**[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.
**[23:56] ---**
EPISODE 4
