When Can't You See Your Own Face in the Mirror?
**[02:22] Classmate A**
Arisu! What are you doing for summer break?
**[02:26] Arisu**
I keep telling you to call me "Tachibana"...
**[02:28] Classmate B**
Get this! My mom says she won't buy me a
phone unless I get into my target school!
**[02:35] Arisu**
What? That's not fair!
**[02:37] Classmate B**
I don't want to study!
**[02:39] Classmate A**
Tachibana's lucky. She gets good grades,
so her parents don't complain at all, right?
**[02:44] Arisu**
That's not true.
**[02:47] Arisu**
No... um... Bye!
**[02:51] Classmate A**
She ran away!
**[02:53] Classmate B**
Tachibana-san, do you have idol work today?
**[02:57] Arisu**
Y-Yes, that's the plan for today...
**[03:01] Arisu**
I have a singing job...
**[03:02] Classmate A**
What? That's amazing!
**[03:26] Division Chief**
The Third Entertainment Division...
**[03:31] Division Chief**
I wish we'd get more notice
about these things, at least.
**[03:34] Assistant Director**
We had an awful time at
the concert late last year
**[03:36] Assistant Director**
after the president got
one of their weird ideas.
**[03:39] Section Chief**
That's right.
**[03:42] Division Chief**
This is bad... They're
still in elementary school!
**[03:45] Assistant Director**
The youngest is the same age as my daughter.
**[03:49] Section Chief**
That's right.
**[03:51] Assistant Director**
What do we do about finding a producer?
**[03:53] Division Chief**
You figure it out!
**[03:56] Division Chief**
I don't want to get involved.
**[03:59] Assistant Director**
Huh...? No, but, sir...
**[04:02] Division Chief**
The President probably figures it'll be
easier to deal with somebody who's young.
**[04:24] Producer**
Next, I've got a meeting in Akasaka...
**[04:28] Producer**
Gotta hurry!
**[04:34] Producer**
Yes?
**[04:35] Section Chief**
*Um, hi.*
**[04:39] Section Chief**
*What are you doing now?*
**[04:40] Producer**
I'm on my way to my next meeting.
**[04:45] Section Chief**
*You are, huh?*
**[04:49] Section Chief**
* So, um, how long have you*
* been with our company?*
**[04:52] Producer**
Three years. Why?
**[04:53] Section Chief**
*Wow, it's been that long already, huh?*
**[05:05] Section Chief**
*Want to be a producer?*
**[05:10] Section Chief**
*We've got a project that needs a producer,*
**[05:13] Section Chief**
* and the company president*
* is directly involved...*
**[05:16] Producer**
I'll do it!
**[05:17] Producer**
Please let me do it!
**[05:18] Section Chief**
*You'll take the job?*
**[05:22] Section Chief**
*Okay, I'll set up a meeting next week.*
**[05:26] Producer**
Okay! Thank you!
**[05:30] Producer**
Sorry!
***SIGN*** missing-chan

I got promoted to producer!!
**[05:38] Producer**
Producer!
**[05:43] Section Chief**
I do feel kind of bad about this...
**[05:46] Assistant Director**
I hear ya.
But it's what the bosses want...
**[05:50] Arisu**
Good morning.
**[05:52] Section Chief/Assistant Director**
Good morning.
**[05:54] Section Chief**
Arisu-chan!
**[06:04] Section Chief**
Make sure you talk this
over with your parents.
**[06:07] Arisu**
Okay. Thank you.
**[06:17] Rookie Trainer**
One, two, three, four!
**[06:19] Rookie Trainer**
One, two, three, four!
**[06:22] Rookie Trainer**

**[06:23] Arisu**
Okay!
**[06:27] [SONG] SIGN**

Good night.
**[06:27] [SONG] SIGN**
Thank you! Sorry it never works out.
Good night!
**[06:27] [SONG] SIGN**
Someone at work asked me to join a unit
called the Third Entertainment Division.
It's supposed to be the company president's
idea. I know I'm busy with studying
for exams, but I'm really thinking
about accepting the offer.
**[06:34] Rookie Trainer**
I'm really happy for you, Tachibana-san.
**[06:36] Rookie Trainer**
A project from the company president himself!
**[06:39] Arisu**
Yes. Now I can really be an idol.
**[06:43] Rookie Trainer**
You've been working really hard.
**[06:46] Arisu**
I've decided I'll do anything I
can that will make a difference.
