**[00:01] ---**
- Totoki...
- ...and Kirari's...
**[00:04] ---**
...Totokira Academy!
**[00:06] ---**
We're with the
Cherry Blossom class today.
**[00:10] ---**
These are some big kindergarteners.
**[00:13] ---**
After all,
**[00:14] ---**
we lied about our ages, right?
**[00:17] ---**
I-I'm eternally 17!
**[00:21] ---**
That's not kindergarten age!
**[00:25] ---**
Anzu-dono, you look
like you belong here.
**[00:27] ---**
With such clever disguises,
maybe you can be a ninja!
**[00:32] ---**
Anzu-chan, nin-nin!
**[00:34] ---**
Really? Then I'll make like
a ninja and disappear.
**[00:39] ---**
You can't leave!
**[00:41] ---**
LAUGH!
**[00:43] ---**
Those two are the same age?
**[00:45] ---**
Yes. They're both 17.
**[00:47] ---**
Bad girl!
**[00:50] ---**
They don't look the same age.
At a glance, I'd say mother and child.
**[00:55] ---**
Frog, frog...
**[00:57] ---**
Do you two have any problems?
**[01:00] ---**
Um...
**[01:01] ---**
I guess I can't stop eating sweets.
**[01:05] ---**
I have too many...
**[01:06] ---**
Cute!
**[01:10] ---**
All right!
Time for Totokira Academy...
**[01:14] ---**
...to start!
**[02:53] ---**
Totokira Academy is popular!
**[02:56] ---**
The ratings are pretty good too.
**[03:00] ---**
I'm sure this'll make
Executive Director Mishiro go "grrrr"!
**[03:08] ---**
What's wrong?
**[03:13] ---**
I wanted to do my best for the sake
of "Cinderella's Ball" but got nervous.
**[03:19] ---**
My tongue was tied too.
**[03:22] ---**
No no, you had great reactions.
**[03:25] ---**
"What the heck?" That was cute.
**[03:29] ---**
Thank you.
**[03:31] ---**
That's because Anzu-chan had
good timing with saying silly things.
**[03:37] ---**
Anzu's actually good
at tying the unit together.
**[03:41] ---**
Just drawing on years
of everyone else's experience.
**[03:46] ---**
Oh no! I'm so happy!
**[03:51] ---**
What is it, Kirarin?
**[03:53] ---**
"Oh no"? Or you're happy?
**[03:56] ---**
Both!
**[03:59] ---**
"Ankiranking"?
**[04:01] ---**
Wow! A segment featuring them?
**[04:05] ---**
Totokira Academy's new segment.
**[04:07] ---**
One of the executives saw the
last taping and thought you two
**[04:13] ---**
had good chemistry together.
**[04:16] ---**
- Let's do it! Let's do it!
- Cut it out!
**[04:20] ---**
Why don't you try it
a few times and see how it is?
**[04:26] ---**
Well, in that case... I don't
think it'll last long anyway.
**[04:31] ---**
Knock it off!
**[04:33] ---**
And for you two also...
**[04:36] ---**
We have one too?
**[04:38] ---**
You're going to do taped
interviews for that segment.
**[04:45] ---**
Interviews?
**[04:47] ---**
I wonder if I can...
**[04:49] ---**
I think you two need
this assignment right now.
**[04:53] ---**
We do?
**[05:00] ---**
Sure!
**[05:01] ---**
I'll do my best.
**[05:03] ---**
Will it really be okay?
**[05:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[05:06] ---**
Everyone's doing their best for the ball.
**[05:09] ---**
So I have to do my best too!
**[05:12] ---**
Me too. I want to get over my
shyness and be able to talk normally.
**[05:19] ---**
Well, if you two want to.
**[05:22] ---**
Let's all do our best!
**[05:23] ---**
Yeah!
**[05:25] ---**
- Anzu...
- ...and Kirari's...
**[05:27] ---**
Ankiranking!
**[05:30] ---**
Happy-happy gossip around town!
**[05:32] ---**
We'll introduce it in ranking format!
**[05:40] ---**
I can't do this...
**[05:41] ---**
Good work.
**[05:43] ---**
We have a meeting once you change.
**[05:46] ---**
Okay!
**[05:47] ---**
My batteries are dead. Slump.
**[05:51] ---**
Hang in there, Anzu-chan!
**[05:54] ---**
Here!
**[05:55] ---**
G-Guess I don't have a choice...
**[05:58] ---**
Then I'll see you shortly.
**[06:00] ---**
Producer...
**[06:02] ---**
Is the next ranking's
theme already decided?
**[06:06] ---**
No.
**[06:07] ---**
Then let's do sweets
or a food-related theme.
**[06:10] ---**
Good idea! That's easy for Kanako-chan
and Chieri-chan to comment on.
