SIGN    Homemade Bentou Tamakoya
[00:10] YK
    The weather is nice today.
[00:12] Producer
    Yeah, it's a perfect day for a photo shoot.
[00:15] Producer
    Though today is an indoor shoot.
[00:18] YK
    Oh, right. Today's shoot is for
    everyone's promotional materials.
[00:21] Producer
    Yes.
[00:23] Producer
    Beit, HighxJoker, S.E.M....
[00:26] Producer
    Ever since they joined, there has
    been so much progress on the lessons.
[00:29] Producer
    We should start preparing for their debut.
SIGN    Dance Lesson
[00:32] Producer
    Jupiter is already busy
    preparing their next concert.

    Yes, they're all fired up, too.
SIGN    Mitarai Shouta
SIGN    Ijuuin Hokuto
[00:43] YK
    There's a lot we can expect
    from our new members, too.
[00:46] Producer
    Right?
[00:47] Producer
    I scouted Beit when I met some
    popular kids at a shopping district.
SIGN    Takajou Kyouji
SIGN    Watanabe Minori
[00:52] Producer
    They were already very close friends
    through their part-time job.
SIGN    Pierre
[00:56] YK
    Come to think of it, there are always
    men in black behind Pierre-kun.
SIGN    Japanese Sweets Umezato
[01:01] Producer
    Oh, they're from the SP.
[01:03] YK
    SP?
[01:04] Producer
    Yes.
[01:05] Producer
    Pierre is a prince of a country.
[01:08] YK
    O-Oh...
[01:10] Producer
    The members of S.E.M. were
    previously high school teachers.
[01:12] Producer
    For personal reasons, they decided to
    leave school and pursue the path of an idol.
SIGN    Hazama Michio
SIGN    Maita Rui
[01:18] YK
    That makes me really curious.
SIGN    Yamashita Jirou
[01:21] Producer
    The five members of HighxJoker are from the
    Light Music Club at the same high school,
SIGN    Wakazato Haruna
[01:24] Producer
    and they make all of their
    music themselves.
SIGN    Akiyama Hayato
SIGN    Iseya Shiki
[01:27] YK

SIGN    Tendou Teru
SIGN    Kashiwagi Tsubasa
[01:46] YK
    I bet there aren't many agencies
    that are blessed with such diversity.
[01:50] Producer
    Right?
[01:51] Saito
    Shouldn't you guys get going?
[01:53] YK
    Oh, President.
[01:55] Producer
    It's fine. We have plenty of time...
[01:58] Saito
    That clock has been broken since yesterday.
[02:01] Producer
    What?!
[03:36] IS
    Oh!
[03:37] All
    Producer!
[03:39] Tendo
    It's rare for you to be late.
[03:42] Producer
    Apologies. Sorry for the wait.
[03:46] Kashiwagi
    No problem. We're the
    ones who came too early.
[03:49] Tendo
    We're all excited.
[03:52] WM
    Excuse me...
[03:54] WM
    Is Jupiter not coming today?
[03:56] Producer
    Oh, they have to prepare for their concert.
[03:59] IS
    Oh, oh, oh! Producer-chan!
    I want to see the concert!
[04:03] IS
    I've always wanted to be in the VIP section!
[04:04] AH
    Yeah!
[04:06] HM
    It'll be a great opportunity for us to learn.
[04:09] HM
    If it's possible, may we attend as well?
[04:12] WM
    I'd like to go as well!
[04:14] Pierre
    I want to see the concert!
[04:16] Producer
    I guess so...
[04:18] Producer
    Then we can check out the back
    stage along with the concert.
[04:23] Tendo
    That's a great idea!
[04:25] Producer
    Can I get a show of hands
    of those who want to go?
[04:28] All
    Me! Me! Yes!
[04:31] Producer
    Okay. We shall all go.
[04:36] All
    Yay!
[04:38] Producer
    Everyone, we need to finish
    today's photo shoot first.
[04:44] Photographer
    You have future idols for me today, huh?
    That's exciting!
[04:48] Producer
    Yes, we'll be in your care!
[04:50] Tendo
    I look forward to working with you!
[04:51] Sakuraba
    Wait, Tendou.
[04:51] Kashiwagi
    Both of you, please wait.
