[00:02] ---
    All right, Uzuki-chan, smile.
[00:04] ---
    Okay, that's great.
[00:07] ---
    The age is demanding cat ears, nya.
[00:10] ---
    It's demanding rock.
[00:12] ---
    - Cat ears!
    - Rock!
[00:14] ---
    Cat ears!
[00:16] ---
    Rock!
[00:17] ---
    Cat ears!
[00:19] ---
    At it again...
[00:21] ---
    Putting those two
    in a unit was a bad idea.
[00:25] ---
    Their images are
    totally the opposite.
[00:30] ---
    What's the producer thinking?
[00:33] ---
    Cat ears...
[00:35] ---
    Rock...
[02:09] ---
    Unit debut?
[02:12] ---
    Yes.
[02:13] ---
    The two of us?
[02:16] ---
    Yes.
[02:16] ---
    Why? It makes no sense, nya!
[02:19] ---
    We're not a good
    match from any angle!
[02:22] ---
    Is that right?
[02:30] ---
    I want to be a cute,
    pop, cat-eared idol, so...
[02:35] ---
    So...
[02:36] ---
    I don't want to do rock, nya!
[02:40] ---
    A-And I don't want anything
    to do with stupid cat ears!
[02:48] ---
    We've already got a song for you...
[02:58] ---
    We're holding off on lyrics until
    I ask you two about your image.
[03:03] ---
    What do you think?
[03:07] ---
    It's perfect for
    a cat-ear dance, nya!
[03:10] ---
    A rock arrangement would be cooler!
[03:13] ---
    - It's cuter with cat ears, nya!
    - Will they be okay?
[03:17] ---
    I hope it works out for them...
[03:23] ---
    I love this cute design
    and poppy colors, nya!
[03:27] ---
    This refreshing mint strikes
    a chord with my hot rock soul...
[03:32] ---
    The coolness in my throat
    after shouting rocks!
[03:36] ---
    Just walking down the street with one
    gives my girl power an instant boost!
[03:41] ---
    Talk like that doesn't get across the
    product's appeal. Focus on its cuteness.
[03:48] ---
    What are you saying?
    The cool feeling's the best part.
[03:52] ---
    Cuteness.
[03:53] ---
    Coolness.
[03:54] ---
    Cuteness!
[03:55] ---
    Coolness!
[03:56] ---
    Cuteness!
[04:00] ---
    We want you framed as a chummy duo, so
    pick out outfits over there and change.
[04:07] ---
    Okay!
[04:13] ---
    Well? Looks good?
[04:15] ---
    Forget that! Put on cat ears
    and a tail so we match, nya!
[04:19] ---
    Why should I? You match me.
[04:22] ---
    Nya! We're supposed
    to be a chummy duo, nya!
[04:30] ---
    Okay. Good job, both of you.
[04:33] ---
    Miku-chan and Riina-chan are always
    together lately, for work and lessons.
[04:39] ---
    It seems they're working
    on teamwork before their CD debut.
[04:43] ---
    They fight like every five minutes.
[04:46] ---
    They want to work that badly?
[04:49] ---
    I'm impressed.
[04:53] ---
    I wonder why the producer
    specifically put those two together.
[04:59] ---
    Maybe it's part of his game plan.
[05:02] ---
    Let's ask P-kun! I'll go!
[05:05] ---
    Me too!
[05:20] ---
    Idol festival?
[05:22] ---
    There's such a thing?
[05:23] ---
    Wow! Everyone gets to participate?
[05:27] ---
    It's still in the proposal stage.
[05:29] ---
    I'll announce it at some point,
    so please don't make a fuss.
[05:34] ---
    Idol fest?
[05:35] ---
    Yeah! It was right
    there on his monitor!
[05:39] ---
    We all get to be
    up on stage together!
[05:44] ---
    This'll start a cat-ear boom, nya!
[05:47] ---
    This could be my chance to show
    everyone how awesome rock is!
[05:53] ---
    You really have
    nothing in common.
[05:56] ---
    But each unit will be
    performing at the fest, right?
[06:00] ---
    If you two can't get along as a duo,
    they probably won't let you participate.
[06:06] ---
    We can't all perform?
[06:08] ---
    Y-You don't really think...
[06:10] ---
    But maybe...
[06:20] ---
    REJECTED
[06:37] ---
    P-chan, please!
[06:38] ---
    Please let us debut as solo
    artists instead of as a unit!
[06:43] ---
    Why pair us in the first place?
[06:45] ---
    The two of us were left over,
    so you just randomly put us together?
