    You liar!
[01:12] Boy
    You said you'd never leave me!
[01:17] Senior Lawyer
    In accordance with the firm's policy,
    we've decided to withdraw from this case.
[01:22] Boy
    You said you'd trust me,
[01:25] Boy
    and yet you'll disappear!
[01:27] Tendo
    No!
[01:33] Tendo
    I swear on this scarf's star
    that I'll carry out justice!
[01:40] Tendo
    I'll definitely protect you!
[01:44] Tendo
    I promise!
[01:49] Staff A
    Excuse me, sir.
[01:51] Staff A
    Excuse me, sir.
[01:54] Staff A
    I apologize, it's almost closing time.
[01:59] Staff A
    Your companion's already settled your bill.
[02:01] Staff A
    so we kindly ask that you go now.
[02:08] Tendo
    Companion?
[02:11] Tendo
    Last night...
[02:14] Tendo
    Ow... This is no good, I drank too much.
[02:26] Tendo
    Let's see...

    315 Productions...
[02:30] Tendo
    Exclusive contract...
[02:32] Tendo
    Tendou Teru...
[02:36] Tendo
    Me? An Idol?!
[02:41] Tendo
    No no no no no. That's just weird!
[02:45] Tendo
    I mean, I'm a lawyer!
[02:47] Tendo
    Since when was it decided that
    I'm going to be an idol?!
SIGN    Saitou Building
[02:55] Tendo
    I'm here...
[02:57] Tendo
    Anyway, I should confirm what's
    going on first. Here I go!
SIGN    Entertainment Production
    Saikou Productions
[03:08] Tendo
    This looks so suspicious...
[03:13] Tendo
    Huh?
[03:16] Tendo
    Is anyone there?
[03:34] Tendo
    Excuse me!
[03:35] YK
    I'm sorry! About these boxes...
[03:39] YK
    Oh, you're a guest! The
    intercom is broken right now!
[03:43] YK
    What business do you have with us today?
[03:46] Tendo
    I'm Tendou, and I have some
    questions regarding this contract—
[03:49] YK
    Oh! You're the new idol!
    Please give me a moment!
[03:54] YK
    Producer!
[03:54] Tendo
    Wai—
[03:56] Producer
    I'm coming!
[04:03] Producer
    Tendou Teru-san, I've been waiting for you.
[04:07] Producer
    I apologize for the mess.
    We just set up the agency.
[04:13] Tendo
    It's fine.
[04:14] Tendo
    No, I mean this!
[04:17] Tendo
    I'd like an explanation for this contract!
[04:19] Producer
    Oh, yes.
[04:21] Producer
    We signed this contract last night.
[04:26] Tendo
    I'd like to assert that it was
    signed without sound mind!
[04:33] Producer
    Would you like water instead?
[04:36] Producer
    That's true. You drank
    quite a bit last night.
[04:39] Producer
    By the time I noticed the commotion...
[04:42] Man
    What are you trying to tell me?!
[04:44] Staff B
    I'm very sorry!
[04:46] Man
    You're useless!
[04:47] Man
    Let me talk to your supervisor!
[04:49] Woman
    What's his problem?
[04:50] Man
    Stop looking down on me...
[04:55] Tendo
    Mister, you should stop right now.
[04:58] Man
    Wh-What?! Are you going to tell me what to do, too?!
[05:02] Tendo
    Mister, did something bad happen at work?
[05:06] Man
    Wha...? Th-That's none of your business...
[05:10] Tendo
    If there's anything I could do,
    I'd like to help.
[05:14] Tendo
    Will you talk to me?
[05:17] Tendo
    Hey, will you bring us something to drink?
[05:21] Staff B
    Yes, just a moment!
[05:24] Guest A
    Whoa, that guy's something.
[05:26] Guest B
    That scared me.
[05:31] Producer
    That piqued my interest, so I approached you.
[05:35] Tendo
    I... I don't remember that at all...
