao)
    Tonight, the full moon is
    hiding behind the clouds.
[21:03] Kokona (Misao)
    Can you see me?
[21:14] Kokona (Misao)
    My sister...
[21:24] Kokona (Misao)
    The bamboo blossoms...
[21:27] Kokona (Misao)
    truly were beautiful.

    What were you doing onstage?

    Kokona.

    The Final Show of SIRIUS's The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter
    Audience brought to tears by the singing of lead actress Yae Niizuma...
[02:06] Kokona
    She was so amazing!
[02:08] Kokona
    All the comments are about her, too!
[02:09] Kokona
    Yae Niizuma starred in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter at SIRIUS's theater in Asakusa.
    As most readers probably know, SIRIUS is a female acting troupe put together by
    our country's renowned World Dai Star, Shamo Yamabuki. Their performances regularly sell out,
     and while SIRIUS is gaining national attention, the one who shines the brightest among them
     is Yae Niizuma.
[02:09] Kokona
    Niizuma's rendition of Princess Kaguya was delicate, and she put on a fantastic performance
    that made the audience feel how strong her will was at times. Her solo during the climax was
    truly a highlight, and the whole audience was brought to tears, overwhelmed with emotion
     from Niizuma's song overflowing with her Sense. I definitely saw her potential as a future
     Dai Star as she captivated the audience.
[02:09] Sign
    Yae-chan was amazing in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter!

    Yeah...
[02:18] Shizuka
    You poured your heart into that performance.
[02:20] Shizuka
    So why isn't anyone saying,
    "Oh my gosh, she's amazing"?!
[02:26] Kokona
    Oh! I found a comment about
    you, Kathrina-chan! Lookie!

[03:12] Panda
    How do your schedules look today?
[03:14] Panda
    You're not working today, Koko-chan.
[03:16] Kokona
    Huh? No, I'm not...
    But how do you know that?
[03:20] Panda
    That means tonight...
[03:22] Panda
    We'll be throwing a move-in party
[03:25] Panda
    for Koko-chan, Kathrin,
    and Oshizu-chan as well!
[03:30] Sasuga
    Yay.
[03:31] Shizuka
    Um... I'm allowed to join, too?
[03:33] Panda
    But of course!
[03:35] Panda
    Actually, you're all required to be there.

    You! Will! Be! There!
[03:46] Kathrina
    F... F-Fine.
[03:50] Sasuga
    I can't wait to try your cooking.
[03:53] Kathrina; Kokona; Shizuka
    Huh?
[03:54] Panda
    It's tradition for the newbies to each
    make a dish for the party.
[03:59] Kathrina
    What? Even though the party's for us?
[04:03] Panda
    What can I say? It's tradition.
[04:04] Kathrina
    But...
[04:05] Panda
    Tradition.
[04:06] Sasuga
    I've never had authentic German food before!

[04:13] Kokona
    Let's do our best together!
[04:18] Kokona
    Kathrina-chan?
[04:21] Kathrina
    So be it.
[04:23] Kokona
    Now that that's decided, let's go shopping!
[04:26] Shizuka
    Yeah.
[04:27] Panda
    Whoa there.
[04:29] Panda
    You're staying here, Oshizu-chan.
[04:31] Shizuka
    Huh?
[04:34] Sasuga
    We're very interested in you.
[04:36] Kokona and Shizuka
    Huh?!
[04:38] Sasuga
    Panda is, at least.
[04:39] Kokona and Shizuka
    Huh?
[04:40] Panda
    I sure am! I've never encountered
    such a unique Sense before.
[04:45] Panda
    I'm just so curious that...
[04:47] Panda
    See? I've got dark circles under my eyes.
[04:50] Panda
    I mean, it's honestly pretty cute
    and makes me seem more panda-like.
[04:53] Shizuka
    Huh? Um, uh... sure?
[04:56] Panda
    How do you change clothes?
    Or hop in the bath?
[04:59] Panda
    Hey, do you disappear if you
    get too far from Koko-chan?
[05:02] Kokona
    Wait, what?
[05:05] Panda
    Well, I'm sure it'll be fine.
    Anyway, looking forward to the food!
[05:09] Shizuka
    Kokona!
[05:11] Kokona
    Shizuka-chan!
[05:14] Kathrina
    Is she going to be okay?
[05:16] Kokona
    No idea...
[05:18] Kokona
    But I'm sure Shizuka-chan would enjoy
    some time away from me.
[05:23] Kokona
    Let's go shopping!

    You sure bounce back quick.

    Hmm...
[05:37] Kokona
    Is there anything you'd
    like to eat, Kathrina-chan?
[05:41] Kokona
    Like a favorite food?
[05:44] Kathrina
    Hey.
[05:45] Kathrina
    Who exactly is Shizuka?
[05:48] Kokona
    She's Shizuka-chan.
[05:52] Kathrina
    Okay, let me put it another way.
[05:54] Kathrina
    What exactly is your Sense?
[05:58] Kokona
    Well...
[06:05] Shizuka
    A jungle?
[06:07] Sasuga
    We get all kinds of things from
    fans after playing various roles.
[06:11] Panda
    We got bamboo shoots this time.
[06:13] Panda
    Sassu fans are just too clever!
[06:16] Panda
    Now, then... How much do you
    know about Senses, Oshizu-chan?
[06:21] Shizuka
    Honestly, not much.
[06:24] Sasuga
    So you really don't even
    know much about yourself.
[06:27] Sasuga
    What a curious Sense.
[06:30] Panda
    Senses are special traits that
    began emerging when actors
[06:37] Panda
    started desiring a higher
    level of expression.
[06:43] Panda
    A little before the current acting scene
    became known as the great age of theater,
[06:48] Panda
    the stage was overrun with actors.
[06:53] Panda
    In order for actors to survive,
[06:55] Panda
    special abilities were born
    to help them take the spotlight
[06:58] Panda
    and shine the brightest.
[07:01] Panda
    Those are what we call Senses.
[07:04] Sasuga
    Just like animals adapt in order to survive,
[07:07] Sasuga
    I wonder if actors evolved, too.
[07:10] Shizuka
    Evolved?
[07:14] Panda
    Basically, we figure Senses are just
    a super-amazing form of expression
[07:19] Panda
    that only manifests onstage.
[07:22] Panda
    But Oshizu-chan, you're sorta... different.
[07:28] Kathrina
    There are actors who can awaken
    a different personality
[07:31] Kathrina
    within them via their Sense
     to fit certain roles.
[07:34] Kathrina
    It's rare, but there are even actors
    who can change their appearance.
[07:38] Kathrina
    Nevertheless, they remain
    a single actor on the stage.
[07:42] Kathrina
    It's inconceivable for another personality
    to appear alongside you
[07:45] Kathrina
    that other people can see, too.
[07:50] Panda
    Not to mention,
[07:51] Panda
    you don't seem to disappear when
    you leave the stage or Koko-chan's side.
[07:55] Panda
    I wonder what Koko-chan's Sense really is...
[07:59] Panda
    What exactly are you, Oshizu-chan?
[08:03] Shizuka
    I'm...
[08:06] Kokona
    As for Shizuka-chan...
[08:07] Kokona
    I met her during a time when I was
    failing one audition after another.

    To be! Or not to be! That is the question!
[08:17] (Flashback) Judge A
    You're not bad, but you lack Sense.
[08:22] (Flashback) Judge B
    You don't have any Sense.
[08:24] (Flashback) Judge C
    You need Sense that can excite the audience.
[08:42] (Flashback) Kokona
    Maybe I can't be a Dai Star.
[08:50] (Flashback) Kokona
    No.
[08:52] (Flashback) Kokona
    I can be a Dai Star!
[08:54] (Flashback) Kokona
    I can! I can...
[08:58] (Flashback) Shizuka
    You can.
[09:02] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I was watching you perform.
[09:05] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I thought you did pretty well myself.
[09:08] (Flashback) Kokona
    Really?
[09:10] (Flashback) Shizuka
    But you need to have more
    confidence in yourself.
[09:13] (Flashback) Shizuka
    You need to stand proud
    and let them know, "I'm right here!"
[09:16] (Flashback) Shizuka
    Your performance needs that kind of passion.
[09:19] (Flashback) Kokona
    "I'm right here"?
[09:20] (Flashback) Shizuka
    Just watch.
[09:21] (Flashback) Kokona
    Huh?
[09:23] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
    To be or not to be—that is the question.
[09:27] (Flashback) Kokona
    Hey! Don't go doing that right here!
[09:30] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
    Whether 'tis nobler...
[09:32] (Flashback) Kokona
    Huh?
[09:35] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
    ...in the mind to suffer
[09:37] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
    The slings and arrows
    of outrageous fortune,
[09:41] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
    Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
[09:44] (Flashback) Shizuka (Hamlet)
    And, by opposing, end them?
[09:50] (Flashback) Shizuka
    Well?
[09:51] (Flashback) Kokona
    Wow! Amazing!
[09:53] (Flashback) Kokona
    So that's how I should've
    performed that scene!
[09:56] (Flashback) Shizuka
    You can do it too, Kokona.
[09:59] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I'm Shizuka.
[10:01] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I'll make you shine brighter
    than anyone as an actor...
[10:05] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I'll make you into a World Dai Star.

    So I think Shizuka-chan
[10:20] Kokona
    is a version of me that has
    everything I've ever wanted.
[10:25] Kokona
    A me who's good at acting,
    super confident, and cool.
[10:30] Kokona
    Though I'm too embarrassed
    to tell Shizuka-chan that.
[10:34] Clerk
    Stop on by!
[10:36] Kathrina
    So a Sense that allows her to create
    an ideal version of herself as an example?
[10:36] Kokona
    Count me in! Got any recommendations?
[10:41] Kokona
    Everything looks so good!
[10:43] Kokona
    I wonder what everyone likes.
[10:44] Kathrina
    But then there'd be no need for
    Shizuka to show up on stage.
[10:46] Kokona
    Maybe these?
[10:49] Shizuka
    I think I came from Kokona's
    desire to become a World Dai Star.
[10:57] Shizuka
    I don't know who I am exactly,
[11:00] Shizuka
    but I want to help Kokona
    achieve her dream. That's all.
[11:05] Panda
    So why'd you show up on stage?
[11:08] Shizuka
    Because Kokona wanted the
    play to be a success.
[11:11] Shizuka
    But...
[11:12] Shizuka
    I honestly shouldn't have done it.
[11:15] Shizuka
    Because I only exist to make sure
    she can hold her own onstage.
[11:21] Shizuka
    So... I probably won't do it again.
[11:25] Sasuga
    Well, that's a waste.
[11:27] Panda
    But I think I finally figured something out.
[11:30] Panda
    When she was playing the prince
    in The Little Mermaid,
[11:33] Panda
    Koko-chan must've been channeling that
    role through you, Oshizu-chan.
[11:38] Shizuka
    Now then...
[11:40] Shizuka
    What's the meaning of this?
[11:45] Sasuga
    You really can wear the same costume
     just by imagining yourself in it.
[11:49] Sasuga
    Must be nice.

    Japanese tonkatsu is really good too, though.
[12:32] Kathrina
    And deep-fried horse mackerel.
[12:34] Kokona
    Come to think of it,
    Kathrina-chan, the way you eat...

    But of course.

    Season the meat and then coat it with flour.

[13:08] Kokona
    We're going to melt the butter first.
     Otherwise, these'll burn.

    So you're good at cooking?
[13:14] Kokona
    I wouldn't say that, but both

    so I was in charge of making dinner.
[13:34] Kokona

    A master chef is born!
[14:20] Kokona
    Ooh, that already sounds delicious!
[14:22] Kokona
    Smells great, too.
[14:24] Kokona
    Hmm? Is that smoke?
[14:27] Kokona
    What?!
[14:29] Kathrina (Hamlet)
    To be or not to be—that is the question.
[14:34] Kokona
    Hamlet?!
[14:42] Kathrina
    I guess it's true that
    no one is twice blessed.
[14:45] Kokona
    Does that mean...
[14:47] Kokona
    You actually suck
    at everything besides acting?
[14:50] Kathrina
    What?! I'm sure I would've
    been fine if this were a play!
[14:54] Kokona
    Are you sure?
[14:56] Kathrina
    I think so... probably.
[14:58] Kokona
    I see. So there are things
    even you aren't good at.
[15:02] Kathrina
    Is that a problem?
[15:03] Kokona
    No, it's fine.
[15:05] Kokona
    I'm just happy that I got
    to learn more about you!
[15:09] Kokona
    I didn't know anything about you
    except that you're an amazing actress.
[15:17] Kathrina
    I'm not a good actress either.
[15:19] Kathrina
    Even you must've been disappointed in me.
[15:21] Kokona
    Huh?
[15:23] Kathrina
    Everyone in my last troupe was.
[15:31] Kathrina
    I always performed alone.
[15:35] Kathrina
    I forced my costars and the staff to follow
    the ideal performance in my head.
[15:42] Kathrina
    The only reason they tolerated me is because
    I'm the daughter of World Dai Stars.
[15:47] Kathrina
    But...
[15:59] Kathrina
    I ruined an important performance.
[16:07] Kathrina
    I was supposed to succeed.
[16:11] Kathrina
    For my costars, the audience...
[16:15] Kathrina
    For my parents...
[16:18] Kathrina
    Yet I couldn't move. And now here again, I...
[16:24] Kokona
    Say, why don't we go ahead and try again?
[16:26] Kathrina
    Huh?
[16:30] Kokona
    I've messed up a bunch of times, too.
[16:33] Kokona
    I failed a bunch of auditions,
[16:36] Kokona
    Shizuka-chan always yells at me,
    and I lost the Princess Kaguya role.
[16:44] Kokona
    But I don't think I'll ever forget
    your performance as Princess Kaguya.
[16:52] Kokona
    Because it was our first play!
[16:56] Kokona
    Next time we do The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter,
[16:58] Kokona
    let's both do our best
    and get even more applause!
[17:05] Kathrina
    Kokona.
[17:08] Kathrina
    I'll do this, too! Teach me how!
[17:12] Kokona
    Sure!
[17:14] Kathrina
    And... thank you.
[17:18] Kokona
    Sure.
[17:23] Panda
    Okay! Is everyone here?
[17:26] Kokona; Shizuka; Sasuga
    Yes!
[17:30] Kokona
    Hiiragi-san... What's the matter?
[17:33] Shamo
    Don't worry about her.
[17:35] Shamo
    She's just relieved now
    that the play is over.
[17:39] Shamo
    She had a lot of stress pent up.
[17:44] Shamo
    She was apparently sleeping
    all day in her room, too.
[17:49] Kokona
    It's like night and day...
[17:51] Shizuka
    Uh, why are you two so close?!
[17:54] Kathrina
    Look who's talking.
[17:55] Shizuka
    Well, I'm Kokona's Sense!
[17:58] Kokona
    Why are you two so eager to fight?

[18:09] Niizuma
    They were kind enough to include me.
[18:11] Niizuma
    Also, I brought some taiyaki.
[18:15] Shizuka
    What an angel.
[18:16] Kokona and Shizuka
    Come sit over here!
[18:19] Kathrina
    What?!
[18:21] Niizuma
    Thank you.