[06:50] ---
    That never crossed my mind. I think
    you two are a good match for a unit.
[06:57] ---
    We're not!
[06:59] ---
    If you insist it won't
    work out, I won't push.
[07:03] ---
    But in that case, one of you will
    have to postpone your CD debut.
[07:09] ---
    Not good, nya. Then maybe
    only one of us can be in the fest.
[07:13] ---
    What now then?
[07:15] ---
    I wanna take part in it, nya!
[07:17] ---
    I do too of course!
[07:19] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:21] ---
    O-On second thought,
    a unit's not so bad.
[07:25] ---
    We'll give it one more shot.
[07:27] ---
    Yeah, one more!
[07:28] ---
    I don't think we know
    each other that well yet.
[07:32] ---
    More communication, nya!
[07:34] ---
    Then why not live with each other?
[07:37] ---
    I live with my sister,
    and we get along really well!
[07:41] ---
    Good idea.
[07:43] ---
    Miku-chan lives in the dorm,
    so Riina-chan could try staying over.
[07:50] ---
    That sounds like fun!
[07:54] ---
    That may be a good idea indeed.

    346 PRODUCTION
    AOYAMA GIRLS' DORMITORY
[08:00] ---
    What'd you bring all that for?
[08:02] ---
    This is one week's worth.
[08:07] ---
    I don't have space for that much!
[08:09] ---
    I spent a while getting it
    down to the essentials.
[08:16] ---
    Huh. This is actually
    kind of a rockin' place.
[08:20] ---
    There's only one bed, so you can
    sleep on a futon on the floor, nya.
[08:25] ---
    Oh, sure.
[08:27] ---
    Still, all these boxes...
[08:31] ---
    Why all the headphones?
[08:33] ---
    That's my precious collection.
[08:36] ---
    One is enough, nya!
[08:38] ---
    You've got tons
    of cat ears, right?
[08:41] ---
    They're my stock-in-trade!
[08:43] ---
    My headphones are like that.
[08:47] ---
    Hanging a poster on my wall, nya!
[08:51] ---
    What's wrong with that?
[08:54] ---
    It's morning, nya!
    Wake up! Wake up!
[09:00] ---
    I always skip breakfast...
[09:04] ---
    Breakfast is the source of energy.
    Hurry up, eat, and get to school!
[09:09] ---
    W-What's with the sauce?
    Fried eggs get soy sauce!
[09:13] ---
    That's heresy! Plain sauce for sure!
[09:15] ---
    Soy sauce!
[09:16] ---
    - Plain sauce! Plain sauce!
    - Soy sauce!
[09:26] ---
    The cafeteria closes at eight. Let's
    hit the supermarket since it's late.
[09:32] ---
    Oh, okay.
[09:35] ---
    We get good deals on
    side dishes this late, 50 yen off.
[09:39] ---
    You eat that much?
[09:41] ---
    The body's an idol's asset,
[09:43] ---
    so I always try to get 30 different
    kinds of dishes for dinner, nya.
[09:53] ---
    I love how much space there is.
[09:57] ---
    I'm ready to get out.
[09:59] ---
    You're not warm enough yet!
[10:01] ---
    First count to 100!
[10:03] ---
    Jeez, you're annoying.
[10:09] ---
    - Miku-han. Good evening.
    - Um, is it crowded in there?
[10:14] ---
    Totally empty, nya!
[10:16] ---
    Thank you.
[10:18] ---
    - See you later.
    - See you later, nya!
[10:24] ---
    That was Sae Kobayakawa-chan
    and Miho Kohinata-chan?
[10:28] ---
    They're pretty famous
    but seem so normal...
[10:32] ---
    Didn't know you were such a fangirl.
[10:34] ---
    I-I'm not!
[10:36] ---
    I was thinking that natural
    feeling is pretty rockin'...
[10:40] ---
    "Rockin'" just sounds
    like an excuse to me.
[10:44] ---
    How so?
[10:47] ---
    I'm Riina Tada with 346 Pro.
[10:50] ---
    My goal's to become a rock idol.
    No one loves rock more!
[10:55] ---
    Thanks for your consideration.
[11:02] ---
    Done already, nya? How'd it go?
[11:05] ---
    So-so, I guess?
[11:10] ---
    It's okay, nya! I'm sure we'll make it!
    I'll put cat ears on and charm them!
[11:18] ---
    - Yeah, good luck to you too.
    - Number three, please.
[11:22] ---
    That's me!
[11:26] ---
    Guess this'll take a while.
[11:28] ---
    Nya! I'm so nervous, nya!
[11:31] ---
    You can go on home.
