[00:02] ---
    Natural?
[00:04] ---
    That's cruel!
[00:05] ---
    Why?
[00:07] ---
    Because I'm the leader?
[00:10] ---
    Forget it!
[00:12] ---
    I'm gonna give up on being an idol!
[00:19] ---
    Mio, are you serious?
[00:22] ---
    Mio-chan!
[00:24] ---
    After all, I...
[00:29] ---
    Mio-chan will come, right?
[00:33] ---
    Don't tell me she's really...
[00:39] ---
    Producer-san!
[00:44] ---
    Hey, Mio's not here.
[00:49] ---
    So it seems.
[00:51] ---
    That's all?
[00:54] ---
    U-Um, I thought I'd
    try going to her house...
[01:01] ---
    Tell us her address.
[01:06] ---
    Please
[01:08] ---
    leave this to me.
[01:16] ---
    EPISODE 7
[01:17] ---
    Mio-chan's not coming, huh?
[01:20] ---
    Maybe she's tired from
    the miniconcert or something...
[01:26] ---
    Is Mio-chan quitting?
[01:29] ---
    Then is New Generations disbanding?
[01:33] ---
    Even though they just
    made their debut yesterday.
[01:37] ---
    Then she's unfit to be a pro, nya!
[01:40] ---
    Even though they
    debuted before we did...
[01:44] ---
    - Rin-chan!
    - Shibuya-san, you okay?
[01:46] ---
    Y-Yes...
[02:10] ---
    Sis, some producer
    guy is here to see you.
[02:15] ---
    Send him away.
[02:17] ---
    Tell him yourself.
[02:23] ---
    I don't want to see you.
[02:25] ---
    Don't come to my house.
[02:29] ---
    Let me have a minute...
[02:31] ---
    I said I don't wanna see you.
[02:34] ---
    Go away.
[02:39] ---
    Everyone's waiting for you.
[02:44] ---
    This isn't an issue
    for you alone...
[02:47] ---
    I know that!
[02:54] ---
    Producer-san!
[02:56] ---
    Did you see Mio?
[03:00] ---
    She turned you away?
[03:03] ---
    Um, I think we should
    go to Mio-chan's house after all.
[03:09] ---
    Tell us her address.
[03:11] ---
    I can't do that.
[03:14] ---
    Why not?
[03:16] ---
    If she says she doesn't
    want to see anyone now,
[03:20] ---
    I'd like to respect her wishes.
[03:24] ---
    And that's it?
[03:28] ---
    I have something to do.
[03:29] ---
    Wait!
[03:35] ---
    Is it okay to let him handle this?
[03:42] ---
    Uzuki...
[03:45] ---
    Something wrong?
[03:46] ---
    Sorry.
[03:49] ---
    With everything going on,
    maybe I'm just tired.
[04:18] ---
    Oh. Nobody's here yet.
[04:41] ---
    Uzuki isn't here...
[04:44] ---
    She called.
[04:48] ---
    She doesn't feel well,
    so she's taking the day off.
[04:52] ---
    What about Mio?
[04:55] ---
    I haven't been
    able to get in touch yet.
[05:02] ---
    What's going to happen with us?
[05:06] ---
    If Mio doesn't come back...
[05:11] ---
    I'm making arrangements.
[05:12] ---
    Arrangements? What do you mean?
[05:15] ---
    Um, I'd like everyone
    to do what they can.
[05:24] ---
    I can't.
[05:26] ---
    What is this situation?
[05:28] ---
    What do you intend to do?
    Give me a decent answer.
[05:34] ---
    I admit there has been
    a difference in outlook.
[05:38] ---
    Then even more so!
    Why don't you just bring Mio back?
[05:43] ---
    She doesn't seem to be herself yet...
[05:52] ---
    Don't escape.
[05:57] ---
    Remember what you said?
[05:59] ---
    That if I came here, there
    would be a different world.
[06:04] ---
    When I performed onstage the first time.
    When I heard our own finished song...
[06:10] ---
    It felt like I was going to find it.
[06:14] ---
    Something I can
    be passionate about.
[06:18] ---
    But right now, I don't feel it.
[06:24] ---
    Tell me. What do you mean
    by "difference in outlook"?
[06:29] ---
    Why won't you bring Mio back?
[06:34] ---
    What are you thinking?
[06:41] ---
    I'm sorry.
[06:47] ---
    And I thought I could trust you...
[06:55] ---
    Rin-chan?
[06:56] ---
    What do you mean she went home, nya?
[06:59] ---
    I didn't have time to say anything.
[07:01] ---
    I guess Uzuki-chan is also off today.
[07:06] ---
    They may really be disbanding...
[07:11] ---
    Maybe because I invited
    them to participate in my concert...
[07:16] ---
    What should we do, Sis?
[07:18] ---
    What did your producer say?
