[00:46] ---
    Anya-chan...
[00:50] ---
    Impressive.
[00:52] ---
    Naturally. After all, they're a
    perfect fit for 346, and I chose them.
[01:07] ---
    Красивая.
[02:41] ---
    Thank you so much! We hope...
[02:45] ---
    ...you enjoy the rest of the show!
[02:48] ---
    Anya-chan, that was wonderful!
[02:51] ---
    Minami!
[02:52] ---
    Now it's my turn to do
    my best! Watch me!
[02:57] ---
    I will!
[02:58] ---
    We're up after your senpais.
[03:03] ---
    A lot of people are looking
    forward to your performance.
[03:09] ---
    And this performance will decide
    whether we get to do the winter ball.
[03:16] ---
    Please forget about that for now.
[03:19] ---
    I want you to smile
[03:22] ---
    and enjoy yourselves with the audience.
[03:26] ---
    Right!
[03:27] ---
    Asterisk with Natsunana!
[03:31] ---
    Shall we make our debut?
[03:33] ---
    Yeah!
[03:34] ---
    - I'm so happy!
    - My heart's racing!
[03:36] ---
    Let's all be happy-happy!
[03:39] ---
    Let's deliver happiness...
[03:41] ---
    ...to the audience!
[03:43] ---
    Yeah!
[03:44] ---
    It's an adventure.
[03:47] ---
    We have to follow
    Anya-chan's lead.
[03:50] ---
    - Yes!
    - Yeah!
[03:52] ---
    I'm behind you all the way!
[03:54] ---
    Right! I'll do my best!
[03:59] ---
    Kanzaki-san and
    Shirasaka-san will start.
[04:03] ---
    Thank you.
[04:05] ---
    I hope it becomes a lovely nightmare.
[04:09] ---
    Nightmare...
[04:10] ---
    Kanzaki-san. Please,
[04:16] ---
    let your soul shine.
[04:21] ---
    Then I shall become an
    inviting guide for my compatriots.
[04:27] ---
    Cinderella Project, fight!
[04:31] ---
    Yeah!
[04:37] ---
    Shimamura-san, Honda-san...
[04:41] ---
    You're taking a back seat
    this time, but thank you.
[04:45] ---
    It's okay! Leave it to us!
[04:47] ---
    Right!
[04:49] ---
    I'm fired up, Shimamu!
[04:53] ---
    We're here at last.
[04:55] ---
    Yeah.
[04:57] ---
    Our debut. And on a huge stage.
[05:02] ---
    Yeah.
[05:03] ---
    Though it's already
    begun, it hasn't hit me yet.
[05:07] ---
    Me neither.
    But Rin is calm, as expected.
[05:14] ---
    Looks good on you, natch!
[05:17] ---
    Mio...
[05:22] ---
    Listen...
[05:22] ---
    Wait. Let me say something first.
[05:26] ---
    Sure.
[05:27] ---
    I had a great time doing that play.
[05:31] ---
    It's like I found a new
    possibility within me.
[05:37] ---
    To be honest, I wanted
    to perform here today as New Gen.
[05:44] ---
    But I have a feeling it's better
    that it worked out this way.
[05:50] ---
    I love New Generations.
[05:55] ---
    That's exactly why we
    should do separate projects now.
[05:59] ---
    Mio...
[06:01] ---
    You won't know unless you try.
[06:04] ---
    Let's do our best to focus
    on those things now.
[06:07] ---
    And that'll lead us to the next step.
[06:12] ---
    Yeah. The winter ball, right?
[06:15] ---
    That's right! Stay tuned for
    the improved Mio-chan's performance!
[06:21] ---
    Or something.
[06:22] ---
    Then I'd better succeed
    with today's performance.
[06:26] ---
    Okay! You have our full support!
[06:32] ---
    Say, isn't Uzuki with you?
[06:36] ---
    Actually...
[06:38] ---
    I'll put it right here.
[06:39] ---
    Thank you.
[06:41] ---
    Do your best!
[06:43] ---
    Thank you. We will.
[06:48] ---
    Shimamu! There you are!
[06:54] ---
    I didn't come for any reason.
    Sorry if I interrupted.
[06:58] ---
    N-Not at all. It's okay.
    I've been running around all day...
[07:04] ---
    You're more fired up
    than anyone today.
[07:07] ---
    Rin.