[04:54] Sakuraba
    Producer, are you telling me
    to form a unit with this guy?
[04:58] Tendo
    Tell him, please, Producer.
    I think his outfit looks really plain.
[05:03] Producer
    Um... First of all, why are
    all of you dressed so differently?
[05:10] Kashiwagi
    That's because...
[05:12] Tendo
    It should be something high-impact!
[05:15] Sakuraba
    I'm saying you can't go
    wrong with formal attire.
[05:17] Tendo
    No way! I'm pretty sure
    something flashy is best!
[05:18] Kashiwagi
    We couldn't come to the same conclusion,
[05:20] Kashiwagi
    so we decided we will wear whatever
    we thought would be good...
[05:21] Tendo
    We're idols!
[05:23] Kashiwagi
    Calm down, both of you...
[05:25] Kashiwagi
    Producer, what should we do?
[05:28] Producer
    Hmm...
[05:32] Producer
    Let's just go with that.
[05:33] All
    What?!
[05:35] Tendo
    Are you sure?
[05:36] Producer
    Yes.
[05:38] Producer
    Then let's start with
    whichever unit is ready!
[05:42] KT/TT
    R-Right.
[05:50] Photographer
    Sakuraba-kun, can you smile a little more?
[05:54] Sakuraba
    Yes...
[05:55] Kashiwagi
    Kaoru-san,
[05:57] Kashiwagi
    relax!
[05:58] Tendo
    Yeah!
[06:00] Tendo
    I'm pretty sure a smile will suit you.
SIGN    Minori
[06:05] WM
    Idols and track jackets go hand-in-hand!
[06:08] WM
    Smile!
[06:10] WM
    Signature pose!
[06:14] WM
    I learned it from an idol magazine.
[06:17] TK
    Is that right.
[06:18] Pierre
    Minori, you're amazing!
[06:20] IS
    Please make sure I am
    super duper good looking!
[06:23] AH
    I feel like this outfit will make us popular.
[06:25] IS
    Right?!
[06:26] SN
    This outfit makes me itchy.
[06:29] IS
    Please endure that, Natsuki-chi!
[06:31] FJ
    Guys, let's start.
[06:33] WH
    Aye-aye, leader!
[06:35] AH
    Oh, um, ready, set...
[06:38] Photographer
    Th-This is...
[06:41] HM
    I collected and analyzed the characteristics
    of the popular idols from the past 50 years,
[06:45] HM
    and came up with the optimal outfit.
[06:47] HM
    With this, there's a 95% chance
    that it will be a memorable photo.
[06:53] MR
    Okay!
[06:54] YJ
    I guess it's okay...
[06:57] MR
    Three, two, one...
[07:00] All
    S.E.M.!
[07:15] WH
    This is so bad!
[07:16] FJ
    This is why I was against it!
[07:18] IS
    I thought it'd be perfect...
[07:22] AH
    I was fairly confident, too.
[07:24] AH
    Roller skates!
[07:25] Pierre
    Taking photos is fun!
[07:27] TK
    Y-Yeah...
[07:28] Tendo
    It's not that good, I guess...
[07:31] Sakuraba
    That's because of your look.
[07:33] Tendo
    You look like someone who's
    taking a resume photo, too!
[07:36] Sakuraba
    I'll admit there's a problem
    with my facial expression,
[07:38] Sakuraba
    but there's nothing wrong with my attire.
[07:43] Producer
    So this is what you want
    your audience to see?
[07:46] WM
    What we want them to see?
[07:47] Producer
    Yes. These are charming in their own way.
[07:52] AH
    I have a question for you!
[07:53] Producer
    Yes, ask away Hayato-kun.
[07:55] AH
    These photos will be used for
    auditions and such, right?
[07:59] IS
    That's why I thought something
    mega, mega flashy would be good!
[08:03] IS
    Wouldn't that attract more jobs?
[08:06] Tendo
    I agree. We aren't famous,
[08:09] Tendo
    so wouldn't it be easier for them to
    remember us if we're more noticeable?
[08:13] Kashiwagi
    I think we should be a
    little more conventional.
[08:17] WM
    I did think about what it
    means to look like an idol.
[08:20] HM
    It's merely a result of our analysis of past data.
