**[00:08] ---**
It was just a little while ago...
**[00:11] ---**
...that we were ordinary girls,
longing to become princesses.
**[00:16] ---**
A dazzling palace.
A gorgeous dress. A kind prince.
**[00:22] ---**
We always thought
that was a faraway dream.
**[00:28] ---**
But then one day...
**[00:31] ---**
...we had a fateful encounter...
**[00:35] ---**
...and a magic spell was cast on us.
**[00:41] ---**
It was such beautiful magic.
**[00:50] ---**
Please, Cinderella♪
This dream can't end as just a dream
**[00:55] ---**
I've started to move
towards dazzling days
**[01:02] ---**
"WE HAVE A DREAM"
**[01:02] ---**
This magic
isn't just ours.
**[01:04] ---**
This magic isn't just ours.
**[01:05] ---**
"OF PUTTING ON THE GLASS SLIPPER"
**[01:05] ---**
This magic
isn't just ours.
**[01:06] ---**
"OF PUTTING ON THE GLASS SLIPPER"
**[01:06] ---**
Everyone here can
become princes and Cinderellas!
**[01:06] ---**
Everyone here can
become princes and Cinderellas!
**[01:06] ---**
"GOING TO THE PALACE"
**[01:06] ---**
Everyone here can
become princes and Cinderellas!
**[01:08] ---**
Everyone here can
become princes and Cinderellas!
**[01:08] ---**
"AND DANCING IN THE SPOTLIGHT"
**[01:08] ---**
Everyone here can
become princes and Cinderellas!
**[01:10] ---**
Everyone here can
become princes and Cinderellas!
**[01:12] ---**
Every day, I wanna have a cute
heart in times both good and bad
**[01:17] ---**
When I'm in a pinch and trying
to survive, I wanna overcome it coolly
**[01:23] ---**
Update my discouraged
heart with invincible passion
**[01:28] ---**
I'll just keep doing
everything that I can
**[01:33] ---**
So the magic will never end
**[01:38] ---**
I believe in miracles
surrounding real skills
**[01:43] ---**
"I BELIEVE!"
**[01:43] ---**
I believe in miracles
surrounding real skills
**[01:44] ---**
Please, Cinderella♪
This dream can't end as just a dream
**[01:47] ---**
"THIS DREAM CAN'T END AS JUST A DREAM"
**[01:47] ---**
Please, Cinderella♪
This dream can't end as just a dream
**[01:50] ---**
It'll come true if you wish upon a star
**[01:55] ---**
"I'LL FIND IT"
**[01:55] ---**
I'll find it, my only star
**[01:56] ---**
I'll find it, my only star
**[01:56] ---**
"A LIGHT ONLY FOR ME"
**[01:56] ---**
I'll find it, my only star
**[01:58] ---**
"I WANNA KEEP LOOKING TILL I DO"
**[01:58] ---**
I wanna keep looking till I do
**[02:01] ---**
After you're done crying
**[02:03] ---**
Smile again
**[02:05] ---**
Smartly
**[02:06] ---**
But also cutely
**[02:08] ---**
Let's move ahead

EPISODE 1
**[02:26] ---**
PREPARING
**[02:31] ---**
Uzuki-chan.
**[02:33] ---**
Good afternoon!
**[02:36] ---**
Looking at photos
from that last concert?
**[02:40] ---**
Yes! I was thinking
I can't wait to be on stage too.
**[02:44] ---**
I know. You were so close
at that last Cinderella audition.
**[02:51] ---**
I'm taking a lot of other
auditions too, but it's tough.
**[02:57] ---**
Still, you're doing
your best, Uzuki-chan.
**[03:00] ---**
Even after your classmates
dropped out one after another.
**[03:05] ---**
All right! I'm gonna
try even harder!
**[03:10] ---**
Ouch...
**[03:11] ---**
Easy, easy.
**[03:13] ---**
It's good to try hard,
but you can't overdo it.
**[03:18] ---**
Sorry...
**[03:28] ---**
Who's that? Do you know him?
**[03:30] ---**
N-No...
**[03:33] ---**
W-Who are you?
**[03:35] ---**
If you have business, please
see the receptionist.
**[03:38] ---**
No. I...
**[03:41] ---**
Three, two...
**[03:44] ---**
Three, four...
**[03:47] ---**
One, two...
**[04:08] ---**
M-M-Mama!
**[04:13] ---**
You are Uzuki Shimamura-san, yes?
**[04:23] ---**
PREPARING
**[04:25] ---**
346 Production...
**[04:28] ---**
Cinderella Project, Producer...
**[04:33] ---**
Y-You're a producer?
**[04:35] ---**
Yes.