[05:37] Producer
    However, you were acting a bit differently
    when I had a drink with you later.
SIGN    Tendou Teru Lawyer
[05:44] Producer
    Ah, I see.
[05:46] Producer
    You're a freelance lawyer.
[05:48] Tendo
    Well, I was actually let go
    from my job, so yeah...
[05:53] Producer
    Seems like a difficult industry to be in.
[05:56] Tendo
    Before I got fired, I was working
    for a relatively well-known firm,
[06:01] Tendo
    and I was assigned to
    represent this child.
[06:04] Tendo
    Just when I thought I was able to help him,
[06:07] Tendo
    I got taken off the case
    because of policy issues at the firm.
[06:11] Tendo
    But I made a promise.
[06:14] Tendo
    I promised that I'd protect him.
[06:17] Producer
    So you became a freelancer?
[06:19] Tendo
    I managed to keep the promise,
     but things didn't go well after.
[06:25] Tendo
    I told you all that, huh?
[06:28] Producer
    Then I asked if you were
    interested in becoming an idol.
[06:32] Tendo
    I told you, I don't remember!
[06:35] Producer
    And you got really
    excited about the idea!
SIGN    Contract
[06:39] Producer
    You even wrote the contract
    yourself before you signed it.
SIGN    Tendou
[06:43] Producer
    You were totally gung-ho.
[06:46] Tendo
    W-Wait a minute!
[06:51] Tendo
    This is indeed my handwriting.
[06:55] Tendo
    But why me?
[06:58] Tendo
    Lawyer and idol, they don't have
    anything in common whatsoever.
[07:01] Producer
    Do you think so?
[07:03] Producer
    I figured someone like you
    could bring smiles to a lot of people.
[07:09] Tendo
    Smiles...
[07:16] Tendo
    Okay, done!
[07:22] Tendo
    It's proof that we're buddies!
[07:24] Tendo
    No matter when, I will come to help you!
[07:31] Boy
    Okay!
[07:33] Producer
    Wanting to make someone smile...
[07:35] Producer
    ...is important to both being
    a lawyer and an idol.
[07:39] Producer
    I thought if you were an idol,
[07:41] Producer
    you would be able to make
    even more people smile.
[07:46] Producer
    That's why I scouted you.
[07:50] Producer
    The contract is just an opportunity.
[07:53] Producer
    If you have no intention of becoming an idol,
[07:56] Producer
    we can nullify it right now.
[07:59] Tendo
    Hey...
[08:00] YK
    Welcome. Please come in.
[08:08] Producer
    Welcome, Sakuraba Kaoru-san and Kashiwagi Tsubasa-san.
[08:14] Producer
    Tendou-san, these two are
    the new idols who are here...
[08:18] Producer
    ...to sign a contract, just like you.
[08:20] Sakuraba
    I'm Sakuraba Kaoru.
[08:23] Kashiwagi
    Nice to meet you. I am Kashiwagi Tsubasa.
[08:26] Kashiwagi
    I look forward to working with you.
[08:28] Tendo
    Same here.
[08:31] Tendo
    Wait, I haven't even decided to do it!
[08:34] Tendo
    I mean, I'm already twenty-eight and I
    don't know anything about being an idol!
[08:37] Sakuraba
    If you don't have any motivation,
    then why don't you leave?
[08:41] Tendo
    What?
[08:43] Sakuraba
    I said leave.
[08:45] Tendo
    I don't even know you.
    What gives you the right to be so rude?
[08:49] Kashiwagi
    Hey! Both of you, we just met, so
    why don't we calm down and talk—
[08:53] Sakuraba
    This is a place for people who are working
    hard to make their dreams come true.
[08:59] Sakuraba
    Why is a guy like you even here?
[09:01] Tendo
    I do have a dream!
[09:07] Tendo
    But...
[09:09] Tendo
    Right now, I...
[09:13] Producer
    Is everyone free now?
