[00:02] Tendo
    A hero of justice!
[00:06] Reporter
    Is that what you'd like to be as an idol?
[00:10] Tendo
    Yes! I want to live honestly
    and aim for the top!
[00:14] Tendo
    And when I grab the First Star,
    that's when I've become a true hero.
[00:18] Sakuraba
    I don't get it.
[00:20] Sakuraba
    You should make it easier for
    the reporter to understand.
[00:23] Kashiwagi
    Kaoru-san...
[00:24] Tendo
    Then what about you?
[00:26] Sakuraba
    A top idol.
[00:28] Tendo
    And then?
[00:29] Sakuraba
    That's it.
[00:31] Tendo
    That's it? Like, what about dreams
    of becoming a hero or something—
[00:34] Sakuraba
    I'm not an idiot.
[00:36] Tendo
    I'm serious!
[00:37] Kashiwagi
    Well, well, you guys have the same goal, so...
[00:41] TT/SK
    Don't group me with this guy!
[00:43] Reporter
    Dramatic Stars is funny.
[00:46] Tendo
    Thank you very much!
[00:49] Reporter
    Then, Kashiwagi-kun.
[00:51] Reporter
    It's almost your debut, but
    what's your dream as an idol?
[00:55] Kashiwagi
    Y-Yes! I...
[00:59] Kashiwagi
    would like to see the ultimate view.
[01:02] Sakuraba
    The ultimate view?
[01:05] Kashiwagi
    It's always been a dream of mine.
[01:09] Reporter
    What is that?
[01:10] Kashiwagi
    I always have it with me.
[01:13] Kashiwagi
    I was influenced by my dad who
    was a pilot, and loved airplanes.
[01:18] Kashiwagi
    Even now, I still go to
    the airport pretty often.
[01:20] Kashiwagi
    I would watch his back as he took off,
[01:23] Kashiwagi
    and thought that some day, I would like
    to see the ultimate view he spoke of.
[01:28] Reporter
    You were previously a pilot.
[01:32] Kashiwagi
    I didn't have a choice but
    to quit being a pilot,
[01:35] Kashiwagi
    but when Producer scouted me and
    took me to Jupiter's concert,
[01:40] Kashiwagi
    I was really surprised.
[01:42] Kashiwagi
    The stage and the seats
    were like the night sky.
[01:46] Kashiwagi
    It made me want to go up on stage
[01:50] Kashiwagi
    and see the dazzling view.
[01:52] Tendo
    That's a great dream you've got there!
[01:55] Sakuraba
    It's better than the idiot's nonsense.
[01:57] Tendo
    You! It's always the idiot
    who calls people idiots!
[01:59] Kashiwagi
    Both of you, we're in
    middle of an interview.
[02:00] Sakuraba
    I didn't say I was talking about you.
[02:02] Tendo
    Tsubasa, back me up here!
SIGN    Freelance Writer
[03:38] Tendo
    I was so nervous.
[03:40] Kashiwagi
    The training was worth
    it, wasn't it, Teru-san?
[03:43] Tendo
    You were watching?!
[03:45] Tendo
    A hero of justice!
[03:45] Sakuraba
    Oh, that creepy behavior was
    a practice for the interview.
[03:47] Tendo
    A hero of justice!
[03:49] Tendo
    You, too?
[03:50] Tendo
    A hero of justice!
[03:50] Tendo
    A hero's special training
    is meant to be a secret, you know.
[03:54] Sakuraba
    Then don't practice in the classroom.
[03:56] Tendo
    I can't see "me" without a "me-rror."
[04:01] Tendo
    Man! I'm feeling great!
[04:06] Kashiwagi
    To think we just had an interview.
[04:08] Kashiwagi
    We really are going to debut.
[04:11] Producer
    We'll be having the Dramatic
    Stars debut first!
[04:14] Idols
    Whoa! Really!
[04:16] Tendo
    We just had our promotional photos taken,
[04:19] Tendo
    and our hidden protential is already overflowing!
[04:22] Kashiwagi
    I wonder...
