    Mogami
[00:01] Shizuka
    I'm off.
[00:07] Shizuka Dad
    Don't stay out late.
[00:14] Mirai
    Shizuka-chan, you're finally
    rehearsing with Chihaya-san?
[00:18] Tsubasa
    That's amazing.
[00:19] Shizuka
    Y-You think so?
[00:22] (Flashback) Chief P
    Chihaya will be performing
    at a charity concert.
[00:26] (Flashback) Chief P
    We've been preparing with the event
    sponsor since the planning stage,
[00:29] (Flashback) Chief P
    but the foreign artists who were scheduled
    to perform suddenly can't attend, so...
[00:36] (Flashback) Chihaya
    We'd like you to perform instead.
[00:39] (Flashback) Shizuka
    What? You want me?
[00:45] (Flashback) Chief P
    We're planning to ask a few others, too.
[00:48] (Flashback) Chief P
    We'd like you to sing a solo
    song and in the chorus.
[00:51] (Flashback) Chihaya
    We know this is an important time for you,
    with your debut and theater opening coming up.
[00:55] (Flashback) Chihaya
    Think it over.
[00:57] (Flashback) Chihaya
    But I think—
[00:59] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I'll do it.
[01:01] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I'd like to do it.
[01:04] (Flashback) Shizuka
    Please let me do it.
[01:07] Kaori
    Chihaya-san must trust you.
[01:10] Shizuka
    I'm not so sure.
[01:12] (Flashback) Chihaya
    I don't know how your father feels,
    but I think you've already got it...
[01:21] (Flashback) Chihaya
    What an idol needs.
[01:28] Shizuka
    But I need to do my best.
[01:30] Tsubasa
    They're streaming it live, too.
[01:32] Shizuka
    Yeah.
[01:33] Tsumugi
    I'm sure a lot of people will see it.
[01:36] Mirai
    Shizuka-chan, isn't this an opportunity
    for your dad to see you?
[01:41] Shizuka
    Huh?
[01:42] Mirai
    I'm sure he'll allow you
    to continue being an idol.

    What an Idol Needs
[03:20] Chief P
    Shiho, Serika, and Shizuka.
    In addition to singing in the chorus,
[03:24] Chief P
    we'd like you to sing the solo songs
    the guests were going to perform.
[03:28] All
    Yes, sir.
[03:29] Chihaya
    I'm sorry. I know you're busy.
[03:31] Serika
    No, I'm actually really glad you asked.
[03:33] Chief P
    There's not much time until the event,
    and you've got a lot of songs to learn.
[03:38] Shiho
    We'll be ready in time.
[03:39] Shizuka
    Yes.
[03:41] Chihaya
    Thank you. Shall we get started, then?
[03:44] Kana
    They're so lucky. I wish
    Chihaya-san would coach me.
[03:47] Nao
    I bet they'll learn a lot.
[03:50] Anna
    I wish I could've learned from her, too.
[03:54] Kana
    Should we ask if she'll coach us, too?
[03:57] Rio
    Good idea. The theater opening is coming up.
[04:01] Fuka
    So is Team8th's debut.
[04:03] Mirai
    Yeah.
[04:05] Tsumugi
    I'm nervous.
[04:06] Kaori
    We'll be fine as long as we practice.
[04:09] Mirai
    Yeah! So let's get started!
[04:11] Tsubasa
    What? Already?
[04:26] Kana
    It's Chihaya-san.
[04:28] Rio
    It's only the first day, right?
[04:31] Mirai
    Wow.
[04:48] Chihaya
    That's enough for today.
[04:51] Both
    Okay.
[04:54] Chihaya
    I think you've all improved since we started.
[04:57] Chihaya
    We'll begin practicing
    your solo songs tomorrow.
[05:00] Shiho
    We'll write lyrics for them.
[05:02] Chihaya
    Good. Well, see you tomorrow.
[05:05] Both
    See you tomorrow.
[05:06] Shizuka
    See you tomorrow.
[05:14] Shiho
    We've only just started.
[05:23] Elena
    Hello, everyone!
[05:26] Serika
    Elena-san and Kotoha-san!
[05:28] Kotoha
    It's amazing that you get to
    perform at Chihaya-san's concert.
[05:32] Elena
    We're excited for the event.
[05:34] Kotoha
    I bet your dad is excited, too.
[05:38] Serika
    Dad won't be coming.
[05:39] Serika
    We're fighting right now.
[05:41] Both
    What?
[05:42] Shiho
    I thought you were close.
[05:44] Elena
    Why are you fighting?
[05:46] Serika
    Because he tried to lengthen my skirt
    without talking to me first!
[05:51] Both
    What?
[05:52] Kotoha
    Lengthen your skirt?
[05:55] Shiho
    You mean he thought it was too short?
[05:57] Serika
    Yes. Isn't that awful?
[06:01] Elena
    Your father's just worried about you.
[06:03] Serika
    Well... Yes, perhaps, but...
[06:07] Serika
    Still, I can't lengthen my skirt.
[06:14] Mirai
    Chihaya-san is really amazing, huh?
[06:17] Shizuka
    Yes. Her voice, pitch, and expressiveness...
[06:22] Shizuka
    I need to catch up as quickly as possible.
[06:26] Shizuka
    And...
[06:28] Shizuka
    Like you said, I want to learn to sing better
    so my father will take me seriously.
[06:38] Sign
    Mogami
[06:38] Shizuka
    I'm home.
[06:45] Shizuka/Id
    I want him to acknowledge my abilities.
[06:49] Sign
    Let's do
     our best
    together
[06:50] Shizuka/Id
    So I need to be more like Chihaya-san
[06:53] Shizuka/Id
    and keep singing with her forever.
[06:58] Shizuka/Id
    To do that,
[07:01] Shizuka/Id
    I need to get better.
[07:03] Shizuka/Id
    Much better.
[07:06] Shizuka/Id
    I need to perform like I never have before.
[07:11] Shizuka/Id
    I need to live up to
    everyone's expectations.
[07:15] Shizuka/Id
    I need to make my father
    recognize my performance.
[07:22] Shizuka/Id
    But...
[07:24] Serika
    Okay.
[07:25] Chihaya
    Also, Mogami-sa—
[07:30] Shizuka/Id
    I'm the only one who can't get there.
[07:39] (Flashback) Miki
    Because you're not trying your hardest.
[07:46] Mirai
    Shizuka-chan's performance is coming up.
[07:48] Tsubasa
    Mirai.
[07:51] Mirai
    I wish I could do something to help.
[07:57] Chief P
    Shizuka's really worried, huh?
[08:00] Chihaya
    I wish I could give her advice,
    but I'm not used to teaching others.
[08:06] Newbie P
    Maybe she's lost sight of her surroundings
[08:09] Newbie P
    because she's desperate
    for her father's approval.
[08:12] Chief P
    Then maybe we should help shift her focus.

