    We got another request this year.

    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.

    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?!

[08:23] Panda
    Romeo and Juliet brings back
    a lot of memories for me,
[08:27] Panda
    so playing in it gives me
    a lot to think about.
[08:36] Kokona
    Sasuga-chan! I'll be Romeo's friend Benvolio.
     I look forward to acting alongside you.
[08:43] Sasuga
    Same.
[08:44] Shizuka
    I can't wait to see you two star in this play.
[08:47] Niizuma
    I'm excited to learn from your performance.
[08:50] Panda
    No way! You saying that is...
[08:54] Hiiragi
    Make sure you two show your
    younger peers what you've got.
[08:58] Panda

[08:59] Hiiragi

[09:33] Panda
    A grade school girl who goes
    to about 400 plays a year,
[09:36] Panda
    earning her the nickname
    "the Theater Professor."
[09:42] Sasuga
    She's why the boss really
    wanted to do King Lear.
[09:47] Shizuka
    Did something happen?
[09:48] Sasuga
    After last year's show...
[09:51] (Flashback) Chika
    I truly felt SIRIUS's soul in making
    a brave choice like King Lear so boldly.
[09:55] (Flashback) Chika
    But did you forget that your audience
    today was grade school students?
[09:59] (Flashback) Chika
    With that in mind, you should have chosen
    something to make SIRIUS shine.
[10:03] (Flashback) Chika
    As someone who's followed SIRIUS for years,
    I was disappointed with this King Lear.
[10:08] (Flashback) Chika
    To quickly sum up everything wrong
    with this performance in an hour...
[10:12] Kokona
    She gave notes to Hiiragi-san?!
[10:15] Shizuka
    What a terrifying grade schooler...
[10:17] Panda
    She told us off, too.
[10:19] Sasuga
    Yup, yup.
[10:20] Panda
    So, Koko-chan!
[10:22] Panda
    We absolutely cannot lose this battle!
[10:26] Kokona
    "Battle"?
[10:28] Panda
    Sassu! This time, we'll
    really knock her socks off!
[10:32] Sasuga
    I'd love to make her
    put a sock in it too.
[10:35] Panda
    We'll sock it to her, for sure!
[10:38] Hiiragi
    We'll start rehearsal in ten.
    Make sure you're ready!
[10:42] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[10:44] Niizuma
    Things seem to be taking shape.
[10:46] Shizuka
    They're so motivated...

    This is just the first rehearsal,
    but they're so in sync.
[11:13] Kathrina
    Not bad.
[11:17] Shizuka
    What's the matter?
[11:18] Niizuma
    I suddenly want to be up on stage.

    My life were better ended by
    their hate than death proroguèd,
[11:26] Sasuga (Romeo)
    wanting of thy love!
[11:28] Panda
    She's always so spacey, but she
    completely changes onstage.
[11:34] Panda
    I used to be so jealous of Sassu,
    who could do everything.
[11:44] Panda
    Sassu and I were childhood friends
    who lived near each other.
[11:48] Panda
    We were always together.

    Hello, Nanase-san.
[16:15] Chika
    Arabian Nights was fantastic!
[16:17] Chika
    Your performance was on par with the
    actors of SIRIUS's golden age.
[16:21] Niizuma
    Thank you very much.
[16:23] Chika
    I wasn't very interested in this
    production because you're not in it,
[16:26] Chika
    but I figured I could kill
     some time since I won a ticket.

    I hope this won't damage the renown
    you earned with Arabian Nights.

    It'll be fine. SIRIUS only delivers the best.

    Let's go, Panda.
[17:02] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Two households, both alike in dignity,
[17:04] Sasuga (Romeo)
    in fair Verona, where we lay our scene...
[17:07] Panda (Juliet)
    The Capulets and the Montagues.
[17:10] Kokona (Benvolio)
    From ancient grudge break to new mutiny...
[17:14] Kathrina (Father Laurence)
    where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
[17:18] Sasuga (Romeo)
    From forth the fatal loins
    of these two foes...
[17:22] Panda (Juliet)
    whose misadventured piteous overthrows...
[17:25] Sasuga (Romeo)
    doth with their death bury...
[17:28] Panda (Juliet)
    their parents' strife.
[17:35] Chika
    They're following the original play
    while adding a SIRIUS twist. Not bad.
[17:47] Sasuga (Romeo)
    O Juliet...
[17:50] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!
    For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
[17:55] Panda (Juliet)
    O Romeo, if you love me,
    tell me from your heart...
[18:04] Panda
    Crap!
[18:12] Chika
    And it was all going so well
    up until now. How disappointing.
[18:28] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Let us swear under the holy moon
[18:32] Sasuga (Romeo)
    the love from our hearts.
[18:35] Chika
    What?! That was part of the act?!
[18:38] Chika
    I've never seen such a beautiful
    proposal from Romeo!

    Chisa's Sense allows her to incorporate
    any mistake made onstage

    And Panda can control the stage
    by reading the audience's mind.

    When their two Senses
    work together perfectly,

    they take the crowd into
    the palm of their hand.

    Juliet! Juliet!

    My love, my wife... I won't leave you
    all alone in this tomb.

    The friar gave me medicine.
[20:16] PAnda (Juliet)
    Medicine to make it appear
    as if I were no longer alive.
[20:20] Panda (Juliet)
    For if I were dead, I would be free
    of my engagement to Count Paris.
[20:25] Panda (Juliet)
    We'd be free from our crimes.
    And I could live my life with you.
[20:30] Sasuga (Romeo)
    Thank you, Juliet.
[20:34] Sasuga (Romeo)
    This love of ours should be able to end
    the feud between our families.
[20:40] Panda (Juliet)
    Yes, Romeo.

[20:56] Chika
    This is the soul of SIRIUS!
[23:08] Panda
    Hey, Sassu.
[23:10] Sasuga
    Hmm?
[23:11] Panda
    Do you think we measured up
    to that other performance?
[23:16] Sasuga
    I dunno, but...