**[06:16] ---**
Let's pitch that for the next episode.
**[06:24] ---**
Have you...
**[06:25] ---**
Sorry! Have you lost something?
**[06:29] ---**
N-No. I was looking
for a four-leaf clover...
**[06:33] ---**
That's your hobby, isn't it?
**[06:36] ---**
Yes. If I find one, maybe today's
location shoot will go well.
**[06:42] ---**
I see.
**[06:47] ---**
Producer-san?
**[06:49] ---**
Is it meaningless if I find one?
**[06:52] ---**
No! Thank you!
**[06:57] ---**
Good morning...
**[06:58] ---**
W-What's wrong?
**[07:00] ---**
I can't find a four-leaf clover...
**[07:04] ---**
Really?
**[07:10] ---**
I baked this for
today's location shoot.
**[07:14] ---**
See?
**[07:15] ---**
A clover...
**[07:17] ---**
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
**[07:21] ---**
You too, Producer-san.
**[07:25] ---**
Thank you.
**[07:30] ---**
We're in front of the station
for the favorite-character ranking!
**[07:36] ---**
I-I wonder how
Pinya Korata will be ranked.
**[07:40] ---**
Yay!
**[07:41] ---**
Cut! Don't let
Pinya upstage you.
**[07:44] ---**
- Right...
- Sorry!
**[07:49] ---**
Let's do passerby interviews next.
**[07:52] ---**
Okay!
**[07:53] ---**
Let's do our best!
**[07:54] ---**
Y-Yeah...
**[07:56] ---**
Frog, frog...
**[08:01] ---**
Excuse me! I'm with
Totokira Academy...
**[08:04] ---**
- Chieri-chan, you're in the shot!
- Sorry!
**[08:08] ---**
U-Um...
**[08:13] ---**
Pinya, go!
**[08:20] ---**
Good work.
**[08:23] ---**
Shall we have some tea?
**[08:29] ---**
It seems they can
use it for the segment.
**[08:32] ---**
They said they liked your "innocence."
**[08:36] ---**
Really?
**[08:38] ---**
Good.
**[08:40] ---**
But I still wasn't any good at it.
**[08:45] ---**
Use today's experience
to do better next time.
**[08:49] ---**
Right...
**[08:51] ---**
Okay.
**[08:56] ---**
How's Totokira going?
**[08:59] ---**
Good question. We've only
just started, so it's really hectic,
**[09:04] ---**
but everyone's
rising to the occasion.
**[09:08] ---**
It was getting crowded here, huh?
**[09:11] ---**
Now Sachiko and the
rest are on different jobs.
**[09:14] ---**
Everyone's got a
packed schedule these days.
**[09:21] ---**
What's wrong?
**[09:24] ---**
We thought we'd get
some interview tips.
**[09:28] ---**
Huh, look at all these books...
**[09:32] ---**
Your tea has gotten cold.
**[09:35] ---**
T-Thanks!
**[09:37] ---**
Would you like some too, Kanako?
**[09:39] ---**
Thank you.
**[09:41] ---**
But I'd better get training.
**[09:45] ---**
Что?
**[09:46] ---**
Huh? Was that on the schedule?
**[09:52] ---**
Kanako, fight! давай, давай!
**[09:55] ---**
What's with Mimura?
**[09:58] ---**
Hello.
**[10:00] ---**
It seems she's on a diet...
**[10:03] ---**
Kanako-chan said she
wants to focus her energy.
**[10:07] ---**
She said she messes
up when she's not focused.
**[10:12] ---**
I have to do my best too.
**[10:16] ---**
But don't overdo it.
Your body needs rest.
**[10:20] ---**
R-Right...
**[10:23] ---**
Kanako and Chieri
are working hard.
**[10:26] ---**
Though it seems
they're feeling the pressure.
**[10:30] ---**
I wonder if this is
also a trial for the ball.
**[10:35] ---**
Um, the ball will decide whether
our departments can go on, right?
**[10:41] ---**
Yeah. If we don't show
results there, we'll be dissolved.
**[10:46] ---**
Yes. That's right.
**[10:49] ---**
But on the other hand,
it's our chance!
**[10:52] ---**
We can use it to
show off our ability, right?
**[10:56] ---**
Such confidence.
**[10:57] ---**
Of course!
**[10:59] ---**
I'm the leader
of New Generations!
**[11:03] ---**
Mio-chan!
**[11:05] ---**
It must be nice to have a goal.
**[11:09] ---**
Hey, wanna do
something in it too?
**[11:12] ---**
Good idea.
**[11:14] ---**
We're inviting people from other departments.
**[11:17] ---**
But we haven't
made a CD debut yet...
**[11:20] ---**
That doesn't matter!
The more, the merrier.