    Is this a dish from your
    homeland, Kathrina-san?
[18:56] Kathrina
    Yes... Though Kokona made most of it.
[19:00] Kokona
    But you got a lot better at it,
     Kathrina-chan.
[19:08] Panda
    Koko-chan and Kathrin seem
    to be getting along great!
[19:12] Shizuka
    Well, they are roommates,
    so that's probably for the best.
[19:16] Sasuga
    But how do you really feel?
[19:18] Shizuka
    I hate it! I feel like she's
    taking Kokona from me!
[19:20] Panda and Sasuga
    Ooh.
[19:23] Shizuka
    Don't make me admit that!
[19:24] Kokona
    Are you good at cooking too, Yae-chan?
[19:27] Hiiragi
    Why did the newbies cook?
[19:30] All
    Huh?
[19:31] Kathrina
    You mean it's not a dorm tradition?
[19:34] Hiiragi
    First I've heard of it.
[19:37] Sasuga (Impersonating Panda)
    "Let's give Kathrin an opportunity
    to apologize to Koko-chan!"
[19:41] Sasuga (Impersonating Panda)
    "Her being so pouty is honestly a pain."
[19:44] Sasuga
    That's what Panda said.
[19:46] Panda
    Heh!
[19:49] Kathrina
    What?!
[19:50] Shizuka
    Oho...
[19:52] Kathrina
    I-I wasn't being pouty!
[19:54] Kathrina
    Who asked for your help anyway?!
[19:56] Panda
    What? I did you a favor.
[20:00] Panda
    I'm sure you're thinking, "Thank you,
    Panda-chan! You're super adorable!"
[20:04] Panda
    That's what your
    heart of hearts is saying, no?
[20:07] Kathrina
    No, it's not!
[20:08] Panda
    Oh, come on now!
[20:12] Shamo
    Some rather interesting girls
    have joined the troupe.
[20:15] Hiiragi
    Yes. I think I'm finally starting to see it.
[20:18] Hiiragi
    Panda, Chisa, Yae, Kathrina,
    Kokona, and Shizuka...
[20:26] Hiiragi
    I'm sure something will be born
    once their Senses collide.
[20:35] Hiiragi
    I'll do my best to nurture them...
[20:38] Hiiragi
    into World Dai Stars representing SIRIUS
    and following in your footsteps.
[20:43] Shamo

    No, Kathrina-chan... Don't go that way...
[21:24] Kathrina
    I'm not alone anymore.

    All right, so that will be our next play.

    Who knows?
[00:21] Shizuka
    Isn't that the spot you cleaned, Kathrina?
[00:23] Kathrina
    Huh?

[00:29] Kathrina
    Wha— Is it telling me to redo it?!
[00:31] Kathrina
    How dare you, you little rodent!

    You'd better do what Dugong says.
[00:37] Panda
    Dugong is famous for having a certain jinx.
[00:40] Kathrina

    Good day, everyone!
[01:14] Yae
    Hello, Dugong-san. You're
    still as cute as ever.
[01:21] Panda
    Well played, lead runner in the race
    to become the next SIRIUS Dai Star.

[03:37] Shizuka
    Our story takes place in a desert city
    in the Middle Ages.
[03:41] Shizuka
    We will be focusing on one of the most
    prominent stories from Arabian Nights...
[03:46] Shizuka
    "Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp."
[03:52] Shizuka
    That's a pretty flashy piece.
[03:53] Kathrina
    She said they've decided the cast already.
    Are they not doing auditions?
[03:57] Terahara
    At SIRIUS, the sponsor and
    director decide on the cast.
[04:01] Kamiyashiki
    Hiiragi-san used to always play the
    lead. Now, it's usually Yae.
[04:06] Terahara
    Ever since Hiiragi-san retired, people say
    that SIRIUS is a troupe without a Dai Star.
[04:11] Kamiyashiki
    SIRIUS's current objective
    is to make Yae a Dai Star.
[04:15] Kathrina
    Then what was the point in auditioning?
[04:18] Terahara
    If you feel overlooked,
    prove you're better than her.
[04:21] Terahara
    That's what we're all trying to do.
[04:23] Kamiyashiki
    Our primary goal right now is to have
    people talking about SIRIUS way more
[04:27] Kamiyashiki
    than when Hiiragi-san was in it.
[04:28] Terahara
    Yae-chan has the Sense and
    popularity to do just that.
[04:32] Kokona
    Why did Hiiragi-san retire?
[04:35] Terahara
    Haven't you heard, Kokona-chan?
[04:37] Terahara
    You can only be on stage with
    SIRIUS until you're 23.
[04:41] Kokona
    What? Really?!
[04:43] Kamiyashiki
    That's what Shamo-san decided.
[04:44] Kamiyashiki
    She said it's not good to be
    stuck in one place for too long.
[04:47] Kokona
    What should I do, Shizuka-chan?!
[04:49] Kokona
    I only have seven years left!
[04:51] Shizuka
    Well, bring it.
[04:53] Shizuka
    Let's make you a World Dai Star by then.
[04:56] Kokona

    Who...
[10:27] Kokona
    An Aladdin whose life in the grueling
    desert has made him detached.
[10:32] Kokona
    They're all completely different.
[10:34] Kathrin
    That just means the character
    of Aladdin lacks any core.
[10:38] Kokona
    Core?
[10:38] Kathrina
    The roles of the Genie,
    Abdullah, and Princess Leila
[10:41] Kathrina
    are all written out in great
    detail in the scripts.

    Aladdin: Everyone's desperate to survive.
    At night, they all get drunk to the music.
    You can smell the sweet aroma and hear the laughter...
    See? It's starting again tonight.
[10:44] Sign
    Say each of
    these sentences clearly!
[10:44] Kathrina
    But there's no solid direction for Aladdin.
[10:48] Kathrina
    Which means his character takes a lot
    from the actor's personality.
[10:48] Sign
    Aladdin: Sings
    I love this city!
    Everyone's desperate to survive.
    At night, they all get drunk to the music.
    You can smell the sweet aroma and hear the laughter...
    See? It's starting again tonight.
    Sings
[10:48] Sign
    Make sure your body...
    Don't let this line get drowned out.
    It's important
[10:51] Kathrina
    At least, that's what I think.
[10:53] Kokona
    The actor's personality...
[10:55] Kathrina
    With that in mind, it's really easy to
    imagine how Niizuma would play Aladdin.

    her characters to life.
[11:05] Shizuka
    The audience will surely enter the world
    of Arabian Nights through Yae-chan.
[11:10] Kathrina
    What makes Niizuma scary isn't
    just her singing Sense.
[11:14] Kathrina
    Her ability to make each character
    feel like they're actually her...
[11:17] Kathrina
    I hate to admit it, but I don't
    have that kind of charm right now.
[11:21] Kokona
    I wonder what kind of Aladdin
    I should try to play.
[11:26] Shizuka
    We'll just have to try out various versions.
[11:29] Kathrina
    Ahem.
[11:32] Kathrina
    You'll need someone to
    practice with, won't you?
[11:36] Shizuka
    Uh, hello? I'm right here.
[11:39] Kathrina
    Well, three's always better than two!
[11:42] Kokona
    You're going to help me?
[11:44] Kathrina
    If you end up messing up this role,
[11:46] Kathrina
    I'll seem like a failure, too,
    since you got the role instead of me.
[11:50] Kathrina
    More importantly, if you don't do this
    role properly, I'm going to upstage you!
[11:55] Shizuka
    As the Sultan?
[11:56] Kokona
    I think that itself could ruin the play...
[11:59] Kathrina
    And that's exactly why you
    have to work hard, Kokona!
[12:06] Niizuma
    Good evening!
[12:08] Kokona
    Yae-chan!
[12:09] Kathrina
    What are you doing here at this hour?
[12:11] Niizuma
    Didn't Hiiragi-san tell you?
[12:13] Shizuka
    Tell us what?
[12:15] Niizuma
    I'm going to be living with Kokona-san
    until the production starts.
[12:20] Kokona
    Huh?
[12:21] Kathrina
    Huh?
[12:22] Shizuka
    Living with...?
[12:24] Niizuma
    I look forward to our time
    together, Kokona-san.
[12:28] Shizuka
    Or rather... Master.
[12:34] Sign
    Stella of the Theater:
[12:39] Shizuka
    "Dear Kokona Otori-sama."
[12:42] Kathrina
    "I heard that you've agreed
    to take care of our Yae
[12:45] Kathrina
    in order to help her prepare for her role.
[12:47] Kathrina
    I do apologize that we are greeting you
    by letter rather than properly in person."
[12:54] Shizuka
    "Ever since she was little, our daughter was
    very aware of her surroundings,
[12:55] Niizuma
    Would you like me to help you?
[12:56] Kokona
    N-No! Yae-chan, you can
    just make yourself at home!
[12:58] Shizuka
    filled with compassion,
[13:00] Shizuka
    determined and uncompromising once
    she sets her mind on something.
[13:05] Shizuka
    Everyone often compliments her,
[13:06] Shizuka
    saying that she's an absolute gem,
    but sometimes this is not the case..."
[13:10] Kathrina
    Isn't this overly long?
[13:12] Shizuka
    I mean... I can tell that your parents love you...
[13:16] Shizuka
    But what's this about
    preparing for your role?
[13:18] Niizuma
    Yes. Aladdin and the Genie go through
[13:21] Niizuma
    good times and bad together after they meet.
[13:25] Niizuma
    I thought it was necessary to be in sync
    with Kokona-san, who's playing Aladdin.
[13:31] Niizuma
    I did actually tell Hiiragi-san
    about this earlier.
[13:35] Hiiragi
    Oh.
[13:36] Kudo
    Is something wrong?
[13:38] Hiiragi
    No.
[13:40] Hiiragi
    It's not a big deal.
[13:42] Hiiragi
    More importantly, about this part...
[13:44] Kokona
    I would've cleaned up if she'd told me!
[13:47] Niizuma
    So, yes. From today until
    the production starts,
[13:51] Niizuma
    as the Genie that serves Kokona-san,
[13:54] Niizuma
    I would like to take care of you, Master.
[13:57] Kokona
    M-Master?
[13:59] Kathrina
    Wait a second! You're planning
    to stay in this room?!
[14:02] Kathrina
    It's cramped enough with Shizuka here!
[14:05] Panda
    I heard everything.
[14:09] Kathrina
    Why do you two always
    show up at times like this?
[14:12] Sasuga
    The walls are paper thin.
[14:14] Panda
    We'll take real good care of Kathrin.
[14:16] Kathrina
    Huh?
[14:20] Panda
    Next, we're going to
    investigate Kathrin's Sense!
[14:24] Kathrina
    Hey! No! Your room's sorta scary!
[14:27] Kathrina
    K-K-Kokona!
[14:32] Kokona
    Maybe we should've stopped them?
[14:35] Shizuka
    Let's treat Kathrina to some
    ice cream sometime soon.
[14:38] Shizuka
    But for now...
[14:44] Yae
    Your wish is my command, Master.
[14:47] Yae
    I shall grant you any wish at once.
[14:51] Yae
    If it is within my power, of course.
[14:55] Shizuka
    Let us savor this happiness.
[14:57] Kokona
    Yes.
[15:14] Niizuma (Genie)
    Good morning, Master!
[15:16] Kokona
    Yae-chan? Good morning...
[15:19] Niizuma (Genie)
    I'm the Genie! Now, time for
    your morning rehearsal!
[15:22] Niizuma (Genie)
    Let's give it our all today!
[15:32] Kokona
    G-Good morning!
[15:34] Hiiragi
    Were you able to meet your quota?
[15:36] Kokona
    Yes, I made it. Three kilometers.
[15:38] Hiiragi
    I see. In that case, hop
    right into vocal training.
[15:41] Hiiragi
    Tongue twisters.
[15:42] Kokona
    Y-Yes, ma'am.
[15:43] Shizuka
    She's a demon.
[15:47] Kokona
    Thank you for the food.
[15:51] Kathrina
    What are you doing?
[15:53] Kokona
    An assignment from Hiiragi-san.
[15:54] Kokona
    I have to do a scene as a different
     character each morning.
[15:58] Kokona
    Tomorrow is Macbeth.
    The day after that, Tony.
[16:01] Kokona
    After that, there's Jekyll,
    Hyde, Inspector Javert...
[16:05] Kathrina
    All male roles.
[16:06] Kathrina
    I wonder why.
[16:09] Kathrina
    I-I mean... if you need someone to read
    with you, I guess I wouldn't mind.
[16:14] Kokona
    Really?! It starts with Act 3, Scene 2!
[16:25] Hiiragi
    Don't sit pigeon-toed!
[16:27] Hiiragi
    Separate those feet.
[16:28] Kokona
    Y-Yes, ma'am!
[16:30] Hiiragi
    When playing a male character,
    you'll use big gestures.
[16:32] Hiiragi
    Focus power in your fingertips.
[16:34] Hiiragi
    Think about every movement you make.
[16:36] Kokona
    Yes, ma'am!
[16:40] Kokona
    In the morning, I have to work
    out and practice the basics.
[16:43] Kokona
    In the afternoon, I have a table read,
     then singing and dance lessons.
[16:46] Kokona
    At night, I have a one-on-one
    with Hiiragi-sa—
[16:53] Shizuka
    This is going to continue
    for three months?
[16:58] Kokona
    Oh, Dugong-chan!
[17:01] Kokona
    Did you come to cheer me... up?
[17:11] Kokona
    I'm home.
[17:12] Niizuma (Genie)
    Welcome back, Master.
[17:15] Niizuma (Genie)
    Your futon has been laid out for you.
[17:17] Kokona
    Whoa, thanks!
[17:19] Kokona
    Um... I just can't get used to this.
[17:22] Kokona
    Could you just call me Kokona?
[17:25] Niizuma (Genie)
    Well, that's strange.
[17:26] Niizuma (Genie)
    I could've sworn my master's
    name was Aladdin.
[17:31] Shizuka
    That's Yae-chan for you...
    She's not breaking character.
[17:33] Niizuma
    I'm kidding. If you so desire,
    I'll stop for today, Kokona-san.
[17:40] Niizuma
    You did amazing work today.
[17:43] Shizuka
    What an absolute gem.
[17:46] Kokona
    But...
[17:47] Kokona
    Am I really going to make it,
    practicing like this every day?
[17:52] Niizuma
    Is this training difficult for you?
[17:54] Kokona
    Not exactly, but...
[17:57] Shizuka
    I know the fundamentals are important...
[17:59] Shizuka
    But you've had no time
    to prepare for your role.
[18:02] Shizuka
    I've been trying to figure out a bunch of
    things while Kokona's at school, but...
[18:06] Kokona
    What kind of Aladdin
    should I be playing?
[18:09] Kokona
    I...
[18:10] Niizuma
    There's still time before the production.
[18:12] Niizuma
    You don't need to rush.
[18:14] Kokona
    Really?
[18:15] Niizuma
    Yes! Not to mention...
[18:17] Niizuma
    The Aladdin you should play is quite obvious.
[18:21] Kokona and Shizuka
    Huh?
[18:22] Niizuma
    Aladdin meets the Genie, and ends up
    trusting him because of how devoted he is.
[18:27] Niizuma
    It's not because he can use magic,
[18:29] Niizuma
    but because Aladdin has spent all his
    life trying to survive in a desert city,
[18:35] Niizuma
    and the Genie is the first
    friend that he can trust.
[18:40] Niizuma
    Can you trust me, Kokona-san?
[18:45] Kokona
    Yes... I can.
[18:47] Niizuma
    Then it's simple.
[18:48] Niizuma
    That's exactly how you should
    pursue the role of Aladdin.
[18:52] Niizuma
    And then...
[18:56] Niizuma
    I'm sure this production will go well.
[19:00] Kokona
    Right.
[19:01] Kokona
    If I'm with you, Yae-chan, I'm sure...
[19:06] Shizuka
    Kokona?
[19:30] Niizuma (Genie)
    Here you go, Master!
[19:34] Kokona
    Thanks...
[19:40] Kokona
    Yae-chan, can I ask you something?
[19:43] Niizuma
    What is it?
[19:45] Kokona
    Why are you playing the Genie
    instead of the lead role?
[19:50] Niizuma
    If I want to become a Dai Star,
[19:52] Niizuma
    I need to show everyone a new Yae Niizuma.
[19:55] Kokona
    A new you?
[19:57] Niizuma
    Yes.
[19:59] Niizuma
    Innocent and pure maidens like the
    Little Mermaid and Princess Kaguya...
[20:04] Niizuma
    I thought those were the kinds of
    characters people wanted from me.
[20:08] Niizuma
    But...
[20:09] Niizuma
    I realized that I couldn't get closer
[20:12] Niizuma
    to becoming a Dai Star by only playing
    the roles people wanted from me.
[20:15] Kokona
    So you're working to become a Dai Star, too?
[20:19] Niizuma
    Of course!

