    Dad says he wants to see it.
[04:17] Haru
    Looks complicated.
[04:19] Risa
    Yeah.
[04:21] Risa
    But you want to know everything
    about the person you like, right?
[04:24] Haru
    You really do like your Dad, huh?
[04:27] Risa
    Of course I do!
[04:28] Risa
    He's so cool, and kind, and successful,
[04:31] Risa
    and he's the coolest guy in the world!
[04:35] Risa
    But the law says I can't marry him for
    some reason. Can you believe that?!
[04:41] Haru
    Y-Yeah...
[04:43] Risa
    Japan's laws are just so behind the times!

    It makes me mad.

    What?
[04:51] Producer
    Sorry, sorry.
[04:52] Producer
    I couldn't help but hear.
[04:54] Risa
    You're terrible.

    Like I thought. Dad's the
    only guy who's not a jerk.
[04:58] Producer
    Yeah, that.
[05:00] Producer
    I was just thinking it's rare for you
    to talk about anything but idol work.

    I go see movies a lot, too.
[05:17] Risa
    Oh, yeah?
[05:18] Risa
    Well, your job isn't to watch movies.

    With that acting and expression,

    Fine.

    Now, you may not need this, but...
[08:49] Producer
    I'm come up with a plan for your audition.
[08:53] Producer
    Will you read it?
SIGN    Matoba-san's Audition Plan
[08:55] Risa
    I'll read it, but will it help?
[09:00] Producer
    Well, I'm not actually sure...
[09:04] Risa
    Sheesh...
[09:06] Risa
    I'm fine without that thing!
[09:09] Producer
    "That thing"?
[09:12] Producer
    I am your producer, actually.
[09:16] Risa
    Give me a reward, then.
[09:18] Producer
    What?
[09:19] Risa
    I promise I'll win the audition,
    so buy me a reward.
[09:23] Risa
    It's okay, right?
[09:26] Producer
    Sure. If that'll help
    you try hard, of course.
[09:29] Risa
    Okay! It's a promise!
[09:31] ---
    Matoba-san's Audition Plan
SIGN    ★First, introduce yourself cheerfully!
     It's basic, but introductions are IMPORTANT!(Don't forget to smile)
    Talk about what you're good at and what you like
    with a cheerful attitude.
     Hearing somebody who's enjoying what they're
    talking about is fun, and draws the listener in.
     °If they ask about your lack of acting experience,
    answer by saying how hard you'll work and about
    the freshness you'll bring to the role.
     (In a lot of cases, auditions are to find girls like that)
     <- So you don't need to try and lie.
[09:39] Risa
    I'm going to win, no matter what!

[10:03] Producer
    How'd it go, Matoba-san?
[10:03] Girl
    Okay!
[10:07] Risa
    It went well.
[10:08] Risa
    The judges were impressed with my cuteness,
    and how I answered the questions.
[10:12] Producer
    I-I see...
[10:14] Risa
    And it's all because...
SIGN    You can do it, Risa!!
    Good luck!!

    I'm sure to pass, right?
[10:23] Risa
    To me, there's no way I can fail now.

    Why didn't I pass?!
[11:01] Producer
    It's my responsibility.
[11:04] Producer
    I think I didn't do enough
    research for the audition.
[11:07] Producer
    I'm sorry.
[11:08] Risa
    Why are you apologizing?
[11:10] Risa
    This is my problem!
[11:11] Haru
    Risa.
[11:14] Risa
    I was so sure I'd gotten the part.
[11:19] Producer
    Matoba-san.
[11:21] Risa
    What?
[11:22] Producer
    They actually contacted me.
[11:25] Producer
    They apologized for not being able
    to give you the starring role,

    Hey, that's a job offer!
[11:42] Miria
    Wow!
[11:44] Producer
    Well?
[11:45] Producer
    If you're willing to do it,
    I think we should...
[11:51] Risa
    Don't insult me.
[11:54] Risa
    Listen, I'm aware I'm not at a point in
    my career where I can turn down roles.
[11:59] Risa
    Of course I'll do it!
[12:02] Nina
    You're amazing, Risa-chan!
[12:04] Risa
    I'm not amazing at all.
[12:05] Producer
    Oh, Matoba-san.
[12:07] Producer
    What do you want for your reward?
[12:12] Risa
    I don't need one.
[12:14] Producer
    But I promised...
[12:16] Producer
    And you worked really hard!
[12:18] Producer
    So...
[12:20] Risa
    Shut up.
[12:22] Risa
    I said I don't need it.
[12:27] Producer
    Jeez!
[12:30] Sister
    That sounds rough.
[12:31] Producer
    It's not funny!
[12:33] Sister
    She probably thinks you're a wimp.
[12:36] Sister
    You need to put her in her
    place once in a while.
[12:38] Producer
    You think so, too?
[12:39] Sister
    Yeah. You're going too easy
    on her 'cause she's a kid.
[12:43] Producer
    But she's somebody else's daughter.
[12:46] Producer
    And... she's working really hard.
[12:49] Sister
    It's a tough problem.
[12:51] Sister
    They say you can't scold
    them too much these days.
[12:55] Producer
    They do?
[12:56] Sister
    Yeah.
[12:57] Sister
    But it's not okay to not
    scold them at all, either.
[13:00] Producer
    Which is it?
[13:02] Sister
    Well, what's probably important is
    to see her as an individual person.
[13:08] Sister
    There are all types of kids, after all.
[13:10] Producer
    You mean that there's a lot of
    things that can be bothering a kid?
[13:14] Sister
    Think about it yourself, all right?
[13:17] Sister
    You're not a baby, are you?
[13:24] Producer
    Yeah.
[13:26] Producer
    I'll try talking to her again.
[13:29] Sister
    Yeah. Good luck.
