[00:12] ---
    All projects from the current idol
    division are disbanded.
[00:16] ---
    We start anew.
[00:18] ---
    After that, I'll choose idols
[00:21] ---
    and unite them for one project,
    with the goal being major results.
[00:25] ---
    This is my decision.
[00:28] ---
    I'll give you further instructions.
[02:05] ---
    REFERENCE ROOM
[02:20] ---
    What the heck is going on?
[02:23] ---
    All projects from the current idol
    division are disbanded.
[02:27] ---
    We start anew.
[02:29] ---
    After that, only idols I select
    will make the cut and be supported.
[02:36] ---
    My aim is establishing
    a brand image for 346 overseas.
[02:44] ---
    I believe the projects have their own
    aims, and their idols are growing
[02:49] ---
    and developing individuality.
[02:53] ---
    Developing individuality.
    That's fine.
[02:56] ---
    However, time waits for no one.
[02:59] ---
    The current process
    is too slow to produce results.
[03:04] ---
    But each person
    has their own way of walking.
[03:08] ---
    I can't proceed in a way that ignores
    that and makes them lose their smile.
[03:15] ---
    Then what's your idea?
[03:18] ---
    If you disagree with me so much,
    surely you have a better plan.
[03:24] ---
    If you give me
    a little time, I...
[03:27] ---
    Present your idea at once.
[03:29] ---
    I'm not a very patient person.
[03:39] ---
    P-kun!
[03:42] ---
    Pardon me for being late!
[03:57] ---
    Is this our room?
[04:00] ---
    It seems...
[04:02] ---
    What did she mean, "disbanded"?
[04:04] ---
    What's going to happen with our work?
[04:07] ---
    I want you to continue with
    work that's already in progress.
[04:12] ---
    Then you don't
    know what's ahead?
[04:16] ---
    What'll happen with our units?
[04:18] ---
    That I...
[04:20] ---
    Will the project
    really be canceled?
[04:23] ---
    I won't let it.
[04:25] ---
    I promise.
[04:27] ---
    I'll present an alternate
    plan, and we'll manage.
[04:31] ---
    Have faith in me.
[04:33] ---
    Please give me a little time.
[04:37] ---
    But is waiting all we can do?
[04:41] ---
    Right! The summer fest
    was a success,
[04:44] ---
    and it looked like things were
    going to pick up.
[04:46] ---
    I want to help.
[04:50] ---
    Somehow...
[04:59] ---
    Producer-san, it's almost
    time for the meeting.
[05:04] ---
    Right.
[05:06] ---
    I'll get us through this.
[05:08] ---
    Stay calm and continue
    your regular schedule.
[05:12] ---
    Then your section's the same?
[05:14] ---
    That's right.
[05:17] ---
    This mood makes me so nervous!
    I'm going for a run outside!
[05:22] ---
    Akane-chan!
[05:24] ---
    It's like I thought... I wonder
    what'll happen with the next job.
[05:29] ---
    For now, it seems stuff
    that's been decided on is safe...
[05:37] ---
    Karen, Nao!
[05:41] ---
    Good morning!
[05:43] ---
    - Good morning!
    - Good morning!
[05:46] ---
    We saw the idol fest.
    It was awesome!
[05:51] ---
    I told you about them.
[05:52] ---
    Oh, those girls.
[05:54] ---
    Mika-nee was praising you two!
[05:57] ---
    Really! I'm touched.
[05:59] ---
    N-Not me.
    We've hardly done any work.
[06:03] ---
    Oh, she said you're great at singing
    and dancing and have good taste.
[06:09] ---
    Um, we're still newcomers,
    but I hope we can work together.
[06:15] ---
    Me too.
[06:17] ---
    I hope we do too.
[06:19] ---
    Waiting for a lesson to start?
[06:24] ---
    Your CD debut was cut?
[06:27] ---
    That's terrible...
[06:28] ---
    She's got a lot of nerve!
[06:31] ---
    We prepared a lot for it...
[06:36] ---
    Part of me thinks we're not ready
    to debut yet, so it's no one's fault.
[06:42] ---
    I don't know what to do.
[06:46] ---
    I'll be back.
[06:48] ---
    Where are you going?