[20:41] Niizuma
    Then, a World Dai Star.

    What if I really mess up?
[20:56] Niizuma
    It'll be okay.
[20:58] Niizuma (Genie)
    I'm the Genie of the lamp!
[21:00] Niizuma (Genie)
    You just need to tell me
    what you wish for, Master.
[21:04] Niizuma (Genie)
    And then, I'll make it come true.
[21:09] Kokona
    Then I have two wishes.
[21:12] Kokona
    I wish for this production to
    be a success. And...
[21:17] Kokona
    I wish for you to
    become a Dai Star, Yae-chan.
[21:21] Niizuma
    That's...
[21:23] Niizuma
    A very lovely wish.
[21:41] Kathrina

[21:43] Panda
    No, it's just...
[21:44] Panda

[21:47] Panda

[21:50] Panda

    The critics have nothing but praise.
[07:35] Panda
    And the day that Niizumacchi
    becomes a Dai Star draws near.
[07:39] Panda
    But is this Arabian Nights
    run really okay?
[07:43] Kathrina
    If you're hinting at something,
    just spit it out.
[07:49] Panda
    Koko-chan's performance.
[07:51] Panda
    It's been solely for Niizumacchi, hasn't it?
[07:55] Sasuga
    Yeah. She's just being the foil.
[07:58] Panda
    Is that how a star should be?!
[08:00] Panda
    Usually, supporting roles
     make the lead shine!
[08:03] Kathrina
    Yeah.
[08:04] Kathrina
    The one who should be carrying
    the story isn't doing it.
[08:08] Sasuga
    But Kokona's performance is
    definitely getting better.
[08:12] Panda
    Exactly!
[08:13] Panda
    That's what's bugging me even more!
[08:16] Panda
    I'm getting dark circles
    from losing sleep over it!
[08:18] Sasuga
    You're like a real panda. It's cute.
[08:30] Kokona
    Well? How was today's show?
[08:33] Shizuka
    I felt nothing from your performance.
[08:36] Kokona
    Huh?
[08:37] Shizuka
    I couldn't understand the Aladdin
     you were trying to play at all.
[08:44] Shizuka
    Because you're only performing for Yae-chan.
[08:48] Kokona
    Th-That's not...
[08:50] Shizuka
    Can you really deny it?
[08:53] Shizuka
    The play's gotten great reviews,
    and the audience seems satisfied.
[08:58] Shizuka
    But right now, your performance is bland,
    like you're trying to stay out of Yae-chan's way.
[09:06] Shizuka
    This is our first lead role.
[09:09] Shizuka
    At this rate, you'll just
    end up Yae-chan's foil.
[09:13] Shizuka
    You understand that, don't you?
[09:15] Shizuka
    So let's try this together one more time—
[09:17] Kokona
    Sorry!
[09:18] Kokona
    I have another show tomorrow,
    so I'm gonna go rest.
[09:26] Shizuka
    Kokona...
[09:35] Kokona (Aladdin)
    You said you'd grant me
    any wish, didn't you?
[09:38] Niizuma (Genie)
    Yup.
[09:39] Niizuma (Genie)
    As long as you're the master of the lamp,
[09:42] Niizuma (Genie)
    I'll grant you as many wishes as you want!
[09:46] Niizuma (Genie)
    Oh! But I can't bring anyone back
    from the dead or control anyone's mind!
[09:52] Kokona (Aladdin)
    But it can be anything else?
[09:56] Niizuma (Genie)
    Sure can! I'll grant you any wish.
[09:59] Niizuma (Genie)
    I am the Genie of the Lamp, after all!
[10:03] Kokona
    I'm sorry, Shizuka-chan,
    but I'm having so much fun right now.
[10:09] Kokona
    I mean... I'm on the stage I always
    dreamed of, performing with Yae-chan!
[10:14] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Genie?
[10:16] Niizuma (Genie)
    Hey! You don't believe me, do you?
[10:19] Kokona
    I don't care if I'm the foil.
[10:21] Kokona
    As long as this play is a success...
    As long as the audience is happy!
[10:26] Kokona
    Huh?
[10:31] Kokona (Aladdin)
    I'm not so sure about a genie
    looking like you do...
[10:34] Yae (Genie)
    Well, you can't judge a genie by its cover!
[10:42] Kokona
    They're not looking at me?
[10:54] Kokona
    No one is looking at me.

    gets stunned into silence,
[11:29] Niizuma (Genie)
    but I guess it took you a bit
     longer to get there!
[11:34] Niizuma
    The stage is going to go dark.
[11:36] Niizuma
    Let's regroup from there.
[11:39] Niizuma (Genie)
    All right! Let's try this
    again and have some fun!
[11:44] Panda
    She's so good.
[11:46] Panda
    She managed to turn Koko-chan's
    mistake into a laugh.
[11:48] Kathrina
    Don't make us sweat like that.
[12:01] Kokona
    I didn't notice because I've been so swept
    up in my performance since the first day.
[12:06] Kokona
    All this cheering and applause is for...
[12:16] Kokona
    I'm so sorry!
[12:18] Kokona
    I can't believe I forgot my line
    after we rehearsed so much.
[12:21] Niizuma
    It's perfectly fine!
[12:23] Niizuma
    I'll make sure to cover for you,
    no matter what happens!
[12:27] Niizuma
    Let's put it behind us and
    prepare for the next show.
[12:31] Kokona
    Okay...

    Kokona.
[12:37] Hiiragi
    Can I have a word with you?
[12:44] Hiiragi
    You couldn't concentrate at
    all during that performance.
[12:49] Kokona
    I'm so sorry.
[12:54] Hiiragi
    There's no show tomorrow,
    so make sure you get plenty of rest.

[13:31] Hiiragi
    Come in.
[13:33] Panda
    Pardon me.
[13:36] Panda
    Hiiragi-san, do you have a moment?
[13:38] Hiiragi
    What is it?
[13:41] Panda
    Do you think this production of
    Arabian Nights is really benefiting SIRIUS?
[13:46] Hiiragi
    What do you mean by that?
[13:48] Panda
    I'm honestly not sure if it's good for SIRIUS
[13:51] Panda
    when the star of Aladdin is being
    used as a foil for the Genie.
[13:57] Panda
    Am I the only one worried about that?
[14:00] Sasuga
    What's Shamo-san saying about it?
[14:04] Hiiragi
    I'm the one in charge of this production.
[14:09] Hiiragi
    She's leaving everything to me.
[14:11] Panda
    Then how do you feel about it?
[14:15] Panda
    How do you feel about our current
    production of Arabian Nights?
[14:18] Hiiragi
    How do you feel about it, Panda?
[14:21] Panda
    Well...
[14:23] Panda
    I honestly don't think it
    represents SIRIUS at all.
[14:29] Sasuga
    Panda...
[14:31] Panda
    The reason you made Niizumacchi the
    Genie is to make her a Dai Star.
[14:36] Panda
    I completely understand that
    this benefits SIRIUS.
[14:40] Panda
    But if that's the only reason
    you decided to use Koko-chan,
[14:44] Panda
    I'm honestly disappointed.

    I'm pretty sure I told you before,

    when you play a lead at SIRIUS,
[18:30] Kathrina
    you're one step closer
    to becoming a World Dai Star.

    You can do it too, Kokona.
[18:37] Shizuka
    I'll make you shine brighter

[18:42] Shizuka
    I'll make you into a World Dai Star.

    she'd try to do everything herself,

[20:25] Shamo
    Don't worry.

    she knew you could handle the lead.

    The lead changing the role with each show?
[05:26] Kathrina

    do it tonight.

    And if she doesn't?
[07:31] Hiiragi
    Then she'll continue playing
    the role as she has been.
[07:35] Hiiragi
    Even if that means Kokona
    will never take the stage again.

    We should get back to rehearsing.
[08:19] Kathrina
    Right.
[08:21] Kathrina
    What's wrong?
[08:22] Panda
    Did Hiiragi-san just... smile?
[08:33] Hiiragi
    It took you too long to find the answer.
[08:35] Kokona
    Huh?
[08:37] Hiiragi
    Come in.
[08:40] Hiiragi
    Shizuka.
[08:41] Shizuka
    Y-Yes, ma'am?
[08:42] Hiiragi
    You said that you two were
    practicing various Aladdins, right?
[08:45] Hiiragi
    Did you mean the versions
    others have played before you?
[08:50] Shizuka
    Yes.
[08:51] Hiiragi
    Forget all of that.
[08:53] Shizuka
    Huh?!
[08:53] Hiiragi
    There's no point in imitating other actors.
[08:57] Hiiragi
    Let's start right now by
    doing one scene at a time.
[08:59] Hiiragi
    I'll play the other roles.
[09:01] Kokona
    You will?
[09:03] Hiiragi
    I'll show you exactly how to use your Sense.
[09:07] Kokona
    My Sense?
[09:09] Shizuka
    How to use it?

    down the path to acting.
[10:11] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    Until SIRIUS produces a World Dai Star,
[10:14] (Flashback) Hiiragi

    Well, we'll need to make some minor

[10:55] Hiiragi
    Well, Kokona? Have you hit your limit?
[10:58] Kokona
    No... I can keep going.
[11:00] Hiiragi
    Okay. Then let's continue

    Yeah. I'm fine now.
[11:33] Kokona
    Let's go, Shizuka-chan.
[11:42] Kokona (Aladdin)
    The people in this town never look up.
[11:45] Kokona (Aladdin)
    They're too busy running their shops.
[11:52] Kokona (Aladdin)
    No one ever sees me.
[11:56] Kokona (Aladdin)
    No one even knows my name.
[12:02] Shizuka (Aladdin)
    But...
[12:02] Kokona (Aladdin)
    But...
[12:04] Kokona (Aladdin)
    I love this city!
[12:06] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Everyone's desperate to survive.
[12:08] Kokona (Aladdin)
    At night, they all get drunk to the music.
[12:10] Kokona (Aladdin)
    You can smell the sweet aroma
    and hear the laughter...
[12:16] Kokona (Aladdin)
    See? It's starting again tonight.
[12:19] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Another Arabian night.

[12:35] Panda
    Did her acting skills go up another notch?
[12:35] [SONG] Song
    A mirage rises from the heat
[12:39] Kathrina
    Aladdin's presence on stage is stronger.
[12:39] [SONG] Song
    All I can rely on is my body
[12:42] Kathrina
    This feeling...
[12:43] [SONG] Song
    My earnest eyes just look ahead
[12:43] Sasuga
    It's the Prince from The Little Mermaid.
[12:49] (Flashback) Kokona
    Um, when you say how to use my Sense...
[12:52] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    When you played the Prince
    from The Little Mermaid,
[12:55] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    what were you thinking about, Kokona?
[12:58] (Flashback) Kokona
    I was just so caught up in the moment...
[13:00] (Flashback) Kokona
    I figured that was how Shizuka-chan
    would play the part.
[13:04] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    It was a short scene, but you could
    clearly tell what the Prince was feeling.
[13:10] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    If you're just playing the role,
[13:12] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    you can't express
    what a character is feeling.
[13:15] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    Shizuka must be strangely good
    at blending into roles.
[13:20] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    Your acting style is close
    to perfect immersion.
[13:23] (Flashback) Kokona
    Perfect immersion?
[13:25] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    That might be the ideal type of
    acting you want to adopt, Kokona.
[13:34] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Wait!
[13:35] Sasuga (Princess Leila)
    Let go of me!
[13:36] Shizuka
    What Aladdin feels here
    is a faint sense of hope
[13:39] Shizuka
    after meeting Leila, who's from
    a completely different world.
[13:43] Shizuka
    Just maybe, he can finally escape
    his days of fighting for survival.
[13:47] Shizuka
    So...
[13:48] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Please.
[13:53] Kokona (Aladdin)
    I'd like to talk with
    you for a little longer.
[14:01] Panda (Abdullah)
    Will you live your whole life being poor,
    or will you step forward into a new life?
[14:07] Panda (Abdullah)
    The choice is entirely yours.
[14:11] Shizuka
    Aladdin knows nothing
    about the outside world,
[14:14] Shizuka
    so everything outside
    the city is unknown to him.
[14:16] Shizuka
    So to meet a mysterious man
    who sees right through him...
[14:21] Shizuka
    He's nervous and anxious.
[14:26] Panda
    She's actually pale and shaking.
[14:29] Panda
    It's like she's truly terrified
    to go into that cave.
[14:37] Panda
    Through Aladdin, even the
    audience is feeling it.
[14:40] Hiiragi
    To Kokona, Shizuka is the ideal actor.
[14:44] Hiiragi
    All she needs to do now is put in
    a little sweat to reach that ideal.
[14:48] Hiiragi
    That's why I've drilled the basics into
    Kokona these past three months.
[14:53] Hiiragi
    I had her play a variety of roles
    so she could gain experience.
[14:56] Kokona (Aladdin)
    This is the lamp he's after.
[15:00] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Finally, my life will be...
[15:03] Hiiragi
    The comprehension to perfectly
    draw out the emotions of a role.
[15:07] Hiiragi
    The keen expressive ability to convey
    those emotions to the audience.
[15:11] Hiiragi
    The two of them together bring
    the ideal performance to life.
[15:16] Kokona and Shizuka
    That's...
[15:18] Kokona and Shizuka
    our Sense!
[15:29] Yae (Genie)
    I'm the Genie of the Lamp!
[15:31] Yae (Genie)
    I serve whosoever possesses my lamp!
[15:34] Yae (Genie)
    I shall grant you any
    wish your heart desires!
[15:39] Kokona (Aladdin)
    You must be the genie from this lamp.
[15:42] Yae (Genie)
    Yup!
[15:44] Yae (Genie)
    You're in luck! You're one of a
    select few who get to see my powers!
[15:50] Yae (Genie)
    Let's start the music!