**[04:36] ---**
I believe you've already
taken the Cinderella audition,
**[04:41] ---**
but we have three
openings at the moment.
**[04:45] ---**
You're inviting me
to join the project?
**[04:48] ---**
Yes.
**[04:50] ---**
You mean... I can make my debut?
**[04:56] ---**
Correct.
**[05:00] ---**
D-Debut!
**[05:04] ---**
I can finally become an idol!
**[05:09] ---**
Do you accept?
**[05:12] ---**
Yes!
**[05:14] ---**
Of course!
**[05:15] ---**
I'll do my best!
**[05:19] ---**
Yeah! Yeah!
**[05:21] ---**
That's right! That's it, Mama!
**[05:25] ---**
I'm really gonna make my debut!
**[05:29] ---**
Yeah! Be right home!
See you in a bit!
**[05:34] ---**
Debut!
**[05:41] ---**
Flowers...
**[05:44] ---**
Hello!
**[05:47] ---**
Welcome.
**[05:50] ---**
Which ones should I get?
**[05:54] ---**
Pretty!
**[05:58] ---**
One, ten, one hundred...
**[06:01] ---**
One, ten, one hundred...
**[06:08] ---**
M-Maybe they're a little
too extravagant for me.
**[06:15] ---**
But the ones over here...
**[06:17] ---**
I think I'll go with roses.
**[06:20] ---**
These are nice too!
**[06:23] ---**
But...
**[06:25] ---**
But...
**[06:30] ---**
What are you looking for?
**[06:34] ---**
S-Sorry.
**[06:36] ---**
I just can't seem to decide...
**[06:40] ---**
Are you buying them for someone?
**[06:42] ---**
Yes! Although it's myself...
**[06:48] ---**
But it's to mark a very
special occasion for myself!
**[06:53] ---**
Then how about these?
**[06:57] ---**
Anemones.
**[06:58] ---**
In the language of flowers,
they mean, um... anticipation and hope.
**[07:04] ---**
Anticipation... Hope...
**[07:07] ---**
I kind of thought
that's what you're feeling...
**[07:13] ---**
Thank you.
**[07:15] ---**
No, thank you for your help!
**[07:20] ---**
I'll do my best!
**[07:28] ---**
Rin? Sorry.
**[07:30] ---**
I can take over now.
**[07:35] ---**
Um... You're launching new units
and are producing on several fronts!
**[07:44] ---**
- And I'm on one of them, right?
- Yes.
**[07:47] ---**
Have other girls already
come on board for this project?
**[07:52] ---**
No. You're the first person
we've reconsidered.
**[07:57] ---**
Really?
**[07:59] ---**
As for a unit assignment, that will
happen after we select the other two.
**[08:05] ---**
I apologize, but we need
you to stand by for the time being.
**[08:12] ---**
O-Oh, really?
**[08:14] ---**
Yes.
**[08:16] ---**
So please continue
your training lessons.
**[08:21] ---**
Okay! I'll do my best!
**[08:26] ---**
Do you have any other questions?
**[08:29] ---**
Um...
**[08:34] ---**
Yes! When can I release a CD?
**[08:38] ---**
It's currently in the planning stage.
**[08:40] ---**
I see!
**[08:43] ---**
Um, when can I be on TV?
**[08:46] ---**
It's currently in the planning stage.
**[08:48] ---**
I see!
**[08:51] ---**
Um, can I have a concert?
**[08:54] ---**
That's also in the planning stage.
**[08:57] ---**
I-I see...
**[09:00] ---**
Otherwise, um... uh...
**[09:08] ---**
Also, why me?
**[09:13] ---**
What do you mean?
**[09:15] ---**
Uh... I didn't once make
the cut for this audition.
**[09:21] ---**
So I was hoping you could tell me
the reason for choosing me this time...
**[09:29] ---**
Your smile.
**[09:32] ---**
My smile?
**[09:34] ---**
Yes.
**[09:36] ---**
Do you need further explanation?
**[09:38] ---**
No.
**[09:40] ---**
No!
**[09:43] ---**
My smile's the one thing
I have confidence in!
**[09:45] ---**
V!
**[09:49] ---**
Thank you!
**[09:56] ---**
Two more...
**[09:58] ---**
I wonder what they'll be like.
**[10:01] ---**
H-Hey, you!
**[10:08] ---**
- Would you tell me what happened?
- I didn't do a thing.
**[10:13] ---**
I wouldn't say...
**[10:16] ---**
- What happened?
- Who knows?
**[10:18] ---**
- Nothing, I said.
- Then why's he so afraid?
**[10:22] ---**
Excuse me.
**[10:24] ---**
Maybe I'll take you to the station.
**[10:26] ---**
Wait...
