[00:03] ---
    Yes?
[00:04] ---
    Uzuki?
[00:05] ---
    Yes. What's up?
[00:08] ---
    Well, I saw you at the studio today...
[00:12] ---
    Are you... you know, okay?
[00:15] ---
    Sorry to make you worry.
[00:18] ---
    I wasn't myself today...
[00:21] ---
    I'll be back on track tomorrow.
[00:24] ---
    Okay. As long as you're all right...
[00:27] ---
    Talk to you later then.
[00:29] ---
    Right. Thank you.
[00:37] ---
    All right...
[00:46] ---
    Producer-san!
[00:49] ---
    Good morning.
[00:50] ---
    Good morning.
[00:52] ---
    I apologize for
    going home early yesterday.
[00:56] ---
    That's okay. Are you better now?
[00:59] ---
    Yes. And also, um...
[01:05] ---
    Training school?
[01:08] ---
    Like you said, I've been kind of tired.
[01:13] ---
    I think maybe what I need is to
    build up my stamina so I can do better.
[01:18] ---
    At this rate, I'll just be a drag
    on Mio-chan and Rin-chan...
[01:24] ---
    So I'm thinking of
    taking a break from work,
[01:28] ---
    and concentrating one
    more time on core lessons.
[01:33] ---
    Uzuki Shimamura will do her best!
[03:07] ---
    Shimamu?
[03:08] ---
    Yes.
[03:09] ---
    Training school...
[03:11] ---
    Even though she's
    already made her debut?
[03:15] ---
    Why?
[03:17] ---
    She asked to do the core lessons again,
    and I've accepted it as her decision.
[03:24] ---
    She's already got regular
    work scheduled with Miho-chan...
[03:28] ---
    Yes. During this period, I may ask
    all of you to pitch in as necessary.
[03:36] ---
    Thank you in advance
    for your cooperation.
[03:40] ---
    Sure...
[03:41] ---
    Even though the ball is coming up...
[03:44] ---
    I wonder what's wrong with Uzuki-chan...
[03:49] ---
    It'll be okay.
[03:50] ---
    Let's wait for her with a smile.
[03:51] ---
    Kirari-chan is right.
[03:54] ---
    Da. Smiles are important.
[03:57] ---
    That's right, nya.
[03:59] ---
    All right! Smiles, everyone, smiles.
[04:02] ---
    Shibuya-san, Honda-san...
[04:05] ---
    I'll keep an eye on
    Shimamura-san as much as possible,
[04:09] ---
    so I'd like you two
    to focus on your work.
[04:12] ---
    Right.
[04:17] ---
    Even though she said she was fine...
[04:19] ---
    I'll try calling her later.
[04:22] ---
    Okay.
[04:30] ---
    Okay, turn.
[04:35] ---
    You can use that
    when there's an opening.
[04:38] ---
    Thank you!
[04:40] ---
    But don't push yourself too hard.
[04:43] ---
    Right!
[04:47] ---
    I was surprised.
    Why go back to training school?
[04:52] ---
    I wanted to go back to
    the basics once more.
[04:56] ---
    I'll do my best so I can
    sing with you two again.
[05:01] ---
    Are you really okay?
[05:03] ---
    Yes. Mio-chan called me earlier too...
[05:08] ---
    But I'm fine.
[05:11] ---
    I'll be back soon.
[05:14] ---
    Okay. I'll be waiting for you.
    Talk to you later...
[05:28] ---
    Producer-san!
[05:33] ---
    How do you feel?
[05:36] ---
    Good. It's going well.
[05:39] ---
    Is it?
[05:43] ---
    I feel kind of relaxed when I come here.
[05:49] ---
    Um, don't you have to
    visit everyone else on the job?
[05:54] ---
    That's all right. I have time.
[05:57] ---
    I'm sorry for
    causing all this trouble...
[06:01] ---
    Mimura-san is filling in for
    Kohinata-san for the time being.
[06:08] ---
    That's good.
[06:09] ---
    I know Kanako-chan can be counted on.
[06:13] ---
    She'll stand in
    for you until you return.
[06:17] ---
    Right...
