    It's so muggy here in Japan.

[02:06] Sasuga
    Okay, I'll be back this evening.
[02:09] Panda
    Don't drown.
[02:11] Sasuga
    I've played a fish before,
    so I'll be totally fine.
[02:15] Shizuka
    I'm not sure what to make of that...
[02:20] Kokona
    So Sasuga-chan's into surfing?
[02:22] Panda
    That girl honestly does everything.
[02:25] Panda
    She'll come back from a random walk saying,
[02:28] Panda
    "A stranger taught me how
    to do this thing." Like that.
[02:33] Panda
    The other day, it was pottery,
    and before that, it was amateur radio.

    Sasuga

    Niizuma
[02:37] Panda
    Currently, she's hooked on researching
    morning glories and surfing.
[02:42] Shizuka
    I wonder if this is how she
    prepares for her roles.
[02:43] Sasuga
    How'd ya like that?
[02:51] Shizuka
    You seem tired.
[02:52] Kokona
    Did you stay up all night again?
[02:55] Panda
    It's summer vacay time for school,
[02:58] Panda
    and SIRIUS is on break until we
    start prepping for the fall show.
[03:05] Panda
    All righty! Another day of checking
    out the chatter about us on the net!
[03:08] Panda
    Gotta make sure none
    of those anti-fans get popular!
[03:16] Shizuka
    I've been thinking about this for a while,
     but Panda's kinda dangerous.
[03:25] Kokona
    Hiiragi-san? Good morn...
[03:30] Kokona and Shizuka
    What?!
[03:32] Hiiragi
    W-Water...
[03:36] Kokona and Shizuka
    What?!
[03:44] Hiiragi
    I feel alive again. Thanks.
[03:46] Kokona
    Um... What happened?
[03:49] Hiiragi
    It was the strangest thing.
[03:51] Hiiragi
    Those bottles hold a clear liquid, like water,

    yet no matter how much I drink,
    I remain thirsty.
[03:57] Hiiragi
    It just doesn't make sense.
[03:59] Kokona
    Ah, so you drank too much.
[04:02] Shizuka
    Now that you mention it,
    she does reek of alcohol.
[04:04] Shizuka
    Kokona, let's get some air in here!
[04:06] Kokona
    Right!
[04:11] Hiiragi
    I heard that you've been visiting
    various troupes these past few days.
[04:16] Kokona
    I have! I've been visiting an improv
    troupe with Kathrina-chan
[04:19] Kokona
    where we can participate on the fly.
[04:22] Kokona
    We're actually going again today.
[04:25] Hiiragi
    That sounds fun.
[04:27] Kokona
    It is!
[04:28] Kokona
    Ever since Arabian Knights,
    I've fallen even more in love with acting!
[04:32] Kokona
    It's just so much fun!
[04:35] Niizuma
    Must be nice...
[04:38] Niizuma
    If I didn't have summer vacation
    homework, I could've joined you...
[04:42] Kokona
    Yae-chan?!
[04:44] Hiiragi
    What homework do you have today?
[04:45] Niizuma
    It's calligraphy, so I came by
    to have Shamo-san teach me.
[04:49] Niizuma
    Tomorrow, I have sewing for home ec.
    The day after that, I have kanji drills...
[04:55] Shizuka
    I guess grade-schoolers
    have their own troubles.
[05:04] Kokona
    Kathrina-chan! We should get going.
[05:07] Kathrina
    No way!
[05:08] Kokona
    What's up, Kathrina-chan?
[05:10] Shizuka
    Is something the matter?
[05:12] Kathrina
    M-My mama just said... she's in Asakusa.
[05:18] Kokona
    Mama?
[05:19] Shizuka
    Your mama?
[05:20] Shizuka
    Y-You don't mean...
[05:23] Randos
    Theresa Griebel is seriously here?!
[05:25] Randos
    What's a World Dai Star doing in Asakusa?!
[05:31] Kathrina
    Mama!
[05:33] Theresa
    Kathrina!
SIGN    It's been so long. I've missed you!
SIGN    Me too, Mama.
[05:46] Kokona
    S-So bright!
[05:47] Shizuka
    That's a World Dai Star for you!
     Her aura's on another level!
[05:51] Kathrina
    It's just backlighting, you dummies.
[05:53] Theresa
    Oh, my!
[05:54] Theresa
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
    I'm Theresa, Kathrina's mother.
[05:59] Theresa
    You must be Kokona and Shizuka.
[06:01] Theresa
    Kathrina's told me all about you.
[06:02] Kokona
    Th-That's us.
[06:04] Shizuka
    It's nice to meet you.
[06:05] Theresa
    Wow!
[06:06] Shizuka
    Huh?!
[06:07] Theresa
    You can touch her and she can talk...