[09:16] Producer
    The group we're scouting
    has a concert today.
[09:23] Sakuraba
    So you were talking about Jupiter.
[09:26] Kashiwagi
    This is my first time coming to a
    place like this! I'm so excited!
[09:57] Tendo
    Smiles...
[10:02] Producer
    Do you think you might find your dream here?
[10:17] YK
    That's it for the information on lessons.
[10:20] YK
    Any questions?
[10:24] Producer
    Kashiwagi-san?
[10:25] Kashiwagi
    Yes?!
[10:26] Producer
    Is something wrong?
[10:28] Kashiwagi
    Oh, no...
[10:32] YK
    Then...
[10:42] Tendo
    Tendou Teru. Twenty-eight years old.
[10:45] Tendo
    I am the man who will be the brightest
    star in the idol industry!
[10:48] Tendo
    I'll be in your care, Producer!
[10:53] Tendo
    Joint lesson?
[10:54] YK
    Yes.
[10:56] YK
    Up until now, we've had everyone take
    a foundation class separately.
[11:00] YK
    But from here on out, it will be more
    specialized, so we will be taking it together.
[11:05] Producer
    It is also a great opportunity to
    identify each individual's strengths.
[11:10] Tendo
    All right, then let's work hard as a team!
[11:13] Kashiwagi
    Yes, let's work hard together!
[11:15] Sakuraba
    I understand the situation.
[11:17] Sakuraba
    But this is temporary.
[11:28] Voice Trainer
    Okay, that's good.
[11:31] Kashiwagi
    You're amazing, Sakuraba-san!
[11:33] Tendo
    You're quite good!
SIGN    Silence
[11:38] Voice Trainer
    Next, Kashiwagi-san.
[11:39] Kashiwagi
    Y-Yes!
[11:47] Kashiwagi
    H-How was it?
[11:49] Voice Trainer
    You need a little bit more practice...
[11:54] Tendo
    Tsubasa, you've got a voice. This is just the beginning!
[11:57] Kashiwagi
    Yeah...
[11:58] Sakuraba
    Do you have any intention of matching pitch?
[12:01] Tendo
    Hey, you, Sakuraba! Isn't there a
    nicer way to phrase your sentence?!
[12:04] Kashiwagi
    It's all right, Tendou-san!
[12:06] Sakuraba
    I just stated the truth.
[12:08] Tendo
    Th-This guy!
[12:11] Dance Trainer
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight.
[12:15] Dance Trainer
    Okay, stop!
[12:19] Tendo
    This is quite demanding.
[12:25] Kashiwagi
    Are you all right, Sakuraba-san?
[12:27] Tendo
    Do you have any intention
    to dance to the rhythm?
[12:31] Dance Trainer
    All of you are still amateurs.
[12:34] Dance Trainer
    Especially you, Sakuraba-san.
    You can't seem to keep up with the tempo.
[12:37] Dance Trainer
    You're lacking stamina.
[12:38] Sakuraba
    I will master it in no time.
[12:41] Dance Trainer
    You two as well.
[12:42] Dance Trainer
    If you can't do such simple steps,
    we can't proceed to the next level.
[12:47] Dance Trainer
    So here's today's homework.
[12:50] Dance Trainer
    Make sure all of your steps are
    in sync next time I see you!
SIGN    Please store  your valuables  at your own risk.
[12:54] Tendo
    Assignment for next week, huh?
[12:57] Kashiwagi
    I need to work harder.
[13:00] Tendo
    All right! Starting tomorrow,
    let's practice together!
[13:04] Tendo
    We can teach and help each other!
[13:06] Kashiwagi
    That sounds great, Tendou-san!
[13:09] Kashiwagi
    There are so many things
    I want you to teach me!
[13:11] Tendo
    It's decided then!
[13:12] Tendo
    And let's stop with Tendou-san.
[13:15] Tendo
    Call me Teru, Tsubasa.
[13:18] Kashiwagi
    Yes, Teru-san!