[06:22] ---
    I'll hurry and do my
    best so I can get back soon.
[06:29] ---
    I'm Miho Kohinata.
    It's nice to meet you.
[06:32] ---
    I'm Kanako Mimura.
    Nice to meet you too.
[06:38] ---
    Hello! Let's hear from a
    lot of people in town today too!
[06:42] ---
    We're your reporters, Chieri Ogata...
[06:45] ---
    ...and Ranko Kanzaki!
[06:47] ---
    Tremble at the sorrowful voices that
    reverberate through the ancient city!
[06:52] ---
    Could you change the schedule so that
    Ranko Kanzaki arrives 30 minutes later?
[06:57] ---
    Sorry about this.
[07:02] ---
    Watch what she does first,
    then say the line.
[07:05] ---
    Okay, I'll try it that way!
[07:08] ---
    Great. Okay, look right at the camera.
[07:11] ---
    Nice! Just like that!
[07:40] ---
    Shimamu?
[07:41] ---
    Yes. What is it?
[07:45] ---
    Well, I haven't seen you for a while,
    so I thought maybe I'd come to visit.
[07:50] ---
    Invite Shiburin too...
[07:51] ---
    Y-You don't have to!
[07:54] ---
    U-Um, after all,
    both of you have work to do...
[08:01] ---
    And besides, I'm fine, really.
[08:04] ---
    O-Oh?
[08:06] ---
    Well, as long as you're good...
[08:09] ---
    Yes, and doing my best.
[08:13] ---
    She doesn't want us to come?
[08:15] ---
    She didn't say it like that,
[08:19] ---
    but it kind of came off that way...
[08:23] ---
    "You're gonna visit me?
    I missed you too!"
[08:26] ---
    Isn't that what Shimamu
    would normally say?
[08:29] ---
    I was like, huh?
[08:32] ---
    What was she like when she
    went home early from work?
[08:37] ---
    I don't really know, since I was
    watching from across the room,
[08:41] ---
    but I don't think she was smiling.
[08:45] ---
    Before our debut concert,
    Shimamu spent a lot of time,
[08:49] ---
    practicing all alone, remember?
[08:51] ---
    She didn't say anything to us then.
[08:55] ---
    Maybe she's the type of
    person who keeps things bottled up...
[09:00] ---
    I wonder if the producer
    knows the circumstances.
[09:10] ---
    Good work.
[09:12] ---
    Good work.
[09:14] ---
    I'll leave the script and cast list for
    "Totokira Academy" right here.
[09:18] ---
    Senkawa-san...
[09:19] ---
    Yes?
[09:21] ---
    I know this is sudden, but is there some
    event that my department can take on?
[09:40] ---
    Dance really is difficult.
[09:42] ---
    It's complicated.
[09:44] ---
    I'll do my best to master various steps.
[09:48] ---
    Shimamura-san...
[09:49] ---
    Yes?
[09:50] ---
    I know this is sudden, but New
    Generations has a concert next week.
[09:57] ---
    I want you to perform too.
[10:02] ---
    Would you think about it?
[10:07] ---
    After you told me that I was
    "off" the other day, I finally realized,
[10:16] ---
    that I should go back to taking lessons,
    and that I wasn't ready yet.
[10:21] ---
    That there are
    too many things I can't do...
[10:24] ---
    So if I go back now,
    when I still have no confidence,
[10:29] ---
    it would only make problems
    for Rin-chan and Mio-chan.
[10:34] ---
    So... um... this time...
[10:39] ---
    Shimamu isn't enthusiastic about it?
[10:42] ---
    Correct.
[10:43] ---
    Why?
[10:45] ---
    When the three of us have a
    chance to sing again together...
[10:50] ---
    Producer...
    Why is she at the training school?
[10:54] ---
    What happened to Uzuki?
[10:56] ---
    I don't really know myself.
[11:00] ---
    But I sensed that she
    wasn't her usual self.
[11:06] ---
    Ever since both of you started being
    active outside of New Generations...
[11:12] ---
    It's my fault...
[11:14] ---
    New Generations' isn't as busy
    since I started with Triad.
