[00:14] Kokona
    I wonder what it's doing.
[00:16] Kathrina
    Who knows?
[00:21] Shizuka
    Isn't that the spot you cleaned, Kathrina?
[00:23] Kathrina
    Huh?
[00:24] Kokona
    Wait...
[00:29] Kathrina
    Wha— Is it telling me to redo it?!
[00:31] Kathrina
    How dare you, you little rodent!
[00:34] Panda
    You'd better do what Dugong says.
[00:37] Panda
    Dugong is famous for having a certain jinx.
[00:40] Kathrina
    A jinx?
[00:43] Sasuga
    Any actor that Dugong takes
    a liking to becomes a Dai Star.
[00:53] Kokona
    Dugong-chan!
[00:55] Kokona
    You're so smart!
[00:57] Shizuka
    Come right on over to... Kokona's lap!
[00:59] Shizuka
    Come on!
[01:00] Kathrina
    Can you be any more obvious?
[01:06] Yae
    Good day, everyone!
[01:14] Yae
    Hello, Dugong-san. You're
    still as cute as ever.
[01:21] Panda
    Well played, lead runner in the race
    to become the next SIRIUS Dai Star.
[01:24] Panda
    Dugong's completely under her spell.
[01:26] Kokona
    Oh, Yae-chan!
[01:28] Shizuka
    She's as beautiful as a painting!
[01:30] Katrina
    It's just some rodent. Just you watch.
[01:39] Kathrina
    Shake.
[01:46] Panda
    You poor fool, Kathrin.
[01:48] Panda
    Say goodbye to your dreams
    of becoming a Dai Star.
[01:52] Hiiragi
    I need you all at the rehearsal hall, now.
[01:55] Hiiragi
    We've decided the cast
    for our next production.
[01:59] Kokona
    Our next production?
[02:01] Sign
    Arabian Nights
[02:01] Hiiragi
    We'll be doing...
[02:02] Sign
    Arabian Nights
[02:02] Hiiragi
    "Arabian Nights."
[02:18] Sign
    Stella of the Theater:
[03:36] Sign
    A Wish
[03:37] Shizuka
    Our story takes place in a desert city
    in the Middle Ages.
[03:41] Shizuka
    We will be focusing on one of the most
    prominent stories from Arabian Nights...
[03:46] Shizuka
    "Aladdin and the Enchanted Lamp."
[03:52] Shizuka
    That's a pretty flashy piece.
[03:53] Kathrina
    She said they've decided the cast already.
    Are they not doing auditions?
[03:57] Terahara
    At SIRIUS, the sponsor and
    director decide on the cast.
[04:01] Kamiyashiki
    Hiiragi-san used to always play the
    lead. Now, it's usually Yae.
[04:06] Terahara
    Ever since Hiiragi-san retired, people say
    that SIRIUS is a troupe without a Dai Star.
[04:11] Kamiyashiki
    SIRIUS's current objective
    is to make Yae a Dai Star.
[04:15] Kathrina
    Then what was the point in auditioning?
[04:18] Terahara
    If you feel overlooked,
    prove you're better than her.
[04:21] Terahara
    That's what we're all trying to do.
[04:23] Kamiyashiki
    Our primary goal right now is to have
    people talking about SIRIUS way more
[04:27] Kamiyashiki
    than when Hiiragi-san was in it.
[04:28] Terahara
    Yae-chan has the Sense and
    popularity to do just that.
[04:32] Kokona
    Why did Hiiragi-san retire?
[04:35] Terahara
    Haven't you heard, Kokona-chan?
[04:37] Terahara
    You can only be on stage with
    SIRIUS until you're 23.
[04:41] Kokona
    What? Really?!
[04:43] Kamiyashiki
    That's what Shamo-san decided.
[04:44] Kamiyashiki
    She said it's not good to be
    stuck in one place for too long.
[04:47] Kokona
    What should I do, Shizuka-chan?!
[04:49] Kokona
    I only have seven years left!
[04:51] Shizuka
    Well, bring it.
[04:53] Shizuka
    Let's make you a World Dai Star by then.
[04:56] Kokona
    What?!
[04:58] Hiiragi
    Pipe down over there.
[04:59] Kokona and Shizuka
    Sorry!