**[10:27] ---**
Excuse me.
**[10:30] ---**
Why not listen to her some more?
**[10:33] ---**
W-Who are you?
**[10:37] ---**
You dropped a screw from your toy?
**[10:40] ---**
I thought someone would step
on it, but she kept the area clear.
**[10:46] ---**
I-I made a big mistake!
**[10:49] ---**
That's okay...
**[10:52] ---**
Sorry about that.
**[10:54] ---**
I only made the situation worse.
**[10:58] ---**
It's all right.
You got dragged into it.
**[11:02] ---**
Um...
**[11:04] ---**
Please take my card.
**[11:08] ---**
Are you interested
in becoming an idol?
**[11:13] ---**
No.
**[11:15] ---**
Oh, you're just a creepy recruiter.
Is that why you got involved?
**[11:21] ---**
No, that's not...
**[11:23] ---**
Sorry, but I don't know anything
about idols, and I'm not interested.
**[11:32] ---**
Good morning!
**[11:34] ---**
What shall we do today?
**[11:37] ---**
Your lesson, please.
**[11:39] ---**
My lesson, huh? I'll do my best!
**[11:42] ---**
I'd like to improve my dancing
a little bit before I meet the others.
**[11:48] ---**
Please.
**[11:49] ---**
Okay!
**[11:58] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[12:02] ---**
Didn't I tell you I wasn't interested?
**[12:06] ---**
I was hoping you would at
least take my business card.
**[12:17] ---**
- Who is he?
- No idea.
**[12:20] ---**
What?
**[12:21] ---**
There he is again.
**[12:28] ---**
It's the same no matter how often you ask.
**[12:31] ---**
I've no interest in being an idol.
**[12:37] ---**
How many new people
will they accept this year?
**[12:41] ---**
We'll be their upperclassmen.
Better shape up!
**[12:46] ---**
Good morning!
**[12:48] ---**
What shall we do today?
**[12:52] ---**
Well, your lesson...
**[12:53] ---**
My lesson, huh? I'll do my best!
**[12:56] ---**
I've gotten a bit better
at that one step I was weak at.
**[13:01] ---**
Whoa!
**[13:13] ---**
Rin!
**[13:15] ---**
Decided on a club?
**[13:17] ---**
No, not yet.
**[13:18] ---**
Join the wind-instrument music club.
You have a good ear for music.
**[13:24] ---**
You hear about the suspicious guy?
They say he's been around lately.
**[13:30] ---**
For real?
**[13:31] ---**
And he's got this murderous stare...
**[13:34] ---**
Scary!
**[13:39] ---**
What is it, Rin?
**[13:41] ---**
Um...
**[13:46] ---**
You should stop coming here.
**[13:49] ---**
People are talking about you.
**[13:53] ---**
I'd like to talk to you...
**[13:59] ---**
If you would at least take my card.
**[14:01] ---**
Hey, you!
**[14:04] ---**
Again?
**[14:05] ---**
Let's go to the station.
**[14:07] ---**
I didn't do anything.
**[14:09] ---**
Then what were you doing with her?
**[14:12] ---**
- U-Um...
- A suspicious person was...
**[14:15] ---**
Y-You've got
the wrong idea! He's...
**[14:24] ---**
I apologize.
**[14:25] ---**
Look, first off, what did you see in me
that makes you think I can be an idol?
**[14:33] ---**
Your smile.
**[14:37] ---**
Did I smile in front of you?
**[14:41] ---**
No. Not yet.
**[14:45] ---**
Was that a canned answer?
**[14:53] ---**
Whatever.
**[14:54] ---**
I-I have a question...
**[15:01] ---**
Are you enjoying
your life right now?
**[15:13] ---**
What do you mean?
And what's that got to do with you?
**[15:19] ---**
I don't know.
**[15:22] ---**
I just can't help thinking if there's
something you're passionate about
**[15:30] ---**
or something that
moves you right now.
**[15:36] ---**
That's not your business.
**[15:45] ---**
Look at this, Producer-san!
**[15:52] ---**
How was that?
**[15:55] ---**
It looked good.
**[15:56] ---**
Then what shall I do today?
**[15:59] ---**
Your lesson...
**[16:00] ---**
Huh?
**[16:02] ---**
R-Right, of course.
**[16:07] ---**
Understood!
**[16:08] ---**
I'll do my best with my lesson!
**[16:17] ---**
I apologize.
**[16:20] ---**
For keeping you waiting,
only taking your lessons.
**[16:24] ---**
I love my lessons!
**[16:31] ---**
Um, nothing yet on the other two?
**[16:35] ---**
No.
**[16:35] ---**
Like I thought.