[11:18] ---
    Wrong! I mean, it's my fault.
[11:20] ---
    Since I started acting...
[11:23] ---
    She's been depressed about that?
[11:28] ---
    I think your individual
    activities are essential to you.
[11:34] ---
    And I also assented to
    Shimamura-san's lessons,
[11:37] ---
    if they were necessary
    for her to move forward.
[11:41] ---
    But now I think she's not
    heading in the right direction.
[11:46] ---
    Then this concert...
[11:50] ---
    I intend to keep approaching her
    until she agrees to perform.
[12:12] ---
    What's wrong, Shibuya?
    You're not concentrating.
[12:17] ---
    - I'm sorry.
    - Let's start from the top.
[12:32] ---
    Rin...
[12:34] ---
    Um...
[12:36] ---
    Sorry. Before, I was...
[12:39] ---
    Thinking about Uzuki-chan, right?
[12:42] ---
    She's been off work
    for several days, huh?
[12:45] ---
    Shouldn't you go see her?
[12:49] ---
    Sorry. You're right.
[12:51] ---
    After our dance lesson...
[12:53] ---
    Just go now. You're so worried
    that you're forgetting lyrics.
[12:58] ---
    New Gen is important to us too.
[13:03] ---
    We'll smooth it over with the trainer.
[13:07] ---
    Thank you.
[13:15] ---
    I want to see Uzuki.
[13:17] ---
    Mio and I should tell her that we
    want to perform at the concert together.
[13:22] ---
    Tell me where her training school is.
[13:25] ---
    I'll print out a map.
[13:30] ---
    You didn't say,
    "Please leave this to me."
[13:34] ---
    This is different from that time.
[13:42] ---
    - Mio...
    - Shiburin!
[13:59] ---
    Good morning...
[14:03] ---
    Rin-chan, Mio-chan...
[14:06] ---
    Hi.
[14:11] ---
    I'm surprised to see you two.
[14:13] ---
    Are you done working today?
[14:17] ---
    Yeah. You could say that.
[14:19] ---
    Uzuki.
[14:21] ---
    Is it true you don't want to
    perform at the Christmas concert?
[14:25] ---
    It's not like I don't want to perform.
    I just don't have the confidence yet.
[14:31] ---
    And Producer told me I was off my game.
[14:37] ---
    I'm taking lessons at my pace,
[14:39] ---
    and as soon as I feel confident...
[14:42] ---
    Is that all?
[14:44] ---
    It's not because Mio and I started
    working outside of New Gen?
[14:48] ---
    It's because I started looking
    for other work, right?
[14:53] ---
    N-No! It's not about that.
[14:57] ---
    Both of you shine!
[15:00] ---
    It's really incredible. And everyone
    in our department, they're really...
[15:05] ---
    The point is,
[15:07] ---
    I need to work even harder,
[15:09] ---
    so I can catch up.
[15:12] ---
    Hey, Shimamu. Let's do the concert!
[15:15] ---
    Doing work apart from each other
    is just to test our own capabilities.
[15:20] ---
    Let's do everything we can
    and then take on the ball!
[15:26] ---
    The ball...
[15:28] ---
    You're right...
[15:30] ---
    That's soon, huh?
[15:34] ---
    And yet, here I am...
[15:38] ---
    What have I been doing all this time?
[15:42] ---
    I wonder if maybe I became
    an idol a little too early...
[15:47] ---
    - Wait. What are you saying...
    - That's right. It was too soon.
[15:52] ---
    I'm not ready for a palace ball...
[15:57] ---
    You mean you're not
    going to perform at the ball?
[16:04] ---
    You are kidding, right?
[16:08] ---
    Uzuki Shimamura will do her best!
[16:11] ---
    I'll go back to square one
    and do my best.
[16:14] ---
    - I may lag behind everyone for a while,
    - Hold on...
[16:18] ---
    - but one day I'll become a shining idol.
    - Hold on.
[16:21] ---
    Stop trying to brush it off!
[16:28] ---
    S-Shiburin?
[16:30] ---
    Rin Shibuya didn't go to
    her dance lesson today.
[16:34] ---
    But you already knew that.