     Is she really a Sense?
[06:11] Shizuka
    U-Um...
[06:20] Kathrina
    Mama?!
[06:21] Kokona
    Theresa-san?!
[06:23] Theresa
    Oh, I'm sorry. I was just so curious.
[06:27] Theresa
    What a curious Sense.
    Will wonders never cease?
[06:36] Kokona
    Dugong-chan?
[06:38] Theresa
    Who's this little one?
[06:39] Kokona
    Um... sort of a pet that belongs to SIRIUS.
    Maybe more like a mascot.
[06:44] Kokona
    Meet Dugong-chan.
[06:48] Kokona
    Dugong-chan tagged along when we
    said we'd be meeting you.
[06:52] Kathrina
    Be careful. That rodent bites.
[06:55] Theresa
    I see...
[07:09] Theresa
    I guess the little critter likes me!
[07:11] Shizuka
    Totally wrapped around your finger...
[07:13] Kathrina
    You little rodent...
[07:16] Kokona
    World class...
[07:19] Kathrina
    So, why did you suddenly come to Japan?
     You're pretty busy, Mama.
[07:24] Theresa
    Well, I got some free time
    and wanted to see my daughter.
[07:29] Kathrina
    Is that the only reason?
[07:31] Theresa
    Yes. Though sadly, I have
    to leave tomorrow morning.
[07:35] Kathrina
    Huh?
[07:36] Theresa
    Oh, I know!
[07:38] Theresa
    Do you girls know a lot about Asakusa?
[07:41] Kokona
    Oh, yeah.
[07:42] Theresa
    Then could you show me around?
[07:44] Theresa
    It'd be a waste to come all the way to Japan
    and not do anything touristy.
[07:48] Shizuka
    Right now?!
[07:49] Theresa
    So with that settled, let's go!
[07:53] Kathrina
    I see you're as pushy as ever.
[08:06] Sign
    Kaminarimon
[08:06] Theresa
    Okay, smile!
[08:11] Kokona
    Why are we wearing yukatas?
[08:12] Theresa
    Because we look cute in them.
[08:15] Shizuka
    People are really staring...
[08:18] Kathrina
    Well, there's a World Dai Star here.
    What do you expect?
[08:21] Theresa
    Come now! There's no time to waste relaxing.
[08:25] Theresa
    Where are we going next?
[08:27] Kokona
    Well, if you want the
    real Asakusa experience...
[08:30] Kokona
    This!
SIGN    How traditional!
[08:39] Theresa
    Goemon!
[08:42] Fan
    Theresa-san! Can I get a picture, please?
[08:45] Theresa
    Oh, sure!
[08:47] SP
    Was?
[08:48] Theresa
    As long as you don't mind these
    future Dai Stars joining me!
[09:00] Kokona
    There we go.

    They're doing touristy things in Asakusa?
[09:49] Hiiragi
    Yes.
[09:50] Hiiragi
    I imagine Theresa-san is dragging
    Kokona and Shizuka around too.
[09:53] Panda
    Oh, it's for real.
[09:55] Panda
    It's trending all over social media.
    "A World Dai Star appears!"
[10:00] Sign
    World Dai Star
    -Yae Niizuma
[10:00] Niizuma
    I wish I could've met Theresa-san, too.
[10:04] Hiiragi
    She contacted us saying that she
    wanted a tour of SIRIUS,
[10:07] Hiiragi
    so you can meet her later.
[10:08] Niizuma
    Then let's head to SIRIUS immediately!
[10:11] Shamo
    You need to do your homework first.
[10:14] Niizuma
    Okay...
[10:15] Panda
    I need to concentrate on my work, too.
[10:19] Panda
    "SIRIUS girls enjoying their day off!"
[10:22] Panda
    Take that, antis! Behold my cuteness!
[10:27] Sign
    Got us some dinner
[10:28] Panda
    "Got us some dinner"?
[10:31] Panda
    The heck happened to surfing?
[10:34] Sign
    Stella of the Theater:
[10:40] Theresa
    That was so much fun!
[10:42] Theresa
    Thank you, Kokona and Shizuka.
[10:45] Kokona
    No problem...
[10:46] Shizuka
    Theresa-san, you didn't sweat at all...
    in spite of the heat.
[10:51] Kathrina
    World Dai Stars don't sweat.
    That's what my mama told me.
[10:56] Shizuka
    She's definitely lying to you about that.
[10:59] Kokona
    But she's so beautiful that
    I'd actually believe it!
[11:05] Kathrina
    Yeah.
[11:14] Kathrina
    I thought I'd be just like her immediately...
[11:20] Kokona
    Kathrina-chan?
[11:21] Kathrina
    N-Never mind!
