[00:09] Karin
    This is the film crew
    from Discovery! Creatures Galore.
[00:14] Karin
    They're here to take a look around
    for the filming tomorrow.
[00:17] Karin
    They wanted to say "hi" to the staff.
[00:21] A
    Senpai!
[00:24] A
    It's been such a long time!
[00:27] Fuuka
    Ruka-chan!
[01:59] Ruka
    Thanks for getting in touch with me.
[02:02] Fuuka
    I was surprised when I heard
    you were coming to Tingarla for a show.
[02:06] Ruka
    I was so happy!
[02:09] Fuuka
    It's not that big of a deal.
[02:11] A
    You could have contacted me, too.
[02:13] A
    That's so cold of you,
    only contacting Ruka.
[02:15] Fuuka
    Sorry.
[02:16] B
    You're an attendant now, huh, Fuuka-chan?
[02:20] Fuuka
    I work with Cape penguins.
[02:22] A
    We'll be in your care tomorrow, then.
[02:24] Fuuka
    You're getting footage
    of the hatchling, right?
[02:27] Fuuka
    You're documenting their
     introduction to the pool.
[02:31] B
    We heard they haven't been in the pool yet.
[02:34] B
    We were thinking about focusing
    on the name reveal,
[02:38] ---
    but that would be a bit boring by itself.
[02:41] Chiyu
    It's up to the hatchling
    whether it goes into the pool, though.
[02:45] B
    It's a documentary, after all.
[02:48] Ruka
    They can't swim?
    Even though it's a penguin?
[02:50] Fuuka
    They're a bit timid.
[02:52] Marina
    They're each quite different.
[02:54] B
    Say, would it be all right
    if we could get you on, too?
[02:59] Fuuka
    On what?
[03:00] B
    On the show, of course.
[03:03] B
    I think if we can get
    a working attendant on the show,
[03:06] ---
    it'll draw that much more attention
    to the animals.
[03:09] Director
    That's fantastic!
[03:12] A
    We wouldn't mind,
    if it's all right with Tingarla.
[03:16] Fuuka
    But I'm not going on TV anymore.
[03:18] Karin
    Could you take it up with PR first?
[03:21] Karin
    Miyazawa has some work to do, too.
[03:25] Chiyu
    That's true.
[03:27] Chiyu
    If you need a reporter,
    I'm the chief, so—
[03:29] Marina
    Don't worry about it!
[03:31] Marina
    We gotta help each other out.
[03:33] Marina
    Right, Chiyu-san?
[03:35] Chiyu
    Y-Yeah.
[03:37] Karin
    Crap.
[03:38] B
    Fuuka-chan, we're begging you!
[03:46] Ruka
    They're so cute!
[03:48] Ruka
    This is the penguin for tomorrow, huh?
[03:51] Fuuka
    That's right.
[03:52] Ruka
    There, there.
[03:53] Ruka
    Good penguin.
[03:56] Ruka
    They ran away.
[03:58] A
    They really are timid, huh?
[04:01] B
    This might be tough.
[04:03] Chiyu
    They have their new plumage already.
[04:05] Chiyu
    They should be ready to swim any day now.
[04:07] Marina
    I wonder if they're afraid of the pool.
[04:10] Fuuka
    They've been hiding in the nest
    this whole time.
[04:13] Ruka
    You gotta be strong.
[04:14] Ruka
    Or you're never going
    to make it in life.
[04:25] Boss
    Plankton.
[04:26] Kukuru
    Yes, sir!
[04:27] Boss
    You're supposed to be meeting with the staff
    about the opening of the new area.
[04:31] Kukuru
    If I can just have a moment. I'll be back
    as soon as I get a look at the filming.
[04:36] Boss
    Filming? For TV?
[04:38] Kukuru
    It's been on my mind since I heard
    the Yona Productions people were here.
[04:42] Boss
    Don't tell me you want
    to see an idol.
[04:45] Kukuru
    N-No way!
[04:47] Akari
    I saw her earlier.
[04:49] Akari
    Ruka-chan was so cute!