[07:09] ---
    There you are.
[07:14] ---
    Sorry.
[07:15] ---
    I just wanted to see you. Later!
[07:19] ---
    Rin-chan!
[07:21] ---
    Yes?
[07:24] ---
    Do your best out there!
    I'll do my best too!
[07:28] ---
    I will. Thanks.
[07:30] ---
    Fight!
[07:40] ---
    Shimamu?
[07:42] ---
    What's wrong? Feel down?
[07:45] ---
    I don't know what it is.
    Maybe I'm nervous.
[07:49] ---
    Relax! Relax!
[07:51] ---
    Right.
[07:52] ---
    However, onlookers, you can't judge
    this flower that blooms in the abyss!
[07:58] ---
    - Judge me! Punish me! My forgiver.
    - Know me. Whisper to me. He who smiles.
[08:03] ---
    Yes, only him.
[08:08] ---
    It's almost time, Arisu-chan.
[08:11] ---
    P-Please call me by my surname!
[08:15] ---
    You too, Sagisawa-san.
[08:17] ---
    Sagisawa-san?
[08:21] ---
    Right...
[08:24] ---
    Do you know Venus?
    Do you know Venus?
[08:27] ---
    Breaking out of a glass cage
[08:31] ---
    VENUS SYNDROME
    Breaking out of a glass cage
[08:35] ---
    Let me love like that
[08:47] ---
    Not bad. Each unit's
    individuality stands out, huh?
[08:53] ---
    The merit to each comes out well.
[08:56] ---
    I wonder if this is the
    Cinderella Project's "power of smile."
[09:02] ---
    I see. As raw material,
    it seems they have a certain strength.
[09:08] ---
    But that makes them all the more suited
    to produce in the conventional way.
[09:14] ---
    Don't you agree?
[09:18] ---
    You're stubborn too...
[09:25] ---
    Excuse me! Sagisawa-san, Tachibana-san,
    please get ready for the second half!
[09:31] ---
    R-Right!
[09:33] ---
    Okay...
[09:43] ---
    Sagisawa-san...
[09:48] ---
    Sagisawa-san!
[09:52] ---
    - Shibu...
    - Stop a sec!
[09:54] ---
    Yes, ASAP!
[09:57] ---
    Don't move...
[10:09] ---
    Are you okay?
[10:10] ---
    I'm sorry...
[10:12] ---
    Fumika-chan...
[10:14] ---
    Should we tell Director Mishiro?
[10:16] ---
    But where is she?
[10:19] ---
    Should I look for her around there?
[10:21] ---
    I guess...
[10:22] ---
    What should we do?
[10:24] ---
    I don't know.
[10:26] ---
    We can't make that call.
[10:28] ---
    Maybe, but we
    can't go on like this...
[10:33] ---
    - Excuse me.
    - This way!
[10:35] ---
    Producer...
[10:36] ---
    I understand the situation.
    We'll change the lineup.
[10:40] ---
    Can Triad Primus go on
    earlier than scheduled?
[10:47] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[10:49] ---
    Sure...
[10:52] ---
    We can.
[10:55] ---
    Can we make that switch?
[10:57] ---
    Give us a little time.
[10:59] ---
    I'll relay it to everyone.
[11:01] ---
    Please.
[11:02] ---
    Right!
[11:05] ---
    Producer! Is there
    anything I can do?
[11:11] ---
    Thanks to cute me, the audience
    got into today's performance too.
[11:16] ---
    Yeah.
[11:17] ---
    Shimamu!
[11:19] ---
    Come with me!
[11:26] ---
    Why isn't it starting?
[11:28] ---
    That's strange...
[11:30] ---
    Maybe there's been trouble, nya...
[11:31] ---
    Everyone!
[11:33] ---
    I need help!
[11:38] ---
    What do you mean they switched?
[11:40] ---
    I apologize.
[11:42] ---
    We handled it quickly
    to prevent confusion.
[11:46] ---
    Hi, everyone!
[11:49] ---
    Are you having fun so far, nya?
[11:53] ---
    Yeah!
[11:55] ---
    What? That's all
    the gusto you can muster?
[11:59] ---
    Then let's give them
    an energy infusion!
[12:02] ---
    Hey, Natsukichi!
[12:03] ---
    Okay!
[12:05] ---
    Energy...
[12:06] ---
    ...infusion!