**[06:50] Arisu**
I don't want people looking
down on me because I'm a kid.
**[06:55] Rookie Trainer**
Tachibana-san, you're sometimes
more of a grown-up than I am.
**[06:59] Rookie Trainer**
I'm sure your parents must be
really level-headed people.
**[07:02] Arisu**
Yes! My mother and father
are both really cool!
**[07:08] Rookie Trainer**
I hope they're happy you were chosen.
**[07:11] Arisu**
Yes, thank you!

**[07:18] Producer**
I wonder what they're like.
**[07:23] Producer**
Mifune-san? Nah, no way...
**[07:29] Producer**
My dream is to do a solo
live concert at the Dome!
**[07:33] Section Chief**
Hey!
**[07:34] Producer**
Section Chief! Hello there.
**[07:37] Section Chief**
How's the new job?
**[07:39] Producer**
I'm so excited!
**[07:42] Producer**
This is where it all begins!
**[07:57] Section Chief**
Okay, let's go celebrate your promotion.
**[08:00] Section Chief**
We drink till dawn!
**[08:02] Section Chief**
And it's on me!
**[08:03] Producer**
Thank you, sir!
**[08:24] Arisu**
I'm home...
**[08:38] Arisu's Mom**
I'm home! Sorry I'm late!
**[08:41] Arisu's Mom**
I'll make dinner right away!
**[08:43] Arisu**
Welcome home, Mother.
**[08:45] Arisu**
Did you see my message?
**[08:47] Arisu's Mom**
I sure did. The Third
Entertainment Division, was it?
**[08:51] Arisu's Mom**
Like I've always said,
**[08:52] Arisu's Mom**
you can do what you want as long as it
doesn't interfere with your studies.
**[08:58] Arisu**
Yeah, thanks.
**[09:02] Arisu's Mom**
Is something wrong?
**[09:03] Arisu**
No. I ate the meal in the
fridge, so I'm going to bed.
**[09:08] Arisu**
Goodnight.
**[09:11] Arisu's Dad**
I'm home...
**[09:20] Arisu's Mom**
Is it just me, or is
Arisu avoiding us lately?
**[09:23] Arisu's Dad**
Is she?
**[09:25] Arisu's Mom**
Yeah, that's what it feels like...
**[09:28] Arisu's Dad**
She's probably just got
something on her mind.
**[09:32] Arisu's Mom**
I wonder if that's all it is...

**[09:47] Haru**
Okay! Let's go!
**[09:58] Haru**
Nice catch!
**[09:59] Nina**
Next is my turn.
**[10:02] Momoka**
Yuuki-san, that's dangerous.
**[10:04] Risa**
That's right.
**[10:06] Risa**
You're an idol. Act like one.
**[10:09] Haru**
There's nothing to do, though!
**[10:19] Nina**
We can't do anything until
the producer gets here.
**[10:31] Miria**
I wonder what our new producer's like!
**[10:36] Risa**
He'll be super-cool, of course, just like Dad!
**[10:40] Momoka**
I'm sure he's an absolute gentleman!
**[10:43] Koharu**
I hope he's like a prince!
**[10:47] Nina**
I hope he's really nice!
**[10:51] Haru**
What do you think he'll be like, Arisu?
**[10:54] Arisu**
Well... we've been kept waiting a long time,
**[10:59] Arisu**
so I certainly hope he's a
grown-up who can do his job.
**[11:03] Arisu**
And... my name is Tachibana.
Don't call me by my first name.
**[11:10] Haru**
Sorry.
**[11:11] Momoka**
It's such a pretty name, too!
**[11:14] Nina**
You don't want to be friends with us?
**[11:17] Arisu**
Th-That's not it...
**[11:19] Arisu**
But, um... it's kind of childish...
**[11:23] Arisu**
I just like being called
by my last name better.
**[11:29] Nina**
I really love the name Arisu!
**[11:35] Arisu**
Okay, I'll make an exception for you...
**[11:37] Nina**
Really? That makes me so happy!
**[11:41] Nina**
Arisu-chan!
**[11:42] Miria**
I want to be friends with Arisu-chan, too!
**[11:45] Kaoru**
Me, too!
**[11:47] Chie**
Me, too!
**[11:49] Kaoru**
Arisu-chan!
**[11:50] Chie**
Arisu-chan!
**[11:51] Arisu**
Oh, fine.