[11:28] Hiiragi
    We've been waiting for you, Theresa-san.
[11:31] Hiiragi
    I'm Noa Hiiragi. It's an honor to meet you.
[11:34] Theresa
    Thank you for looking after my daughter.
[11:38] Theresa
    Our troupe extended an invitation to you,
     but I guess you turned us down.
[11:43] Theresa
    I'm sad I can't perform with you.
[11:46] Hiiragi
    I didn't think I was ready for it yet.
[11:51] Theresa
    I see.
[11:53] Theresa
    Is Shamo here?
[11:54] Hiiragi
    She's inside.
[12:01] Theresa
    Shamo!
[12:03] Theresa
    Shamo! Shamo! Shamo! Shamo! Shamo!
[12:06] Shamo
    It's been ages, Theresa.
[12:08] Theresa
    I missed you so much!
[12:10] Shamo
    I've missed you too. How long has it been?
[12:14] Theresa
    Since before I married Tobias, so...
[12:17] Theresa
    Since we costarred in A Midsummer
    Night's Dream
in Paris!
[12:20] Theresa
    I played Puck and you played Titania!
[12:23] Shamo
    What lovely memories.
[12:26] Shamo
    I clearly remember you throwing a fit
    because you wanted to be Titania.
[12:31] Theresa
    I could play the role beautifully now,
[12:33] Theresa
    but I still can't live up to your Titania.
[12:36] Panda
    Yeesh, she's definitely a World Dai Star!
     Her aura's intense!
[12:41] Niizuma
    Super intense!
[12:42] Kathrina
    Is that what the kids say these days?
[12:47] Sasuga
    I came back in a rush.
[12:50] Sasuga
    Which do you think she'd like best as a gift?
[12:54] Kokona
    U-Uh...
[12:55] Shizuka
    Maybe you should cook them first.
[13:04] Theresa
    This is a lovely stage
    that's hosted many actors.
[13:07] Theresa
    I can feel its history.
[13:09] Shamo
    Your daughter's also working hard right now.
[13:12] Theresa
    Yes.
[13:14] Theresa
    Thank you for letting her join your troupe.
[13:17] Shamo
    Kathrina's talent is what got her in,
[13:20] Shamo
    though she seems to be having
    some growing pains now.
[13:26] Niizuma
    Excuse me.
[13:28] Niizuma
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
    My name is Yae Niizuma.
[13:32] Theresa
    Yae! I saw your performance!
[13:35] Niizuma
    Huh?!
[13:36] Theresa
    As Princess Kaguya and the Genie of the Lamp.
[13:39] Theresa
    Your closing show for Arabian Nights
    was especially magnificent.
[13:43] Niizuma
    I-I'm honored...
[13:47] Kokona
    So, um... We have a favor
    to ask you, Theresa-san.
[13:52] Theresa
    What is it? An autograph? Sure.
[13:54] Kokona
    I'd love one! But...
[13:57] Niizuma
    Even just for a second...
    could we see you perform?
[14:03] Theresa
    Me?
[14:05] Kokona
    Yes! We wanted to see
    a World Dai Star's acting live.
[14:09] Kokona
    Please!
[14:11] Niizuma
    Please!
[14:16] Theresa
    Hmm...
[14:24] Theresa
    If Noa will do it with me, sure.
[14:28] All
    Huh?!
[14:29] Sasuga
    The boss and Theresa-san are
    going to perform together?
[14:32] Panda
    That's too epic!
[14:37] Niizuma
    Hiiragi-san...
[14:38] Kokona
    Please, Hiiragi-san!
[14:47] Hiiragi
    All right, just one scene.
[14:51] Girls
    Yay! That's amazing!
[14:58] Kokona
    I wonder what they're going to perform.
[15:23] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    I'm the one who brought you here
[15:26] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    so that we could indulge
    this passion together.
[15:30] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    Your heart is under my control.
[15:35] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    You can never turn back.
[15:41] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    You can never even glance back at the past.
[15:47] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    Give yourself to me.
[15:50] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    What kind of desires will burn through us?
[15:53] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    What kind of sweet temptations await us?
[15:59] Theresa (Christine)
    You were guiding me,
    though I understood nothing...
[16:04] Theresa (Christine)
    Yet now I am here with you.
[16:07] Theresa (Christine)
    I will never turn back.
[16:09] Theresa (Christine)
    It's finally begun... our passion play!
[16:18] Hiiragi (Phantom) and Theresa (Christine)
    It'll burn through us!
[16:32] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    This is our final play!
[16:34] Theresa (Christine)
    The curtain rises!
[16:34] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    The final play!
[16:35] Theresa (Christine)
    The final performance draws near!
[16:38] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    We can no longer turn back, Christine.