    Charity Concert!
[08:19] Chihaya
    Good work today.
[08:21] Chihaya
    I think you've improved
    a lot in a short time.
[08:24] Serika
    Thank you!
[08:27] Chihaya
    Anyway, Mogami-san...
[08:29] Shizuka
    Huh?
[08:31] Chihaya
    I'd like to go somewhere together tomorrow.
[08:40] Tsubasa
    Are you sure it was okay for us to come?
[08:42] Newbie P
    Yeah. You're worried
    about Shizuka, aren't you?
[08:58] Tsubasa
    Wow. They're going to be singing here?
[09:03] Sponsor
    I've been waiting for you.
[09:08] Newbie P
    Thank you for letting us come today.
[09:10] Chihaya
    Sorry for the sudden request.
[09:11] Chihaya
    We wanted to see the space before the event.
[09:15] Sponsor
    Not at all.
[09:17] Sponsor
    Take your time looking around.
[09:20] Sister 2
    A kitty!
[09:21] Shiho
    Huh?
[09:23] Sister 2
    It's cute.
[09:24] Sister 2
    Hey, she's got a cute kitty!
[09:27] Mother
    Don't bother them.
[09:29] Sister 2
    Aw, but...
[09:31] Mirai
    Hello.
[09:41] Sponsor
    We started holding these concerts
[09:45] Sponsor
    in the hopes that they'd bring relief
    to people who have lost family.
[09:50] Tsubasa
    I see.
[09:51] Sponsor
    Every year I'm reminded that, more than words,
[09:54] Sponsor
    music has the power to sway people's hearts.
[09:59] Sponsor
    I'm sure it's true for that family, as well.
[10:04] Sponsor
    They've helped us in the past,
    and the father recently passed away.
[10:10] Mirai
    Them, too?
[10:23] Mirai
    Chihaya-san?
[12:15] Chihaya
    Thank you.
[12:16] Sister 1
    That was beautiful.
[12:19] Sister 2
    It was so pretty!
[12:21] Chihaya
    Thank you.
[12:23] Sister 1
    Thank you, as well.
[12:29] Shizuka
    No, thank you.
[12:43] Serika
    I hope my dad comes.
[12:46] Serika
    I want to make him smile like that.
[12:50] Mirai
    You should totally have him come!
[12:52] Mirai
    You were all great!
[12:54] Tsubasa
    Yeah!
[12:56] Shiho
    Looks like you got over something.
[12:59] Shizuka
    I think I know why I've been struggling.
[13:05] Shizuka
    I could only see myself.
[13:09] Shizuka
    I was too focused on my father's approval.
[13:12] Shizuka
    I lost sight of what's important,
[13:17] Shizuka
    like my own desire to sing
    and my desire to sing for others.
[13:24] Shizuka
    My father will surely approve if I do my best.
[13:32] Shizuka
    Right now, I should be looking
    at the music and our audience.
[13:36] Mirai
    Shizuka-chan...
[13:38] Mirai
    Sorry. It's because I said your dad
    could watch you perform, right?
[13:42] Shizuka
    No, it's fine. I really do want
    my father to see me perform.
[13:49] Shizuka
    I'm sure he will someday.
[13:54] Tsubasa
    Someday...
[13:56] Newbie P
    Good luck at your final practice.
[13:59] Serika
    Thank you.
[14:02] Newbie P
    You two are leaving now, right?
[14:05] Newbie P
    I'll walk with you partway.
[14:08] Newbie P
    Mirai?
[14:11] Mirai
    Mister Producer,
    let's go talk to him after all.
[14:14] Newbie P
    Huh?
[14:25] Shizuka Dad
    What is it?
[14:28] Newbie P
    Shizuka-san is performing
    at a concert tomorrow.
[14:31] Shizuka Dad
    Another little show of yours?
[14:38] Newbie P
    No.
[14:41] Newbie P
    No, you're not wrong.
[14:43] Newbie P
    It's a charity concert sponsored
    by a charity organization.
[14:49] Newbie P
    But it's the same.
[14:51] Newbie P
    The scale of the space or number
    of audience members is irrelevant.
[14:56] Newbie P
    They all did their best then, too,
[14:59] Newbie P
    like Shizuka-san is now.
[15:02] Newbie P
    They're all doing their best
    to perform as idols.
[15:06] Shizuka Dad
    That's not—
[15:07] Mirai
    Shizuka-chan's singing
    is way better this time!
[15:12] Tsubasa
    She's awesome!
[15:14] Tsubasa
    She's worked hard through her worries.
    She's serious about all of it.
[15:18] Tsubasa
    You won't be able to take your eyes off her.
[15:19] Tsubasa
    I know I can't.
[15:21] Mirai
    Please come see her perform.
[15:26] Mirai
    I actually wish you'd watch her
    more than once, not just tomorrow.
[15:30] Mirai
    Shizuka-chan really wants to become an idol.
[15:34] Mirai
    She's been amazing ever since
    she first sang for me.
[15:39] Mirai
    It'd be a waste if I was the
    only one who ever saw it.
[15:42] Mirai
    I look up to her. It's my dream, and
    I want us to make it come true together.
[15:49] Mirai
    So please come see her!
[15:51] Mirai
    I know Shizuka-chan will be amazing tomorrow!
[15:59] Mirai
    Maybe he won't come.
[16:03] Newbie P
    No, I think you got through to him.
[16:07] Newbie P
    Thanks.

