[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.

[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.

[09:48] Kokona     Huh? [09:50] Kathrina     Frankly speaking,     you have no Sense whatsoever. [09:57] Sign     Stella of the Theater: [10:10] Shizuka     The heck is her problem? [10:12] Shizuka     She may be cute,      but she's got a rotten personality. [10:15] Shizuka     "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.     Why are you so calm about it? [10:31] Kokona     Well, I mean, it's true. [10:33] Kokona     My Sense... [10:39] [SONG] Sign      Noa Hiiragi [10:39] [SONG] Sign      SIRIUS VP [10:40] Hiiragi     Welcome to auditions for SIRIUS. [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. [11:18] Shizuka     You can do this, Kokona. [11:20] Shizuka     Believe in me. And yourself. [11:23] Kokona     Yeah... [11:35] Panda     I'm gonna get amazing pictures of my     future juniors at their audition! [11:35] [SONG] Sign      Panda Yanagiba [11:35] [SONG] Sign      SIRIUS Member [11:40] Panda     Hmm... This one's too pretty      and this one's too hot. [11:44] Panda     Reverse corrections. [11:46] Panda     Making sure their privacy is safe and... [11:49] Panda     Yup! I'm definitely the cutest. [11:52] [SONG] Sign      SIRIUS Member [11:52] [SONG] Sign      Chisa Sasuga [11:52] Sasuga     Acting's not about your face. [11:54] Panda     Shut up! [11:55] Panda     That just sounds like sarcasm coming      from a pretty girl like you, Sassu! [12:01] Panda     Also, what is that? [12:03] Sasuga     It's great when they loosen up. [12:05] Panda     The noodles? Or your nerves? [12:09] [SONG] Sign      SIRIUS Director [12:09] [SONG] Sign      Hana Kudo [12:10] Kudo     This is our fifth audition, but we still     haven't found our diamond in the rough. [12:16] Kudo     Kathrina Griebel,     Tobias and Theresa's daughter... [12:21] Kudo     I guess we're lucky to even have her here. [12:25] Kudo     I'm sure she's got it. [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. [12:47] Sign     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? [17:59] [SONG] Sign      SIRIUS Member [17:59] [SONG] Sign      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. [19:11] Panda     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... [19:58] (Flashback) Shizuka     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...

[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.

[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.

[08:20] Panda     People call me Panda-chan,     the cutest girl at SIRIUS. [08:26] Panda     Want to have a bath time party with me? [08:32] Panda     Yikes, what the heck did I walk into? [08:35] Sign     Bath [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     Thinking about them too hard     is just a waste of time. [09:17] Kokona     Ah, got it... [09:18] Sign     Panda [09:18] Sign     Chisa Sasuga [09:18] Sign     Kokona Otori [09:18] Panda     Now, why are things so insanely     tense with you and Kathrin? [09:23] Kokona     I'm not sure tense is the right word... [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. [09:36] Kokona     She said we're competing for roles. [09:40] Panda     I mean, she does have a point. [09:43] Sign     Panda [09:43] Sign     Chisa Sasuga [09:44] Panda     No matter how close you are,     if you're striving to become Dai Stars, [09:47] Panda     you're going to butt heads. [09:50] Panda     But that doesn't mean you     can't understand each other. [09:53] Panda     We're all actors, after all. [09:56] Kokona     I see. [09:58] Kokona     Okay! [10:00] Kokona     First, I'll make her acknowledge     me as an actor! [10:03] Kokona     To that end, I'll do my best     for the Kaguya audition!