[04:52] Kukuru
    I swear it's nothing like that!
[04:54] Kukuru
    I'm just worried about Fuuka.
[04:55] Boss
    Worry about your own work first.
[04:58] Boss
    I'm responsible for the project,
    but you're the one in charge of it.
[05:02] Boss
    The person in charge can't
    be sitting on her ass.
[05:05] Kukuru
    Okay.
[05:06] Boss
    Also, tidy up your desk.
[05:11] Akari
    I think I saw Miyazawa-san
    with the TV crew.
[05:16] Akari
    I wonder if she's going to be on TV?
[05:21] Kukuru
    I'm going to the bathroom!
[05:23] Boss
    Hey, Plankton!
[05:25] Akari
    Oh, no.
[05:30] Kai
    Kukuru.
[05:38] Karin
    This is the largest tank at Tingarla.
[05:41] Karin
    It takes inspiration from
    the Kuroshio region near Okinawa.
[05:45] Karin
    It's home to roughly
    two thousand swimming animals,
[05:48] Karin
    including sand tiger sharks, manta rays,
[05:50] ---
    yellowfin tuna, giant grouper,
    whitetip reef shark, and other large fish.
[05:57] Kukuru
    Fuuka.
[06:00] Fuuka
    Kukuru?
[06:06] Fuuka
    What's wrong?
[06:07] Kukuru
    Are you all right?
[06:09] Kukuru
    You're here with the Yona Productions people,
    aren't you?
[06:12] Kukuru
    Are you okay with it?
[06:13] Fuuka
    I'm fine.
[06:14] Fuuka
    They wanted me to be a reporter,
    but I'm going to turn them down.
[06:20] Kukuru
    Really?
[06:21] Fuuka
    If I wanted to go back to being an idol,
    I would've taken that movie gig.
[06:25] Kukuru
    But...
[06:26] Fuuka
    Jeez. You worry too much, Kukuru.
[06:30] Fuuka
    To be honest,
    I'm uneasy about being on TV.
[06:34] Fuuka
    People are going to see me and wonder
    what I'm doing, not being an idol anymore.
[06:41] Fuuka
    Never mind me...
[06:48] Kukuru
    Fuuka?
[06:49] Fuuka
    Sorry!
[06:51] Fuuka
    Thanks for being concerned about me.
[06:53] Fuuka
    Let's do some good work.
[06:55] Kukuru
    Yeah.
[06:58] Kuuya
    Pass.
[06:59] Kaoru
    Sorry, but it's already set in stone
    that you're going to be on TV.
[07:03] Kaoru
    The director asked for you.
[07:05] Kuuya
    Huh?
[07:06] Kaoru
    Because you're one of the handsome ones.
[07:08] Kuuya
    I mean... If they needed
    someone handsome, you're...
[07:11] Kaoru
    I'm what?
[07:14] Kai
    Kukuru said there'd be a reward
    for appearing.
[07:18] Kuuya
    It's Grams's plum wine again, isn't it?
[07:20] Kuuya
    She can't keep pulling that on me.
[07:22] Kai
    I wonder if Miyazawa-san's all right, though.
[07:25] Kai
    They had to be from Yona Productions,
    of all places...
[07:27] Kuuya
    Dunno.
[07:29] Kuuya
    I'm sure she's fine.
[07:39] A
    I'm sure you understand.
[07:41] A
    We're counting on you tomorrow.
[07:43] A
    You need to have some focus
    in your career.
[07:46] Ruka
    Okay.
[07:48] A
    Let's take advantage
    of this opportunity.
[07:50] Ruka
    Okay.
[07:59] Ruka
    I have to work harder.
[08:01] Ruka
    For Senpai's sake, too.
[08:04] (Flashback) Fuuka
    Work hard.
[08:05] (Flashback) Fuuka
    For my sake, too.
[08:13] Ruka
    Thank you for inviting me out.
[08:16] Fuuka
    It's been a while, so I wanted
    some quality time to catch up.
[08:20] Fuuka
    At least, that was my hope.