    Shizuka-chan's dad isn't here.

    Your doubts are gone, aren't they?
[17:07] Shizuka
    Yes.
[17:08] Serika
    Let's do our best.

    Shall we?
[17:12] All
    Yes.
[17:18] Chihaya

    We hope every one of you has
    a heartwarming time tonight.

    Song by Mogami Shizuka
[19:44] Shizuka/Id
    I'm a coward. I quickly lose
    sight of my surroundings.
[19:50] Shizuka/Id
    But now I can face forward
[19:54] Shizuka/Id
    because I have something I want to say,
[19:56] Shizuka/Id
    a song I want to sing,
[19:58] Shizuka/Id

    So I...
[21:11] Shiho
    "Gift Sign"...
[21:17] Newbie P
    I believe Shizuka-san
    possesses an incredible talent.
[21:21] Newbie P
    Her desire to become an idol
    is a precious talent.
[21:26] Newbie P
    The strength of her desire
    propels her forward,
[21:31] Newbie P
    which allows her to soothe her
    audience and encourage them.
[21:40] (Flashback) Shizuka
    Dad.
[21:42] (Flashback) Shizuka
    Are you okay?
[21:44] (Flashback) Shizuka
    I'll cheer you up with a song.
[21:57] Shizuka Dad
    I know that.
[22:01] Newbie P
    I promise Shizuka-san
    will become a great idol.
[22:04] Newbie P
    I'll make sure she does, so—
[22:06] Shizuka D
    It won't be easy.
[22:09] Shizuka D
    After all, she's stubborn like me.

    That was a wonderful concert

    You took a gift to the theater?

    That's right.

    Thank you. I had a ring-shaped
    fried dough confection, as well.
[23:40] Girl 4
    What's that?
[23:41] Girl 5
    A donut, maybe?
[23:42] Girl 3
    I also had shredded tuna
    between slices of baked dough.
[23:46] Girl 4
    What's that?
[23:47] Girl 5
    A tuna sandwich, maybe?
[23:49] Girl 3
    I brought energizing recovery beverages.