[12:14] ---
    How was that, everyone?
[12:16] ---
    Were you energized?
[12:21] ---
    What do I do? I don't know if I can.
[12:24] ---
    I'm nervous too.
[12:28] ---
    It'll be fine. We had
    plenty of lessons, right?
[12:31] ---
    Yeah.
[12:32] ---
    You're right.
[12:34] ---
    How do you feel?
[12:37] ---
    Mio... Uzuki...
[12:39] ---
    It's your unit's first
    performance. Go have fun!
[12:42] ---
    T-Thanks.
[12:44] ---
    We will...
[12:45] ---
    By the way, do you two know
    how great fried chicken is?
[12:50] ---
    Walking home from school hungry.
[12:52] ---
    You stop in a convenience store.
    And they've got aromatic, juicy chicken!
[12:59] ---
    It doesn't have to be meat. Sing as if
    your favorite food's in front of you.
[13:05] ---
    Right, Shimamu?
[13:07] ---
    Yes!
[13:10] ---
    That might work.
[13:12] ---
    Nao-chan, Karen-chan...
[13:15] ---
    Take care of Shiburin.
[13:19] ---
    We will!
[13:21] ---
    Rin-chan?
[13:26] ---
    Uzuki...
[13:27] ---
    Good luck, Rin-chan!
[13:30] ---
    Thank you, Uzuki.
[13:36] ---
    See you later!
[13:38] ---
    See you later.
[13:43] ---
    We're ready!
[13:45] ---
    - Anytime!
    - Understood.
[13:49] ---
    It's that time.
[13:50] ---
    Yeah...
[13:56] ---
    I'll be back. Watch me.
[13:59] ---
    Of course.
[14:00] ---
    I'm your producer.
[14:10] ---
    - Let's go!
    - Yeah!
[14:13] ---
    Chocolate!
[14:18] ---
    So when charismatic
    middle-schooler me put on a smock,
[14:22] ---
    THANKS, OK NOW!!   - MIO
[14:23] ---
    it became the fashion, don't you know!
[14:28] ---
    And the next group is raring to go...
[14:31] ---
    ...so let's keep the fire burning
    for the show's second half!
[14:39] ---
    Brightly-colored ripples
    are blown by the wind
[14:47] ---
    Into the bright, glistening sky
[15:06] ---
    Just what is the meaning of this?
[15:09] ---
    Explain.
[15:11] ---
    The light from the setting
    sun shines on the keyboard
[15:18] ---
    I'm okay now.
[15:20] ---
    Can you go on?
[15:22] ---
    Yes.
[15:23] ---
    Um...
[15:24] ---
    Staring at a nobly blooming flower
[15:28] ---
    I'm sorry, Tachibana-san.
[15:34] ---
    You can call me Arisu.
[15:38] ---
    Thank you, Arisu-chan.
[15:40] ---
    Close your eyes and feel it.
    In the darkness
[15:45] ---
    All three of them are great...
[15:47] ---
    They sure are.
[15:54] ---
    This intense feeling is overflowing
[15:59] ---
    A clover?
[16:00] ---
    Yeah. It's a charm.
[16:02] ---
    Let's have fun.
[16:04] ---
    - Like this?
    - Yes!
[16:07] ---
    Neither side knew how to act.
[16:10] ---
    We'll get used to each other soon.
[16:12] ---
    Yeah. From now on, we're a team.
[16:15] ---
    Into the bright, glistening sky
[16:34] ---
    Thank you very much!
[16:42] ---
    We did it!
[16:43] ---
    Yeah!
[16:45] ---
    Producer...
[16:48] ---
    How were we?
[16:50] ---
    It was a great performance.
[16:54] ---
    Rin!
[16:55] ---
    Hurry up!
[16:58] ---
    Everyone...
[17:12] ---
    It seems you saved your division.
[17:16] ---
    I just did what I could
    as someone who was there.
[17:31] ---
    This is nice...
[17:33] ---
    Experiencing the concert from here...
[17:37] ---
    Fight!
[17:42] ---
    The view only from
    above is beautiful too,
[17:45] ---
    but what supports
    it all is right here.
[17:50] ---
    The power of the bond
    between those who share a dream
[17:54] ---
    is what supports that gorgeous stage.
[17:58] ---
    The bond of girls connected
    by the dream of being an idol.
[18:03] ---
    Pretty nifty, huh?