[07:22] ---
    Nothing...
[07:24] ---
    I don't know what he's thinking.
[07:30] ---
    Oh, you're home early.
[08:00] ---
    And that's the outline
    for the next event.
[08:05] ---
    If there's anything you don't
    understand, please ask.
[08:09] ---
    Okay.
[08:12] ---
    Excuse me.
[08:15] ---
    Um...
[08:20] ---
    How did you feel about
    the performance the other night?
[08:30] ---
    When we were on stage,
    my mind was a blank,
[08:33] ---
    so it was all I could do to just sing.
[08:37] ---
    But after we finished
    singing, the people clapped.
[08:43] ---
    I was so happy,
    thinking this was our first step,
[08:49] ---
    but now, under these circumstances...
[08:53] ---
    I do not know what to do.
[09:01] ---
    Your fever's down anyway.
[09:04] ---
    Take it easy for the day.
[09:08] ---
    Maybe I made Rin-chan worry about me...
[09:14] ---
    I'm sure Mio-chan will
    go in today, right?
[09:24] ---
    What is it, Mama?
[09:28] ---
    How do you feel?
[09:36] ---
    I apologize for just showing up.
[09:39] ---
    I just wanted
    to drop off a get-well gift,
[09:43] ---
    but your mother
    insisted I check on you.
[09:48] ---
    U-Um...
[09:50] ---
    I'll just leave it here...
[09:54] ---
    Get well soon.
[09:56] ---
    P-Producer-san!
[10:00] ---
    U-Um, please wait for me downstairs.
[10:04] ---
    I'll be right there.
[10:11] ---
    I apologize for getting
    a cold at such an important time.
[10:20] ---
    Don't worry about it.
[10:21] ---
    Is she doing a good job being an idol?
[10:26] ---
    Yes.
[10:27] ---
    The last concert had her so nervous
    all she did was practice on her own.
[10:34] ---
    And then...
[10:35] ---
    M-Mama! Enough!
[10:39] ---
    Take your time.
[10:45] ---
    My mom likes to talk...
[10:52] ---
    Do you have a cold too?
[10:56] ---
    You seem kind of listless.
[11:00] ---
    No.
[11:07] ---
    I wonder what kind
    of work we'll do next!
[11:14] ---
    What do you want
    to do from here on out?
[11:22] ---
    I've wanted to be
    on stage and have been.
[11:25] ---
    I made my CD debut and got
    to be on a radio show too.
[11:31] ---
    It'd be cool if I could
    be on TV next time.
[11:38] ---
    Um... Actually, about
    that last mini-event...
[11:44] ---
    I feel some regret...
[11:48] ---
    Even though it was a chance to perform,
    I didn't smile all the way to the end.
[11:58] ---
    So the next time we perform on stage,
    I want to smile all the way through.
[12:04] ---
    With Rin-chan and Mio-chan!
[12:11] ---
    I'll be better tomorrow.
[12:15] ---
    Don't push yourself.
[12:17] ---
    Okay.
[12:22] ---
    Producer-san! I look forward
    to working again starting tomorrow!
[12:42] ---
    P-Producer!
[12:45] ---
    Tell us.
[12:47] ---
    What'll happen to this division?
[12:49] ---
    What about Mio-chan and Rin-chan?
[12:52] ---
    Are they going to quit?
[12:55] ---
    It's like a snowball
    rolling downhill...
[12:58] ---
    I finally...
[13:00] ---
    I finally believed I just
    needed to be patient about debuting...
[13:04] ---
    What should we do?
[13:06] ---
    It's okay.
[13:10] ---
    New Generations isn't breaking up.
[13:13] ---
    And no one is going to quit.
[13:16] ---
    I promise...
[13:19] ---
    I promise I'll bring them both back.
[13:23] ---
    So please wait here.
[13:42] ---
    Hi. What's wrong, everyone?
[13:47] ---
    Um, we're...
[13:50] ---
    ...waiting for the producer.
[13:54] ---
    Well, shall I tell you
    a story in the meantime?
[13:59] ---
    A story?
[14:00] ---
    Yes. Once upon a time, there
    was a very straightforward, upright man.
[14:08] ---
    He always
    straightforwardly led the way.
[14:12] ---
    So that the Cinderellas would head down
    the right path, it was straight ahead.
[14:18] ---
    But depending on time and circumstances,
    sometimes even with the correct path,
[14:25] ---
    even with straightforward guidance,
    the results are a mess.
[14:30] ---
    In the end,
    several Cinderellas left the man.
[14:36] ---
    From then on, the man became a coward.
[14:41] ---
    And he became a silent chariot that
    will take the Cinderellas to the palace.
[14:51] ---
    That's...
[14:54] ---
    ...the producer?
[14:59] ---
    Well, let's wait a little longer
    to see if the spell can be broken.