**[11:55] Haru**
What about me?
**[11:56] Arisu**
You're the same age as me, Yuuki-san, so no.
**[11:59] Momoka**
She's a little shy, I see.
**[12:02] Momoka**
But feel free to call me Momoka!
**[12:09] Koharu**
We're finally going to
be able to work as idols!
**[12:15] Risa**
I was getting so stressed
out doing nothing but lessons.
**[12:19] Haru**
The producer's sure late, though...
**[12:26] Miria**
I know!
**[12:27] Miria**
Let's go meet him!
**[12:30] Kaoru**
Send out a search party!
**[12:32] Arisu**
Everybody, calm down!
**[12:35] Producer**
Sorry I'm late!
**[12:42] Producer**
Sorry...
**[12:45] Producer**
Um...
**[12:58] Risa**
Who are you?
**[13:00] Risa**
I bet you're a lolicon who fell
in love with me at first sight!
**[13:02] Producer**
What?
**[13:03] Miria**
Lolicon?
**[13:04] Producer**
I am not a lolicon! I work here!
**[13:10] Producer**
What are you kids doing here, anyway?
**[13:13] Arisu**
We're supposed to be here!
**[13:14] Arisu**
We're idols with the
Third Entertainment Division!
**[13:17] Arisu**
What about you?
**[13:18] Producer**
I'm here to meet the idols in the
Third Entertainment Division!
**[13:22] Producer**
This is my new... job...
**[13:28] Producer**
Don't tell me...
**[13:30] Arisu**
Do you mean...
**[13:34] Miria**
You're our producer?!
**[13:35] Koharu**
It's our producer...
**[13:49] Producer**
I said I was sorry!
**[13:51] Risa**
So you know *nothing* about
the idols you're in charge of?
**[13:55] Risa**
I can't believe you!
**[13:57] Producer**
You thought I was some kind
of weirdo, too, didn't you?
**[14:00] Arisu**
I'm still not certain that you're a grown-up.
**[14:04] Producer**
I am an adult!
**[14:05] Risa**
You're not that much taller than me!
**[14:08] Momoka**
Risa-san!
**[14:10] Producer**
I never asked to be this short!
**[14:12] Producer**
Who cares if I'm short, damn it?!
**[14:15] Haru**
C-Calm down...
**[14:18] Arisu**
I'll go ask for another producer.
**[14:30] Producer**
H-Hold it.
**[14:32] Arisu**
What?
**[14:33] Producer**
Will you give me a little
time to get my head straight?
**[14:36] Arisu**
I refuse.
**[14:38] Arisu**
You don't seem interested
in little kids like us.
**[14:45] Kaoru**
Producer!
**[14:46] Producer**
Wh-What?
**[14:48] Kaoru**
Do you not want to be our producer?
**[14:53] Nina**
We've been waiting for
a producer for so long!
**[14:59] Nina**
So...
**[15:05] Kaoru**
Don't abandon us! Please!
**[15:13] Producer**
I'm not going anywhere!
**[15:15] Nina**
Really?
**[15:30] Producer**
I'm sorry about how I acted back there.
**[15:33] Producer**
Sure, I was genuinely surprised,
**[15:35] Producer**
but it's not that I don't want
to be your producer or anything!
**[15:38] Producer**
I mean it!
**[15:40] Kaoru**
Does that mean...
**[15:45] Producer**
Yeah. Starting today, I'm your producer!
**[15:53] Nina**
Producer!
**[15:55] Kaoru**
Producer!
**[16:01] Kaoru**
Um, Producer! I'm Kaoru!
**[16:05] Kaoru**
Ryuuzaki Kaoru!
**[16:09] Producer**
Nice to meet you!
**[16:13] Nina**
Me, too! Me, too!
**[16:14] Nina**
I'm Ichihara Nina!
**[16:18] Miria**
Akagi Miria! Nice to meet you!
**[16:22] Chie**
S-Sasaki Chie...
**[16:26] Risa**
Matoba Risa.
**[16:29] Haru**
I'm Yuuki Haru.
**[16:32] Koharu**
My name is Koga Koharu!
**[16:35] Momoka**
I'm Sakurai Momoka!
**[16:39] Arisu**
I'm Tachibana Arisu.
**[16:41] Nina**
Arisu-chan!
**[16:42] Kaoru**
Arisu-chan!
**[16:44] Arisu**
Call me Tachibana, please!