[18:18] ---
    Well, excuse me.
[18:25] ---
    I needn't tell you if
    this concert is a success, correct?
[18:30] ---
    Then the midterm judgment...
[18:32] ---
    I assessed the current results.
[18:34] ---
    But I didn't take into account
    your fairy tale, "The Power of Smile."
[18:40] ---
    I decided based on the way your
    division handled this evening.
[18:45] ---
    I'll be waiting for the results
    from your winter ball.
[18:55] ---
    Yes!
[18:57] ---
    I think it'll get busier,
    but best wishes.
[19:02] ---
    - Okay!
    - It's fine!
[19:03] ---
    - We'll do our best!
    - It's just what we want, nya!
[19:08] ---
    Also, the two participating
    in Project Krone...
[19:12] ---
    Anastasia-san will stay a solo artist,
[19:15] ---
    and Shibuya-san will be
    with Triad Primus but us as well.
[19:20] ---
    That was decided at
    a meeting with Director Mishiro.
[19:24] ---
    I'm sorry, everyone...
[19:26] ---
    I'm sorry...
[19:28] ---
    It's fine! Both are important!
[19:31] ---
    Mio...
[19:32] ---
    And we'll stay teamed up
    with Natsukichi and Nana-chan.
[19:36] ---
    That's right, nya!
[19:38] ---
    When things get busy,
    everyone but me will pitch in to help.
[19:43] ---
    I-I could help, if you don't mind...
[19:45] ---
    We'll all help, right?
[19:48] ---
    Uzuki?
[19:53] ---
    I'll do my best!
[19:55] ---
    R-Right...
[19:57] ---
    What's wrong, Shimamu?
[20:13] ---
    They're the talk of town.
[20:15] ---
    Yes. It seems they're popular too.
[20:19] ---
    The idols in all the
    divisions are happy these days.
[20:24] ---
    Yes.
[20:26] ---
    Hey, have you seen Uzuki?
[20:29] ---
    She's at a magazine
    photo shoot with Kohinata-san.
[20:33] ---
    You wished to speak?
[20:35] ---
    I've been so busy with the other unit
    lately we haven't talked.
[20:39] ---
    Am I at fault?
[20:43] ---
    Right now, I think Shimamura-san
    needs to work with Kohinata-san.
[20:51] ---
    Would you like to go
    to the shoot with me?
[20:54] ---
    Wait. Uzuki-chan,
    that pose is too stiff.
[20:59] ---
    Could you try changing it?
[21:00] ---
    Sure!
[21:02] ---
    Now smile, you two!
[21:04] ---
    Miho-chan, great smile!
[21:07] ---
    Sorry.
[21:08] ---
    Uzuki-chan, your expression is stiff.
[21:11] ---
    Sorry!
[21:14] ---
    You're so good at this.
[21:16] ---
    Not really!
[21:17] ---
    Even now, I get totally nervous.
[21:19] ---
    Oh... really?
[21:23] ---
    You can't really
    change that kind of thing.
[21:27] ---
    Right.
[21:29] ---
    But work is fun.
[21:33] ---
    Did that come out condescending?
[21:36] ---
    No...
[21:37] ---
    Miho-chan, can I have a minute?
[21:39] ---
    Sure!
[22:07] ---
    Good work.
[22:10] ---
    Good work...
[22:12] ---
    Um...
[22:13] ---
    I'm sorry!
[22:17] ---
    Uzuki?
[22:18] ---
    Sorry.
[22:20] ---
    Um... uh... when you apologized just
    now, that was my fault, wasn't it?
[22:31] ---
    Let's get back in the game.
[22:34] ---
    I'll do my best...
    I'll give it my all.
[22:39] ---
    Everyone's doing
    their best, and so will I...
[22:43] ---
    Um... Huh?
[22:45] ---
    I-I'm sorry. I just keep
    repeating "I'll do my best," huh?
[22:51] ---
    Maybe we should call it a day.
[22:56] ---
    Apparently, you seemed
    a little off today...
[23:00] ---
    Off?
[23:08] ---
    Yes.
[23:10] ---
    I understand.
[23:14] ---
    I apologize, everyone.
    I'm leaving for the day...
[23:18] ---
    Uzuki-chan...
[23:26] ---
    Hey... What's wrong with Uzuki?
[23:30] ---
    It seems she was out of sorts...