[15:59] [SONG] Song
    Surprise into when there was magic!

    (Ah) Even when I went into
    the Lost Woods alone,
[16:22] Kathrina
    The atmosphere just completely changed.
[16:24] Kathrina
    It's like a concert.
[16:26] [SONG] ---
    Surprisingly, I was never scared
[16:26] Panda
    If you get swallowed up here,
    this will be Niizumacchi's stage!
[16:28] [SONG] ---
    Because I've got adventure

[16:34] [SONG] ---
    (Uh)
[16:38] Yae
    Your performance earlier was brilliant.
[16:41] Yae
    But I can't let you outshine me
    on this stage.
[16:47] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Wow! You're totally amazing!
[16:51] Yae
    Huh?
[16:53] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Show me more!
[16:53] Panda
    She's not fazed at all.
[16:56] Kathrina
    She's planning to play Aladdin as he is.
[16:59] Sasuga
    My heart just squeed.
[17:01] Kokona (Aladdin)
    You really surprised me!
[17:02] Hiiragi
    When Kokona smiles, everyone smiles.
[17:07] Hiiragi
    When Kokona speaks, everyone...
[17:13] Yae
    I'm looking forward to it!
[17:39] (Flashback) Kokona
    Yae-chan's flaw?
[17:41] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    Yes.
[17:43] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    No one's realized it yet, though.
[17:46] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    Her Sense that allows her to express her
    emotions to the audience through song
[17:50] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    is entirely too powerful.
[17:52] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    By the end of a show, the audience
    will only remember Yae Niizuma.
[17:59] (Flashback) Shizuka
    But for a performance, that's...
[18:01] (Flashback) Hiiragi
    The world will never acknowledge an actor
    who destroys a performance as a Dai Star.
[18:06] (Flashback) Kokona
    Um... Why are you telling us this?
[18:13] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Do you hear the revelry?
[18:17] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Everyone's intoxicated
    by the Arabian night.
[18:22] Kokona (Aladdin)
    Just as you wished, Leila and I
    are living happily ever after.
[18:30] Kokona (Aladdin)
    It's all thanks to you.
[18:33] Kokona (Aladdin)
    If I ever get to see you again...
[18:40] Kokona (Aladdin)
    No... No more wishes.

[19:51] Yae
    To think that I could do
    just fine all by myself...
[19:54] Yae
    I was being vain.
[19:56] Hiiragi
    If you want to become a World Dai Star,
[19:58] Hiiragi
    I don't think you can do it alone.
[20:01] Hiiragi
    Sadly, I realized that too late.
[20:08] Yae
    I'll become one no matter what.
[20:10] Yae
    I'll work together with
    Kokona-san and the others.
[20:13] Yae
    So...
[20:15] Yae
    One day, will you join me again?
[20:18] Hiiragi
    That's...
[20:21] Kokona
    Hiiragi-san... and Yae-chan?!
[20:24] Hiiragi
    Did you need something?
[20:25] Kokona
    Oh, um... Panda-chan said
    you'd probably be here.
[20:30] Kokona
    Am I interrupting something?
[20:31] Hiiragi
    We're done.
[20:33] Hiiragi
    So, what do you need?
[20:34] Kokona
    Um...
[20:37] Kokona
    Thank you for helping me with my performance.
[20:41] Hiiragi
    Don't be so off the cuff next time.
[20:44] Hiiragi
    It's not good for my heart.

    Yes, ma'am!

    Wh-Wh-What? What?!

    It appears as though Dugong-san
    enjoyed the performance, too.

[02:00] Kokona
    Oh, yeah!
[02:02] Shizuka
    Did they say anything about you, Kokona?
[02:04] Kokona
    Just a little.
[02:06] Shizuka
    "A performance of note
    was Kokona Otori as Aladdin."
[02:10] Shizuka
    "Her Aladdin was overflowing with humanity,
     and she captivated the audience."
[02:17] Shizuka
    That's amazing! This writer is famous
    for being a super-harsh critic!
[02:22] Kokona
    This means our acting
    reached the audience, right?
[02:30] Shizuka
    Let's buy another copy.
[02:33] Kokona
    Huh?
[02:33] Shizuka
    We need to send it to your parents.
[02:38] Kokona
    Yeah!

[02:48] Panda

[02:50] Sasuga
    It's a summer tradition.
[02:52] Panda
    So, how do you find things at SIRIUS lately?
[02:56] Sasuga
    I think things are relaxing quite nicely.
[03:00] Panda
    Koko-chan, Kathrin, and Niizumacchi all seem
    to be affecting each other positively.
[03:05] Panda
    They're in top form now.
[03:06] Sasuga
    They sure are.
[03:12] Panda
    You know, I think we might just make it.
[03:16] Panda
    If we can keep this hype going,
    we might be able to get
[03:19] Panda
    SIRIUS back to how it used to be...
[03:25] Panda
    Um, hello?
[03:26] Sasuga
    Hmm?
[03:27] Panda
    Keep it coming.
[03:31] Hiiragi
    Today, we start rehearsal for our
    annual special theatrical showcase.
[03:36] Kokona
    Special theatrical showcase?
[03:38] Panda
    Every year, SIRIUS puts on a performance
    for the grade school kids of Taito Ward.
[03:44] Panda
    We're looking for interested children,
    and the chosen are invited to our troupe.
[03:49] Hiiragi
    The showcase is also for the
    purpose of nurturing future Dai Stars.
[03:54] Hiiragi
    Remain focused in order to put on
    a good show for your younger peers.
[03:59] Panda
    Hiiragi-san!
[04:00] Hiiragi
    What is it?
[04:01] Panda
    Um... Has the play already been decided?
[04:11] Hiiragi
    It's King Lear, same as last year.
[04:16] Panda
    I knew it...
[04:19] Sasuga
    The boss is dead set on it...
[04:22] Panda
    But doing King Lear
    for grade schoolers is, uh...
[04:24] Hiiragi
    We don't have much time to rehearse,
    so I chose the same play.
[04:28] Hiiragi
    Any objections?
[04:30] Kokona
    What's King Lear about?
[04:32] Shizuka
    A king betrayed by his daughters
    and exiled from his land
[04:36] Shizuka
    is taken by madness and slowly withers.
[04:38] Shizuka
    It's a tragedy about human absurdity.
[04:45] Hiiragi
    If you have something to say, then say it.
[04:48] Kathrina
    Why are we doing King Lear for
    a bunch of grade school kids?
[04:51] Terahara and Kamiyashiki
    She actually said it!
[04:53] Panda
    Excellent, Kathrin! You tell her!
[04:57] Kathrina
    King Lear is one of Shakespeare's
    four great tragedies,
[04:59] Kathrina
    but it's famous for being
    one of the most difficult.
[05:02] Kathrina
    Seems a bit much for children.
[05:05] Hiiragi
    True, the play might be difficult,
[05:07] Hiiragi
    but it's also important for kids to see the
    classics when they're impressionable.
[05:12] Kathrina
    Will they even understand it?
[05:14] Hiiragi
    It's our job to make sure they do.
[05:18] Panda
    It's no use...
[05:20] Panda
    At this rate,
    the same tragedy will befall us!
[05:26] (Flashback) Boy
    I'm scared!
[05:28] (Flashback) Girl
    Take me home!
[05:30] (Flashback) Kids
    No!
[05:33] (Flashback) Kids
    I wanna go home!
[05:41] Terahara
    What should we do?!
[05:42] Kamiyashiki
    There has to be something we can do!
[05:44] Sasuga
    Panda...
[05:46] Hiiragi
    When I was in grade school,
[05:48] Hiiragi
    I saw King Lear at the National Theatre
     in London and was deeply moved!
[05:54] Panda
    For sure! King Lear is an absolute classic!
[05:57] Panda
    I'm sure many would be moved by it!
[06:00] Panda
    But last year, the kids got scared
    and cried in the middle of it!
[06:04] Girls
    Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[06:05] Hiiragi
    Well, there isn't anything we can do—
[06:06] Panda
    Of course there is!
[06:08] Panda
    The point of the showcase
    is to nurture future Dai Stars.
[06:13] Panda
    As Kathrin said, King Lear is a bit
    much for grade schoolers.
[06:16] Panda
    So what we need to do is choose a play
[06:20] Panda
    that can move everyone and
    get them to fall in love with theater!
[06:24] Sasuga
    I agree with Panda.
[06:25] Terahara and Kamiyashiki
    We do too!
[06:37] Hiiragi
    I guess you have a point.
[06:41] Sign
    Victory!!
[06:45] Kathrin
    What in the world happened last year?
[06:47] Kudo
    This is going to be a test performance,
    so why don't we leave it to the girls?
[06:53] Hiiragi
    All right, let's discuss what play to put on.
[06:58] Kathrina
    How about one like The Little
    Mermaid
that's based on a fairytale?
[07:02] Panda
    That's a great idea. SIRIUS
    has quite a few in its repetoire.
[07:06] Kokona
    If we want them to get a real taste of
    theater, maybe it should be Shakespeare?
[07:10] Shizuka
    I think a comedy would be easier
    for a child to understand than a tragedy.
[07:14] Kathrina
    Well, if it's a Shakespearean comedy we want...
[07:17] Sasuga
    Twelfth Night, As You Like It,
     or Much Ado About Nothing, probably?
[07:22] Panda
    Hmm... We should probably go with
    something a little more mainstream.
[07:27] Niizuma
    This is rather orthodox,
    but how about Romeo and Juliet?
[07:33] Niizuma
    Romeo and Juliet is usually
    considered a tragedy,
[07:36] Niizuma
    but it also has romantic comedy aspects.
[07:39] Niizuma
    The story is also very moving and easy to
    follow, so I think they might enjoy it.
[07:44] Kathrina
    I think that's fine.
    I'm sure they all know it.
[07:47] Kokona
    It is pretty famous.
[07:50] Hiiragi
    Sounds like we have our play.
[07:51] Hiiragi
    We'll be doing Romeo and Juliet
    for the special theatrical showcase.
[07:57] Kokona
    What?!
[08:00] Kokona
    You're not going to be in it, Yae-chan?!

    Romeo and Juliet brings back

[08:43] Sasuga

    No way! You saying that is...

    A grade school girl who goes

[09:36] Panda
    earning her the nickname
    "the Theater Professor."
[09:42] Sasuga
    She's why the boss really
    wanted to do King Lear.
[09:47] Shizuka
    Did something happen?
[09:48] Sasuga
    After last year's show...
[09:51] (Flashback) Chika
    I truly felt SIRIUS's soul in making
    a brave choice like King Lear so boldly.
[09:55] (Flashback) Chika
    But did you forget that your audience
    today was grade school students?
[09:59] (Flashback) Chika
    With that in mind, you should have chosen
    something to make SIRIUS shine.
[10:03] (Flashback) Chika
    As someone who's followed SIRIUS for years,
    I was disappointed with this King Lear.
[10:08] (Flashback) Chika
    To quickly sum up everything wrong
    with this performance in an hour...
[10:12] Kokona
    She gave notes to Hiiragi-san?!
[10:15] Shizuka
    What a terrifying grade schooler...
[10:17] Panda
    She told us off, too.
[10:19] Sasuga
    Yup, yup.
[10:20] Panda
    So, Koko-chan!
[10:22] Panda
    We absolutely cannot lose this battle!
[10:26] Kokona
    "Battle"?
[10:28] Panda
    Sassu! This time, we'll
    really knock her socks off!
[10:32] Sasuga
    I'd love to make her
    put a sock in it too.
[10:35] Panda
    We'll sock it to her, for sure!
[10:38] Hiiragi
    We'll start rehearsal in ten.
    Make sure you're ready!

[11:13] Kathrina
    Not bad.

[11:28] Panda
    She's always so spacey, but she
    completely changes onstage.
[11:34] Panda
    I used to be so jealous of Sassu,

[16:21] Niizuma
    Thank you very much.

[17:07] Panda (Juliet)
    The Capulets and the Montagues.
[17:10] Kokona (Benvolio)
    From ancient grudge break to new mutiny...
[17:14] Kathrina (Father Laurence)
    where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
[17:18] Sasuga (Romeo)
    From forth the fatal loins
    of these two foes...
[17:22] Panda (Juliet)
    whose misadventured piteous overthrows...
[17:25] Sasuga (Romeo)
    doth with their death bury...
[17:28] Panda (Juliet)
    their parents' strife.
[17:35] Chika
    They're following the original play
    while adding a SIRIUS twist. Not bad.
[17:47] Sasuga (Romeo)
    O Juliet...
[17:50] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
    For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
[17:55] Panda (Juliet)
    O Romeo, if you love me,
    tell me from your heart...
[18:04] Panda
    Crap!
[18:12] Chika
    And it was all going so well
    up until now. How disappointing.
[18:28] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Let us swear under the holy moon
[18:32] Sasuga (Romeo)
    the love from our hearts.
[18:35] Chika
    What?! That was part of the act?!
[18:38] Chika
    I've never seen such a beautiful
    proposal from Romeo!
[18:41] Hiiragi
    Chisa's Sense allows her to incorporate
    any mistake made onstage

    by reading the audience's mind.

    When their two Senses
    work together perfectly,
[19:09] Hiiragi
    they take the crowd into
    the palm of their hand.
[19:22] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Juliet! Juliet!
[19:29] Sasuga (Romeo)
    My love, my wife... I won't leave you
    all alone in this tomb.
[19:50] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Thou detestable maw...
    grant me sweet death!
[20:00] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Here's to my beloved Juliet!
[20:07] Panda (Juliet)
    Romeo?
[20:09] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Juliet? How?!
[20:12] PAnda (Juliet)
    The friar gave me medicine.
[20:16] PAnda (Juliet)
    Medicine to make it appear
    as if I were no longer alive.
[20:20] Panda (Juliet)
    For if I were dead, I would be free
    of my engagement to Count Paris.
[20:25] Panda (Juliet)
    We'd be free from our crimes.
    And I could live my life with you.
[20:30] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Thank you, Juliet.
[20:34] Sasuga (Romeo)
    This love of ours should be able to end
    the feud between our families.
[20:40] Panda (Juliet)
    Yes, Romeo.