**[16:47] Haru**
She gets mad if you call her Arisu.
**[16:50] Arisu**
I'm not going to go against
everyone else's decision.
**[16:53] Arisu**
But I'm still not sure
it's okay to trust you.
**[16:59] Arisu**
So I'll keep my eye
on you for a while.
**[17:01] Producer**
O-Okay...
**[17:03] Risa**
So? What do we do for the rest of the day?
**[17:06] Risa**
Start recording solo songs?
**[17:09] Producer**
Hmm... Let's start with...
**[17:17] Producer**
Sorry! It's lessons!
**[17:20] Arisu**
* Every day, no matter what happens,*
* I want to keep a cute heart.*
**[17:27] Arisu**
* I want to overcome danger and*
* survival in a way that's cool*
**[17:33] Arisu**
* Update! Updating my fragile*
* heart with invincible passion*
**[17:40] Arisu**
* Bringing together the things that only I*
* can do so that the spell won't break...*
**[17:58] Producer**
Tachibana-san, you're a great singer!
**[18:01] Producer**
I loved it!
**[18:04] Arisu**
I'm not, really.
**[18:07] Producer**
You're so humble.
**[18:09] Producer**
But I bet you'd be even better
if you tried to focus on the fact
**[18:13] Producer**
that you're singing for an audience.
**[18:16] Arisu**
Would I?
**[18:18] Arisu**
You're harsher than I thought.
**[18:22] Arisu**
Thank you.
**[18:23] Producer**
No, I know what you're trying to say.
**[18:26] Arisu**
No...
**[18:35] Arisu**
Why did you come to the agency?
**[18:40] Producer**
Me?
**[18:42] Producer**
I love idols!
**[18:48] Producer**
What about you, Tachibana-san?
**[18:51] Arisu**
It seemed like such a
cool and glamorous job...
**[18:56] Producer**
Yeah!
**[18:57] Producer**
That's right!
**[18:59] Producer**
Idols are so cool... so glamorous!
**[19:04] Producer**
Everybody works so hard to be that way...
**[19:09] Producer**
so I have to do my best, too!
**[19:12] Arisu**
You really love idols, huh?
**[19:15] Producer**
Yup! So I'm *so* happy
I became a producer!
**[19:22] Producer**
I can't wait to see you
guys on stage up close,
**[19:25] Producer**
and watch you shine in all your glory!
**[19:36] Arisu**
Well, if that's what you want.
**[19:39] Producer**
Tachibana-san!
**[19:40] Producer**
I want to make a stage that no idol
and no idol fan has ever seen before!
**[19:50] Producer**
I'm still just getting started,
and maybe you can't trust me,
**[19:54] Producer**
but if you'd like,
**[19:56] Producer**
we can go together to see the
most wonderful, shining dream!
**[20:05] Arisu**
I don't know how you can say something like
that after the way you screwed up today.
**[20:13] Arisu**
If you want to be our producer,
at least dress properly!
**[20:20] Arisu**
Sorry! Are you all right?
**[20:24] Producer**
I'm fine... I'm fine...
**[20:26] Risa**
What are you two up to?
**[20:31] Producer**
You all, too!
**[20:33] Producer**
We're still just getting started,
**[20:35] Producer**
but we're heading for
the stage of our dreams!
**[20:39] Miria**
The stage of our dreams?
**[20:40] Nina**
That sounds cool!
**[20:51] Producer**
I look forward to working
with you, Tachibana-san!
**[20:56] Producer**
Yes. Me, too, Producer.
**[21:28] Girls**
No way!
**[21:29] Girls**
It's true!
**[21:33] [SONG] SIGN**
Sorry! I just saw it!
**[21:35] [SONG] SIGN**
Congrats!
**[21:39] Producer**
Now, then, time to head back
and write a planning document!
**[21:43] Section Chief**
Hey, are you heading home?
**[21:45] Producer**
No, um... Hi there.
**[21:50] Section Chief**
Okay! If you're not busy, then let's go drink!
**[21:53] Producer**
**[21:56] Producer**
*Please, Cinderella!*
**[21:59] Producer**
*My dream can't end as just a dream.*
**[22:01] Producer**
*It'll come true if you wish upon a star*
**[22:07] Arisu**
*I'll find it, my only star...*
**[22:11] Arisu**
* It's still so small,*
* but it's starting to shine...*
**[22:18] Arisu**
*For the day when it will shimmer brightly...*
