[00:10] ---
    To think we'll be on stage!
[00:13] ---
    We're in big things right off!
    Who knows what'll happen?
[00:17] ---
    Isn't being an idol super fun?
[00:20] ---
    Yeah!
[00:23] ---
    What about you, Rin-chan?
[00:26] ---
    It still doesn't feel real, I guess.
    I can't imagine myself on stage.
[00:35] ---
    Is this what it's like
    to get your start as an idol?
[00:42] ---
    I don't know, but...
[00:46] ---
    You won't know until you try!
[00:50] ---
    That hurts.
[00:52] ---
    Good morn...
[00:56] ---
    ...ing.
[00:57] ---
    I won't accept newcomers
    going on stage before us, nya!
[01:02] ---
    Let's fight to see
    who's better suited for it, nya!
[02:49] ---
    That was an incredible battle.
[02:54] ---
    I just got a little
    greedy, nya! I didn't lose!
[02:59] ---
    Does this have anything
    to do with being an idol?
[03:08] ---
    Miku-chan, are you okay?
[03:11] ---
    U-Um... I made snacks
    to celebrate your going on stage!
[03:21] ---
    Thanks!
[03:22] ---
    Have some.
[03:29] ---
    They're great!
[03:31] ---
    I can't believe you
    made this yourself!
[03:35] ---
    Here, try one.
[03:38] ---
    Thank you.
[03:44] ---
    It's good.
[03:46] ---
    Eat a whole lot. There's plenty.
[03:50] ---
    - Really?
    - Um...
[03:51] ---
    Wow! Thank you!
[03:54] ---
    I'll have one too.
[03:57] ---
    Hey, Mimura!
[03:59] ---
    You're an idol too, so you need
    to think a bit about your weight.
[04:04] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[04:06] ---
    Sheesh... By the way,
    is Jougasaki here?
[04:11] ---
    Morning!
[04:13] ---
    Mika Jougasaki... san?
[04:17] ---
    Good morning!
[04:18] ---
    Sorry, an interview ran long.
[04:21] ---
    Whatever. Just go change.
[04:23] ---
    Okay.
[04:28] ---
    I get to have a lesson
    with Mika Jougasaki!
[04:33] ---
    Show them the ropes first.
[04:35] ---
    I'll look once they've got the basics.
[04:37] ---
    Okay.
[04:38] ---
    Do you have dance experience?
[04:41] ---
    I danced with school friends a lot!
[04:44] ---
    I did some at the training school...
[04:46] ---
    Not really, I guess.
[04:48] ---
    I watched the DVD
    for this one to learn it.
[04:52] ---
    Well, we won't know till we try.
[04:55] ---
    Just leave it all to me!
[05:00] ---
    Mika-chan!
[05:01] ---
    I'm calling you Mika-nee!
[05:03] ---
    M-Mika-nee?
[05:04] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight.
[05:08] ---
    If you come to a dead
    stop here, it looks cool.
[05:13] ---
    T-This is hard...
[05:16] ---
    Um, there's a part I don't get.
[05:20] ---
    Which?
[05:21] ---
    Um...
[05:24] ---
    "Tokimeki keeps on escalating...
[05:28] ---
    I'm in a love mode
    that pops like cider."
[05:32] ---
    That part.
[05:34] ---
    You can sing too, huh?
[05:35] ---
    Nice, Shiburin!
[05:36] ---
    You're so cool, Rin-chan!
[05:38] ---
    T-That's beside the point.
[05:40] ---
    Oh?
[05:42] ---
    I wonder what outfits
    they'll wear for the concert.
[05:45] ---
    The concert...
[05:47] ---
    Just thinking about it
    makes me nervous!
[05:52] ---
    Hold it, nya!
[05:55] ---
    I just screwed up a little
    last time, nya! Fight me again––
[06:00] ---
    You have something
    else to be doing right now.
[06:08] ---
    Thank you!
[06:11] ---
    Okay, see you around!
[06:26] ---
    Is there something bothering you?
[06:30] ---
    Oh, no.
[06:33] ---
    Is it about the backup dancer girls?
[06:38] ---
    Yes.
[06:39] ---
    Of course, I think
    they've all got the talent.
[06:43] ---
    But to be honest,
    it seems too soon.
