[00:00] Momoko
And if you're confused about anything
during rehearsal, say something. Got it?
[00:06] Iku
Yeah. I'll ask right away.
[00:08] Mirai
Good morning.
[00:10] Both
Good morning.
[00:12] Tsubasa
Momoko-chan and Iku-chan, your
debut event is coming up, right?
[00:15] Momoko
Yeah. I'm on Team4th, and Iku is Team5th.
[00:20] Shizuka
You're performing simultaneously
in two different locations, right?
[00:23] Newbie P
Yeah, to attract attention.
[00:25] Newbie P
These two teams will be the first to
perform in front of a general audience.
[00:29] Iku
Momoko-chan was just telling
me what to do at the event.
[00:34] Mirai
Yeah?
[00:35] Shizuka
Makes sense. She's a former child actress.
[00:38] Mirai
What were you teaching her?
[00:40] Momoko
I-I just told her what's
expected of a professional.
[00:45] Newbie P
Well, we should get going.
[00:47] Iku
Okay. See you later.
[00:49] Mirai
We'll be cheering for you.
[00:51] Iku
Thanks. Momoko-chan, good luck.
[00:54] Momoko
Of course. I always succeed
at everything I do.
[00:58] Chizuru
Everyone on Team3rd is so wonderful.
[01:02] Konomi
If I'd been there, my overflowing
sexiness might've caused problems.
[01:08] Nao
I bet people would've loved
seeing you a swimsuit, Chizuru.
[01:11] Chizuru
W-Well, my overflowing celebrity
might have caused problems.
[01:19] Momoko
Good morning.
[01:20] Konomi
Good morning.
[01:22] Konomi
Everyone's here.
[01:25] Konomi
Okay, Team4th, sound off.
[01:29] Konomi
Momoko-chan.
[01:30] Momoko
Pleasure to work with all of you.
[01:31] Nao
Whoa, like a pro.
[01:34] Konomi
Arisa-chan.
[01:35] Arisa
H-Here.
[01:36] Konomi
Nao-chan.
[01:37] Nao
Right here!
[01:38] Konomi
Roco-chan.
[01:41] Chizuru
She said your name, Coro-chan.
[01:43] Roco
Oh, here. But my name is Roco, not Coro.
[01:47] Konomi
And Chizuru-chan.
[01:49] Chizuru
Here. I look forward to
working with all of you.
[01:52] Konomi
Looks like everyone's here.
[01:54] Nao
You're full of energy this morning, leader.
[01:57] Konomi
Of course I am. After all...
[01:59] Newbie P
Konomi-san, thanks for
leading the group today.
[02:03] Konomi
I'll handle things here.
[02:05] Konomi
It's best if you go with Team5th.
[02:09] Konomi
There are no grown-ups in that group.
[02:11] Newbie P
Thank you.
[02:13] Newbie P
I've discussed the plan with the event staff.
[02:17] Newbie P
But if anything happens,
let me know right aw—
[02:19] Konomi
We'll be fine. Don't worry about us.
[02:22] Konomi
You can count on me.
[02:26] Newbie P
Thank you.
[02:28] Konomi
Okay, Team4th, let's go!
SIGN Episode 8
A Performance for Change
[04:04] Nao
Team4th have gotta nail our performance, too.
[04:07] Nao
People got real excited
for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.
[04:11] Roco
My passion is already exploding!
[04:15] Nao
Wow, it sure is!
[04:18] Konomi
We'd better follow up strong.
[04:20] Chizuru
Indeed.
[04:21] Nao
We'll make this the most
exciting performance yet.
[04:26] Arisa
U-Um, Momoko-chan-senpai...
[04:28] Momoko
Huh?
[04:29] Nao
What's with the "chan-senpai?"
[04:31] Arisa
She's an entertainment
industry veteran, after all.
[04:34] Arisa
Since we're on the same team,
I watched the TV shows you appeared in.
[04:39] Arisa
There are a lot of them, huh?
[04:41] Momoko
Of course. I'm an actress.
[04:43] Arisa
This was my favorite.
[04:46] Arisa
Child Actress Detective Momoko-chan.

[04:48] Arisa

[04:51] Nao
Hey, I know that show.
[04:53] Sign

[04:53] Arisa

[04:57] Arisa
with child actress Momoko-chan living
a double life as a detective.

[05:03] Arisa

I'm no ordinary child actress.