[16:36] ---
    Yes.
[16:39] ---
    Her actions are having an effect on
    Triad, not to mention your department.
[16:46] ---
    Valuing the feelings
    of each and every idol.
[16:50] ---
    Is this what it gets you?
[16:53] ---
    Cut her loose.
[16:58] ---
    U-Um, Rin-chan...
[17:10] ---
    Do you remember what you told me?
[17:15] ---
    That even with dreams...
[17:18] ---
    A day will come when you can
    become something that shines.
[17:22] ---
    What about now?
[17:26] ---
    Don't run away.
[17:28] ---
    I'm not running...
[17:31] ---
    What do you think about the ball?
    About New Gen?
[17:34] ---
    I haven't heard your
    answer about that yet.
[17:41] ---
    I...
[17:43] ---
    You're not fine at all!
[17:45] ---
    I won't listen to lies like
    "I don't have confidence yet,"
[17:49] ---
    or "I'm going back to square one"!
[17:55] ---
    - They're not lies...
    - I don't want to see a fake smile!
[18:02] ---
    When I decided to do Triad, you agreed.
[18:04] ---
    Were your words
    and smile then also lies?
[18:11] ---
    I'm not lying. I really do...
[18:15] ---
    Unbelievable.
[18:18] ---
    That's what I think
    when I look at you now.
[18:27] ---
    Say something, Shimamu.
[18:33] ---
    I really did just want to do my best.
[18:38] ---
    To give it everything
    I have one more time...
[18:43] ---
    To smile naturally...
[18:46] ---
    I had a nice smile, right?
[18:50] ---
    Huh? But I wanted to do my best...
    for the ball...
[18:58] ---
    I have to shine like everyone else.
[19:01] ---
    Singing, acting, dancing,
    various things...
[19:08] ---
    Everyone's done their best!
    I love lessons!
[19:12] ---
    So I thought if I did my best...
    If I took a lot more lessons... Um...
[19:23] ---
    But I still have no idea what it is.
[19:27] ---
    I don't know what it is
[19:30] ---
    that shines inside of me.
[19:33] ---
    What should I do if nothing changes?
[19:36] ---
    What if the time comes
    and I haven't changed?
[19:42] ---
    I'm scared.
[19:44] ---
    What should I do if I'm the only
    one who doesn't find anything?
[19:50] ---
    I'm scared...
[19:56] ---
    The producer said I had a nice smile...
[20:01] ---
    ...but... but...
[20:06] ---
    ...smiling... laughing...
    anyone can do that!
[20:13] ---
    There's nothing...
[20:15] ---
    I've got nothing...
[20:20] ---
    Shimamu...
[20:22] ---
    Don't say anyone can do it.
[20:26] ---
    You took the first step.
[20:27] ---
    You said you may be able to shine.
[20:30] ---
    You had a dazzling
    smile back then, Uzuki.
[20:39] ---
    Because you had that smile, I...
[21:03] ---
    Shimamu.
[21:05] ---
    Before, when I ran away,
    you waited for me.
[21:12] ---
    You made me feel at ease.
[21:15] ---
    No matter what the situation, you always
    smiled and said, "I'll do my best."
[21:21] ---
    But that's not always possible, is it?
[21:23] ---
    I'm sorry that I didn't notice.
[21:40] ---
    Let's be friends again! From right now!
[21:47] ---
    Think of idols as stars.
[21:50] ---
    You should know if the
    starlight is going to fade.
[21:54] ---
    A star that's hidden
    by clouds is worthless.
[21:57] ---
    If you can't see it, it's just darkness.
[22:00] ---
    Nothingness.
[22:02] ---
    All clouds clear up.
[22:05] ---
    And the stars are still there.
[22:09] ---
    She... Uzuki Shimamura is an essential
    member of the Cinderella Project.
[22:16] ---
    She will come back.
[22:20] ---
    I'm waiting for her.
[22:22] ---
    No... Please let me wait for her.
[22:30] ---
    Um... We're going back.
[22:36] ---
    Okay. See you later.
[22:41] ---
    Uzuki...
[22:44] ---
    I'll be waiting for you.
[22:45] ---