[06:47] ---
    You may be right.
[06:50] ---
    But whatever happens, it'll be
    a good experience for them, right?
[07:06] ---
    These are our new outfits, right?
[07:09] ---
    Is this for the winter concert?
[07:13] ---
    Hey, hey! Shimamu! Look at this!
[07:17] ---
    You shouldn't touch it without asking!
[07:20] ---
    Oh, come on!
[07:26] ---
    Huh?
[07:27] ---
    Trainer-san?
[07:31] ---
    I'm her sister.
[07:33] ---
    You look just like her!
[07:34] ---
    I get that a lot.
[07:37] ---
    There. I'm a trainer like
    my sister, but I'm still new.
[07:42] ---
    So you're a rookie like us?
[07:46] ---
    Rookie...
[07:48] ---
    Then you can be Rookie-chan.
[07:51] ---
    Rookie-chan?
[07:58] ---
    This is pretty sexy!
[08:03] ---
    You both look great!
[08:05] ---
    You too!
[08:06] ---
    Like a real idol!
[08:08] ---
    Really?
[08:09] ---
    I'd like you to see if the size fits.
[08:12] ---
    Okay!
[08:13] ---
    U-Um, my butt's a little...
[08:17] ---
    You're dressed already!
[08:19] ---
    Are those your stage outfits? Nice!
[08:21] ---
    But wouldn't it be sexier if you
    showed some skin around your belly?
[08:29] ---
    I challenge you for those clothes!
[08:32] ---
    Rock, paper, scissors!
    Look over there!
[08:35] ---
    I win!
[08:37] ---
    You're good, Mio-chan!
[08:38] ---
    That doesn't count, nya!
[08:40] ---
    Luck is a skill too, right?
[08:46] ---
    Okay, break.
[08:49] ---
    You're next. How long are
    you gonna pout, Maekawa?
[08:53] ---
    Okay...
[08:56] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[08:59] ---
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[09:03] ---
    Here you go, Anya-chan.
[09:07] ---
    Spasiba.
[09:11] ---
    Thank you, Minami.
[09:15] ---
    Minami, are they
    okay being so overworked?
[09:21] ---
    The concert's soon.
    So everyone's working hard.
[09:49] ---
    One, two, three, four! Knees
    more limber! Sides further apart!
[09:59] ---
    Uzuki-chan and the others
    were working really hard!
[10:06] ---
    Say something?
[10:08] ---
    Did you want to stand
    on stage with Mika-chan too?
[10:14] ---
    A backup dancer for
    an idol isn't rock at all.
[10:19] ---
    It's not?
[10:22] ---
    Maidens chosen by the eyes,
[10:25] ---
    let the drops of life well forth
    as you proceed towards the banquet.
[10:32] ---
    I will rest my coal-black wings briefly
    in preparation for the day to come.
[10:43] ---
    Hey, come to think
    of it, where's Anzu-chan?
[10:48] ---
    It's rarer for her
    to be here, right?
[11:05] ---
    Well, I'd say that's the bare
    minimum needed to pass.
[11:09] ---
    All right!
[11:10] ---
    Yeah!
[11:13] ---
    Parts of that were iffy though.
[11:16] ---
    Good work!
[11:18] ---
    Anya-chan.
[11:23] ---
    Pozhalujsta.
[11:27] ---
    - Thank you.
    - T-Thank you!
[11:30] ---
    No... How do
    you say it in Russian?
[11:33] ---
    U-Um...
[11:43] ---
    Pozdravlyayu.
[11:46] ---
    Congratulations.
    You all worked really hard.
[11:50] ---
    I'm sure the concert
    tomorrow will be wonderful.
[11:55] ---
    Is my Japanese right?
[11:59] ---
    Yeah.
[12:00] ---
    Yeah!
[12:04] ---
    Thank you.
[12:06] ---
    We'll do our best!
[12:07] ---
    Can I have one?
[12:09] ---
    Yes, go ahead.
[12:11] ---
    Thank you!
[12:16] ---
    Learn all you can
    from the veterans.
[12:19] ---
    This whole day will be
    a valuable experience for you.
[12:23] ---
    Okay!
[12:27] ---
    I still can't accept this, but you beat
    me, so I'm entrusting this to you!