[16:45] Theresa (Christine)
    Phantom...
[16:47] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    What's your next line?
[16:50] Theresa (Christine)
    Why...?
[16:52] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    I should be the one to play Don Juan.
[17:02] Hiiragi (Phantom)
    Come... Let us fall to hell together!
[17:13] Theresa
    I think that's about enough.
[17:15] Hiiragi
    Sure.
[17:25] Panda
    Oh, crap... I seriously thought I
    was at the opera house for a second.
[17:29] Sasuga
    Me too, even without a set or costumes.
[17:33] Niizuma
    My heart is pounding!
[17:35] Shizuka
    So that's how a World Dai Star performs...
[17:38] Kathrina
    She really is amazing.
[17:40] Kokona
    Hiiragi-san was amazing, too.
[17:42] Kokona
    I think she was playing her part
    so we'd all be looking at Theresa-san.
[17:47] Kokona
    She was truly like a phantom.
[17:49] Kokona
    But right there at the end...
[17:54] Kokona (Phantom)
    Come! Let us fall to hell together!
[18:00] Kokona
    Something like that.
[18:02] Panda
    You sure got guts to imitate
    that right after seeing it.
[18:05] Sasuga
    Nerves of orichalcum.
[18:07] Kokona
    Huh?
[18:07] Kokona
    U-U-Uh, I just...
[18:13] Theresa
    It seems your Sense helps bring out
    the performance of your costars.
[18:18] Theresa
    Thanks to you, I was able to give
    a show close to the original.
[18:21] Theresa
    I appreciate it.
[18:22] Hiiragi
    It was nothing.
[18:23] Hiiragi
    I got to experience what it's like to work
    with a World Dai Star's Sense again.
[18:29] Hiiragi
    It's so far away...
[18:31] Theresa
    The more you understand yourself,
    the more your Sense will evolve.
[18:35] Theresa
    I'll be waiting until then.
[18:43] Theresa
    This was such a fun day.
[18:46] Theresa
    Thank you so much for spending
    it with me, Kathrina.
[18:49] Kathrina
    You're not going to say anything?
[18:52] Kathrina
    I thought you came here to scold me for
    what a disappointment I've been.
[18:56] Kathrina
    I've done nothing of note
     even after performing
[19:00] Kathrina
    in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter,
    Arabian Nights, and Romeo and Juliet.
[19:05] Kathrina
    I'm only getting attention because I'm
    the daughter of a World Dai Star.
[19:09] Kathrina
    I haven't left any deeper
     impression than that...
[19:15] Kathrina
    Even though Kokona has.
[19:19] Theresa
    But you haven't been
    cutting corners, have you?
[19:22] Kathrina
    No.
[19:23] Theresa
    Then I don't see a problem.
[19:25] Theresa
    You're doing your best.
[19:28] Kathrina
    You think so?
[19:32] Theresa
    The reason I came to SIRIUS is to discuss
    the future of Kathrina Griebel's work.
[19:38] Kathrina
    My work?
[19:40] Theresa
    You've received a number
    of offers from various troupes.
[19:43] Kathrina
    Huh?
[19:45] Theresa
    They've seen your SIRIUS performances.
[19:48] Theresa
    They know about your mishap in
    Germany, but they still want you.
[19:54] Kathrina
    B-But that's so sudden...
[19:57] Theresa
    Opportunities appear all the time
    before you're actually ready.
[20:03] Theresa
    Is there a reason you have to stay here?
[20:06] Theresa
    I'll get you the papers
    from the troupes later.
[20:09] Theresa
    Give me your answer by the
    time I leave Japan tomorrow.
[20:13] Theresa
    I'll honor your wishes, no matter what.
[20:42] Kokona
    Kathrina-chan?
[20:55] Sign
    I'll become a Dai Star at SIRIUS
[22:40] Kudo
    Our next performance will be
    our last chance this year
[22:44] Kudo
    to get the World Theatre League
     to recognize a Dai Star.
[22:48] Kudo
    Still, we've never had so much trouble
    deciding on our fall show before.
[22:53] Kudo
    The reasonable decision is to go with Yae.
[22:55] Kudo
    Her acting skills are...
[22:58] Panda
    But Panda's not too shabby either.
[23:01] Panda
    I mean, she's so adorable, her Sense is
    super awesome, and she's got plenty of fans.
[23:04] Panda
    We'll just have to go with Panda!
[23:07] Sasuga
    I'd really like that, myself.
[23:10] Panda
    Don't take me seriously!
[23:12] Kudo
    What should we do?
[23:18] Hiiragi
    Our upcoming fall production will be...
[23:21] Hiiragi
    The Phantom of the Opera.
[23:25] Hiiragi
    And we'll be holding auditions
    for the role of the Phantom.