[10:48] Panda     Niizumacchi said she'd     be camping for a while. [10:53] Kokona     Camping? [11:07] Sign     Stella of the Theater: [11:19] Sasuga Fan A     What's Chisa-san doing? [11:21] Sasuga Fan B     Don't disturb her! [11:23] Sasuga Fan B     I'm sure she's waiting for     her role to descend upon her. [11:29] Sasuga     Man, the sun is bright. [11:32] Sasuga Fan B     She speaks the truth! [11:34] Sasuga Fan A     Well said, Chisa-san! [11:35] Panda     Sassu, rehearsal is starting. [11:39] Panda     I told you to stop basking in front of people. [11:44] Kokona     I-I'm Kokona Otori! Thank you for     helping me out at the audition! [11:48] Kokona     I love you! I can't wait to work with you! [11:51] Shizuka     You should've kept some of that to yourself! [11:53] Shizuka     Also, what's with the hand?! [11:54] Kokona     Ah, that's not what I meant by love!     Yae-chan, er, I mean... [11:58] Kokona     Niizuma-san, your acting is just, uh... [12:00] Niizuma     You can call me Yae. [12:02] Niizuma     I'm sorry for not properly     introducing myself before now. [12:06] Niizuma     It's a pleasure to meet you. [12:09] Kokona and Shizuka     Yae-chan...

[12:38] Niizuma (Kaguya)     Misao-chan? [12:40] Panda (Misao)     Yes. [12:43] Sasuga (Old Man)     I thought you'd be more comfortable     with a girl close to your age. [12:50] Niizuma (Kaguya)     Misao-chan! [12:52] Panda (Misao)     Y-Yes? [12:56] Niizuma (Kaguya)     Misao-chan! [12:58] Panda (Misao)     C-Can I help you? [13:00] Niizuma (Kaguya)     Let's play! [13:01] Panda (Misao)     Huh? [13:02] Niizuma (Kaguya)     Come here! [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... [15:03] Sign     Princess Kaguya      Manju [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? [16:05] Sign     Princess Kaguya      Manju [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. [19:23] Sign     How to Beautifully Wear     and Move in a Kimono [19:24] Kathrina     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 [20:05] Hiiragi     is Kathrina's Sense. [20:18] Panda     Your enemy cleared     her hurdle with flying colors. [20:22] Panda     What are you gonna do, Koko-chan? [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     Kokona? [21:58] Panda     Ah, this is... [22:01] Panda     Niizumacchi's performance.

[03:48] Kokona     Yeah. [03:49] Shizuka     Actors who want to be Dai Stars     don't copy other actors' performances. [03:54] Shizuka     But at the same time, I'm not sure we     could have beat Kathrina with our plan. [03:59] Kokona     Yeah, Kathrina-chan's     performance was amazing! [04:02] Shizuka     What are you grinning for? [04:04] Kokona     I'm not. [04:06] Shizuka     Listen. [04:07] Shizuka     You have to shine brighter than     anyone to become a Dai Star.

[04:37] Hiiragi     Tell me exactly how you felt. [04:40] Kokona     U-Um... [04:43] Kokona     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. [04:52] Kokona     I thought she could've done     the play then and there. [04:56] Hiiragi     I see. [04:58] Hiiragi     But perfect performances     are surprisingly boring. [05:04] Hiiragi     The newcomer performance is drawing near. [05:08] Hiiragi     Starting tomorrow, you and Kathrina     will participate in rehearsals. [05:13] Kokona     Y-Yes, ma'am! I'll do my best!

You're always so     calm and full of confidence. [06:28] Kokona     You have so much that I don't. [06:31] Shizuka     Huh. You're pretty observant.

[07:12] Kokona     Figuring out who you are is pretty hard. [07:15] Shizuka     It is, but actors need to be able      to see themselves objectively. [07:21] Kokona     Objectively... [07:23] Shizuka     What kind of person do you     think Misao is, Kokona? [07:26] Kokona     She's Princess Kaguya's lady-in-waiting     and works hard to support her poor family... [07:31] Kokona     I think? [07:32] Shizuka     I'm asking about who she is on the inside. [07:36] Kokona     Um, she's serious, smart,     loves Princess Kaguya... [07:41] Kokona     And...

[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"!

[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!