[08:22] Karin
    Nothing beats a drink after work!
[08:25] Kuuya
    Grams's plum wine is the best!
[08:28] Umi
    Oh man, it's actually Ruka-chan.
[08:33] Udon
    Sorry!
[08:34] Udon
    I thought it'd be more fun with more
    people here, so I called everyone.
[08:37] Ruka
    You all work with my senpai, right?
[08:40] Ruka
    I'm happy to meet you.
[08:42] Udon
    Thank goodness.
[08:44] Udon
    Wait, where's Kukuru?
[08:45] Kai
    Overtime.
[08:46] Kai
    She seems especially busy lately.
[08:49] Udon
    You sure know a lot.
[08:51] Kai
    We work together.
[08:53] Karin
    How was Fuuka-chan as a senior?
[08:56] Ruka
    She was kind.
[08:57] Ruka
    She'd join me when I was staying late
    to train and stuff.
[09:00] Fuuka
    I just wanted to train, too.
[09:03] Karin
    You're right. She's kind.
[09:06] Ruka
    Sometimes she'd hang around for my sake
    and then end up going home even later than me.
[09:10] Udon
    Being an idol is like
    being in a sports anime, huh?
[09:13] Umi
    She's still just as hard-working, huh?
[09:16] Karin
    Yup, yup.
[09:17] Karin
    Everyone's working hard,
    including Fuuka-chan!
[09:20] Karin
    I love you all!
[09:22] Kuuya
    I love you, plum wine!
[09:38] Fuuka
    Are you all right?
[09:40] Fuuka
    You seemed a bit down.
[09:45] Ruka
    I get bummed when I think about the fact
    that I still haven't quite made it.
[09:49] Ruka
    I love working as an idol, though.
[09:52] Fuuka
    Yeah.
[09:54] Ruka
    I'm really glad I get to be on TV
    with you again, though, Senpai.
[10:00] Fuuka
    I'm thinking of turning them down.
[10:05] Ruka
    Why would you do that?
[10:06] Fuuka
    I don't really feel like being on TV.
[10:10] Fuuka
    I loved working as an idol, too.
[10:15] Fuuka
    But the penguins are more important
    to me now.
[10:20] Fuuka
    As an attendant, your job is
    to believe in animals and be there for them.
[10:25] Fuuka
    Sometimes, you have to give them a push.
[10:28] Fuuka
    But that seems to suit me.
[10:31] Fuuka
    It's really fun.
[10:33] Ruka
    Are you really...
[10:35] Ruka
    Are you really giving up
    on a career as an idol?
[10:39] Fuuka
    Ruka-chan?
[10:42] Ruka
    Senpai...
[10:43] Ruka
    You worked so hard until now.
[10:45] Ruka
    And yet...
[10:47] Ruka
    Yet, I—!
[10:49] Fuuka
    Ruka-chan.
[10:59] Fuuka
    It's pretty, isn't it?
[11:01] Fuuka
    You can see a lot of stars here
    that you can't in Tokyo.
[11:12] Ruka
    Thank you for everything today.
[11:15] Karin
    See you tomorrow!
[11:17] Kai
    Good night.
[11:22] Karin
    We should get going, too.
[11:25] Kai
    What should we do about Kuuya-san?
[11:26] Karin
    Kai-kun, can you let him crash
    at your place, please?
[11:29] Kai
    I knew it.
[11:30] Umi
    I hope this is a good change
    of pace for Ruka-chan.
[11:34] Umi
    She's having a hard time right now.
[11:38] Umi
    Some of her fans are harassing her online.
[11:41] Umi
    They're saying management favors
    her too much for how talented she is.
[11:46] Fuuka
    I never knew.
[11:47] Umi
    You could be working your butt off,
    but we fans would never see it.
SIGN    Goodbye, High Heels
SIGN    Closed
SIGN    We'll be back in a bit.
SIGN    Hours: 9 AM to 9 PM
[12:11] Fuuka
    I'll be in your care today.
[12:13] B
    Thanks, Fuuka-chan.