[05:31] Arisa
Momoko-chan-senpai?
[05:33] Momoko
What?
[05:35] Arisa
Is something wrong?
[05:37] Momoko
No. I've worked a lot of jobs,
so I don't remember the specifics.
[05:44] Chizuru
What? You started as an office worker?
[05:46] Konomi
Yeah. I worked in an office for about
two years after graduating college,
[05:51] Konomi
but the company suddenly went under.
[05:53] Chizuru
Oh, my. Did you receive
unemployment insurance?
[05:56] Konomi
Y-Yeah. I'm surprised a socialite
like you knows about that.
[06:01] Chizuru
Well, my customers—
[06:03] Chizuru
I mean, the other members of high
society have had all kinds of experiences.
[06:08] Chizuru
Anyway, what happened after that?
[06:11] Konomi
While looking for my next job,
I found an admin position at 765PRO.
[06:17] Konomi
When I went for the interview,
[06:20] Konomi
they thought I was there for the
idol audition, and I was scouted.
[06:25] Chizuru
I see.
[06:27] Chizuru
What a fateful misunderstanding.
[06:30] Chizuru
Sometimes our lives take unexpected turns.
[06:36] Konomi
You're right.
[06:38] Nao
We can't let our MCing or performance
be overshadowed by these attractions!
[06:44] Nao
Not in either show today!
[06:46] Momoko
Of course. After all, we're professionals.
[06:49] Arisa
The stage we're performing on is said
to be the holy land of idol events.
[06:53] Konomi
This is it.

Huh?
[07:07] All
What?!
[07:09] Nao
This is our stage, right?
[07:12] Momoko
What's going on?
[07:13] Male Staff A
Good morning.
[07:15] Konomi
Good morning. What happened here?
[07:17] Male Staff A
The water pipe running
beneath the stage broke.
[07:21] All
What?
[07:24] Male Staff A
You'll be performing on this stage instead.
[07:33] Roco
It's rather retro, isn't it?
[07:37] Nao
We'll have to be careful.
[07:38] Male Staff A
It doesn't get used anymore,
but the sound system still works.
[07:44] Newbie P
I just heard the news, too.
It's pretty old, right?
[07:48] Konomi
Well, yes.
[07:50] Newbie P
It sounds like you'll still be
able to follow the plan.
[07:53] Konomi
Then I think we'll manage somehow.
Don't worry, producer.
[07:59] Konomi
How are things over there?
[08:00] Newbie P
It's going smoothly for now...

Now let's pump up that audience.
[08:22] Nao
You're right. We're finally debuting!
[08:24] Nao
Let's give it everything we've got!
[08:26] All
Yeah!
[08:27] Momoko
Something always goes wrong on the job.
[08:30] Female Staff C
Please welcome MILLIONSTARS Team4th.
[08:34] Konomi
Hello, everyone!
[08:36] Konomi
Huh?
[08:42] Nao
Is the park even open?
[08:47] Nao
Of course it is!
[08:52] Chizuru
Wh-Why don't you cheer up
by having some of these?
[08:58] Chizuru
Right.
[09:00] Roco
I can't believe how minimal our audience was.
[09:03] Arisa
B-But a few people showed up.
In total, there were... uh...
[09:09] Arisa
One, two, three... four, five...
[09:13] Nao
You counted the cats, didn't you?
[09:15] Arisa
Y-Yes.
[09:18] Momoko
This is nothing like the
previous debut events.
[09:21] Chizuru
Our biggest problem is the stage's location.
[09:25] Chizuru
There's no traffic back here.
[09:28] Nao
Is the second show gonna be like that, too?
SIGN How are things over there?
SIGN Our stage was flooded,
so we changed venues.

at the signing haven't arrived
yet!
[09:48] Iku

[09:50] Iku
The CDs we're handing out at
the signing haven't arrived yet!
[09:54] Iku
Apparently they're stuck in traffic.

[09:54] Sign

[09:58] Iku
We have to find something to do
onstage until the CDs arrive.
[10:02] Miyo
What about an Akane-chan quiz or an
Akane-chan improv show or Akane-chan werewolf?
[10:08] Akane
Uh, I'm glad I'm so heavily
featured in all your ideas,
[10:12] Akane
but you're allowed to do
something too, Miyo-chan.
[10:14] Sign
We have to find
something to do onstage
until the CDs arrive.
[10:14] Sign
Do your best!!
[10:19] Konomi
Let's move past this and do
our best at the second show.
[10:25] Chizuru
You're right. Being downcast
won't get us anywhere.
[10:29] Roco
But the audience...
[10:31] Arisa
It's not uncommon for new idols
to perform to empty venues.
[10:37] Momoko
I knew it wouldn't go well.