[12:29] Shizuka     Who cares about her? [12:32] Kokona     But Princess Kaguya and Misao     are supposed to be like sisters [12:36] Kokona     who trust each other completely. [12:38] Shizuka     You may just have to tough     it out at this point. [12:42] Niizuma     The audience at SIRIUS     desires genuine performances [12:45] Niizuma     where the actors let their emotions collide. [12:48] Kokona and Shizuka     Yae-chan!

[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?

[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.

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.

[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! [05:25] Kathrina     You sure bounce back quick. [05:28] Sign     SIRIUS SENTO [05:31] Kokona     I wonder what I should make. [05:34] Kokona     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. [08:12] (Flashback) Hamlet (Kokona)     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. [10:08] (Flashback) Kokona     A World Dai Star... [10:16] Sign     Asakusa Hisago Street [10:16] Sign     Asakusa Hisago Shopping Street [10:18] Kokona     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. [11:53] Panda     On to the next outfit! [11:54] Shizuka     But why? [11:56] Sign     Stella of the Theater: [12:10] Kokona     And now, we're going to be making     the home-style German dish [12:13] Kokona     that Kathrina-chan recommended...

[12:23] Sign     Schnitzel          Lean pork     Block of bacon     Potatoes     Green beans     Cherry tomatoes     Lemon     Italian parsley     Panko [12:24] Kokona     It's basically German tonkatsu, right? [12:26] Kathrina     Well... Sort of. [12:29] Kathrina     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... [12:38] Kokona     Are you getting any veggies? [12:40] Kathrina     But of course. [12:42] Kathrina     Japanese vegetable juice is delicious. [12:42] Sign     27 Delicious Daily Veg [12:47] Kathrina     So... [12:49] Kathrina     How do we make it? [12:52] Kokona     Huh? [12:57] Kokona     Season the meat and then coat it with flour. [13:01] Kokona     Then quickly dip it in the egg... [13:08] Kokona     We're going to melt the butter first.      Otherwise, these'll burn. [13:12] Kathrina     So you're good at cooking? [13:14] Kokona     I wouldn't say that, but both     of my parents always worked late, [13:20] Kokona     so I was in charge of making dinner. [13:34] Kokona     Okay, all set. [13:36] Kokona     Could I ask you to handle the frying since     you've actually had these before? [13:41] Kathrina     Huh? [13:42] Kathrina     Huh?! [13:43] Kathrina     Huh?! [13:44] Kokona     I'll prepare the side dishes in the meantime. [13:47] Kathrina     S-Sure... [13:52] Kathrina     I mean... I've studied     how to play a chef before. [13:56] Kathrina     This is a stage. [14:00] Kathrina     I'm a chef. [14:02] Kathrina     I'm a chef. [14:04] Kathrina     I'm a chef. [14:06] Kathrina     I'm a chef.

[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.