[13:21] Kashiwagi
    You too, Sakuraba-san, let's work together!
[13:24] Sakuraba
    I don't plan on wasting my time.
[13:27] Sakuraba
    I will be able to do everything
    even if I practice on my own.
[13:29] Tendo
    H-Hey, Sakuraba!
[13:36] Tendo
    What to do?
[13:50] Tendo
    Damn, we aren't matching.
[13:52] Kashiwagi
    It's my fault.
[13:55] Tendo
    You know the second turn?
[13:58] Tendo
    It's tough if we're out of sync there.
[14:00] Kashiwagi
    That's true.
[14:05] Tendo
    Sakuraba...
[14:11] Kashiwagi
    Sakuraba-san.
[14:13] Kashiwagi
    There's a lot of things I still can't
    do, but let's practice together.
[14:17] Kashiwagi
    If you notice anything I'm
    doing wrong, please tell me.
[14:21] Sakuraba
    It's out of the question if you can't
    even figure out your own faults.
[14:28] Tendo
    Hey!
[14:31] Tendo
    You don't have to say it like that!
[14:32] Sakuraba
    It's a waste of time to argue any further.
[14:43] X
    Here's your extra large miso ramen!
[14:46] Kashiwagi
    Time to eat!
SIGN    Dandou Ramen
[14:49] Tendo
    Tsubasa, I'm amazed you can eat
    so much even when you're tired.

    Practice made me hungry!
[15:03] Tendo
    Hey, Tsubasa.
SIGN    Free!!
[15:06] Tendo
    About Sakuraba... What do you think of him?
[15:13] Kashiwagi
    I think Sakuraba-san is amazing.
SIGN    Free!!
[15:17] Kashiwagi
    He's very straightforward with me if I do
    something wrong and he's very hard working.
[15:21] Kashiwagi
    Also...
[15:22] Kashiwagi
    The fact that you and
    Sakuraba-san are with this agency,
[15:25] Kashiwagi
    and that we're aiming to
    become idols together,
[15:29] Kashiwagi
    makes me so happy.
[15:32] Tendo
    Tsubasa...
[15:33] Sakuraba
    This is a place for people who are working
    hard to make their dreams come true.
[15:41] Tendo
    His dream to become an idol
    is the same as ours, right?
[15:47] Tendo
    Then there isn't time for us stop.
[15:52] Kashiwagi
    Teru-san, you've been thinking quite a bit.
[15:55] Tendo
    Uh, well, I guess?
[15:58] Tendo
    The man who will be the brightest
    star in the idol industry—
[16:01] X
    Sorry for the wait! Extra large rice!
[16:03] Kashiwagi
    Yay! What were you saying, Teru-san?

    I am—!
[16:15] Tendo
    Never mind.
[16:21] Producer
    Yes, President.
[16:22] Producer
    I just met with Jupiter and
    told them what I was thinking.
[16:26] Producer
    The rest is up to them. Thank you.
[16:43] [Messenger] ---
    Tendou Teru
[16:46] Producer
    I see...
[16:48] Producer
    So that happened.
[16:50] Tendo
    Tsubasa and I are starting to sync,
[16:52] Tendo
    but if Sakuraba isn't with us,
    we can't complete the assignment.
[16:56] Producer
    I apologize. If only I could
    be more present during the lessons...
[17:00] Tendo
    It's not your fault. This is our problem.
[17:05] Tendo
    It always ends up in an
    argument with Sakuraba,
[17:09] Tendo
    since he thinks differently than us.
[17:14] Producer
    Especially since all of you have
    led such different lives.
[17:19] Tendo
    But we share the dream of becoming an idol.
[17:24] Tendo
    At first, I also thought we worked
    together because we went with the flow.
[17:29] Tendo
    But I think that's starting to change.
[17:34] Tendo
    We aren't in sync right now,
[17:37] Tendo
    but I believe we'll make
    a great team someday.