Are you all right?
[11:22] Konomi
Y-Yes. Right now, we're—
[11:25] Newbie P
I am worried about the others,
but that's not what I meant.
[11:28] Newbie P
I was asking about you.
[11:29] Konomi
Huh?
[11:30] Newbie P
I shouldn't have depended on you so much.
[11:34] Newbie P
I'm sure you're thinking a lot right now.
[11:41] Newbie P
But you can ask me for anything.
That's my job.
[11:46] Newbie P
I'm not very dependable,
but I'm still your producer.
[11:50] Newbie P
And you're an idol who shines onstage.
[11:51] Newbie P
And you're an idol who shines onstage.
[12:04] Newbie P
Konomi-san?
[12:06] Konomi
Thank you, producer.
[12:08] Konomi
I'm glad I got to hear your voice.
[12:11] Konomi
We're... I'm okay now, really.
[12:24] Konomi/Id
He encouraged me again,
like he did when he scouted me.
[12:31] (Flashback) Newbie P
I saw you shining onstage
to a round of applause.
[12:39] Konomi/Id
Because of what he said, I wanted
to see myself shining onstage, too.
[12:47] Konomi/Id
I felt like I could change.
[12:51] Konomi/Id
And now, I'm not alone.
[12:54] Konomi/Id
We can change together.
[12:58] Konomi
So...
[13:00] Konomi
I want us to shine together!
[13:04] Nao
Konomi-san?
[13:06] Konomi
Our debut is the first step
we'll take as idols.
[13:09] Konomi
It's our first step toward the theater
performances that will begin soon.
[13:13] Konomi
No matter how today turns out,
[13:15] Konomi
everything we do leads toward
future theater performances.
[13:20] Konomi
Don't you think it's too soon to give up?
[13:24] Nao
You're right. This isn't the end.
[13:27] Chizuru
We've only just begun.
[13:29] Arisa
Yeah.
[13:30] Roco
Konomi, nice leadership.
[13:33] Konomi
When the producer asked me
if I wanted to become an idol,
[13:38] Konomi
I felt I might be able to change.
[13:41] Konomi
And since then,
[13:43] Konomi
after seeing the pre-opening event
and the other teams that have debuted,
[13:47] Konomi
I realize that all of us are
capable of changing so much.
[13:51] Konomi
This is our chance.
[13:54] Konomi
Even if we fail now, as long as we accept
that and work hard, I know we can change.
[13:59] Konomi
We can shine.
[14:02] Nao
You're right.
[14:03] Nao
I used to be a backup dancer
for the 765PRO ALLSTARS,
[14:07] Nao
and they overcame all obstacles,
no matter what they were.
[14:11] Nao
Seeing that made me realize
I want to be like them.
[14:16] Arisa
All the idols I've seen have always
worked hard to make people smile.
[14:22] Chizuru
We must do everything
we can until the end, too.
[14:27] Chizuru
As a socialite, I can't simply give up now.
[14:31] Roco
It's like making art on a canvas.
[14:34] Roco
You'll never create what you imagine
unless you try again and again.
[14:39] Momoko
You're right. I...
[14:52] Momoko
I'll do my best, too.
[14:55] Konomi
All right. Then let's put our heads together
[14:58] Konomi
and find a way to make our
next performance a success.
[15:01] Roco
Yeah.
[15:02] Nao
We need to brainstorm...
[15:04] Chizuru
A way to attract an audience
and what we'll do onstage.
[15:10] Nao
What should we do?
[15:17] Arisa
U-Um...
[15:19] Arisa
I have an idea, but only if
Momoko-chan doesn't mind...
[15:23] Newbie P
I think that's a great idea.
[15:25] Newbie P
I'll discuss it with the amusement park.
[15:28] Konomi
Okay. Thank you.
[15:31] Konomi
I borrowed a computer.
Now let's write a script.
[15:35] Roco
I'll handle the costumes.
[15:37] Arisa
Roco-chan, could you build the set, too?
[15:40] Roco
Of course.
[15:42] Arisa
We can use this, too.

I'm a socialite who happened to pass by.
[16:19] Passer-By A
A socialite who happened to pass by?
[16:21] Chizuru
Someone stole the treasure I brought
with me from my mansion!
[16:28] Chizuru
And that treasure is... a golden croquette!

What? A golden croquette?
[16:34] Chizuru

[16:38] Chizuru
The golden croquette is
a treasure among treasures.
[16:42] Chizuru
It's crispy on the outside
and piping hot on the inside.
[16:45] Arisa
Sounds pretty normal.
[16:47] Roco
That's a traditional croquette.
[16:49] Chizuru
Oh, no. Since I'm a socialite,
there are diamonds hidden inside.
[16:54] Arisa
What?!
[16:55] Roco
So high-value!
[16:57] Chizuru
The culprit must still be nearby.