[15:11] ---
    Shimamu, I'm sorry.
[15:15] ---
    I'm a failure as a leader.
[15:32] ---
    Downstairs right now?
[15:38] ---
    Why?
[15:41] ---
    After what I said...
[15:45] ---
    Hey!
[15:48] ---
    I'm sorry. He looked suspicious to me...
[15:59] ---
    Well...
[16:01] ---
    Please wait!
[16:05] ---
    I told you I was quitting.
[16:21] ---
    Honda-san!
[16:23] ---
    Please hear me out once more!
[16:32] ---
    What is this?
[16:34] ---
    Photos from the event.
[16:38] ---
    What the heck?
    I'm not smiling at all.
[16:43] ---
    The other day, when I said
    the results were "natural,"
[16:47] ---
    I didn't mean that it was a failure.
[16:52] ---
    I think it was a success.
[16:58] ---
    How? Even the audience wasn't into it...
[17:04] ---
    Look at the next one.
[17:11] ---
    I think those are nice smiles.
[17:15] ---
    True, apart from friends and relatives,
    there weren't that many people.
[17:20] ---
    But those people stayed in one
    place and listened to your song.
[17:35] ---
    Even though they clapped...
[17:38] ---
    I'm such a loser.
[17:41] ---
    No, I should have...
[17:43] ---
    I was so busy counting heads...
[17:50] ---
    I see.
[17:52] ---
    Then it wasn't a failure.
[17:56] ---
    Jeez! Then that makes
    me an even bigger jerk!
[18:00] ---
    My misunderstanding
    ruined it for everyone...
[18:05] ---
    And then I ran away,
    even though
[18:10] ---
    I'm the leader...
[18:12] ---
    I'm hopeless!
[18:17] ---
    Honda-san, come back with me.
[18:22] ---
    How can I look them in the eye?
[18:26] ---
    After the trouble I caused...
[18:29] ---
    That's exactly why you
    can't leave things like this.
[18:35] ---
    I can't afford to lose you three.
[19:08] ---
    Let's begin a fresh
    evolution, revolution, generation...
[19:30] ---
    Shiburin!
[19:34] ---
    Mio...
[19:36] ---
    Producer...
[19:39] ---
    Shiburin, I...
[19:46] ---
    I'm sorry!
[19:49] ---
    I'm sorry for saying I quit...
[19:53] ---
    For running away, even
    though I'm the leader...
[19:57] ---
    And for causing trouble!
[20:00] ---
    But I don't want it to end like this!
[20:05] ---
    I want to continue being idols together!
[20:14] ---
    Shibuya-san...
[20:17] ---
    You were right.
[20:19] ---
    I may have been trying to escape.
[20:24] ---
    From facing you girls eye to eye.
[20:30] ---
    I made you all confused,
[20:33] ---
    
    and that hurt you.
[20:38] ---
    I hate this.
[20:41] ---
    I'm still not really clear
    on what an idol is.
[20:45] ---
    Things started, even though I was in
    the dark. I got this far in the dark...
[20:52] ---
    But I hate things as they are.
[20:56] ---
    Not knowing who to
    trust when I feel lost...
[21:01] ---
    I can't stand it.
[21:12] ---
    I'll try harder.
[21:13] ---
    So you can trust
    everyone one more time...
[21:29] ---
    Shiburin!
[21:33] ---
    Let's try to find
    it together once more...
[21:38] ---
    What you can be passionate about.
[21:48] ---
    I'm looking forward to
    working with you again from tomorrow.
[21:53] ---
    Me too!
[22:02] ---
    I'm sorry!
[22:05] ---
    Rin-chan! Mio-chan!
[22:09] ---
    Thank goodness!
[22:11] ---
    I'm sorry...
[22:16] ---
    Thank you for waiting, everyone.
[22:22] ---
    Again, I want to move
    forward with the Cinderella Project.
[22:27] ---
    Let's climb up the
    stairs together, one step at a time.
[22:32] ---
    Yeah!
[22:37] ---
    Excuse me, Producer!
[22:39] ---
    Why not try speaking more casually?
[22:43] ---
    True, he is a bit stiff, nya.
[22:46] ---
    A time to climb over that steep wall.
[22:48] ---
    I think that's a good idea too!
[22:51] ---
    I agree!
[22:53] ---
    I also think it's a good idea!
[22:55] ---
    I also think... it would be...
[22:59] ---
    ...easier to talk to you that way!
[23:02] ---
    I will... make an effort.
[23:11] ---
    Why don't you go in?
[23:14] ---
    I'm an outsider, so I'll hang back.
[23:34] ---
    I'm looking forward to the next stage.
[23:41] ---
    You're always determined, Uzuki.
[23:43] ---
    That's kind of cool.
[23:49] ---
    Okay, then one more time...
[23:53] ---
    Fried... chicken!
[23:56] ---