[09:12] Sign     Arabian Nights [09:13] Panda     Scripts from past productions of Arabian     Nights our senpais at SIRIUS performed in. [09:18] Panda     They're from my secret SIRIUS collection! [09:20] Panda     Our senpais wrote in a whole bunch of notes. [09:23] Panda     I figured they might help     you understand your role. [09:26] Kokona     I can borrow these? [09:27] Panda     But of course! [09:28] Panda     Hiiragi-san chose you, and you said you     were going to see the role through. [09:32] Panda     So I've... made up my mind. [09:39] Panda     I'm sorry for being so rude earlier. [09:42] Kokona     Panda-chan... [09:45] Panda     Let's make this production a success. [09:53] Kokona     Thank you. I'll do my best. [09:59] Sign     I added you! [09:59] Sign     Okay. [09:59] Sign     Today [09:59] Sign     Hopping home     Wait right there [10:16] Shizuka     I see. [10:18] Shizuka     These notes suggest that everyone had     a hard time getting this role down. [10:22] Kokona     Yeah. [10:23] Kokona     A manly Aladdin, a timid     and unreliable Aladdin... [10:23] Sign     Even though you're surprised by Genie, make sure      you don't forget the excitement of something starting!! [10:25] Sign     Genie: Ah! [10:25] Sign     Aladdin [10:27] Sign     ...merchants...     ...don't look down.     They're so busy running their shops...     No one even sees me...     No one even knows my name...     The apple I stole from the merchant...     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. [10:44] Sign     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. [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [10:59] Sign     The Little Mermaid [11:00] Shizuka     Yae-chan's innocence. [11:02] Shizuka     That alone is enough to bring     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! [20:31] Sign     Arabian [20:34] Niizuma     The poster came out quite nicely. [20:37] Kokona     Yeah... [20:38] Niizuma     First, I'll become a Dai Star at SIRIUS. [20:41] Niizuma     Then, a World Dai Star. [20:43] Niizuma     And then, finally... [20:47] Kokona     Finally? [20:47] Sign     Arabian Nights [20:48] Niizuma     No, it's nothing. [20:51] Kokona     Is it really okay for me to play the lead? [20:54] Kokona     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     You're not going to sleep yet? [21:43] Panda     No, it's just... [21:44] Panda     Something still doesn't sit right with me. [21:47] Panda     Why was Koko-chan chosen for the lead role? [21:50] Panda     Oh... I get it now. [22:00] Panda     She's supposed to be... the foil.

[07:28] Panda     We've been selling out each show. [07:30] Panda     There's been nothing but     rave reviews from the audience. [07:33] 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?

[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!

[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.

[20:14] Shamo     She doesn't seem like that, does she? [20:17] Kokona     She doesn't. [20:18] Shamo     Noa's Sense allows her to see all of     an actor's skills and where they excel. [20:25] Shamo     Don't worry. [20:27] Shamo     She chose you two for that role because     she knew you could handle the lead. [20:32] Kokona     Us... two? [20:35] Shamo     Yes.