[12:32] ---
    Good luck with your concert!
[12:34] ---
    We'll be watching with everyone!
[12:37] ---
    Okay, thanks!
[12:42] ---
    BACKUP DANCER CLASSROOM
[12:43] ---
    Thank you very much!
[12:45] ---
    Thank you very much.
[12:48] ---
    So this is backstage
    before a concert.
[12:51] ---
    Things are surprising the first time.
    I once helped sell––
[12:56] ---
    Come this way, everyone.
[13:03] ---
    Introduce yourselves to the performers.
[13:06] ---
    I-I-I'm Uzuki Shimamura,
    one of the backup dancers!
[13:12] ---
    I'm Mio Honda!
    I look forward to today!
[13:15] ---
    I'm Rin Shibuya.
    Nice to meet you.
[13:18] ---
    Nice to meet you!
[13:21] ---
    Is this your first concert?
[13:24] ---
    Yes!
[13:25] ---
    I-It's nerve-wracking, right?
    I've been nervous the whole day...
[13:31] ---
    Nice to meet you! Let's do
    our all to make this a hot concert!
[13:36] ---
    Your first concert,
    huh? That's wonderful.
[13:40] ---
    If there's anything you
    don't know, feel free to ask me.
[13:45] ---
    Hey, you're the girl
    I met before, right?
[13:48] ---
    - Yes, I am!
    - Glad you're here today.
[13:52] ---
    Morning!
[13:54] ---
    Morning!
[13:55] ---
    Good morning!
[13:56] ---
    Let's work hard today!
[13:58] ---
    Of course!
[13:59] ---
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[14:04] ---
    Good morning. I'm glad
    to be here with you today.
[14:09] ---
    We're glad to be here!
[14:21] ---
    Um, stage left...
[14:23] ---
    It's our left onstage.
[14:25] ---
    Stage right is our right.
[14:27] ---
    Um...
[14:28] ---
    Stage left is our left.
    Stage right is our right.
[14:40] ---
    So loud...
[14:42] ---
    That scared me.
[14:44] ---
    Mic check please.
[14:46] ---
    Hi! I'm Mika Jougasaki!
    Nice to meet you!
[14:50] ---
    Thanks. We'll cut the lights after
    the intro, and you can exit stage right.
[14:57] ---
    It's different
    from normal shoes.
[15:00] ---
    It's awkward if you're––
[15:02] ---
    Rehearsal!
[15:03] ---
    R-Right!
[15:05] ---
    Watch your heads!
[15:07] ---
    It moves pretty fast,
    so watch the landing!
[15:11] ---
    O-Okay!
[15:13] ---
    Three, two, one!
[15:24] ---
    Okay, cut for a second!
[15:30] ---
    Let's do this one more time!
[15:32] ---
    Okay!
[15:35] ---
    Um, can we do that one more time?
[15:37] ---
    I don't think we've got the time.
[15:41] ---
    What do I do, Rin-chan?
[15:43] ---
    I don't know, but let's at least
    try to practice along with the dancing.
[15:55] ---
    Excuse me! Can you up
    the volume on my speakers?
[16:03] ---
    Somehow I'm just not hungry.
[16:07] ---
    Yeah.
[16:13] ---
    Here's your change!
[16:17] ---
    This is it!
[16:19] ---
    Here? I wanted to be closer!
[16:22] ---
    But you can see
    a long way from here!
[16:27] ---
    Right?
[16:28] ---
    Oh, yeah.
[16:33] ---
    This place holds a lot
    of people, doesn't it?
[16:41] ---
    Let's see what you do, nya.
[16:44] ---
    Vse v porjadke...
[16:56] ---
    Here we go!
[16:58] ---
    Yeah!
[17:03] ---
    I'm getting nervous.
[17:05] ---
    It's starting!
[17:06] ---
    The ball begins at last!
[17:28] ---
    I-It's started, huh, Mio-chan?
[17:35] ---
    Mio-chan?
[17:36] ---
    Mio?
[17:39] ---
    You've been really quiet
    for a while. You okay?
[17:43] ---
    Have I?
[17:50] ---
    Okay, get ready.
[17:52] ---
    A-Already?
[17:53] ---
    Yeah. Thanks.
[18:05] ---
    Let's go.