    I guess grade-schoolers
    have their own troubles.
[05:04] Kokona
    Kathrina-chan! We should get going.
[05:07] Kathrina
    No way!
[05:08] Kokona
    What's up, Kathrina-chan?
[05:10] Shizuka
    Is something the matter?
[05:12] Kathrina
    M-My mama just said... she's in Asakusa.
[05:18] Kokona
    Mama?
[05:19] Shizuka
    Your mama?
[05:20] Shizuka
    Y-You don't mean...
[05:23] Randos
    Theresa Griebel is seriously here?!
[05:25] Randos
    What's a World Dai Star doing in Asakusa?!
[05:31] Kathrina
    Mama!
[05:33] Theresa
    Kathrina!
SIGN    It's been so long. I've missed you!
SIGN    Me too, Mama.
[05:46] Kokona
    S-So bright!
[05:47] Shizuka
    That's a World Dai Star for you!
     Her aura's on another level!
[05:51] Kathrina
    It's just backlighting, you dummies.
[05:53] Theresa
    Oh, my!
[05:54] Theresa
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
    I'm Theresa, Kathrina's mother.
[05:59] Theresa
    You must be Kokona and Shizuka.
[06:01] Theresa
    Kathrina's told me all about you.
[06:02] Kokona
    Th-That's us.
[06:04] Shizuka
    It's nice to meet you.
[06:05] Theresa
    Wow!
[06:06] Shizuka
    Huh?!
[06:07] Theresa
    You can touch her and she can talk...
     Is she really a Sense?
[06:11] Shizuka
    U-Um...
[06:20] Kathrina
    Mama?!
[06:21] Kokona
    Theresa-san?!
[06:23] Theresa
    Oh, I'm sorry. I was just so curious.
[06:27] Theresa
    What a curious Sense.
    Will wonders never cease?
[06:36] Kokona
    Dugong-chan?
[06:38] Theresa
    Who's this little one?
[06:39] Kokona
    Um... sort of a pet that belongs to SIRIUS.
    Maybe more like a mascot.
[06:44] Kokona
    Meet Dugong-chan.
[06:48] Kokona
    Dugong-chan tagged along when we
    said we'd be meeting you.
[06:52] Kathrina
    Be careful. That rodent bites.
[06:55] Theresa
    I see...
[07:09] Theresa
    I guess the little critter likes me!
[07:11] Shizuka
    Totally wrapped around your finger...
[07:13] Kathrina
    You little rodent...
[07:16] Kokona
    World class...
[07:19] Kathrina
    So, why did you suddenly come to Japan?
     You're pretty busy, Mama.
[07:24] Theresa
    Well, I got some free time
    and wanted to see my daughter.
[07:29] Kathrina
    Is that the only reason?
[07:31] Theresa
    Yes. Though sadly, I have
    to leave tomorrow morning.
[07:35] Kathrina
    Huh?
[07:36] Theresa
    Oh, I know!
[07:38] Theresa
    Do you girls know a lot about Asakusa?
[07:41] Kokona
    Oh, yeah.
[07:42] Theresa
    Then could you show me around?
[07:44] Theresa
    It'd be a waste to come all the way to Japan
    and not do anything touristy.
[07:48] Shizuka
    Right now?!
[07:49] Theresa
    So with that settled, let's go!
[07:53] Kathrina
    I see you're as pushy as ever.
[08:06] Sign
    Kaminarimon
[08:06] Theresa
    Okay, smile!
[08:11] Kokona
    Why are we wearing yukatas?
[08:12] Theresa
    Because we look cute in them.
[08:15] Shizuka
    People are really staring...
[08:18] Kathrina
    Well, there's a World Dai Star here.
    What do you expect?
[08:21] Theresa
    Come now! There's no time to waste relaxing.
[08:25] Theresa
    Where are we going next?
[08:27] Kokona
    Well, if you want the
    real Asakusa experience...
[08:30] Kokona
    This!
SIGN    How traditional!
[08:39] Theresa
    Goemon!
[08:42] Fan
    Theresa-san! Can I get a picture, please?
[08:45] Theresa
    Oh, sure!
[08:47] SP
    Was?
[08:48] Theresa
    As long as you don't mind these
    future Dai Stars joining me!
[09:00] Kokona
    There we go.

[10:08] Niizuma

[10:46] Shizuka
    Theresa-san, you didn't sweat at all...
    in spite of the heat.
[10:51] Kathrina
    World Dai Stars don't sweat.
    That's what my mama told me.
[10:56] Shizuka
    She's definitely lying to you about that.
[10:59] Kokona
    But she's so beautiful that
    I'd actually believe it!
[11:05] Kathrina
    Yeah.
[11:14] Kathrina
    I thought I'd be just like her immediately...
[11:20] Kokona
    Kathrina-chan?
[11:21] Kathrina
    N-Never mind!
[11:28] Hiiragi
    We've been waiting for you, Theresa-san.
[11:31] Hiiragi
    I'm Noa Hiiragi. It's an honor to meet you.
[11:34] Theresa
    Thank you for looking after my daughter.
[11:38] Theresa
    Our troupe extended an invitation to you,
     but I guess you turned us down.
[11:43] Theresa
    I'm sad I can't perform with you.
[11:46] Hiiragi
    I didn't think I was ready for it yet.
[11:51] Theresa
    I see.
[11:53] Theresa
    Is Shamo here?
[11:54] Hiiragi
    She's inside.
[12:01] Theresa
    Shamo!
[12:03] Theresa
    Shamo! Shamo! Shamo! Shamo! Shamo!
[12:06] Shamo
    It's been ages, Theresa.
[12:08] Theresa
    I missed you so much!
[12:10] Shamo
    I've missed you too. How long has it been?
[12:14] Theresa
    Since before I married Tobias, so...
[12:17] Theresa
    Since we costarred in A Midsummer
    Night's Dream
in Paris!
[12:20] Theresa
    I played Puck and you played Titania!
[12:23] Shamo
    What lovely memories.
[12:26] Shamo
    I clearly remember you throwing a fit
    because you wanted to be Titania.
[12:31] Theresa
    I could play the role beautifully now,
[12:33] Theresa
    but I still can't live up to your Titania.
[12:36] Panda
    Yeesh, she's definitely a World Dai Star!
     Her aura's intense!
[12:41] Niizuma
    Super intense!
[12:42] Kathrina
    Is that what the kids say these days?
[12:47] Sasuga
    I came back in a rush.
[12:50] Sasuga
    Which do you think she'd like best as a gift?
[12:54] Kokona
    U-Uh...
[12:55] Shizuka
    Maybe you should cook them first.
[13:04] Theresa
    This is a lovely stage
    that's hosted many actors.
[13:07] Theresa
    I can feel its history.
[13:09] Shamo
    Your daughter's also working hard right now.
[13:12] Theresa
    Yes.
[13:14] Theresa
    Thank you for letting her join your troupe.
[13:17] Shamo
    Kathrina's talent is what got her in,
[13:20] Shamo
    though she seems to be having
    some growing pains now.
[13:26] Niizuma
    Excuse me.
[13:28] Niizuma
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
    My name is Yae Niizuma.
[13:32] Theresa
    Yae! I saw your performance!
[13:35] Niizuma
    Huh?!
[13:36] Theresa
    As Princess Kaguya and the Genie of the Lamp.
[13:39] Theresa
    Your closing show for Arabian Nights
    was especially magnificent.
[13:43] Niizuma
    I-I'm honored...
[13:47] Kokona
    So, um... We have a favor
    to ask you, Theresa-san.
[13:52] Theresa
    What is it? An autograph? Sure.
[13:54] Kokona
    I'd love one! But...
[13:57] Niizuma
    Even just for a second...
    could we see you perform?
[14:03] Theresa
    Me?
[14:05] Kokona
    Yes! We wanted to see
    a World Dai Star's acting live.
[14:09] Kokona
    Please!
[14:11] Niizuma
    Please!
[14:16] Theresa
    Hmm...
[14:24] Theresa
    If Noa will do it with me, sure.
[14:28] All
    Huh?!
[14:29] Sasuga
    The boss and Theresa-san are
    going to perform together?
[14:32] Panda
    That's too epic!
[14:37] Niizuma
    Hiiragi-san...
[14:38] Kokona
    Please, Hiiragi-san!
[14:47] Hiiragi
    All right, just one scene.
[14:51] Girls
    Yay! That's amazing!
[14:58] Kokona
    I wonder what they're going to perform.
[15:23] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    I'm the one who brought you here
[15:26] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    so that we could indulge
    this passion together.
[15:30] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    Your heart is under my control.
[15:35] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    You can never turn back.
[15:41] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    You can never even glance back at the past.
[15:47] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    Give yourself to me.
[15:50] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    What kind of desires will burn through us?
[15:53] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    What kind of sweet temptations await us?
[15:59] Theresa (Christine)
    You were guiding me,
    though I understood nothing...
[16:04] Theresa (Christine)
    Yet now I am here with you.
[16:07] Theresa (Christine)
    I will never turn back.
[16:09] Theresa (Christine)
    It's finally begun... our passion play!
[16:18] Hiiragi (Phantom) and Theresa (Christine)
    It'll burn through us!
[16:32] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    This is our final play!
[16:34] Theresa (Christine)
    The curtain rises!
[16:34] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    The final play!
[16:35] Theresa (Christine)
    The final performance draws near!
[16:38] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    We can no longer turn back, Christine.
[16:45] Theresa (Christine)
    Phantom...
[16:47] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    What's your next line?
[16:50] Theresa (Christine)
    Why...?
[16:52] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    I should be the one to play Don Juan.
[17:02] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    Come... Let us fall to hell together!
[17:13] Theresa
    I think that's about enough.
[17:15] Hiiragi
    Sure.
[17:25] Panda
    Oh, crap... I seriously thought I
    was at the opera house for a second.
[17:29] Sasuga
    Me too, even without a set or costumes.
[17:33] Niizuma
    My heart is pounding!
[17:35] Shizuka
    So that's how a World Dai Star performs...
[17:38] Kathrina
    She really is amazing.
[17:40] Kokona
    Hiiragi-san was amazing, too.
[17:42] Kokona
    I think she was playing her part
    so we'd all be looking at Theresa-san.
[17:47] Kokona
    She was truly like a phantom.
[17:49] Kokona
    But right there at the end...
[17:54] Kokona (Phantom)
    Come! Let us fall to hell together!
[18:00] Kokona
    Something like that.
[18:02] Panda
    You sure got guts to imitate
    that right after seeing it.
[18:05] Sasuga
    Nerves of orichalcum.
[18:07] Kokona
    Huh?
[18:07] Kokona
    U-U-Uh, I just...
[18:13] Theresa
    It seems your Sense helps bring out
    the performance of your costars.
[18:18] Theresa
    Thanks to you, I was able to give
    a show close to the original.
[18:21] Theresa
    I appreciate it.
[18:22] Hiiragi
    It was nothing.
[18:23] Hiiragi
    I got to experience what it's like to work
    with a World Dai Star's Sense again.
[18:29] Hiiragi
    It's so far away...
[18:31] Theresa
    The more you understand yourself,
    the more your Sense will evolve.
[18:35] Theresa
    I'll be waiting until then.
[18:43] Theresa
    This was such a fun day.
[18:46] Theresa
    Thank you so much for spending
    it with me, Kathrina.
[18:49] Kathrina
    You're not going to say anything?
[18:52] Kathrina
    I thought you came here to scold me for
    what a disappointment I've been.
[18:56] Kathrina
    I've done nothing of note
     even after performing
[19:00] Kathrina
    in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter,
    Arabian Nights, and Romeo and Juliet.
[19:05] Kathrina
    I'm only getting attention because I'm
    the daughter of a World Dai Star.
[19:09] Kathrina
    I haven't left any deeper
     impression than that...
[19:15] Kathrina
    Even though Kokona has.
[19:19] Theresa
    But you haven't been
    cutting corners, have you?
[19:22] Kathrina
    No.
[19:23] Theresa
    Then I don't see a problem.
[19:25] Theresa
    You're doing your best.
[19:28] Kathrina
    You think so?
[19:32] Theresa
    The reason I came to SIRIUS is to discuss
    the future of Kathrina Griebel's work.
[19:38] Kathrina
    My work?
[19:40] Theresa
    You've received a number
    of offers from various troupes.
[19:43] Kathrina
    Huh?
[19:45] Theresa
    They've seen your SIRIUS performances.
[19:48] Theresa
    They know about your mishap in
    Germany, but they still want you.
[19:54] Kathrina
    B-But that's so sudden...
[19:57] Theresa
    Opportunities appear all the time
    before you're actually ready.
[20:03] Theresa
    Is there a reason you have to stay here?
[20:06] Theresa
    I'll get you the papers
    from the troupes later.
[20:09] Theresa
    Give me your answer by the
    time I leave Japan tomorrow.
[20:13] Theresa
    I'll honor your wishes, no matter what.
[20:42] Kokona
    Kathrina-chan?
[20:55] Sign
    I'll become a Dai Star at SIRIUS
[22:40] Kudo
    Our next performance will be
    our last chance this year
[22:44] Kudo
    to get the World Theatre League
     to recognize a Dai Star.
[22:48] Kudo
    Still, we've never had so much trouble
    deciding on our fall show before.
[22:53] Kudo
    The reasonable decision is to go with Yae.
[22:55] Kudo
    Her acting skills are...
[22:58] Panda
    But Panda's not too shabby either.
[23:01] Panda
    I mean, she's so adorable, her Sense is
    super awesome, and she's got plenty of fans.
[23:04] Panda
    We'll just have to go with Panda!
[23:07] Sasuga
    I'd really like that, myself.
[23:10] Panda
    Don't take me seriously!
[23:12] Kudo
    What should we do?
[23:18] Hiiragi
    Our upcoming fall production will be...
[23:21] Hiiragi
    The Phantom of the Opera.
[23:25] Hiiragi

[00:42] Group
    Yae-chan?!
[00:43] Group
    It can't be...
[00:45] Niizuma
    I'd like to audition, too.
[00:48] Terahara
    No way. Yae playing the Phantom?
[00:50] Kamiyashiki
    I figured she'd try for Christine.
[00:53] Panda
    So that's how it's gonna be, huh?
[00:56] Panda
    Still, no matter who I'm up against...
[00:59] Sasuga