Thank you very much. [03:23] Hiiragi     You have so many press requests,     I hardly know what to do. [03:26] Yae     If possible, I'd like to do them     with Kokona-san. [03:29] Hiiragi     Now that theater is so mainstream, [03:31] Hiiragi     audience-goers are connoisseurs. [03:33] Hiiragi     It doesn't matter if you're the lead. [03:35] Hiiragi     If an actor has no presence, they vanish. [03:38] Yae     It's because Kokona-san is working so hard [03:41] Yae     that I'm able to play the     Genie the way I want. [03:44] Hiiragi     Is it guilt that's making you     worry so much about Kokona? [03:47] Yae     Huh? [03:49] Hiiragi     You had a hunch that this     would happen, didn't you? [03:54] Hiiragi     Not giving your all up on that stage [03:57] Hiiragi     isn't just rude to your costars.     It's rude to the audience. [04:01] Yae     You don't need to worry about that. [04:07] Shizuka     A kind Aladdin, a powerful     Aladdin, an anxious Aladdin... [04:17] Shizuka     I played various versions,     so which one felt right? [04:20] Kokona     You really are amazing, Shizuka-chan. [04:23] Kokona     If only I could act like that too! [04:26] Shizuka     You'll be the one on stage, remember? [04:30] Shizuka     Anyway, I guess you'll just have     to try various Aladdins for yourself. [04:34] Kokona     You mean I'll have     to change it up each time? [04:37] Shizuka     You'll be working to perfect the role. [04:40] Shizuka     I think that's the only way. [04:42] Shizuka     I'm not going to cause trouble     for everyone, am I? [04:51] Kokona     Please! [04:53] Kudo     I don't even know what to say to that... [04:58] Kathrina     Oh, I found her. [05:02] Panda     Weren't you going to rehearse with me? [05:05] Panda     Er... [05:06] Kathrina     What are you looking at? [05:07] Sasuga     Kokona just said something     really interesting. [05:12] Kokona     Please! [05:14] Shizuka     We promise it'll work out! [05:16] Kudo     If you change the way you play the role,     we have to change the direction, too. [05:19] Kudo     And wanting to do that      for every performance is... [05:23] Kathrina     The lead changing the role with each show? [05:26] Kathrina     I've never heard of anything like that. [05:28] Panda     It would also mean changing up      our interactions with her, right? [05:33] Panda     The other actors and staff won't      take kindly to grandstanding. [05:38] Kudo     Experimental acting during      a real show is unprofessional. [05:41] Kudo     Shouldn't you take care of that beforehand? [05:45] Kudo     The production's going pretty well so far. [05:49] Kudo     Just learn from this for next time. [05:51] Kudo     Isn't that enough? [05:53] Kokona     It's not! [05:55] Kokona     If I give up now, I don't think I'll     ever be able to take the stage again! [05:58] Shizuka     Please, let us do this. [06:01] Kokona     Please! [06:02] Panda     Talk about selfish. [06:04] Kathrina     My parents are both pretty nice,     but they fight a lot when it comes to acting. [06:11] Kathrina     Neither one ever backs down. [06:13] Kathrina     They've both told me [06:15] Kathrina     that World Dai Stars should     be just impertinent enough [06:20] Kathrina     to never relent until     they get what they want. [06:25] Yae     I'm fine with it. [06:28] Kudo     This'll put the most stress on you, Yae. [06:30] Kudo     And there's no guarantee it'll go well. [06:33] Yae     That's all right. [06:34] Yae     I'll figure things out. [06:37] Kokona     Yae-chan... [06:39] Kathrina     I'm fine with it too. [06:41] Kathrina     Not that I have that many     scenes with Aladdin. [06:44] Sasuga     I have a lot, but I'm cool with it. [06:47] Kudo     You are? [06:50] Sasuga     The Leila within me said, "Squee." [06:55] Panda     Leila doesn't say, "squee"! [06:57] Panda     Well, I'm fine with it too. [07:00] Kokona     Panda-chan! [07:01] Panda     It's totally illogical, unprofessional,     and a whole mess of trouble... [07:08] Panda     But hey, it sounds fun. [07:11] Panda     What do you say, Hiiragi-san? [07:18] Hiiragi     Very well. [07:21] Hiiragi     But you only get to change up     your performance once. [07:24] Hiiragi     Any more would be too much     of a burden for everyone else. [07:27] Hiiragi     If you need to get the role down,     do it tonight. [07:30] Kudo     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. [07:39] Shizuka     Huh? [07:40] Kokona     Thank you very much! [07:51] Hiiragi     We'll hold a meeting tomorrow morning. [07:53] Hiiragi     Then we'll do a light dress rehearsal     just prior to showtime. [07:57] Hiiragi     Inform the other staffers. [07:59] Kudo     Understood. [08:01] Hiiragi     This won't be easy,     but I'm counting on all of you. [08:05] Kokona and Shizuka     Thank you! [08:07] Kudo     Do your best. [08:08] Kokona     I will! [08:14] Hiiragi     Come with me. [08:15] Kokona     Uh, okay! [08:17] Sasuga     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?

[09:47] (Flashback) Hiiragi     After this performance,     I'll step down from the stage. [09:50] (Flashback) Hiiragi     From now on, please let me support     SIRIUS from behind the scenes. [09:54] (Flashback) Shamo     But you're still young     and have a great Sense. [09:58] (Flashback) Shamo     You have offers from various     other troupes, too, don't you? [10:02] (Flashback) Shamo     If you transfer, I'm sure you'll find     your path to becoming a World Dai Star. [10:06] (Flashback) Hiiragi     It was SIRIUS that shepherded me     down the path to acting. [10:11] (Flashback) Hiiragi     Until SIRIUS produces a World Dai Star, [10:14] (Flashback) Hiiragi     I have no plans to take the stage again. [10:23] Yae     I want to become a World Dai     Star as soon as possible. [10:29] Sign     Stella of the Theater: [10:37] Hiiragi     The changed marks, lighting,     music cues, and direction...