[17:43] Tendo
    That's why I want to clear this
    assignment with all three of us.
[17:52] Producer
    Tendou-san, do you have time after this?
[18:08] Sakuraba
    Damn it!
[18:19] Tendo
    Really, to think you'd be practicing here.
[18:26] Tendo
    Wait!
[18:28] Sakuraba
    You're interrupting my practice.
[18:31] Tendo
    Sakuraba, listen.
[18:34] Tendo
    If we don't complete the
    assignment, we can't go further.
[18:37] Tendo
    It's pointless if only one
    or two of us can do it.
[18:40] Tendo
    It has to be the three of us!
[18:45] Kashiwagi
    Sakuraba-san!
[18:47] Kashiwagi
    Teru-san!
[18:50] Tendo
    All three of us are here now!
[18:56] Kashiwagi
    I heard from the producer
    that you guys were here.
[19:02] Kashiwagi
    I us want to work together, the three of us.
[19:06] Kashiwagi
    Sakuraba-san, I... I am still nowhere close,
[19:11] Kashiwagi
    but I think even I can contribute, so...
[19:18] Tendo
    All three of us want to become idols.
[19:22] Tendo
    Please lend us your strength.
[19:27] Sakuraba
    Do what you want.
[19:31] Tendo
    All right! Let's get this started!
[19:34] Kashiwagi
    Yeah!
[19:58] Dance Trainer
    One, two, three, four,
    five, six, seven, eight!
[20:06] Dance Trainer
    I guess it's okay.
[20:08] Tendo
    We did it!
[20:09] Kashiwagi
    Hurray!
[20:10] Tendo
    Yay!
[20:17] Tendo
    We know you're happy. Don't be embarrassed!
[20:20] Kashiwagi
    We did it, Kaoru-san!
[20:24] Sakuraba
    Your voice isn't bad.
[20:27] Sakuraba
    You just have to sing with confidence.
[20:31] Kashiwagi
    Yes, I shall sing with confidence!
[20:33] Tendo
    What, just Tsubasa? Don't you
    have any advice for me?
[20:38] Sakuraba
    I don't have time to give you any advice.
[20:40] Tendo
    What's your problem?
[20:41] Producer
    Thanks for your hard work, everyone!
[20:43] Tendo
    Producer! This is nothing.
[20:45] Kashiwagi
    I can still keep going!
[20:47] Sakuraba
    I'm up for more, too.
[20:49] Sakuraba
    All we did was finish one assignment.
[20:51] Sakuraba
    There's no time to waste.
[20:54] Producer
    I understand.
[20:57] Producer
    Then from now on, three of you
    will work together as a unit!
[21:03] Tendo
    Huh?
[21:04] All
    A unit?!
[21:05] Producer
    Yes. Just as your leader, Tendou, said,
[21:09] Producer
    I believe you guys will make a great team!
[21:13] Producer
    I even came up with the unit name!
[21:15] Producer
    What do you think of "Dramatic Stars"?
[21:20] Sakuraba
    I wasn't told any of this!
[21:22] ---
    Not again...
[21:23] Sakuraba
    More importantly, since when were you the leader?
[21:23] ---
    Grrr...
[21:26] Tendo
    Hey, you...
[21:27] Kashiwagi
    Both of you calm down.
[21:28] ST
    Congratulations on the new unit!
[21:31] Producer
    President! I thought you were going
    to be out all day for scouting.
[21:34] All
    President?!
[21:35] ST
    Right now, I am extremely moved!
[21:39] ST
    Our agency, 315 Productions' first unit,
     Dramatic Passion Stars!
[21:44] ST
    I expect great things from you!
[21:45] Producer
    Um, President...
[21:47] ST
    Let us meet again! Boys be passion!
[21:52] Producer
    It's Dramatic Stars...
[23:27] Tendo
    It's that turn, I tell you!
[23:29] Sakuraba
    Aren't you the one out of sync?