    Nineteenth century Paris.
[05:06] Shizuka
    Strange rumors are afoot
    about the opera house.
[05:10] Shizuka
    A shadowy figure darts through the darkness.
[05:13] Shizuka
    A ghost who makes no sound,
    dressed as a gentleman all in black,
[05:21] Shizuka
    appears out of nowhere.
[05:24] Shizuka
    He has a skull for a face.
    Is he human or a devil?
[05:27] Shizuka
    Such rumors surrounding the Phantom
     all have the ring of truth.
[05:33] Shizuka
    Christine is still a yet unknown singer
[05:36] Shizuka
    who lends her voice to the opera house's
    prima donna, Carlotta.
[05:41] Shizuka
    The production is a huge success.
[05:46] Shizuka
    But all the praise goes
    to Christine's singing.
[05:50] Shizuka
    Frustrated, Carlotta begins spreading
    bad rumors about Christine.
[05:56] Shizuka
    Christine finds out about this
    and is deeply hurt by it.
[06:02] Shizuka
    Then there's an accident.
[06:20] Shizuka
    Christine has a sensational debut.
[06:23] Shizuka
    Her voice charms Raoul, her childhood friend
     who happens to be in the crowd.
[06:32] Shizuka
    They reunite and rekindle
[06:34] Shizuka
    their romantic feelings for one another
     from their younger days.
[06:38] Shizuka
    But the Phantom cannot
    allow them to be together...
[06:45] Shizuka
    for he was the one who'd awoken
     Christine's vocal talent.
[06:56] Shizuka
    Driven mad by jealousy,
[06:59] Shizuka
    the Phantom kidnaps Christine
    and heads deep into the abyss.
[07:04] Shizuka
    Some of this is definitely
    a departure from the original,
[07:08] Shizuka
    but the Phantom is fundamentally the same.
[07:12] Shizuka
    The key here is how to portray
    the anger and solitude
[07:15] Shizuka
    the Phantom feels being shunned
    by society for his hideous face.
[07:25] Shizuka
    No one will love me.
    No one understands me.
[07:32] Shizuka
    I shall channel my rage into song!
[07:35] Shizuka
    As my heart wills!
[07:37] Shizuka
    So that I may forget my loneliness!
[07:44] Shizuka
    Music? It must be the opera.
[07:49] Shizuka
    I cannot stand the sound of it.
[07:52] Shizuka
    Let me play!
[07:54] Shizuka
    I'll give you a true opera!
[07:56] Shizuka
    It should be me!
[08:02] Shizuka
    No, that's impossible...
[08:07] Shizuka
    I am but a shadow. A hideous monster.
[08:19] Shizuka
    Yae-chan?
[08:21] Niizuma
    The Phantom's étude of rage...
[08:24] Niizuma
    That was magnificent.
[08:26] sign
    The Phantom of the Opera
[08:27] Niizuma
    We've only just received the scripts,
    yet you're already so into the role.
[08:32] Niizuma
    I must say, I'm a bit jealous.
[08:35] Shizuka
    It's no big deal.
    I've still got a ways to go.
[08:38] Shizuka
    I need to delve even deeper
    to really get into the Phantom.
[08:44] Niizuma
    Won't you take part in the play, Shizuka-san?
[08:47] Shizuka
    Huh?
[08:48] Niizuma
    I mean, all of us
    and the audience can see you,
[08:53] Niizuma
    so I don't see the problem
    with you performing.
[08:58] Niizuma
    Don't you want to try to play the Phantom?
[09:01] Niizuma
    When I saw you acting just now,
    I could feel your yearning to be onstage.
[09:06] Shizuka
    That'll never happen. I mean...
[09:12] Shizuka
    I'm Kokona's Sense.
[09:16] Niizuma
    I see...
[09:21] Niizuma
    Would you mind reading some lines with me?
[09:25] Shizuka
    Huh?
[09:27] Niizuma
    I suddenly feel like I want to be
     in this production with you.
[09:32] Sign
    The Phantom of the Opera
[09:37] Shizuka
    Sure.
[09:39] Shizuka
    If you think I can do it.
[09:44] Panda
    The Phantom and Raoul both fall for Christine,
     and she doesn't know what to do!
[09:49] Panda
    How unfair! I want to be loved too!
[09:52] Sasuga
    I thought you wanted to be the Phantom, Panda.
[09:55] Panda
    I do, but it'd also be fun to play Christine.
[09:59] Panda
    We only got bit roles
    the last time we did this show.
[10:02] Sasuga
    We were just nameless ensemble characters.
[10:05] Sign
    The Phantom of the Opera
[10:06] Sign
    The Phantom of the Opera
[10:07] Sasuga
    Playing the lead is nice, but the supporting
    roles in the SIRIUS version are good too.
[10:11] Panda
    I know, right?
[10:13] Panda
    In the original story, the ballerina
    Sorelli doesn't stand out too much,
[10:17] Panda
    but she's a key character here.
[10:20] Sasuga
    She's Christine's best friend and the only
    one who knows about the Phantom's past.
[10:25] Panda
    Carlotta's also pretty dramatized, too.
[10:28] Panda
    The audience is supposed to despise her,
    but she has a humanity to her
[10:32] Panda
    that makes her hard to hate. It's great.
[10:34] Sasuga
    I'm sure you could make her cute.
[10:37] Panda
    I think you'd be a decent Sorelli, Sassu.
[10:39] Panda
    It's basically a storyteller-type role,
[10:41] Panda
    and you're really convincing when
    you're on the stage by yourself.
[10:47] Panda and Sasuga
    Hmm...
[10:51] Sign
    Audition for the Phantom role
    in 7 days!!
[10:51] Panda
    We were supposed to be
    thinking about the Phantom.
[10:55] Sasuga
    Yeah.
[10:56] Sign
    Stella of the Theater:
[11:07] Niizuma
    I guess that about does it.
[11:08] Shizuka
    I feel like I'm starting to see it.
[11:10] Niizuma
    I think I'm starting to get the role, too.
[11:13] Shizuka
    Thanks, Yae-chan.
[11:15] Niizuma
    I should be thanking you.
[11:17] Shizuka
    I want to try this with Kokona immediately!
[11:24] Niizuma
    I need to go deeper...
[11:26] Niizuma
    to become one with the Phantom.
[11:32] Niizuma
    The Phantom's parents abandoned
    him when he was young,
[11:35] Niizuma
    selling him to a freak show
    where he lived a horrible life.
[11:43] Niizuma
    They worked him ragged every single day,
[11:46] Niizuma
    and the drunken promoter would beat him.
[11:50] Niizuma
    He lost the will to live.
[11:56] Niizuma
    It was Sorelli who saved him.
[12:01] Niizuma
    She secreted the Phantom away
    to the basement of the opera house.
[12:06] Niizuma
    That was where he came to know opera
[12:10] Niizuma
    and fell in love with Christine's singing.
[12:21] Niizuma
    I've still got so far to go...
[12:24] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    What are you doing in my seat?
[12:30] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    The fifth box at the
    opera house belongs to me.
[12:35] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    No one else is allowed to sit here.
[12:38] Niizuma
    But SIRIUS allows people up here sometimes!
[12:42] Hiiragi
    SIRIUS's Phantom is rather generous.
[12:45] Niizuma
    Glad to hear it.
[12:51] Hiiragi
    What made you decide to audition?
[12:55] Niizuma
    Just like when I asked to play the Genie,
[12:58] Niizuma
    I wanted to challenge myself.
[13:00] Niizuma
    To try for a role so unlike me.
[13:03] Hiiragi
    Every true actor wants to play a role
    completely unlike themselves.
[13:09] Niizuma
    Hiiragi-san, what do you want
    to see in this audition?
[13:16] Hiiragi
    The potential of Senses.
[13:19] Hiiragi
    The clashing of your Senses
     might give rise to something.
[13:25] Hiiragi
    A performance far beyond what I could reach...
[13:30] Niizuma
    I knew it.
    Now I really can't lose this audition.
[13:36] Hiiragi
    I'm looking forward to it.
[13:39] Niizuma
    If you had been the Phantom, Hiiragi-san...
[13:43] Niizuma
    I would've loved to be your Christine.
[13:48] Hiiragi
    Thank you.
[14:00] Shizuka
    How was that?
[14:01] Kokona
    I mean, it was amazing.
[14:04] Kokona
    I could really feel the Phantom's
    rage and loneliness.
[14:07] Kokona
    But...
[14:11] Shizuka
    You're not satisfied with this performance?
[14:14] Kokona
    N-No, that's not it!
[14:16] Kokona
    But I think there might be a
    different way to approach it.
[14:21] Shizuka
    A different way?
[14:22] Kokona
    Yeah. When I read the script,
    the Phantom I envisioned
[14:26] Kokona
    was sitting all alone in the dark,
     hugging his knees.
[14:30] Kokona
    He was so lonely and desperate.
[14:35] Kokona
    I'm sure he just wanted
    to be loved by someone.
[14:44] Phantom (Kokona)
    I always have the same dream...
[14:46] Phantom (Kokona)
    I'm walking under the sun
    with nothing to hide.
[14:50] Phantom (Kokona)
    I can dine out like normal people do.
[14:54] Phantom (Kokona)
    I go to mass on Sundays and pray to God.
[14:58] Phantom (Kokona)
    No matter how unsightly I am,
    I still seek the light.
[15:03] Shizuka
    Playing the Phantom as a man
    who's filled with dreams is...
[15:07] Kokona
    That wasn't exactly great,
    but how about something like that?
[15:14] Kokona
    Oh, but your version was much more like
[15:17] Kokona
    the classic Phantom of the Opera.
[15:20] Kokona
    Maybe we should go with that instead...
[15:22] Shizuka
    No.
[15:23] Kokona
    Huh?
[15:25] Shizuka
    We should portray your Phantom, Kokona.
[15:29] Kokona
    But...
[15:31] Shizuka
    If we don't, we won't get this role.
[15:35] Kokona
    Huh?
[15:40] Kathrina
    The most important part of playing
    the Phantom is his negative emotions.
[15:45] Kathrina
    The rage and loneliness he feels
    from being shunned from society
[15:48] Kathrina
    turn into madness
    as he descends into the abyss.
[16:04] Shizuka
    She's able to figure out how she wants
    to play roles all by herself now...
[16:16] Panda
    You want to observe?
[16:18] Panda
    Yeah, that's totally fine.
    We have nothing to hide.
[16:23] Sasuga
    Come on in.
[16:27] Terahara (Christine)
    "Phantom"? Is that your name?
[16:31] Sasuga (Phantom)
    Yes, that's what my mother called me.
[16:36] Sasuga (Phantom)
    Let us eat. I just got
    some excellent red wine.
[16:40] Kokona
    The Phantom and Christine's meeting...
[16:41] Terahara (Christine)
    Why do you wear a mask?
[16:43] Sasuga (Phantom)
    One who can't hide their pain
    with a mask of smiles
[16:46] Sasuga (Phantom)
    nor their delight with a mask of indifference
     cannot consider themselves a true Parisian.
[16:52] Sasuga (Phantom)
    Let's just say it's for my amusement.
[16:55] Kokona
    She's so cool!
[16:57] Shizuka
    Her Phantom is an elegant gentleman
    despite the loneliness he feels.
[17:01] Shizuka
    Anyone else trying a stylish Phantom
    would be at a disadvantage.
[17:06] Kudo
    Next, Panda and Kamiyashiki.
[17:08] Panda and Kamiyashiki
    Right!
[17:12] Kamiyashiki (Christine)
    Is this like a masquerade, then?
[17:15] Panda (Phantom)
    Indeed.
[17:17] Panda (Phantom)
    There are things in this world that
    you're better off not knowing.
[17:21] Kamiyashiki (Christine)
    But I want to know...
[17:24] Kamiyashiki (Christine)
    more about you.
[17:25] Panda (Phantom)
    Don't touch me!
[17:28] Panda (Phantom)
    Listen well. If you want to live
    here in peace, do not anger me.
[17:35] Shizuka
    She's playing the Phantom
    exactly as he's written.
[17:37] Shizuka
    And with Panda's Sense,
[17:40] Shizuka
    she can give the judges
    exactly what they want.
[17:44] Kokona
    Their Phantoms were really something!
[17:47] Kokona
    It's the same role,
    but they made it totally different!
[17:49] Shizuka
    Now's not the time to be impressed.
[17:52] Shizuka
    You have to beat both of them!
[17:55] Shizuka
    Next up, Yae-chan and Kathrina are going
    to be rehearsing on stage, so let's go watch.
[18:00] Kokona
    Yeah!
[18:02] [SONG] Niizuma (Christine)
    Two shadows overlap as this melody wavers
[18:07] [SONG] Niizuma (Christine)
    Until we fall into the abyss
[18:11] [SONG] Niizuma (Christine)
    I will swear myself to you for eternity
[18:11] Shizuka
    Her Sense is always incredible.
[18:15] [SONG] Niizuma (Christine)
    Even our sins can be hidden
[18:15] Shizuka
    We need a way to hold our own
    that isn't through song.
[18:18] [SONG] Niizuma (Christine)
    In this masquerade
[18:30] Niizuma
    Kathrina-san?
[18:33] Niizuma
    I hope you don't mind me
     using the stage before you.
[18:37] Kathrina
    Hey, would you read lines with me?
[18:43] Shizuka
    They're...
[18:46] Kokona
    Yae-chan's playing Christine?
[18:49] Niizuma
    I'm ready whenever you are.
[18:51] Kathrina
    Then let's do act 1, scene 9,
    starting from when Christine wakes up.
[19:01] Niizuma (Christine)
    Who are you?
[19:04] Niizuma (Christine)
    An angel? Or a demon?
[19:09] Niizuma (Christine)
    I want to know more about you.
[19:12] Niizuma (Christine)
    Because you gave my song wings...
[19:16] Niizuma (Christine)
    I want to get to know you.
[19:21] Kathrina (Phantom)
    You chose to come here.
[19:25] Kathrina (Phantom)
    There's no turning back now!
[19:26] Niizuma (Christine)
    I'm sorry! I—
[19:29] Niizuma
    Huh?
[19:35] Shizuka
    Did she just... predict what
    Yae-chan would do next?
[19:38] Hiiragi
    The effectiveness of her Sense
    has increased exponentially.
[19:42] Kathrina (Phantom)
    Take a good look at my
    hideous face, Christine...
[19:46] Kathrina (Phantom)
    This repulsive visage
    burned by the flames of hell!
[19:50] Kathrina (Phantom)
    Now you understand, don't you?
[19:52] Kathrina (Phantom)
    I am no angel. I am the Phantom
    of the Opera that you all fear.
[20:03] Hiiragi
    She upstaged Yae.
[20:15] Panda
    Kathrin...
[20:19] Hiiragi
    She took the rage and loneliness
    the Phantom held within for years
[20:24] Hiiragi
    and turned it into madness.
[20:26] Shizuka
    That isn't a facade. It's real acting.
[20:31] Shizuka
    Seeing this just...
[20:34] Niizuma
    Don't you want to try to play the Phantom?
[20:42] Shizuka
    This feeling...
[20:50] Kathrina
    Thank you for playing Christine.
[20:54] Niizuma
    Kathrina-san, you—
[20:55] Kathrina
    Stay away!
[20:57] Kathrina
    The Phantom is still inside of me.
[21:18] Kokona
    Everyone was so amazing.
[21:21] Kokona
    Especially Kathrina-chan's Phantom.
[21:26] Kokona
    I wonder how I can play a role like that.
[21:34] Kokona
    I'm pretty sure my Phantom
    isn't what the audience wants.
[21:40] Shizuka
    Care for a little trip?
[21:42] Kokona
    Huh?
[21:44] Shizuka
    There's somewhere I want to go.
[21:46] Kokona
    We can go after the audition—
[21:47] Shizuka
    It has to be right now.
[21:51] Kokona

    We haven't even been away six months,

[00:16] Kokona
    I feel so relaxed now.
[00:18] Kokona
    But should we really be here?
    The audition is tomorrow...
[00:23] Shizuka
    This is necessary, though.