[11:41] ---
    I'm back... and exhausted, nya.
[11:44] ---
    Welcome home.
[11:48] ---
    Whatcha doing?
[11:49] ---
    I thought all that supermarket prepared
    food wasn't good, so I cooked for us.
[11:55] ---
    Riina-chan, you cook, nya?
[11:57] ---
    Once in a while.
[12:00] ---
    It smells good.
    What's on the menu?
[12:06] ---
    Boiled flounder!
[12:09] ---
    It's one of my signature dishes.
    Wait a few. Almost done.
[12:13] ---
    But what's wrong?
[12:20] ---
    I can't stand fish, nya!
[12:22] ---
    No way! But the cat ears...
[12:24] ---
    They're two different things!
    You should've made a meat dish!
[12:28] ---
    Excuse me? You tell me
    that now, after it's done?
[12:47] ---
    I made fish because
    I figured you like it...
[12:59] ---
    I was out of line before, nya.
[13:02] ---
    This mint candy will
    put you in a good mood.
[13:06] ---
    Sorry, I'll pass. Mints are
    spicy, which I don't like.
[13:10] ---
    You said mints were cool and the best!
[13:13] ---
    That was for a campaign.
[13:15] ---
    Most prefer sweet stuff, no?
[13:17] ---
    How's that rockin'?
[13:19] ---
    I-If I think it's rock, it's rock!
[13:23] ---
    What I'm saying is
    rock comes from the heart.
[13:27] ---
    Without a passionate heart,
    fans won't follow you, right?
[13:31] ---
    Cuteness that makes people
    happy on sight is an idol's charm!
[13:36] ---
    That's why I wear cat ears!
[13:37] ---
    Cat ears don't go with rock.
[13:40] ---
    You should play soulful guitar licks.
[13:43] ---
    Why don't you play some
    of those "soulful licks" for me, nya?
[13:48] ---
    I-I'm still learning how to play...
[13:51] ---
    If you can't play, don't bring them!
[13:53] ---
    I'm learning!
[13:55] ---
    Okay okay okay!
[13:56] ---
    Y-You shouldn't fight...
[13:59] ---
    I thought living together
    would bring them closer...
[14:03] ---
    Not much is different...
[14:10] ---
    I'm okay. I said
    you didn't have to call.
[14:14] ---
    You don't need to worry
    about me. Things are going fine.
[14:21] ---
    I'll talk to you soon, Mom.
[14:42] ---
    Idols who can sing?
[14:45] ---
    Yes.
[14:47] ---
    The plan was to have them sing
    for our event in two days...
[14:51] ---
    What's up?
[14:56] ---
    I was hoping 346 Pro would
    have singing idols who could fill in.
[15:03] ---
    Sorry, but it's
    just too short notice.
[15:07] ---
    Excuse me!
[15:09] ---
    Would you let us do it?
[15:14] ---
    We've never even sung together before!
    Why'd you volunteer for that?
[15:19] ---
    I'm sorry.
[15:21] ---
    But I didn't
    want to pass up a chance.
[15:24] ---
    Chance?
[15:27] ---
    We still haven't gotten
    on the same page yet.
[15:32] ---
    I really want
    to participate in the idol fest.
[15:36] ---
    But in the end, that's not a good
    reason to force us into a unit.
[15:41] ---
    I want to see for myself why
    the producer put us together.
[15:47] ---
    And if it's clear that
    we can't make it work,
[15:52] ---
    I want you to make your debut first!
[15:59] ---
    The event is in two days.
[16:02] ---
    Even with the song, there
    aren't any lyrics yet.
[16:05] ---
    W-Well...
[16:08] ---
    We can just write it in two days.
[16:11] ---
    Riina-chan!
[16:12] ---
    I'm interested in songwriting anyway.
[16:15] ---
    And I feel the same way you do.
[16:23] ---
    You're serious then?
[16:26] ---
    Yes!
[16:27] ---
    All right. I'll handle the outfits
    and accompaniment for the song.
[16:32] ---
    Please have the lyrics ready
    by morning two days from now.
[16:37] ---
    Right!
[16:57] ---
    "Burning heartbeat... Rock you...
[17:01] ---
    Kiss you... Sad rain
    drenches the town...
[17:04] ---
    Now is the time to run
    through a rockin' night..."
[17:10] ---
    What? Trying to pick a fight?
    Got your own ideas?
[17:14] ---
    Of course!
[17:18] ---
    "Nya, nya... Goro goro, nyan...
    Deliver a lovely smile, nyan"...
[17:24] ---
    What is that?
[17:26] ---
    It's better than yours!