[08:24] YJ
    So that means these photos...
[08:30] Sakuraba
    Producer, do you have any advice?
[08:34] Sakuraba
    I think that's the most effective
    way for us to improve.
[08:37] Producer
    Hmm...
[08:39] Producer
    Let me think...
[08:40] Tendo
    Wait!
[08:42] Tendo
    Can you give us one more chance, Producer?
[08:45] Tendo
    I want us to figure out
    these kinds of things ourselves.
[08:48] Kashiwagi
    Is there any way we can make this work?
[08:51] HM
    Yes, I'd love to try again.
[08:54] TK
    I will be more creative next time.
[08:56] Pierre
    Woohoo! I will work harder!
[08:59] FJ
    This affects our reputation as well.
[09:01] IS
    Is it that bad?!
[09:06] Producer
    What do you think?
[09:08] Photographer
    Reshoot? I guess it depends on our schedule.
[09:12] Producer
    We have a concert to be at next week.
[09:14] Photographer
    Hmm, how about we adjust a
    thing or two around this time?
[09:19] All
    Thank you very much!
[09:22] Tendo
    All right!
[09:23] Tendo
    Let's take the best photo this time!
[09:26] Kashiwagi
    Yes!
[09:27] Sakuraba
    We can't simply retake the photo.
[09:29] Sakuraba
    We need to come up with a proper
    concept before we take the photo.
[09:34] Tendo
    I know that!
[09:38] Sakuraba
    It's a tough road ahead.
[09:40] Tendo
    What?!
[09:41] Kashiwagi
    L-Let's just do our best, okay?
[09:44] Producer
    Oh, yes!
[09:46] Producer
    In regards to the concert,
[09:48] Producer
    we will be meeting at the
    venue at 7 am on the day of.
[09:51] Producer
    Please be there on time!
[09:53] All
    What?
[09:54] YJ
    S-So early...
[10:04] Tendo
    Let's try our best!
[10:06] Tendo
    We'll figure it out somehow.
[10:09] Kashiwagi
    Y-Yes!
[10:11] Sakuraba
    How do you intend to do that?
[10:14] Sakuraba
    The problem isn't about appearance,
    but it's about who we are.
[10:18] WM
    This is difficult.
[10:20] TK
    How we want to be seen...
[10:23] TK
    I hope our charm can be portrayed.
[10:26] Pierre
    I know what makes both of you charming!
    You are both very kind!
[10:32] WM
    Thanks. You, too, Pierre.
[10:35] TK
    But what do the others see?
[10:37] WM
    Hmm...
[10:39] YJ
    Perhaps..."old man"?
[10:42] HM
    I won't deny that, but I think
    you're missing the mark.
[10:44] MR
    Yes! It'd be good if we can portray
    positivity and only-one-ness!
[10:52] YJ
    In concrete terms?
[10:54] AH
    Look popular!
[10:55] FJ
    Hayato, I'll get angry.
[10:58] AH
    I'm sorry. I'll think properly.
[11:04] WH
    This is hard. How we
    want to be seen as idols.
[11:08] SN
    Yeah...
[11:09] IS
    As idols, huh?
[11:11] IS
    We're just ordinary high school students...
[11:14] Tendo
    Wait a second, are we going
    home? Let's think together.
[11:19] Sakuraba
    It's something we can think about on our own.
[11:25] Tendo
    I guess it can't be helped.
[11:36] YK
    Why does it have to rain
    on the day of the concert?
[11:45] Tendo
    Good morning!
[11:46] Staff
    Good morning.
[11:47] Tendo
    Good morning!
[11:48] Staff
    Good morning.
[11:50] Tendo
    Good morning!
[11:52] Kashiwagi
    Oh, Teru-san.
[11:54] Tendo
    What happened?
[11:56] Man
    The typhoon has changed its course and gained
    momentum due to a high-pressure system.
SIGN    Major Typhoon
SIGN    Heavy rain in some regions
[12:00] Man
    It has been wreaking havoc in
    many areas on its way north.
[12:02] SS
    We're almost at the
    shelter! Hang in there!
[12:05] KR
    It's dangerous! Please stay indoors!
[12:09] Tendo
    I thought the typhoon wasn't
    going to hit this area.