    I think it was about when
    I graduated middle school.
[00:38] Kokona
    I wrote it on my future plans survey at school
[00:40] Kokona
    and my teacher looked so done with me.
[00:43] Kokona
    Oh, but I might've told
    someone in class before that...
[00:49] Kokona
    Huh?
[00:51] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    I'm going to be a World Dai Star!
[00:54] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    That's what I want to be!
[00:58] Kokona
    I told someone even before that...
[01:03] Shizuka
    Well, I figured you didn't remember, but...
[01:08] Shizuka
    I'll tell you what you're missing, Kokona.
[01:11] Kokona
    Huh?
[01:17] Shizuka
    The great age of theater...
[01:20] Shizuka
    This is the story of how to make
     one girl's dream come true.
[01:39] Sign
    Stella of the Theater:
[02:57] Sign
    Our Promise
[03:02] Shizuka
    There was once a town
    that was the beating heart of theater.
[03:06] Shizuka
    A town where actors and actresses
    played all kinds of roles,
[03:10] Shizuka
    bringing countless stories to life.
[03:15] Shizuka
    A certain young girl lived there as well.
[03:20] Shizuka
    She loved picture books and the
    stories her parents would tell her.
[03:25] Shizuka
    Eventually, she would become a storyteller
    too and try various roles herself.
[03:31] Kokona
    That's...
[03:34] Shizuka
    That was when the girl first saw...
[03:37] Shizuka
    a production put on by
    actors called Dai Stars.
[03:45] Shizuka
    From that moment on,
    she was captivated by the stage.
[03:51] Shizuka
    She went to the theater over and over
[03:54] Shizuka
    and reenacted the plays she saw there.
[03:57] Shizuka
    Sometimes, she was a knight
    who swore fealty to the king.
[04:01] Shizuka
    Others, she was a young man madly in love.
[04:07] Shizuka
    She'd get too into her role on occasion
[04:09] Shizuka
    and cause trouble for the people around her.
[04:13] Shizuka
    Those were fun and happy days for her...
[04:16] Shizuka
    But they didn't last long.
[04:20] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
    We're moving?
[04:23] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
    Our house will be smaller than it is now?
[04:27] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
    But why? What about theater?
[04:31] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
    I see... The ocean?
[04:35] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
    Yeah, that sounds fun.
[04:39] Shizuka (Young Kokona)
    It's okay. I'll just go to see plays
     by saving up my allowance.
[04:47] Shizuka
    And so the girl arrived in a new town
    where the sea and sky stretched out forever.
[04:51] Shizuka
    The scenery was unfamiliar,
    and so were the people.
[04:55] Shizuka
    The theater was so far away,
[04:59] Shizuka
    she had to take multiple trains to reach it.
[05:02] Shizuka
    Her parents were busy and didn't
    come home until late into the evenings.
[05:08] Shizuka
    On top of that... she had trouble
    making friends right away.
[05:17] Shizuka
    She was bored to tears when she was alone.
[05:23] Kokona
    That's right.
[05:26] Kokona
    I...
[05:59] Shizuka
    The little girl recalled the plays she'd seen
[06:03] Shizuka
    and brought that dream world back to her,
    one performance at a time.
[06:13] Shizuka
    Day after day, she never tired of it.
[06:19] Shizuka
    But being by yourself is a lonely thing.
[06:28] Shizuka
    Then one day...
[06:38] Kokona
    I remember now.
[06:40] Shizuka
    We finally met.
[06:43] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    Could you do that one more time?
[06:49] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    You must like acting. I love it too!
[06:56] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    Then let's do it together!
[07:01] Kokona
    The first friend I made after moving here...
[07:06] Kokona
    She wasn't anyone from school,
    and I could only meet her here.
[07:11] Kokona
    She loved acting,
    knew all the plays I had seen,
[07:16] Kokona
    and was a better actor than me.
[07:19] Shizuka
    We always wanted the same roles,
    and you'd always let me have them,
[07:23] Shizuka
    just because you thought I'd play them better.
[07:29] Kokona
    And my friend would always get mad.
[07:32] Kokona
    She'd tell me I wouldn't be able to play
    a part well if I kept lying about how I felt.
[07:38] Kokona
    That's right...
[07:40] Kokona
    How did I forget all of that?
[07:44] Shizuka
    Maybe it was because
    you couldn't control your Sense yet.
[07:49] Shizuka
    Not to mention that this was
    the stage we had to work with...
[07:54] Kokona
    Stage... my Sense?
[08:04] Shizuka
    I'm your Sense, Kokona.
[08:06] Shizuka
    The partner you created because you
    needed someone to perform with.
[08:17] Shizuka
    And...
[08:19] Shizuka
    The receptacle for the feelings you couldn't
     sustain after you lost your confidence.
[08:26] Kokona
    The feelings I couldn't sustain?
[08:31] Shizuka
    I want to be on that stage.
[08:34] Shizuka
    I want the best role.
    I want to outshine everyone...
[08:40] Shizuka
    Even if it means knocking other actors down!
[08:44] Shizuka
    I'm totally better!
    My performance was perfect!
[08:48] Shizuka
    I want to be onstage more than anyone!
[08:51] Shizuka
    So... why?!
[08:56] Shizuka
    Why doesn't anyone see that?!
[08:58] Kokona
    That's not what I—
[08:59] Shizuka
    You did think it!
[09:01] Shizuka
    I know your heart
    better than anyone, Kokona.
[09:07] Shizuka
    But it's okay to feel that way. You're an actor!
[09:11] Shizuka
    Especially if you want
    to become a World Dai Star.
[09:16] Shizuka
    Don't forget those feelings.
[09:19] Shizuka
    So...
[09:21] Kokona
    Huh?
[09:24] Shizuka
    I'm going to return these feelings to you.
[09:29] Shizuka
    I can't take the stage,
    so I shouldn't hold on to them.
[09:34] Kokona
    No! I don't want them!
    You keep them, Shizuka-chan!
[09:37] Kokona
    I promise I'll play the roles
    exactly how you tell me to!
[09:40] Shizuka
    You can't beat Kathrina and the
    others with half-hearted acting.
[09:48] Kokona
    But... I'm scared.
[09:52] Kokona
    This is too sudden...
[09:54] Kokona
    Without you, Shizuka-chan, I...
[09:58] Shizuka
    I told you from the start.
[10:00] Shizuka
    This is the story of how you make
     your dream come true, Kokona.
[10:05] Shizuka
    I'm not the star, so my role ends here.
[10:11] Kokona
    Shizuka-chan...
[10:20] Kokona
    Shizuka-chan!
[10:22] Shizuka
    I know you can make it happen, Kokona.
[10:25] Shizuka
    I can't wait to see your Phantom.
[10:46] Kokona
    Shizuka-chan...
[11:03] Sign
    Stella of the Theater:
[11:20] Sasuga
    It's almost time for the audition.
[11:22] Panda
    Yeah.
[11:25] Panda
    Kathrin, how's your right eye doing?
[11:29] Kathrina
    It's the worst.
[11:34] Niizuma
    Kokona-san...
[11:37] Hiiragi
    Are the four of you ready?
[11:40] Hiiragi
    Kokona was supposed to go first,
[11:42] Hiiragi
    but if she's not here in time,
    she's not fit to play the role.
[11:45] Hiiragi
    Kathrina, I know you're not in your
    best condition, but are you ready?
[11:49] Kathrina
    Yes, of course.
[11:53] Hiiragi
    Then come up to the stage—
[11:55] Kokona
    I'm sorry I'm late!
[12:01] Kokona
    Please let me, Kokona Otori,
    play the role of the Phantom.
[12:14] Hiiragi
    You're always like this.
[12:17] Hiiragi
    Kathrina, do you mind if Kokona goes first?
[12:20] Kathrina
    That's fine. I'm the one who's
    going to win in the end.
[12:24] Hiiragi
    Kokona, you'll be docked
    points for being late.
[12:28] Hiiragi
    Do you still want to audition?
[12:30] Kokona
    Yes! Please let me do this!
[12:56] Kokona (Phantom)
    I always have the same dream...
[13:00] Kokona (Phantom)
    I'm walking under the sun
    with nothing to hide.
[13:07] Kokona (Phantom)
    I can dine out like normal people do.
[13:10] Panda
    This is the scene where
    Christine takes off his mask
[13:11] Kokona (Phantom)
    I go to mass on Sundays and pray to God.
[13:13] Panda
    and he becomes enraged but
    also tells her how he feels.
[13:16] Kokona (Phantom)
    No matter how unsightly I am...
[13:29] Shizuka
    Being on a real stage was blinding.
[13:33] Shizuka
    Kokona's growth was blinding.
[13:39] Shizuka
    I want to be up there too.
[13:42] Shizuka
    I wonder if I'll be able to stand on
    that stage overflowing with light.
[13:50] Kokona (Phantom)
    I still seek the light.
[13:54] Niizuma
    There's no rage or resentment.
[13:56] Niizuma
    This is how the Phantom
    feels inside as a person.
[13:59] Kathrina
    Pure admiration for the stage?
[14:02] Kathrina
    To think she'd play the Phantom
    with that look on her face...
[14:19] Kokona (Phantom)
    I shall channel my rage into song!
[14:22] Kokona (Phantom)
    As my heart wills!
[14:24] Kokona (Phantom)
    So that I may forget my loneliness!
[14:30] Kokona (Phantom)
    Music? It must be the opera.
[14:36] Kokona (Phantom)
    I cannot stand the sound of it.
[14:39] Kokona (Phantom)
    Let me play!
[14:41] Kokona (Phantom)
    I'll give you a true opera!
[14:44] Kokona (Phantom)
    It should be me!
[14:46] Niizuma
    That's the anger and loneliness
    Shizuka-san portrayed.
[14:46] Kokona (Phantom)
    No, that's impossible...
[14:48] Kokona (Phantom)
    I am but a shadow.
[14:51] Kokona (Phantom)
    A hideous monster.

    I gave that performance my all.

[15:19] Panda
    The loneliness and rage of the Phantom
    hiding deep within the opera house...
[15:22] Panda
    I thought expressing that was the key to
    showing the Phantom's fear and sadness.
[15:29] Niizuma
    The variations of the
    Phantom we tried to play
[15:32] Niizuma
    are probably extensions
    of Hiiragi-san's Phantom.

[15:44] Sasuga
    His heart's weakness, its purity...
    The longing to step outside...
[15:50] Sasuga
    The annoyance, jealousy, and sadness
    of being denied what he wants...
[15:56] Sasuga
    I'm surprised she played the role
     in such a complex way.
[16:00] Panda
    I wonder what happened.
[16:06] Niizuma
    It must be... Shizuka-san...
[16:15] Shamo
    Your Phantom was wonderful.
[16:18] Kokona
    Shamo-san...
[16:19] Shamo
    You don't look like an actor
    who just got the role.
[16:23] Shamo
    Seems you haven't been able
    to shake off the Phantom yet.
[16:27] Kokona
    I don't think I'll ever be able
    to shake him off again.
[16:32] Kokona
    That wasn't actually the Phantom.
[16:34] Kokona
    It was the Shizuka-chan who
    disappeared into my heart.
[16:38] Shamo
    I see.
[16:41] Shamo
    Is this really how an actor who wants
    to become a Dai Star should be looking?
[16:46] Kokona
    Huh?
[16:47] Shamo
    Even after this production is done,
    your time on stage won't come to an end.
[16:53] Shamo
    I've watched many actors over
    the years. That's how I know.
[16:59] Shamo
    You still don't truly understand yourself.
[17:03] Shamo
    To be on the stage
    is to find yourself through acting.
[17:09] Shamo
    Your Sense is born by facing the
    brilliance that lies dormant within you.
[17:17] Kokona
    Find myself...?
[17:21] Shamo
    Why don't we go downstairs?
[17:28] Shamo
    Have a seat.
[17:31] Kokona
    Okay.
[17:34] Shamo
    Close your eyes.
[17:40] Shamo
    In front of you is your other self.
[17:44] Shamo
    The person you need to talk to.
[17:48] Shamo
    Go on, ask her. Ask her what
    you want to do right now.
[17:54] Kokona
    What I... want to do?
[18:12] Kokona
    Why did I want to become
    a World Dai Star again?
[18:17] Young Kokona
    You even forgot something that important?
[18:22] Young Kokona
    It's because you love the theater.
[18:24] Kokona
    But that's not a rational thought to have.
[18:27] Kokona
    They're, like, the best of the absolute best.
[18:30] Young Kokona
    Well, you fell in love with them.
    What can you do?
[18:35] Young Kokona
    Besides, it's not just my dream.
[18:39] Kokona
    Huh?
[18:41] Young Kokona
    I would've lost hope if I'd been alone,
     so I needed her.
[18:49] Young Kokona
    Remember our promise.
[18:58] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    It's no use. I've only ever
    acted in front of my parents...
[19:04] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    It's always easy to find reasons
    not to do something.
[19:07] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    You know that, Kokona.
[19:10] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    What's important is how you feel!
     How you feel, Kokona!
[19:13] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    What do you want to do?
[19:16] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    Me?
[19:17] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    I'll give you some advice.
    You need to say your dreams out loud.
[19:22] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    Say you're going to make them come true
    and make yourself believe it!
[19:25] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    Make myself believe it? How?
[19:29] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    It's easy.
[19:31] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    Just play the part of a girl with dreams!
[19:34] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    Play the part?
[19:36] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    Become her!
[19:38] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    All so you can make your dream come
    true and become a World Dai Star.
[19:43] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    What about you, Shizuka-chan?
[19:44] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    Huh?
[19:45] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    You're not going to be one, Shizuka-chan?
[19:50] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    You're going to become one for me too!
[19:57] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    Okay.
[19:59] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    I'm going to be a World Dai Star!
[20:02] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    That's what I want to be!
[20:03] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    If I can become one,
    I know you'll be one too, Shizuka-chan!

    Someday, let's take the stage together!
[20:19] (Flashback) Young Kokona
    It's a promise!
[20:21] (Flashback) Young Shizuka
    Yeah, it's a promise.
[20:31] Kokona
    Someday, let's take the stage together...

    Kokona-chan?
[20:46] Kokona
    I'm going to go rehearse with everyone...
[20:49] Kokona
    so that I can see Shizuka-chan again!
[21:00] Panda
    Koko-chan...
[21:02] Kokona
    I have to work hard for Shizuka-chan, too.
[21:06] Kokona
    I need to make The Phantom of the Opera
    a success so I can become a World Dai Star.
[21:13] Kokona
    So...

    Please help me out, everyone!
    I need your help!

    You got nothing to worry about!
    We're your friends, after all.

    be dense is French baguettes.

    Everyone...

    Kokona!
[21:44] Kathrina
    You can have the role of the Phantom,
    but this time, I'm going to upstage you!
[21:48] Kathrina
    You'd better be ready!
[21:50] Kokona
    Kathrina-chan...
[21:52] Panda
    You're so young and edgy, Kathrin.
[21:54] Sasuga
    So edgy I might cut myself.
[21:56] Kathrina
    Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
[21:58] Niizuma
    That you're edgy.

    performance out of my head.

