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.

[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. SIGN    Child Actress     Detective     Momoko-     chan [04:48] Arisa     It was really popular.

[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. [06:54] Roco     Right in the center.

[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... [08:01] Akane     Attention, everyone!

[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?

[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. [10:50] (Flashback) Konomi     You can count on me. [10:53] (Flashback) Konomi     Don't worry, producer.

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. [15:44] Nao     "Too"?