[10:49] Kudo     Well, we'll need to make some minor     adjustments, but this should be fine. [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     rehearsing until you can't anymore, [11:03] Hiiragi     to increase the precision of your Sense. [11:05] Kokona and Shizuka     Yes, ma'am! [11:07] Sign     Arabian Nights [11:07] Sign     Sold Out Thank You [11:07] Audience     That person totally cut in line! [11:10] Audience     I'm so glad I made it in time! [11:12] Audience     We get to see Yae-chan, right? [11:16] Audience     I can't wait! [11:24] Shizuka     The curtain's rising, Kokona. [11:26] Kokona     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. [12:23] [SONG] Song     Make your dreams come true [12:31] [SONG] Song     Leggo!

[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! [15:53] [SONG] Song     Gather the moments where the highlights burst [15:59] [SONG] Song     Surprise into when there was magic! [16:07] [SONG] Song     (So just special for you) [16:10] [SONG] Song     With everything just how you like it [16:13] [SONG] Song     A place where wishes came true,     that's the world we were in [16:18] [SONG] Song     (Dream like this come true,     dream like that come true) [16:22] [SONG] Song     (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 [16:30] [SONG] ---     (When I was little, the world was mysterious) [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. [19:19] Audience A     Yae-chan's Genie was just like     I heard. She was super cute! [19:20] Sign     Merchandise Area [19:24] Audience B     Right? I think it was     even better than before. [19:26] Audience B     Especially that last scene     with Aladdin and the Genie! [19:29] Audience C (little girl)     Um! I'd like a picture of Aladdin...     Of Kokona Otori-chan, please! [19:34] Sign     T-shirts 2,500 yen [19:34] Staff     Here you go. Thank you very much. [19:37] Audience E     Was her name Kokona Otori?     I heard she's new, but she's pretty good. [19:48] Yae     I guess I was destroying the performances. [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. [20:45] Kokona     Yes, ma'am! [20:47] Yae     Kokona-san. [20:48] Kokona     Yes?! [20:49] Yae     Thank you very much for helping me. [20:52] Kokona     Huh? [20:53] Yae     Tonight's performance was wonderful. [20:56] Yae     I'm looking forward to tomorrow's     show as well, Kokona-san. [21:02] Kokona     Yeah! [21:06] Kokona     Whoa, Dugong-chan?! [21:09] Koknoa     Wh-Wh-What? What?! [21:12] Yae     It appears as though Dugong-san     enjoyed the performance, too. [21:15] Kokona     Is that what this means? [21:29] Kathrina     Hey! Now the fireworks have started! [21:32] Panda     Come on! You know that     was too awkward to butt in! [21:35] Panda     This is what people mean when     they say you need to read the room! [21:38] Kokona     You were watching?! [21:39] Sasuga     Festival time, festival time! [21:41] Yae     Oh, I love festivals. [21:44] Panda     Festival time! Festival time! Festival time! [21:45] Kokona     Fireworks!

[00:08] Sign     SIRIUS Acting Troupe [00:08] Kudo     We got another request this year. [00:11] ---     Hozuki Ichi [00:13] Hiiragi     The special theatrical showcase? [00:16] Hiiragi     I guess it is that time already. [00:18] Hiiragi     We're definitely... [00:20] Hiiragi     getting our revenge this year. [00:35] Sign     Stella of the Theater: [01:53] Sign     Romeo and Juliet [01:58] Shizuka     An article about Arabian Nights? [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! [02:43] Panda     When you think of summer... [02:48] Panda     This is the stuff. [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?!

[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     And we'll be holding auditions     for the role of the Phantom.