    When they said Shizuka disappeared,
    it became obvious.
[02:10] Hiiragi
    Producing a World Dai Star here at SIRIUS...
[02:13] Hiiragi
    That selfish desire of mine
    may have taken the Sense...
[02:18] Hiiragi
    may have taken Shizuka from Kokona.
[02:22] Hiiragi
    But even so, I didn't recast
    the play because I still wanted to see

[05:19] [SONG] Lyrics
    This empty audience, the soundless cheers
[05:20] (Flashback) Sasuga
    during The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter.
[05:23] (Flashback) Kokona
    Huh?
[05:24] (Flashback) Sasuga
    When I watch you play the Phantom,
    it reminds me of Shizuka back then.
[05:29] [SONG] Lyrics
    The clock begins to move; now rise, curtain
[05:29] (Flashback) Sasuga
    Like the Phantom who bestowed Christine
    with his dreams and vanished.
[05:35] (Flashback) Sasuga
    It'd be weird to have a Sense
    that only exists to disappear, right?
[05:38] [SONG] Lyrics
    She sways back and forth
[05:39] (Flashback) Sasuga
    That's nonsense.
[05:42] (Flashback) Kokona
    Yeah.
[05:44] [SONG] Lyrics
    In the moonlight, her shining beads
    of sweat resemble jewels
[05:45] Kokona
    Shizuka-chan, I...
[05:48] Kokona
    I have so much I need to tell you.
[05:53] [SONG] Lyrics
    Pas de chat un deux trois,
    until the day she can shine
[06:05] Terahara (Moncharmin)
    Everyone, please stay calm!
[06:08] Terahara (Moncharmin)
    That was just a little accident.
[06:11] Panda (Carlotta)
    Why...
[06:13] Terahara (Moncharmin)
    Richard! Take care of Carlotta.
[06:23] Kokona (Phantom)
    The defiler of opera has exited the stage.
[06:27] Niizuma (Christine)
    That voice... Are you the angel?
[06:30] Kokona (Phantom)
    Do not turn around.
[06:32] Kokona (Phantom)
    The show must go on.
    Do not let the performance stop.
[06:37] Niizuma (Christine)
    What should I do?
[06:40] Kokona (Phantom)
    Let them hear you sing.
[06:43] Niizuma (Christine)
    But...
[06:45] Kokona (Phantom)
    Don't worry. I know you can do it.
[06:49] Kokona (Phantom)
    Believe in me.
[06:55] [SONG] Lyrics
    Dust dances around on this old stage
[07:05] [SONG] Lyrics
    Her crushed toes...
[07:12] Kathrina (Raoul)
    Oh? Isn't this Christine's dressing room?
[07:15] Sasuga (Sorelli)
    It is. Do you need something from her?
[07:19] Niizuma (Christine)
    Who are you?
[07:20] Kathrina (Raoul)
    Christine! Do you remember me?
[07:24] Kathrina (Raoul)
    Maybe this will refresh your memory...
[07:27] Kathrina (Raoul)
    I'm the boy who retrieved
    your scarf from the ocean.
[07:28] Kokona
    I've been able to take the stage because
    it's where Shizuka-chan saw me off.
[07:31] Niizuma (Christine)
    Raoul?! Is that you, Raoul?
[07:39] Niizuma (Christine)
    Did you hear something just now?
[07:41] Kathrina (Raoul)
    Hmm? No, nothing.
[07:47] Kokona
    But I had no idea how Shizuka-chan felt.
[07:52] Kokona
    So one more time...
[07:56] Kokona (Phantom)
    Christine.
[07:58] Kokona (Phantom)
    You wanted to see me, didn't you?
[08:01] Niizuma (Christine)
    Y-Yes...
[08:03] Kokona (Phantom)
    Then I shall invite you to my dwelling.
[08:06] Kokona (Phantom)
    Behold how you look in that mirror!
[08:20] [SONG] Lyrics
    I'm drowning...
[08:24] [SONG] Lyrics
    I'm melting...
[08:28] [SONG] Lyrics
    Into you...
[08:34] [SONG] Lyrics
    Inside this dream
[08:35] [SONG] Lyrics
    Inside this dream
[08:36] [SONG] Lyrics
    I question
[08:37] [SONG] Lyrics
    I call you
[08:38] [SONG] Lyrics
    You sing praises of my name,
     just who are you?
[08:42] [SONG] Lyrics
    Can you hear me?
[08:43] [SONG] Lyrics
    I can hear you
[08:44] [SONG] Lyrics
    It's the beginning of this despair
[08:46] [SONG] Lyrics
    The curtain rises on this darkness
[08:50] [SONG] Lyrics
    I'm scared
[08:53] [SONG] Lyrics
    Even fear...
[08:54] [SONG] Lyrics
    It's not fair
[08:57] [SONG] Lyrics
    ...can be sweet
[08:59] [SONG] Lyrics
    My heart commits a taboo, aah
[09:03] Kudo
    Wait... We didn't prepare
    anything like that.
[09:07] [SONG] Lyrics
    You are my angel
[09:10] [SONG] Lyrics
    Two shadows overlap as this melody wavers
[09:15] Niizuma
    This feeling... It was the
    same way with Theresa-san.
[09:15] [SONG] Lyrics
    Until we fall into the abyss
[09:19] [SONG] Lyrics
    I will swear myself to you for eternity
[09:23] [SONG] Lyrics
    Even our sins can be hidden
[09:25] Theresa
    Expressiveness polished
    to the limit via one's Sense
[09:26] [SONG] Lyrics
    In this masquerade
[09:28] Theresa
    allows an actor to show everyone
    the world they imagine.
[09:30] [SONG] Lyrics
    I'm drowning...
[09:32] Hiiragi
    Her Sense evolved...
[09:34] [SONG] Lyrics
    I'm melting...
[09:43] Kokona (Phantom)
    I always have the same dream...
[09:46] Kokona (Phantom)
    I'm walking under the sun
    with nothing to hide.
[09:53] Kokona (Phantom)
    I can dine out like normal people do.
[09:57] Kokona (Phantom)
    I go to mass on Sundays and pray to God.
[10:03] Kokona (Phantom)
    No matter how unsightly I am,
    I still seek the light.
[10:11] Niizuma (Christine)
    Is there anything wrong with that?
[10:17] Niizuma (Christine)
    I'm sorry I was so startled earlier.
    I won't run away again.
[10:23] Niizuma (Christine)
    So please, show me your face once more.
[10:31] (Flashback) Kokona
    I see.
[10:33] (Flashback) Kokona
    I thought the Phantom
    was being indifferent here
[10:36] (Flashback) Kokona
    because he didn't want
    to talk about the past, but...
[10:38] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I don't think that's the only reason.
[10:40] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I think he loves spending time with
    Christine and wants to make the most of it.
[10:47] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I realized that after hearing
    your interpretation of the Phantom.
[10:50] (Flashback) Kokona
    You really are amazing, Shizuka-chan!
[10:53] (Flashback) Shizuka
    Again, you'll be the one
    playing the part, Kokona.
[10:57] (Flashback) Kokona
    Though it'd be the best if we
    could perform together.
[11:13] Shizuka
    Kokona...
[11:16] Sign
    Stella of the Theater:
[11:24] Kokona
    Shizuka-chan.
[11:30] Shizuka
    Should the Phantom be here?
[11:34] Shizuka
    You're not done yet, but it's
    been a great performance so far.
[11:38] Shizuka
    Far better than when
    we rehearsed it together.
[11:42] Shizuka
    You really could become
    a World Dai Star, Kokona.
[11:46] Kokona
    I will someday.
[11:50] Kokona
    The truth is, somewhere deep inside,
    I didn't think I could do it.
[11:55] Kokona
    I was entirely self-taught before SIRIUS,
[11:58] Kokona
    and at auditions, I always got told
    I didn't have any Sense...
[12:02] Kokona
    I didn't believe in myself.
[12:05] Kokona
    That's why I forgot about you
     and the promise we made.
[12:13] Kokona
    But I believe now,
    from the bottom of my heart.
[12:18] Kokona
    Because we promised each other.
[12:20] Kokona
    You can't make a promise without two people.
[12:26] Kokona
    You said this was my story, Shizuka-chan...
[12:31] Kokona
    But it's actually our story.
[12:50] Kokona
    What do you want to do, Shizuka-chan?
[12:56] Young Kokona
    Someday, let's take the stage together!
[13:03] Young Kokona
    It's a promise.
[13:05] Young Shizuka
    Yeah.
[13:06] Shizuka
    It's a promise.
[13:12] Shizuka
    I want to be up there...
    alongside you, Kokona.
[13:17] Kokona
    Let's go back to our stage!
[13:32] Kathrina (Raoul)
    I will protect you.
[13:35] Kathrina (Raoul)
    I will free you from that monster!
[13:42] Kathrina (Raoul)
    I will become your light.
[13:50] Kokona (Phantom)
    I'm the one who gave you music.
[13:54] Kokona (Phantom)
    I'm the one who rekindled your passion.
[13:58] Kokona (Phantom)
    And this is what I get in return?
[14:02] Kokona (Phantom)
    I won't stand for this...
    I will not tolerate it!
[14:06] Kokona (Phantom)
    May divine punishment befall
    those who betrayed me!
[14:26] Kokona (Phantom)
    I've written both a wedding hymn
    and a funeral's requiem!
[14:31] Kokona (Phantom)
    I can play either!
[14:34] Niizuma (Christine)
    Please stop...
[14:35] Kokona (Phantom)
    Will we all die together, or will you
    spend the rest of your life with me?
[14:40] Kokona (Phantom)
    The choice is yours!
[14:41] Niizuma (Christine)
    Stop!
[14:44] Niizuma (Christine)
    I would've chosen you
    even if you hadn't done all this.
[14:49] Kokona (Phantom)
    You're lying!
[14:50] Niizuma (Christine)
    I'm not!
[14:50] Kokona (Phantom)
    That can't be true!
[14:52] Kokona (Phantom)
    You ran away from me!
[14:54] Kokona (Phantom)
    You saw my face and fled!
[14:58] Niizuma (Christine)
    I was just startled at first.
[15:00] Niizuma (Christine)
    I'll never fear you again.
[15:08] Niizuma (Christine)
    Because you're the one who gave me music.
[15:13] Niizuma (Christine)
    You're my angel of music.
[15:17] Niizuma (Christine)
    And... you're not alone anymore.
[15:34] Kokona (Phantom)
    Why did you kiss me?
[15:38] Niizuma (Christine)
    Because I love you.
[15:47] Niizuma (Christine)
    Raoul! Are you all right?!
[15:49] Kathrina (Raoul)
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[15:52] Kathrina (Raoul)
    Christine, do you really...
[16:00] Niizuma (Christine)
    Everyone must be worried. Let's go.
[16:04] Niizuma (Christine)
    If you could work up the courage
    to take one step forward,
[16:07] Niizuma (Christine)
    I think the people would understand you.
[16:12] Kokona (Phantom)
    Christine... I have a request for you.
[16:17] Niizuma (Christine)
    What is it?
[16:20] Kokona (Phantom)
    Tonight, onstage, will you sing
    this song that I wrote?
[16:25] Kokona (Phantom)
    It's the song we used in our lessons.
[16:29] Niizuma (Christine)
    I'll ask if they'll let me sing it
     at the curtain call.
[16:34] Kokona (Phantom)
    Thank you.
[16:36] Kokona (Phantom)
    Viscount Raoul, take Christine back.
[16:39] Kokona (Phantom)
    I must defuse the bomb I set up.
[16:42] Kathrina (Raoul)
    All right, I will.
[16:48] Niizuma (Christine)
    Phantom!
[16:50] Kokona (Phantom)
    Erik... That's my real name.
[16:55] Niizuma (Christine)
    Erik...
[16:57] Niizuma (Christine)
    Erik, you'll come hear me sing, won't you?
[17:03] Kokona (Phantom)
    I wouldn't miss it.
[17:22] Kokona (Phantom)
    That's enough. I can't keep
    her tied down any longer.
[17:33] Kokona (Phantom)
    This is the first time in my life
    I've ever been glad that I was born.
[17:43] Kokona (Phantom)
    Thank you, Christine.
[17:45] Kokona (Phantom)
    I love you from the bottom of my heart.
[17:49] [SONG] Lyrics
    This music I just wrote is where my feelings
    go when they have nowhere else to go
[17:59] [SONG] Lyrics
    The faithful metronome continues
    to carve an unchanging rhythm
[18:08] [SONG] Lyrics
    Alone and unheard
[18:13] [SONG] Lyrics
    This lonely yet free melody...
[18:21] [SONG] Lyrics
    You're the only one who can give it flight...
[18:26] [SONG] Lyrics
    Can you hear it?
[18:28] [SONG] Lyrics
    Thank you, goodbye
[18:30] [SONG] Lyrics
    I give you this farewell
    song in parting, my beloved
[18:38] [SONG] Lyrics
    This single red rose continues to
    shine beautifully in my memories
[18:47] [SONG] Lyrics
    Happiness, sadness
[18:50] [SONG] Lyrics
    So that I never forget them,
    I change my body and soul into music
[18:57] [SONG] Lyrics
    These wavering days fall into the abyss,
     proving that I was alive
[19:05] [SONG] Lyrics
    Our eternity starts to play our end
[19:39] Chikage
    That was amazing. For a moment there,
    I forgot I was watching a play.
[19:45] Theresa
    We're probably not the only ones who forgot.
[19:48] Theresa
    I'm sure the performers did, too.
[19:50] Theresa
    You've gained a wonderful rival, Kathrina.
[19:57] Hatsumi
    My body is tingling?
[20:01] Hatsumi
    SIRIUS really...
[20:02] Koyomi
    My emotions are conflicted...
    I'm moved but also anxious.
[20:07] Iroha
    Phantom!
[20:09] Mito
    That was such a lovely performance!
[20:14] Shamo
    As long as there are actors,
    there will always be plays.
[20:18] Shamo
    As long as there are plays,
[20:20] Shamo
    Senses will continue to evolve
    and actors will shine bright.
[20:46] Shamo
    Wanting to see that light might be
    what brings people to the theater.
[20:55] Hiiragi
    They are truly radiant.
[20:57] Shamo
    You've only gotten started yourself, my dear.
[21:20] Niizuma
    You flatter me.
[21:21] Panda
    No, this is really amazing, Niizumacchi!
[21:24] Panda
    You actually got chosen as a Dai Star!
[21:27] Sasuga
    I want to sleep with it.
[21:29] Panda
    That might actually bring good luck!
[21:31] Panda
    Can we borrow it for a night?
[21:33] Niizuma
    Nope.
[21:36] Kathrina
    Why did Niizuma get it when Kokona's
    the one who played the Phantom?
[21:40] Niizuma
    During the play, I was able to channel
    Christine from the bottom of my heart.
[21:44] Panda
    Yeah, I get that.
[21:46] Panda
    We totally got carried away
    by Koko-chan's Sense.
[21:50] Sasuga
    Being in The Phantom of
    the Opera
felt real nice.
[21:58] Kathrina
    That's not what I meant.
[22:00] Panda
    Anyway, I mean,
    Koko-chan's already got quite a record.
[22:03] Panda
    You don't need to get upset on her behalf.
[22:07] Kathrina
    I-I-I'm not doing it for her!
[22:09] Kudo
    Girls!
[22:10] Hiiragi
    We've decided on our next production.
[22:12] Panda
    Will there be another audition?
[22:15] Hiiragi
    If you're overly disappointing,
    I'll fail all of you.
[22:18] Niizuma
    Then would you star instead, Hiiragi-san?
[22:21] Hiiragi
    Well, if you're all that disappointing...
[22:26] Panda
    Oh, come on. Surely you jest.
[22:29] Panda
    This time, I'm going to be the star!
[22:31] Sasuga
    I got myself some good luck.
[22:33] Panda
    Hey, that's no fair, Sassu!
[22:35] Panda
    Me too! Gimme some good luck!
[22:39] Niizuma
    I hope it brings you great fortune.
[22:41] Hiiragi
    Where are Kokona and Shizuka?
[22:49] Shizuka
    It's so nice and cool...
[22:52] Kokona
    Hey, won't we get in trouble for this?
[22:55] Shizuka
    Kathrina is always using the stage
    to rehearse, so we should be fine.
[23:00] Kokona
    You think so?
[23:02] Kokona
    I wonder what the next production will be.
[23:05] Shizuka
    Whatever it is, we'll be the stars.
[23:08] Kokona
    W-Wow, you're confident.
[23:10] Shizuka
    Well, we decided we'd take it.
[23:29] Kokona
    Yeah!
[23:31] Sign
    Become World Dai
     Stars together!!!!
[23:34] Sign
    Become World Dai Stars together!!!!
[23:36] Kokona and Shizuka
    The two of us together!