**[11:27] ---**
Thank you!
**[11:29] ---**
I'm touched.
**[11:32] ---**
TODAY'S SCHEDULE
LOCATION INTERVIEW ANKIRANKING TAPING
**[11:36] ---**
Nyahoi!
**[11:37] ---**
And Anzu-chan is already here!
**[11:42] ---**
Anzu's doors are closed.
**[11:44] ---**
Then let's eat candy as we go.
**[11:49] ---**
Work, huh?
**[11:51] ---**
Well, see you later.
**[11:54] ---**
I'm sorry I can't be there.
**[11:57] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[12:01] ---**
Moroboshi-san.
**[12:02] ---**
Yes?
**[12:05] ---**
How is the new segment going?
**[12:07] ---**
It's fun. Why?
**[12:15] ---**
P-chan, put your hand out.
**[12:18] ---**
Okay...
**[12:21] ---**
There.
**[12:24] ---**
Sucking on hard candy will
make you happy-happy. It'll be fine.
**[12:43] ---**
Kanako-chan and Chieri-chan
are working hard.
**[12:47] ---**
I guess.
**[12:53] ---**
We'd better get to work.
**[12:55] ---**
You don't need to take a break?
**[13:06] ---**
Cute Me...
**[13:08] ---**
...and Baseball...
**[13:09] ---**
...Stroll!
**[13:11] ---**
Today we'll introduce you to
an old but charming neighborhood.
**[13:16] ---**
The residents are so lucky
to get a visit from cute me!
**[13:21] ---**
Let's go! Play ball!
**[13:24] ---**
Okay, cut.
**[13:26] ---**
Thank you.
**[13:28] ---**
Sachiko-chan's group
is so professional...
**[13:33] ---**
Are you on location too?
**[13:34] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[13:36] ---**
You came to see cute me, didn't you?
**[13:39] ---**
Are those girls idols too?
**[13:41] ---**
I-It's okay.
**[13:43] ---**
We're not going to fail today...
**[13:47] ---**
Y-Yeah. Frog, frog, frog...
**[13:51] ---**
Um...
**[13:51] ---**
We'll do our best!
**[13:54] ---**
They sure are fired up.
**[13:57] ---**
Today we'd like to speak
to an Edo glass-art craftsman.
**[14:03] ---**
So let's go in.
**[14:06] ---**
We're with Totokira Academy.
Nice to meet you!
**[14:09] ---**
What?
**[14:11] ---**
Nice to meet you!
**[14:15] ---**
I see.
**[14:17] ---**
So it's a tradition that's been
passed down since the Edo period.
**[14:21] ---**
Though it doesn't interest kids much.
**[14:24] ---**
That's not true!
**[14:26] ---**
It's beautiful! Right?
**[14:28] ---**
Y-Yeah! I think it's lovely!
**[14:34] ---**
What do you like
about this glass art?
**[14:39] ---**
No, um...
**[14:41] ---**
Never mind.
You're here because it's your job.
**[14:46] ---**
We really think it's beautiful...
**[14:49] ---**
Your face tells a different story.
**[14:53] ---**
Get whatever footage you want.
**[14:55] ---**
- I-I'm sorry...
- Um...
**[15:01] ---**
K-Kanako-chan?
**[15:03] ---**
Kanako-chan!
**[15:05] ---**
It's a popular shop.
**[15:07] ---**
Really? I can't wait!
**[15:14] ---**
Are you worried?
**[15:15] ---**
Shall we visit Kanako-chan and Chieri-chan later?
**[15:19] ---**
No, that's okay.
**[15:21] ---**
It's a pain.
**[15:23] ---**
Anzu-chan, you should
be honest with yourself.
**[15:27] ---**
Otherwise, you'll feel a really
painful squeeze right here.
**[15:35] ---**
Do you get squeezed
like that, Kirari?
**[15:40] ---**
What do you really think
about working with me?
**[15:46] ---**
Why did you suddenly go on a diet?
**[15:49] ---**
I lose focus easily.
**[15:53] ---**
I thought that's why
it wasn't working well.
**[15:58] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[16:00] ---**
Kanako-chan...
**[16:02] ---**
I'm sorry.
I need to work harder...
**[16:10] ---**
Excuse me.
**[16:13] ---**
For now, take this.
**[16:20] ---**
You too, Ogata-san.
**[16:22] ---**
B-But if I eat this...
**[16:25] ---**
No. You can't work at this rate.
**[16:29] ---**
But...
**[16:31] ---**
But...
**[16:33] ---**
You too, Ogata-san. I forbid you to
use "frog" as your good-luck crutch.
**[16:39] ---**
But without it, I...
**[16:42] ---**
Sheesh.
**[16:43] ---**
We came to check your shoot,
so why so forlorn?