[00:13] Kamiyashiki     I can't do it. There's no way      I can play that role. [00:16] Hiiragi     Anyone who wants to try for the Phantom— [00:18] Panda     Hiiragi-san! [00:20] Panda     I want to audition! [00:24] Panda     The Phantom of the Opera is one of     SIRIUS's trademark productions. [00:29] Panda**     I can't pass up on an opportunity like this! [00:32] Sasuga     If Panda's in, so am I. [00:35] Kathrina     Naturally, I'll be auditioning too. [00:37] Group     What? No way... [00:40] Group     I can't believe it. [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     I absolutely... [01:00] Kathrina     ...will not lose. [01:03] Hiiragi     Anyone else? [01:12] Hiiragi     I guess that's our pool— [01:14] Kokona     Please wait!

[03:23] Shizuka     We're going to be really busy. [03:25] Kokona     Yeah! [03:26] Kathrina     Do you have a minute? [03:28] Kathrina     I want to talk to you about something. [03:30] Kathrina     Just the two of us, Kokona. [03:32] Kokona     Huh? [03:33] Shizuka     Don't worry about me.     I'll review the script in the meantime. [03:38] Kokona     Okay. [03:39] Kokona     I'll see you in a bit, then. [03:39] Sign     The Phantom of the Opera [03:42] Sign     The Phantom of the Opera [03:46] Sign     The Phantom of the Opera [03:55] Kokona     What did you want to     talk about, Kathrina-chan? [03:58] Kathrina     Kokona. How do you see me? [04:02] Kokona     Huh? How do I see you? [04:06] Kokona     I think you look cute. It really suits you. [04:08] Kokona     Your rehearsal outfit, I mean. [04:10] Kathrina     I'm not talking about fashion! [04:12] Kathrina     I'm asking about my acting. [04:13] Kokona     Your acting? [04:16] Kathrina     I'll just say it. [04:18] Kathrina     I'm envious of you, Kokona. [04:22] Kokona     Huh? [04:23] Kathrina     You just keep growing. [04:26] Kathrina     It's blinding to look at. [04:28] Kathrina     I don't want to lose to you. [04:30] Kathrina     I can't. [04:32] Kokona     Kathrina-chan... [04:35] Kathina     Let's have a fair match. [04:37] Kathina     Let's see who can take the role     of the Phantom... as rivals. [04:47] Kokona     Okay. I won't lose. [05:04] Shizuka     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     Shizuka-chan?

[00:18] Kokona     But should we really be here?     The audition is tomorrow... [00:23] Shizuka     This is necessary, though. [00:25] Kokona     Huh? [00:27] Shizuka     Do you remember when you first said you     wanted to become a World Dai Star? [00:33] Kokona     Um... [00:35] Kokona     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.

[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! [20:08] (Flashback) Young Kokona     Then someday... [20:10] (Flashback) Young Kokona     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... [20:43] Shamo     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... [21:15] Kokona     Please help me out, everyone!     I need your help! [21:23] Panda     The hell?! [21:28] Panda     You got nothing to worry about!     We're your friends, after all. [21:33] Sasuga     The only thing that should     be dense is French baguettes. [21:36] Niizuma     We'll rehearse with you lots! [21:40] Kokona     Everyone... [21:42] Kathrina     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. [21:59] Kathrina     No, really! What does that even mean?! [23:35] Sign     Twelfth Stage [23:35] Sign     The Two of Us Together [23:35] Kokona     The final episode: "The Two of Us Together."