[17:27] ---
    Even after being all smug about it!
[17:30] ---
    I'd be too embarrassed to sing that!
[17:38] ---
    Here, soy sauce.
[17:40] ---
    Thanks.
[17:59] ---
    Here is the source of great power!
[18:01] ---
    We brought you snacks.
[18:04] ---
    Anyan! Ranko-chan!
[18:05] ---
    Thank you!
[18:29] ---
    I don't get it!
[18:30] ---
    I do, nya!
[18:32] ---
    How do I sing "nyan"
    or "goro" with feeling?
[18:35] ---
    I don't know what your
    lyrics mean either, nya!
[18:42] ---
    Let's go back to the drawing board.
[18:44] ---
    Yeah.
[18:56] ---
    There's a pretty good crowd here!
[18:58] ---
    And now let's play
    rock-paper-scissors for a prize!
[19:04] ---
    You didn't rehearse much.
    Will you be okay?
[19:07] ---
    Yes! We'll be fine.
[19:09] ---
    Leave it to us, nya!
[19:12] ---
    So I can have faith in you two.
[19:14] ---
    Of course!
[19:17] ---
    Do your best.
[19:18] ---
    Right!
[19:19] ---
    Okay, everyone, thank you for playing
    the rock-paper-scissors tournament!
[19:26] ---
    We really are on different pages, huh?
[19:28] ---
    That's why our unit's unique, nya.
[19:32] ---
    Well, shall we go?
[19:33] ---
    Yeah!
[19:36] ---
    It's gonna start!
[19:39] ---
    Yay!
[19:40] ---
    - I'm Miku...
    - ...and I'm Riina!
[19:43] ---
    Thanks for coming!
[19:45] ---
    Miku and Riina?
[19:47] ---
    I've never heard of them.
[19:50] ---
    What a great crowd! Today, we'll show
    you lots and lots and lots of our charm!
[19:57] ---
    Follow us to the end, everyone!
[20:00] ---
    Now let's see more spirit, nya!
[20:02] ---
    Everyone, say nya!
[20:05] ---
    One, two...
[20:06] ---
    Nya!
[20:08] ---
    Nya...
[20:10] ---
    Huh? That's strange!
    I couldn't hear you!
[20:13] ---
    Say it loud enough for
    Miku-chan's cat ears to pick up!
[20:18] ---
    Okay, let's try it once
    more, nya! One, two...
[20:22] ---
    Nya!
[20:23] ---
    Nya...
[20:34] ---
    Nya!
[20:36] ---
    One more time, nya!
[20:40] ---
    Nya! Nya! Nya! Nya!
[20:42] ---
    Nya! Nya! Nya! Nya! Nya! Nya!
[20:46] ---
    Nya! Nya! Nya! Nya! Nya!
[20:50] ---
    Nya!
[20:55] ---
    Okay!
[20:56] ---
    Here we go!
[20:58] ---
    One, two... "Over"!
[22:08] ---
    So it's okay for you two
    to make your CD debut together?
[22:13] ---
    Yes, I think we can,
    respecting our quirks as we go.
[22:18] ---
    I'll take good care of
    my cat ears and rock, nya!
[22:24] ---
    Producer-san, can I pass this idol fest
    proposal on to the rest of the company?
[22:31] ---
    Sorry, we haven't decided
    on their unit name yet...
[22:38] ---
    It's not Asterisk?
[22:42] ---
    No, I just put that mark as a
    placeholder until we decided their name.
[22:49] ---
    Really?
[22:50] ---
    Asterisk?
[22:52] ---
    What's that?
[22:55] ---
    In Latin, it means "little star."
[22:59] ---
    Asterisk... That kind of rocks.
[23:01] ---
    It's cute, nya!
[23:05] ---
    I think that settles it.
[23:10] ---
    Then let's go with
    "Asterisk" as your unit name.
[23:14] ---
    Right!
[23:16] ---
    Also,
[23:18] ---
    the costume designs
    for your debut song are ready.
[23:21] ---
    The cat ears are adorable!
[23:26] ---
    Huh, it is cute.
    This is kind of rockin' too.
[23:32] ---
    - How's this rockin'?
    - What?
[23:34] ---
    I told you if
    it feels like rock, it is.
[23:37] ---
    - That's no policy, nya!
    - It seems you both approve.
[23:42] ---
    - We're through!
    - They're fighting again.
[23:45] ---
    - They never learn.
    - Then no CD debut.
[23:47] ---
    - They really are close.
    - Asterisk is back together again, nya!
[23:52] ---
    They may be a good combination.