[12:15] B
    I'm so glad you'll be on the show.
[12:18] A
    I'm feeling encouraged.
[12:20] Fuuka
    Let's nail it.
[12:23] Ruka
    Okay!
[12:25] B
    Ready...
[12:28] B
    Action!
[12:30] Ruka
    Hello! I'm Discovery!
    Creatures Galore correspondent, Shiroi Ruka.
[12:34] Ruka
    I'm here in Okinawa at Aquarium Tingarla,
    which opened just this spring.
[12:40] Ruka
    And we have a special guest
    with us today.
[12:44] Ruka
    Former member of Yona Productions,
    now an attendant at Aquarium Tingarla,
[12:49] ---
    Miyazawa Fuuka-san!
[12:51] Fuuka
    Hello.
[12:52] Fuuka
    Welcome to Tingarla.
[12:54] Fuuka
    Ruka-chan and I are going to try our best
    today to convey how awesome it is here.
[12:59] Ruka
    Wow!
[13:01] Ruka
    Look at all those fish!
[13:03] Fuuka
    There are over 1,800 animals in this tank.
[13:08] Ruka
    Really?
[13:09] Ruka
    Wow.
[13:14] Ruka
    I'm scared!
[13:15] Ruka
    Help!
[13:18] Eiji
    Let's learn from the splitfin flashlightfish
    and communicate with light together.
[13:30] Ruka
    Fuuka-senpai!
[13:32] Fuuka
    Hey, look.
[13:35] Ruka
    They're cute.
[13:37] Kaoru
    The spotted eagle ray swims
    gracefully in the water.
[13:40] Kaoru
    But they are very cautious,
    and they were very difficult to tame.
[13:45] Ruka
    Let's eat!
[13:48] Ruka
    The view and the food are fantastic!
SIGN    Stable
SIGN    Tare
SIGN    Zero
[13:55] Marina
    3,215 grams.
[13:58] Chiyu
    They seem to be in good health.
[14:00] Chiyu
    I think they're ready for their appearance.
[14:03] Marina
    I'm disappointed, though.
[14:05] Chiyu
    About what?
[14:06] Marina
    I wanted to be on TV!
[14:08] Chiyu
    You might show up a bit
    while you're working.
[14:11] Marina
    Really?
[14:13] Marina
    I'm going to record it
    and show my family.
[14:15] Chiyu
    Hopefully they get into the pool, too.
[14:18] Marina
    You can do it!
[14:20] Marina
    Tú puedes!
[14:23] Kuuya
    Damn it! They got me.
[14:26] Kai
    You downed all that plum wine.
[14:29] Kaoru
    Why do I need to be
    in front of the camera?
[14:33] Kuuya
    Director's orders.
[14:34] Kuuya
    You don't have a choice.
[14:36] Eiji
    Maybe I should have showed off
    some brackish species.
[14:39] Kaoru
    Why don't you take that off already?
[14:41] Kukuru
    I gathered the guest surveys.
[14:43] Kukuru
    Take a look later.
[14:45] Kaoru
    Thanks.
[14:47] Kai
    Don't you want to go see the filming?
[14:49] Kukuru
    I do!
[14:51] Kukuru
    But...
[14:52] Kai
    No time, huh?
[14:55] Kai
    I wonder if Miyazawa-san's all right
    with being on TV.
[15:00] Kukuru
    She said she'd turn them down yesterday.
[15:03] Kai
    Then...
[15:04] Kukuru
    I think she'll be okay, though.
[15:06] Kukuru
    I'm sure she has a plan of some sort.
[15:10] Director
    Well then, everyone,
    allow me to introduce...
[15:14] Director
    This is the cute penguin baby!
[15:25] Ruka
    And now, announcing the name
    of the penguin...
SIGN    The name of the penguin baby is
SIGN    Shiratama-chan
[15:29] Ruka
    Shiratama!
[15:36] Fuuka
    We surveyed our guests for a name.
[15:38] Fuuka
    We had over a thousand suggestions.
[15:41] Ruka
    That many?