[06:50] ---
    We were told to wait, right?
[06:53] ---
    I know, but...
[06:56] ---
    But this cruelty is the last straw!
[06:59] ---
    And we're just supposed to sit here...
[07:03] ---
    You said it yourself, Shiburin...
[07:06] ---
    What'll you do, Shimamu?
[07:09] ---
    M-Me?
[07:10] ---
    Um... Um...
[07:12] ---
    I... I'll... do my best!
    I'll take lots of lessons.
[07:18] ---
    We still have concerts, so I want to
    focus on them first. Um, after that...
[07:24] ---
    Huh? Sorry!
    Did I say something weird?
[07:29] ---
    But change isn't good, so...
[07:32] ---
    Sorry! I was nervous, and
    the blood rushed to my head.
[07:36] ---
    M-Mio-chan...
[07:38] ---
    All right, I'll do
    my best with lessons too!
[07:42] ---
    Yeah. Me too. Doing nothing
    makes you all the more anxious.
[07:47] ---
    Take lessons with us,
    Karen and Nao.
[07:50] ---
    Are you sure?
[07:52] ---
    Of course!
[07:55] ---
    Thank you!
[08:04] ---
    TV PROGRAM FORMATION
[09:34] ---
    Fabric softener, fabric softener...
[09:38] ---
    Takagaki-san!
[09:42] ---
    Thank you for coming.
[09:44] ---
    Your career with 346 Pro is top class.
[09:49] ---
    I want to do a special headline
    feature on you for the next program.
[09:55] ---
    I've chosen you.
[09:57] ---
    Me?
[09:59] ---
    Yes. You're not Cinderella.
    You're a princess.
[10:04] ---
    Princess...
[10:06] ---
    That's right. A plain shack
    doesn't suit a princess.
[10:11] ---
    For starters, I'll give
    this event to someone else.
[10:15] ---
    This minor event doesn't fit your image.
[10:25] ---
    Heard about Takagaki-san?
[10:27] ---
    And Director Mishiro?
[10:29] ---
    Yeah, that's the one.
[10:32] ---
    That project is you all over.
[10:35] ---
    I thought of several more, but...
[10:39] ---
    No, I like this one. I can feel
    your conviction coming from it.
[10:44] ---
    The only thing is will
    Director Mishiro be convinced?
[10:49] ---
    I wonder.
[10:54] ---
    Our department and the girls'
    future is riding on this.
[11:02] ---
    Have you heard
    about Takagaki-kun?
[11:06] ---
    Yes. That she turned down
    Executive Director Mishiro's proposal?
[11:11] ---
    She's opposing Executive Director
    Mishiro in her own way.
[11:17] ---
    It kind of reminded me a little of you.
[11:35] ---
    Everyone in the company is talking
    about what happened with Kaede-san.
[11:41] ---
    Yeah. She turned down
    a pretty big job, right?
[11:44] ---
    Turning down work at a time like this?
[11:47] ---
    She's pretty rockin'.
[11:49] ---
    She's beautiful and cool!
[11:51] ---
    She's an angel's wings,
    protected by the moonlight.
[11:55] ---
    She really is an idol to look up to!
[11:58] ---
    She's wonderful!
[12:00] ---
    But Kaede-san...
[12:03] ---
    Why'd you turn down the director's idea?
    It was a special feature, the main show!
[12:08] ---
    I was so surprised...
[12:10] ---
    At a time like this, I need
    a "relaxative" to get some relief.
[12:15] ---
    Don't make jokes.
[12:17] ---
    Let's drag her somewhere
    for an interrogation.
[12:21] ---
    If you're dragging me somewhere,
    please make it a pub!
[12:25] ---
    Gonna play dumb?
[12:27] ---
    No drinks until you tell us why.
[12:30] ---
    Come on! How about a
    wee drink to loosen me up?
[12:35] ---
    That's different from her image!
[12:37] ---
    Jokes and a love of pubs...
[12:40] ---
    это тайна. That is odd.
[12:45] ---
    True...
[12:48] ---
    Speaking of odd, I wonder why
    she turned down Director Mishiro.
[12:55] ---
    I bet she had
    a good reason for it.