[00:13] Sign     The Phantom of the Opera [00:14] Niizuma     The show will start once     dress rehearsals are over. [00:16] Panda     It's finally upon us. [00:18] Sasuga     The big performance. [00:22] Kokona     Shizuka-chan... [00:26] Kathrina     Have more confidence in yourself. [00:28] Kathrina     You beat all of us to     become the Phantom, Kokona. [00:31] Panda     And you've rehearsed like crazy. [00:33] Niizuma     Even the Phantom     isn't that harsh on Christine. [00:37] Kathrina     I stopped counting after     the tenth time you said, [00:40] Kathrina     "Sorry. Can we do that one more time?" [00:42] Sasuga     It was 23 times. [00:46] Kathrina     Let's show the Shizuka that's inside of you [00:50] Kathrina     what a waste it'd be to miss     out on a production like this. [00:54] Kokona     Kathrina-chan... [00:58] Kokona     Yeah! [01:02] Sign     The Two of Us Together [01:08] Kokona's Mom     Isn't this exciting, dear? [01:09] Kokona's Dad     Yes. [01:10] Koyomi     SIRIUS's The Phantom of the Opera*... [01:13] Koyomi     The last time I saw this was when*     Noa Hiiragi was starring. [01:17] Iroha     I'm excited to see     what the Phantom will be like. [01:20] Mito     Yeah, yeah! I'm getting excited, too. [01:24] Hatsumi     The star is that rather dry Aladdin... [01:26] Hatsumi     I hope you're able to     quench my thirst today. [01:30] Sign     The Phantom of the Opera [01:35] Chikage     Huh?! Y-Y-You're— [01:37] Theresa     Shh. [01:38] Theresa     I haven't told my daughter I'm here. [01:46] Shamo     How is our confidence level? [01:48] Hiiragi     We won't know until the curtain rises. [01:52] Shamo     It's rare to hear you sound so unsure. [01:56] Hiiragi     I can't get Kokona's     performance out of my head. [02:00] Hiiragi     A Phantom of mixed yearning and hatred. [02:05] Hiiragi     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 [02:27] Hiiragi     the Phantom that Kokona would play. [02:30] Hiiragi     Even if it means she loses her Sense. [02:36] Shamo     Senses represent possibility. [02:41] Shamo     The ability to make dreams come true. [02:44] Shamo     They're incredible, blinding powers. [02:53] Shamo     Let us believe in those girls' brilliance. [03:08] Sasuga (Sorelli)     Nineteenth century Paris. [03:10] Sasuga (Sorelli)     Strange rumors are afoot     about the opera house. [03:15] Sasuga (Sorelli)     Rumors... of the Phantom. [03:20] Sasuga (Sorelli)     Everyone at the opera house knows of him, [03:23] Sasuga (Sorelli)     but no one has ever actually seen him. [03:29] Sasuga (Sorelli)     Now, listen carefully. [03:37] Sasuga (Sorelli)     Don't you hear it? [03:39] Sasuga (Sorelli)     The sad but beautiful song of the Phantom. [03:47] Panda (Carlotta)     Christine! Christine! [03:50] Niizuma (Christine)     Y-Yes, ma'am! [03:52] Panda (Carlotta)     I'll be counting on you     for tonight's concert as well. [03:55] Niizuma (Christine)     U-Um, is it really okay for me to do it? [03:57] Panda (Carlotta)     I'm only asking because it's you. [04:00] Panda (Carlotta)     You're the only one worthy     of being my "ghost." [04:04] Niizuma (Christine)     Of course! I'll sing from     the bottom of my heart! [04:06] Panda (Carlotta)     Now go and hide behind the curtain. [04:13] Terahara (Moncharmin)     Carlotta. [04:15] Panda (Carlotta)     She's a terrible actress,     but she's quite the songstress. [04:20] Panda (Carlotta)     I'll be making good use of her for a while. [04:24] Panda (Carlotta)     Now, everyone! [04:26] Panda (Carlotta)     Tonight's concert will have distinguished     guests from the government in attendance. [04:30] Panda (Carlotta)     Let's make it a night to remember! [04:44] [SONG] Lyrics     Dust dances around on this old stage [04:54] [SONG] Lyrics     Her crushed toes make the floors creak [05:03] Panda     This is the only time I'll be your foil.

[05:13] (Flashback) Sasuga     Shizuka mentioned to me before [05:16] (Flashback) Sasuga     that she shouldn't have gone up     on stage like she did [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.

[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...

[08:43] [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!