**[16:50] ---**
They called on me because it's funny
when the two of us get together.
**[16:55] ---**
Since we're so different
despite being the same age.
**[16:59] ---**
You're right.
**[17:04] ---**
I'm a little bigger
than everyone else,
**[17:08] ---**
but getting to wear cute
clothes and do cute work
**[17:12] ---**
with cute Anzu-chan
makes me very happy-happy.
**[17:18] ---**
It makes me even happier when
people feel happy-happy watching us.
**[17:26] ---**
That's what I think.
**[17:29] ---**
That's why I can smile.
**[17:32] ---**
Kirari...
**[17:41] ---**
Kirarin Attack!
**[17:45] ---**
I love being with you, Anzu-chan.
**[17:50] ---**
How about you, Anzu-chan?
**[17:57] ---**
You're heavy.
**[18:00] ---**
What? You're using fake stoicism
as a charm? I'm so disappointed!
**[18:05] ---**
Hey. That's too harsh.
**[18:08] ---**
Sachiko-han is worried about you.
**[18:11] ---**
Hey! I was just going to give
them props as rivals for cute me!
**[18:18] ---**
But when they're like this...
**[18:23] ---**
Anyway, long faces like
that spoil everything.
**[18:29] ---**
It's hard when you're starting out,
but everyone worries when you look sad.
**[18:34] ---**
Even Sachiko-chan was
totally nervous at first!
**[18:38] ---**
Hey!
**[18:39] ---**
Excuse me! We're about ready!
**[18:42] ---**
Okay!
**[18:43] ---**
Anyway, snap out of it or else!
**[18:46] ---**
Yeah yeah. Okay, let's go.
**[18:50] ---**
Hey!
**[18:53] ---**
Idols should always
be facing forward!
**[18:57] ---**
Like cute me!
**[19:06] ---**
Sorry...
**[19:14] ---**
Sweet...
**[19:19] ---**
When you smile,
it makes me feel relieved.
**[19:25] ---**
I guess maybe
I wasn't facing forward...
**[19:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[19:31] ---**
Even though I meant to do my best...
**[19:35] ---**
Both of you were doing your best.
**[19:38] ---**
The only thing is
you weren't smiling.
**[19:43] ---**
I think this assignment
was a challenge for you.
**[19:47] ---**
I know it made you nervous,
**[19:50] ---**
but even so, I wanted
you to do it with a smile.
**[19:58] ---**
A smile...
**[20:01] ---**
You can't smile unless
you're having fun, right?
**[20:05] ---**
And I was using a "frog" charm
to keep from having to look around.
**[20:12] ---**
I couldn't see a thing,
**[20:14] ---**
not the inside of
the shop nor the owner's face.
**[20:19] ---**
But now I want
to see everything.
**[20:22] ---**
Good.
**[20:25] ---**
I am still nervous though.
**[20:30] ---**
If you'd like a charm
to help you face forward...
**[20:34] ---**
When did you...
**[20:42] ---**
There's the one where you write
"person" on your palm and swallow it.
**[21:05] ---**
U-Um...
**[21:09] ---**
Excuse me!
**[21:25] ---**
You're here to observe before you film.
**[21:29] ---**
Your work must be difficult.
**[21:32] ---**
We just want to introduce people
to things we think are wonderful.
**[21:41] ---**
"Sakanako"?
**[21:43] ---**
It reads as "nanako."
It's the pattern's name.
**[21:47] ---**
T-Thank you.
**[21:49] ---**
It's beautiful...
It made me curious.
**[21:54] ---**
What do you put inside?
**[21:56] ---**
- Anything would be okay...
- Would candy be all right?
**[22:01] ---**
Floating flowers inside
might look pretty.
**[22:05] ---**
The glass pattern
would sparkle with water.
**[22:08] ---**
Lovely!
**[22:13] ---**
If you like the nanako,
I've got more in the back.
**[22:17] ---**
Can we see them?
**[22:19] ---**
Sure.
**[22:21] ---**
Thank you!
**[23:01] ---**
Those are fine dishes.
**[23:05] ---**
Thank you!
**[23:07] ---**
Leave it to me to give
perfect advice to kouhais!
**[23:11] ---**
True...
**[23:13] ---**
Cute.
**[23:15] ---**
If you think you can placate me
with praise, you're absolutely right!
**[23:21] ---**
P-chan, we're done with work!
**[23:26] ---**
How was it?
**[23:30] ---**
One, two...
**[23:31] ---**
GREAT SUCCESS Ta-da!
**[23:32] ---**
GREAT SUCCESS Reward us later!
**[23:36] ---**
Good work.
**[23:40] ---**
Looks like they're
doing good work.
**[23:49] ---**
I hope they'll be able
to leave the Anzu nest soon.