**[16:41] ---**
I'm in the middle of
negotiating with one of them.
**[16:46] ---**
I'm going to meet her
again right now in fact.
**[16:51] ---**
Um, right now?
**[16:56] ---**
Yes.
**[16:58] ---**
U-Um, can I go with you?
**[17:06] ---**
Huh?
**[17:07] ---**
This shop...
**[17:10] ---**
What about it?
**[17:11] ---**
Well, see you later.
**[17:15] ---**
Then you're...
**[17:27] ---**
What a cute doggie.
**[17:28] ---**
Yeah...
**[17:32] ---**
Um, got a name?
**[17:38] ---**
Hanako.
**[17:39] ---**
Hanako-chan?
**[17:41] ---**
I'm Uzuki Shimamura.
**[17:45] ---**
Thank you again for helping me choose
those flowers that time, Hanako-chan.
**[17:51] ---**
Hanako's my dog's name.
**[17:55] ---**
S-Sorry!
**[18:07] ---**
Rin.
**[18:09] ---**
Rin Shibuya.
**[18:11] ---**
That's my name.
**[18:14] ---**
Gotcha!
**[18:16] ---**
Nice to meet you, Shibuya-san!
**[18:19] ---**
Rin's fine.
**[18:21] ---**
Then it's nice to meet you, Rin-chan.
**[18:25] ---**
Nice to meet you, um...
**[18:28] ---**
It's Uzuki!
**[18:31] ---**
Uzuki...
**[18:35] ---**
Um, so, Rin-chan...
**[18:38] ---**
Yes?
**[18:39] ---**
From now on, let's do our
best together to become idols!
**[18:49] ---**
Look, I'm not even
interested in becoming an idol...
**[18:56] ---**
I told him that
from the day we met.
**[19:09] ---**
Hurry!
**[19:10] ---**
Wait!
**[19:11] ---**
This way!
**[19:13] ---**
You're fast!
**[19:15] ---**
Here!
**[19:18] ---**
Look where it went!
**[19:20] ---**
That guy...
**[19:23] ---**
I mean, isn't he strange?
**[19:26] ---**
Him.
**[19:28] ---**
The producer?
**[19:31] ---**
Yeah. He shows up every day
asking me to be an idol. That's all.
**[19:38] ---**
People thought he was
up to something shady...
**[19:43] ---**
He just said he
chose me for my smile...
**[19:49] ---**
T-
**[19:51] ---**
That's what he told me too...
**[19:54] ---**
But I think he really did
choose you for your smile.
**[19:59] ---**
R-Really?
**[20:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:06] ---**
That's fine.
**[20:07] ---**
Either way, that producer may be the one
who makes my long-held dream come true!
**[20:14] ---**
Dream?
**[20:15] ---**
To be an idol?
**[20:17] ---**
Right!
**[20:23] ---**
Listen...
**[20:25] ---**
Why do you want
to become an idol, Uzuki?
**[20:29] ---**
W-Why?
**[20:31] ---**
Um, well, you get to wear pretty
outfits, be on a brilliant stage,
**[20:38] ---**
be like a princess...
**[20:42] ---**
I've always wanted to be like that...
**[20:51] ---**
Um, to be honest, I don't really
know what kind of work an idol does,
**[21:02] ---**
but it's my dream.
**[21:08] ---**
I joined a school, took lessons with the
other students, and waited a long time.
**[21:17] ---**
Waiting for the day I could become an
idol, become something that dazzles...
**[21:24] ---**
I wanted it so badly
**[21:30] ---**
and then one day,
that producer paid me a visit.
**[21:35] ---**
Him...
**[21:43] ---**
He found me,
**[21:49] ---**
so now I have the chance
to make my dream come true.
**[21:55] ---**
That makes me so happy.
**[22:07] ---**
H-Hey! Hanako!
**[22:18] ---**
T-Thanks...
**[22:24] ---**
Think of it as looking for something
you could really be interested in...
**[22:31] ---**
Maybe just dip your toe in?
**[22:35] ---**
I guarantee that a whole
new world will open up to you.
**[23:17] ---**
I'm Rin Shibuya, 15 years old.
I'm looking forward to this.
**[23:22] ---**
Rin-chan!
**[23:24] ---**
Good to see you again, Uzuki.
**[23:26] ---**
Yes, likewise!
**[23:29] ---**
So you're going to be my producer?
**[23:35] ---**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[23:39] ---**
CINDERELLA AUDITION
**[23:41] ---**
Thank you.
**[23:43] ---**
Let's continue with number four.
**[23:47] ---**
Sure!
**[23:50] ---**
I'm number four, Mio Honda!
**[23:53] ---**
It's a pleasure to meet you!
**[23:55] ---**