SIGN    Performers
[12:13] Kashiwagi
    Apparently, the Kanto region is safe.
[12:15] Kashiwagi
    But our main staff are...
[12:19] Producer
    How are things looking?
SIGN    Road closed
[12:21] AH
    The freeway is currently
    closed due to road damage.
[12:24] Staff
    What's the status on restoration?
[12:26] AH
    We aren't sure what to expect.
[12:29] AH
    I'm aware you're in a rush,
    but please drive safe!
[12:31] Chief
    Did you get that?
[12:33] Chief
    The traffic is no better on the other route.
    This isn't looking good.
[12:38] Staff
    We only have about half of the
    staff we planned for today.
[12:41] Staff
    Even though we have all the equipment,
    if we don't have enough staff,
[12:44] Staff
    it won't be enough to just hustle.
[12:47] Manager
    315 Productions, I'm sorry to say, but
    we should cancel today's performance.
[12:51] Manager
    We can't just tell the audience,
    "Sorry, we couldn't get ready in time."
[13:01] WM
    I wonder if there's anything
    that can be done...
[13:07] Producer
    We'll continue with the concert.
[13:08] Manager
    What?
[13:09] Producer
    The fans have been looking
    forward to the performance.
[13:13] Manager
    Wha-?
[13:14] Manager
    You must know that nothing can
    be done without enough help.
[13:18] AT
    We can help.
[13:20] Manager
    Huh?
[13:21] IH
    We have some experience
    with setting up the stage.
[13:25] MS
    It's actually pretty fun.
[13:27] Manager
    H-However...
[13:29] Manager
    Aren't you guys idols?
    Can you really do that?
[13:33] Manager
    Let's say you guys could, but
    three of you is not enough—
[13:36] Tendo
    Excuse me!
[13:38] Tendo
    Will you let me help as well?
[13:42] Tendo
    Oh, um...
[13:45] Tendo
    I can't just sit around and watch
     at a time like this.
[13:49] Kashiwagi
    Yes!
[13:51] HM
    There's still something that can be done.
[13:53] IS
    We'll help, too!
[13:55] All
    Me, too! I'll do anything!
[14:04] Manager
    Just this one time, okay?
[14:07] Manager
    Except, you must all follow
    the staff's instructions.
[14:11] Manager
    Safety first, understood?
[14:14] All
    Thank you very much!
[14:16] AT
    Thanks! You're a big help.
[14:22] Producer
    Then let's start setting it up!
[14:25] All
    Yes!
[14:37] Tendo
    Excuse me.
[14:39] Tendo
    Have you seen the extra cables around here?
[14:41] Producer
    They're in the box in the back.
[14:43] Tendo
    Thank you.
[14:44] Producer
    This is the location of the staff.
[14:46] HM
    Traffic, rain, traffic lights,
    wind, road conditions... Considering everything,
[14:53] HM
    they'll arrive in around 240
    minutes. It'll take about four hours.
[14:57] Producer
    It would be great if we could get
    mostly set-up before then.
[15:00] AT
    That aside, it's impressive
    you can figure that out.
[15:03] AT
    As expected from a teacher.
[15:05] MR
    No, no.
[15:06] MR
    It's because he's Mr. Hazama!
[15:09] YJ
    And even if we were teachers,
    there's a lot we don't know here.
[15:14] HM
    Please teach us your ways.
[15:16] AT
    That's... It's not that impressive.
[15:19] IS
    That's the last one.
[15:21] FJ
    Can you please put them
    in the upper right stage?
[15:23] IS
    Roger.
[15:26] Kashiwagi
    Are you all right?
[15:28] IS
    Thank you. Ah, you are... Kashiwagi-san?
[15:33] Kashiwagi
    You can call me that, or Tsubasa, Shiki-kun.
[15:37] IS
    Then, Tsubasa-chi!
[15:39] MS
    Hokuto-kun, can you help over here?
[15:41] IH
    Yeah, but...
[15:43] AH
    We'll finish up here.
[15:45] WM
    Jupiter's new merch, huh?
[15:48] WM
    Oh no, focus!
[15:50] Pierre
    Ah!
[15:51] WM/TK
    What happened?