[13:00] ---
    I'm envious, nya! I want to talk
    with Director Mishiro too!
[13:05] ---
    I hate being told what to do, nya!
[13:07] ---
    M-Miku-chan, calm down.
[13:09] ---
    The producer said to wait...
[13:12] ---
    What would you tell her, anyway?
[13:15] ---
    Maybe I can help P-chan.
    Or think of a proposal...
[13:19] ---
    A proposal?
    I wanna make one too!
[13:23] ---
    But they were
    turned down last time.
[13:26] ---
    It's better than
    sitting around, nya!
[13:29] ---
    I know, but...
[13:32] ---
    Then why don't we make
    a workspace for ourselves first?
[13:37] ---
    Miku-chan, please clear out
    the storage space over there.
[13:44] ---
    But I wanna write...
[13:45] ---
    Miku-chan, cleaning
    is an important job.
[13:49] ---
    Let's all get this room so
    clean that we surprise P-chan!
[13:54] ---
    We'll keep it secret from him?
[13:57] ---
    A young maiden's secret?
[13:59] ---
    That's right!
[14:00] ---
    Then I'll get some dust cloths.
[14:03] ---
    Don't let P-kun see you!
[14:18] ---
    Producer...
[14:20] ---
    Yes?
[14:21] ---
    You've been looking grim all day.
[14:24] ---
    Are you tired?
[14:27] ---
    No.
[14:29] ---
    I'm fine.
[14:38] ---
    Is Kaede-san already here?
[14:41] ---
    I don't know...
[14:44] ---
    Good morn...
[14:45] ---
    Sign on! Sign off!
[14:52] ---
    G-Good morning!
[14:55] ---
    Good morning.
[15:12] ---
    That's...
[15:13] ---
    The proposal Miku-nyan
    was talking about.
[15:17] ---
    The producer seems tired, so I want
    to help him out at least a little.
[15:24] ---
    Having to do with
    a school festival?
[15:26] ---
    Make it bigger...
[15:28] ---
    Where the audience really eats it up...
    But I guess that's pretty normal...
[15:34] ---
    Hey, Shimamu.
    What's your pitch gonna be?
[15:38] ---
    I'm still thinking about it...
[15:41] ---
    I'm drawing a blank...
[15:46] ---
    Excuse me.
[15:48] ---
    Are you ready?
[15:50] ---
    What are you doing?
[15:54] ---
    Writing proposals!
[15:55] ---
    We thought maybe we could
    somehow save the Cinderella Project.
[16:01] ---
    But none of us have
    had any inspiration.
[16:04] ---
    I'm sorry, Producer-san.
[16:07] ---
    Not at all.
[16:08] ---
    Thank you.
[16:10] ---
    Wait, I mean, we don't
    have any good ideas yet, so, um...
[16:21] ---
    Thank you!
[16:27] ---
    Good job.
[16:29] ---
    In fact, that was a great performance.
[16:34] ---
    Excuse me! Coutld you help me?
[16:40] ---
    We're ready to give out the fans, but...
[16:44] ---
    The numbered tickets?
[16:45] ---
    Already given out, but fans who suspect
    we don't have many are pushing forward.
[16:53] ---
    Understood. Then I'll get them...
[16:58] ---
    Kaede-san?
[16:59] ---
    Takagaki-san!
[17:00] ---
    We haven't formed a line yet!
[17:04] ---
    Everyone, it's dangerous
    if you don't line up.
[17:09] ---
    I prepared lots of fans, so no
    pushing, no rushing, and no talking.
[17:15] ---
    Keep your snacks with
    you and line up please.
[17:19] ---
    That's like a fire drill!
[17:21] ---
    Huh? Then it's okay to talk.
[17:32] ---
    - Impressive...
    - Wow... - Did you see that?
[17:35] ---
    Now please return to
    the dressing room and relax.
[17:40] ---
    R-Right.
[17:49] ---
    I want to help too.
[17:52] ---
    But...
[17:54] ---
    Me too.
[17:55] ---
    Me too, if possible...
[17:58] ---
    But you see...
[18:00] ---
    We can't help?
[18:02] ---
    If there's something
    I can do, I want to.
[18:05] ---
    Kaede-san had such a nice smile...