[18:07] ---
    Y-Y-Yeah.
[18:10] ---
    You too, Uzuki.
[18:12] ---
    Right.
[18:15] ---
    It's okay. It'll go fine.
[18:18] ---
    Right!
[18:19] ---
    Yeah.
[18:22] ---
    Okay, let's go then!
[18:24] ---
    Yeah!
[18:25] ---
    Everyone!
[18:27] ---
    How you doing? Feeling good?
[18:30] ---
    Decided on a chant yet?
[18:32] ---
    A-A chant?
[18:34] ---
    You should have one.
[18:36] ---
    Why not your favorite food? Mine
    would be "Steaming! Hot! Rice!"
[18:45] ---
    Ch-Chocolate!
[18:48] ---
    P-Prosciutto e melone!
[18:50] ---
    Fried chicken!
[18:53] ---
    Rock, paper, scissors!
[18:57] ---
    Okay! Let's go have fun!
[19:02] ---
    Everybody's ready!
[19:08] ---
    Here we go!
[19:10] ---
    Five seconds! Four! Three!
[19:13] ---
    Fri! Ed! Chicken!
[19:32] ---
    TOKIMEKI ESCALATE
[19:34] ---
    Tokimeki keeps on escalating
[19:37] ---
    I'm in a love mode that pops like cider
[19:41] ---
    I share my heart with you without
    decorating it, so look at the real me
[19:55] ---
    Sometimes I want to forget about wanting
    to show off or pretend to be an adult
[20:02] ---
    I want to do all kinds of new things
    with you, like letting you spoil me
[20:08] ---
    When I'm doing my best
    alone under a dark sky
[20:15] ---
    You are the first star of
    the night, shining in my heart
[20:22] ---
    Dokidoki escalating forever
[20:25] ---
    The road to love feels like a maze
[20:29] ---
    I share my heart with you without
    decorating it, so look at the real me
[20:38] ---
    Keep looking at me
[20:42] ---
    T! O! K!
[20:48] ---
    Tokimeki!
[20:49] ---
    M! E! K!
[20:54] ---
    Tokimeki!
[21:04] ---
    Thanks, everybody!
[21:09] ---
    By the way, about
    today's backup dancers...
[21:13] ---
    They're still new, but I invited
    them to come on stage!
[21:20] ---
    Let's ask them what they thought.
[21:23] ---
    Well?
[21:27] ---
    Um...
[21:36] ---
    It was wonderful!
[21:46] ---
    The program's all done!
[21:48] ---
    Good work!
[21:56] ---
    Good job!
[21:58] ---
    That was a great first time!
    Guess I was right about you!
[22:02] ---
    Thank you!
[22:04] ---
    Thanks, Mika-nee!
[22:06] ---
    Thank you.
[22:10] ---
    Good work.
[22:11] ---
    The concert hall was really fired up!
[22:14] ---
    A great first concert, huh?
[22:17] ---
    I hope we can be
    together for the next concert.
[22:25] ---
    Good job.
[22:28] ---
    Producer-san! Um... thank you...
[22:33] ---
    Thank you for letting
    us be on stage today!
[22:39] ---
    It was a good concert.
[22:44] ---
    Mio-chan!
[22:47] ---
    Rin-chan!
[22:48] ---
    Shimamu...
[22:51] ---
    Shiburin!
[22:52] ---
    We did it! Our first
    concert was a success!
[22:56] ---
    It was all so sparkly!
    Idols are wonderful!
[23:01] ---
    Right?
[23:02] ---
    Right, Rin-chan?
[23:05] ---
    Yeah.
[23:09] ---
    Good work today.
[23:12] ---
    I hope you'll apply
    what you've learned here today.
[23:16] ---
    Right!
[23:17] ---
    It was a wonderful concert.
[23:20] ---
    I hope the staff and performers
    will keep the success in mind
[23:24] ---
    as we head towards our next concert.
[23:28] ---
    - You did okay––
    - You shone so much!
[23:31] ---
    You'll be in the next one?
[23:33] ---
    I want in!
[23:34] ---
    I want to be on stage too, nya!
[23:43] ---
    Is this really real?
[23:48] ---
    It was like a dream, wasn't it?
[23:51] ---
    Yeah.

    EPISODE 4