[15:53] Pierre
    I hurt my finger.
[15:55] WM
    You okay?
[15:56] TK
    Weren't there bandages around here?
[15:58] Sakuraba
    Wait.
[15:59] Sakuraba
    Let me see.
[16:02] Sakuraba
    It's a small cut. We should clean it with water
    before putting on a bandage.
[16:07] Sakuraba
    Hold out your hand.
[16:14] Pierre
    Thank you! You're so kind, Kaoru!
[16:19] Sakuraba
    I'm just used to it.
[16:20] WM
    You're so skilled, as always.
[16:23] Sakuraba
    Never mind that, can you get the bandage?
[16:25] TK
    Oh, yeah, sorry.
[16:58] Tendo
    All right!
[17:00] Staff
    The setup is done for the most part.
[17:02] Chief
    To think you guys managed all
    this... This is really helpful.
[17:07] Chief
    Thank you! You can leave the rest to us.
[17:10] Producer & Idols
    Thank you in advance.
[17:12] Chief
    Got it!
[17:14] Producer
    Okay, the three of you in Jupiter
    should start rehearsing!
[17:18] Jupiter
    Yes!
[17:26] All
    Yay!
[17:43] Kashiwagi
    Is something wrong?
[17:45] Tendo
    Oh, no. I just thought
    this is kind of nice.
[17:50] Tendo
    We all come from such different backgrounds,
    and we're all different ages.
[17:56] Tendo
    And not a single one of us is like another.
[18:00] Kashiwagi
    That's true. It's an incredible mix of people.
[18:04] Pierre
    Yeah! We're incredible!
[18:06] YJ
    Yeah... An old man like me is trying
    to become an idol with all of you.
[18:11] YJ
    You don't see that often.
[18:17] Tendo
    I had such a different
    lifestyle until recently,
[18:21] Tendo
    and I doubted that I could be an idol.
[18:25] Tendo
    I guess we all have our
    circumstances that led us here.
[18:28] Tendo
    We'll continue to meet different people,
[18:31] Tendo
    work on things we've never
    done or thought about,
[18:35] Tendo
    and go to places we know nothing about.
[18:38] Tendo
    Thinking about it just got me excited.
[18:44] Kashiwagi
    Yeah! I'm really excited, too.
[18:52] AT
    Ahh, ahh! Test, test!
[18:55] AT
    Um, I want to thank everyone for today.
[18:59] IH
    Thanks to you, we won't have
    to betray our little angels' hopes!
[19:03] All
    Yay!
[19:05] MS
    Oh, yeah! Do you guys want to
    sing? It'll feell really good!
[19:10] All
    Oh! Yay!
[19:15] WM
    I guess so.
[19:16] MR
    Yeah, it sounds very exciting, but...
[19:20] HM
    We will excuse ourselves for today.
[19:22] MS
    If you're worried about
    time, we should have a bit.
[19:25] Tendo
    No, that's not what we mean.
[19:28] Tendo
    Our first stage experience should
    be with our own debut song, right?
[19:32] Tendo
    We'll be up on stage in no time!
[19:36] AT
    Yeah, that sounds great!
    We won't be losing to you guys.
[19:40] AT
    We are all members of the same agency.
[19:43] AT
    We are comrades as well as rivals!
[19:46] MS
    You really like stuff like that, Touma-kun.
[19:48] AT
    Wh-?! Shut up!
[19:53] Tendo
    Huh?
[19:56] Kashiwagi
    I don't hate this sort of things, either.
[20:01] Kashiwagi
    Kaoru-san!
[20:03] Sakuraba
    What?
[20:04] Sakuraba
    I just want to get on stage and give
    the best performance I can, as soon as possible.
[20:09] Sakuraba
    Of course, I would be fine
    with a solo performance.
[20:11] Kashiwagi
    What?! Please don't say that!

    The weather is nice today.
[21:50] Producer
    Yes, very.
[21:52] YK
    Those are the photos from the retake, right?
[21:56] Producer
    Yeah.
[21:58] YK
    This is truly an interesting agency.
[22:01] Producer
    Right?
[22:02] Producer
    Surely, there's an immeasurable
    potential that we have yet to see.
[22:07] Producer
    That gives me joy.