    I'll now announce the cast.
[05:11] Sign
    Role Name
[05:11] Sign
    Aladdin
[05:11] Sign
    Genie of the Lamp
[05:12] Panda
    Niizumacchi will probably play
    the lead role of Aladdin.
[05:15] Panda
    But...
[05:16] Sign
    Aladdin
[05:16] Sign
    Genie of the Lamp
[05:16] Sign
    Princess Leila
[05:17] Panda
    The role of the Genie is
    basically just as important.
[05:21] Panda
    If I were able to get that role, I
    could bring out the best in Niizumacchi
[05:24] Panda
    while still showing off my own charm.
[05:26] Sign
    Aladdin
[05:26] Sign
    Genie of the Lamp
[05:26] Sign
    Princess Leila
[05:26] Kathrina
    What the Genie's actor needs
    is control on the stage.
[05:31] Kathrina
    It appears I'll have my
    second chance already.
[05:34] Kathrina
    I'll overshadow the lead.
[05:37] Shizuka
    Give Kokona a role where she'll stand out,
    give Kokona a role where she'll stand out,
[05:40] Shizuka
    give Kokona a role
    where she'll stand out!

    I'm gonna have to learn magic.

[05:49] Hiiragi
    The lead role of Aladdin
[05:52] Hiiragi
    will go to Kokona Otori.
[05:53] Kokona
    Huh?
[05:55] Hiiragi
    Next, the Genie of the Lamp...
[05:58] Hiiragi
    Yae Niizuma.
[06:01] Niizuma
    Yes, ma'am!
[06:02] Troupe
    Really?
[06:03] Troupe
    A newbie is playing the lead?
[06:05] Troupe
    Yae's playing the Genie?
    That doesn't seem to fit at all.
[06:08] Hiiragi
    The Royal Princess, Leila...
[06:10] Hiiragi
    Chisa Sasuga.
[06:11] Sasuga
    But I wanted to use magic.
[06:14] Hiiragi
    The Sultan...
[06:16] Hiiragi
    Kathrina Griebel.
[06:17] Kathrina
    What? The Sultan?!
[06:19] Hiiragi
    Your answer?
[06:19] Kathrina
    Y-Yes, ma'am.
[06:22] Hiiragi
    Aladdin's nemesis, Abdullah...
[06:24] Hiiragi
    Panda Yanagiba.
[06:25] Panda
    P-Please wait a second!
[06:27] Hiiragi
    What?
[06:28] Panda
    Niizumacchi's playing the Genie?
    I mean, that's one thing, but...
[06:31] Panda
    A newbie's playing Aladdin?
[06:33] Panda
    That's inconceivable!
[06:38] Hiiragi
    This was decided after careful discussion.
[06:42] Panda
    But...
[06:55] Kokona
    I-I'll do it.
[06:57] Kokona
    I'll make sure this play is a success!
[07:00] Kokona
    Please let me do the part!
[07:02] Niizuma
    I'll do my best, as well.
[07:12] Panda
    All right.

    This is your big break, Kokona!
[07:27] Kokona
    Y-Yeah. I need to do my best...
[07:30] Kokona
    So that Panda-chan and the
    others acknowledge me.
[07:32] Kokona
    And the audience...
[07:33] Shizuka
    And for yourself! You're one step
    closer to becoming a Dai Star!
[07:39] Kokona
    Yeah...
[07:43] Hiiragi
    May I have a moment?
[07:44] Kokona
    Uh, yes!

[07:49] Hiiragi
    From now until the production is over,
     you'll be following that regimen.
[07:54] Hiiragi
    You need to get the fundamentals of
    stage acting down once and for all.
[07:58] Kokona
    The fundamentals of stage acting?
[08:00] Hiiragi
    You understand, don't you?
[08:02] Hiiragi
    Right now, you don't have
    the stamina or talent
[08:04] Hiiragi
    to be up on stage for 90 minutes
     in the lead role.
[08:09] Shizuka
    Then why did you pick Kokona
    for the lead role?!
[08:13] Hiiragi
    For SIRIUS.
[08:19] Hiiragi
    No part-time jobs
    until after the final show.
[08:22] Hiiragi
    SIRIUS will make sure you're
    taken care of in the meantime.
[08:25] Hiiragi
    Glance through that regimen by tomorrow.
[08:29] Shizuka
    What does she mean that it's for SIRIUS?

    Okay.

    Today
[08:44] Sign

[08:46] Sign
    Hopping home
[08:46] Sign
    Wait right there
[08:48] Shizuka
    What's that?
[08:49] Kokona
    This definitely doesn't seem
    like it's from Kathrina-chan.
[08:56] Panda
    Good evening.
[09:01] Kokona
    Um...
[09:05] Panda
    Oh, come on. You don't need to be so scared.
[09:09] Panda
    Here.
[09:11] Kokona
    Th-These are...
[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.

    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.