[18:09] ---
    Right! My heart
    was beating fast.
[18:16] ---
    Is it okay with you?
[18:18] ---
    Yes, by all means!
[18:40] ---
    So many people...
[18:42] ---
    Even though Kaede-san is a big star,
[18:46] ---
    she does the same things we do.
[18:49] ---
    Yes. It was awesome.
[18:56] ---
    Kaede-san!
[18:57] ---
    Thank you for your help.
[18:59] ---
    It's roomy but gloomy in here.
[19:03] ---
    Right...
[19:04] ---
    That's why I have
    to light up the room.
[19:19] ---
    Thank you so much for coming.
    It's the same as that time, that day...
[19:26] ---
    Does anyone remember this stage?
[19:29] ---
    I remember!
[19:31] ---
    Thank you.
[19:33] ---
    This is the stage where
    I had my first performance.
[19:39] ---
    I felt lonely and nervous.
[19:42] ---
    But then I met all of you.
    You smiled and cheered me on.
[19:50] ---
    Nothing could've made me happier
    than performing in this place again,
[19:55] ---
    one that's so important to me.
[19:58] ---
    I hope you have a good time.
[20:04] ---
    A dry wind passes through my heart
[20:13] ---
    - Excuse me...
    - Kaede-san.
[20:16] ---
    Yes?
[20:17] ---
    About Director Mishiro.
    Why didn't you accept her offer?
[20:23] ---
    Good question.
    Certainly, it was a good deal, but...
[20:29] ---
    I can't accept.
[20:32] ---
    Why not? It'd give you much
    bigger results than that minor gig.
[20:38] ---
    No work is major or minor.
[20:42] ---
    This concert is at a place
    that means a lot to me.
[20:47] ---
    You're not willing to advance
    your career by taking the next step?
[20:54] ---
    I want to take the next
    step together with my fans.
[20:59] ---
    Together?
[21:02] ---
    Smiling together with my fans.
[21:06] ---
    That's what's most important to me.
[21:09] ---
    That's a vague reason.
[21:12] ---
    That's my way of doing things.
    
[21:15] ---
    You and I have different goals.
[21:17] ---
    Together with the fans...
[21:20] ---
    Smiling...
[21:22] ---
    Our own way of doing things...
[21:24] ---
    The smiles from then
    are supporting you now.
[21:29] ---
    I hope you go forward
    without forgetting that.
[21:33] ---
    I want to shine together.
[21:35] ---
    Please give me the power
    to take a step forward
[21:52] ---
    Wonderful...
[21:54] ---
    Yeah. Kaede-san and the fans too...
[21:58] ---
    Yes. They're glowing.
[22:07] ---
    W-Wow! It's totally clean!
[22:11] ---
    Amazing!
[22:13] ---
    CINDERELLA PROJECT FIGHT, NYA
[22:15] ---
    You all did this?
[22:17] ---
    We wanted to do something...
[22:19] ---
    But there's more! Ta-da!
[22:23] ---
    Proposals?
[22:25] ---
    Wow! We thought of the same thing!
[22:28] ---
    Although we haven't
    actually come up with an idea yet...
[22:33] ---
    Well, we were
    racking our brains here too.
[22:39] ---
    But feelings are important, nya.
    We did everything we could right now!
[22:44] ---
    Crawling back up
    from here is rock.
[22:47] ---
    It's time to unleash our hidden power!
[22:52] ---
    I'm ready!
[22:53] ---
    Let's decide!
[22:55] ---
    I'm psyched about it too!
[22:58] ---
    And Anzu-chan said
    she's all motivated!
[23:02] ---
    I-I never said that!
[23:04] ---
    We'll also do what we can...
[23:07] ---
    ...a little at a time!
[23:09] ---
    If we're together, it'll be fine.
[23:11] ---
    Da. I am not afraid.
[23:15] ---
    All right!
[23:17] ---
    Let's do things our own way!
[23:20] ---
    That suits us!
[23:23] ---
    I bet that's the strongest you can be!
[23:26] ---
    Right, Producer?
[23:30] ---
    Yes.
[23:37] ---
    Excuse me.
[23:42] ---
    I don't have time to spare for you.
[23:45] ---
    I brought my alternative.