[15:42] Fuuka
    All the attendants got together to choose.
[15:45] Fuuka
    It was a close battle
    until the very end.
[15:47] Ruka
    Names are important, after all.
[15:49] Director
    And your name is marvelous, too.
[15:53] Director
    Shiro iruka, as in, "white dolphin"!
[15:55] ---
    Huh?
[15:56] ---
    "White dolphin"?
[15:58] Ruka
    Oh, I see!
[16:01] Ruka
    I'm the white dolphin
    of the idol world, Shiroi Ruka!
[16:06] Ruka
    Squee, squee!
[16:16] Ruka
    J-Just kidding.
[16:18] Director
    You've got good taste,
    playing along with my puns.
[16:35] Fuuka
    Feels nice, huh?
[16:36] Fuuka
    I come here sometimes during my breaks.
[16:39] Ruka
    Sorry to make you worry.
[16:42] Ruka
    I've had so many outtakes since then.
[16:46] Fuuka
    Everyone loses momentum sometimes.
[16:49] Ruka
    I keep messing up.
[16:52] Ruka
    I get too into it and ruin it.
[16:56] Ruka
    Like, I go off on my own.
[16:59] Ruka
    I gotta do better.
[17:06] Fuuka
    I decided to appear
    because you were there, Ruka-chan.
[17:11] Fuuka
    Here.
[17:22] Ruka
    They're so pretty.
[17:24] Fuuka
    My dream was to stand on stage
    in these shoes.
[17:27] Fuuka
    I worked so hard.
[17:29] Fuuka
    But I couldn't bring myself
    to throw them out, even after I quit.
[17:31] Fuuka
    So I put them away.
[17:33] Ruka
    Why not?
[17:35] Fuuka
    I thought they would give
    me encouragement as an attendant.
[17:39] Fuuka
    But I'm beyond that now.
[17:42] Fuuka
    So if it's all right with you, I want
    you to keep them as a good-luck charm.
[17:47] Fuuka
    They might give you strength, too.
[17:51] Ruka
    But aren't they important to you?
[17:53] Fuuka
    You don't need to work hard for my sake.
[17:57] Fuuka
    Work hard for Shiroi Ruka's sake.
[18:00] Ruka
    Senpai...
[18:08] Fuuka
    Let's work hard on the rest of the shoot.
[18:11] Ruka
    Yeah!
[18:30] Ruka
    Will Shiratama-chan finally
     make it into the pool?
[18:57] Fuuka
    Oh, dear.
[18:58] Fuuka
    Maybe that was a bit scary.
[19:01] Fuuka
    Don't do that.
[19:02] Fuuka
    You're scaring them.
[19:17] Ruka
    You can do it.
[19:32] A
    They started preening.
[19:34] B
    Come on! Jump in, please!
[19:37] Ruka
    Oh, no...
[19:38] Ruka
    This isn't good.
[19:47] Fuuka
    Shall we wait for a bit?
[19:55] Ruka
    Are they going to be all right?
[19:57] Fuuka
    They'll be all right.
[19:58] Fuuka
    We have to believe in them.
[20:01] Fuuka
    That they can overcome
    their fears on their own.
[20:24] Fuuka
    Off you go.
[20:43] B
    Thank goodness.
[20:45] A
    Fuuka really did become an attendant, huh?
[20:49] Chiyu
    Yeah.
[20:50] Chiyu
    All of us in the penguin team
    are proud of her.
[20:58] Ruka
    She's so amazing.
[21:12] Ruka
    Shiratama-chan has made their pool debut!
[22:49] Ruka
    I thought they can't live
    outside cold climates.
[22:54] Chiyu
    Some penguins are like that,
    but the penguins at Tingarla are Cape penguins.
[22:59] Marina
    They don't even need air conditioning!
[23:03] Umi
    She has her detractors,
[23:06] ---
    but she also has a lot of fans
    who say her enthusiasm gives them strength.
[23:10] Kai
    I see.
[23:13] Kukuru
    Shiratama, I'm so happy for you.