[04:24] Kashiwagi
    Oh, Teru-san, was that a pun, too?
[04:27] Tendo
    It's a joke, not a pun.
[04:30] Producer
    Everyone, thanks for waiting!
[04:33] Producer
    This is the outfit for Dramatic Stars!
[04:37] Tendo
    Whoa! It's so easy to move in these!
[04:40] Tendo
    Also great that it has three stars!
[04:43] Producer
    We're making custom outfits for each unit.
[04:46] Tendo
    You look fascinated.
[04:49] Sakuraba
    The scarf reminds me of some idiot.
[04:52] Tendo
    The scarf is great!
[04:56] Producer
    How is it?
[04:57] Kashiwagi
    It fits perfectly.
    It's a little embarrassing, but...
[05:01] Kashiwagi
    From now on, this outfit
    is going to be my uniform.
[05:07] Tendo
    Our uniform!
[05:08] Kashiwagi
    Yes!
[05:10] Sakuraba
    Producer, I'd like to confirm our
    afternoon schedule with you.
[05:14] Tendo
    What's wrong with the scarf?
[05:14] Producer
    I understand. I'll send over
    what is confirmed for now.
[05:15] Kashiwagi
    Calm down, Teru-san.
[05:16] HM
    Good morning.
[05:18] MR
    Hello, everyone!
[05:19] Pierre
    Shh!
SIGN    Demo Version
[05:22] Producer
    You guys have been taking lessons for
    your debut song these past few weeks,
[05:26] Producer
    and the instructor has said
    it's coming along smoothly.
[05:29] Producer
    So in the next few days,
    we'll do a recording!
[05:32] Kashiwagi
    Oh, a recording!
[05:34] Tendo
    Finally!
[05:36] Producer
    We'll have to do some advertising
    before the CD goes on sale.
[05:39] Producer
    On top of the usual marketing, we'll be having
    more interviews like the one earlier.
[05:45] Tendo
    I'm ready for anything!
[05:46] Producer
    We will also hold an announcement
    party for the press.
[05:49] Kashiwagi
    For the press?
[05:51] Producer
    We will be inviting media organizations
    to a private announcement party.
[05:55] Producer
    There will be more units to debut,
[05:58] Producer
    so we need to make sure to
    leave a good impression.
[06:00] Tendo
    First impressions are important, huh?
[06:02] Kashiwagi
    That's a lot of responsibly.
[06:04] Producer
    We also have a TV appearance.
[06:07] TT/KT
    TV!
[06:09] Pierre
    TV?!
[06:10] Pierre
    That's amazing!
[06:11] WM
    Pierre! Thanks for your hard work.
[06:14] TK
    I'm sorry.
[06:15] Producer
    No worries, I was planning
    on telling everyone later.
[06:19] MR
    Congratulations! Is it a variety show?
[06:22] WM
    Like those hot spring shows?
[06:24] Producer
    Probably not, since it's a music show.
[06:27] Tendo
    Can we sing, by any chance?
[06:28] Producer
    Yes. It's a public recording,
[06:31] Producer
    so you will be performing a
    song in front of an audience.
[06:34] Pierre
    Wow! Amazing!
[06:36] Kashiwagi
    Audience...
[06:38] Tendo
    I'm nervous!
[06:40] MR
    Relax, relax!
[06:41] YJ
    Hey, Rui.
[06:43] HM
    I'd like to start our meeting.
[06:45] MR
    Okay!
[06:46] MR
    You're the first at bat! Good luck!
[06:48] TK
    We will be following after you.
[06:50] Pierre
    Woohoo! I'll work hard!
[06:52] WM
    I'll record it!
[06:53] Tendo
    Yeah! Thanks!
[06:55] Producer
    It'll get busier from now on.
[06:58] Kashiwagi
    I'll do my best!
[06:59] Sakuraba
    No problem. I'll do everything perfectly.
[07:02] Tendo
    All right!
[07:03] Tendo
    Aim for the First Star!
[07:05] Kashiwagi
    Yes!
[07:06] Sakuraba
    Hmph.
SIGN    Thank You Festival!
SIGN    With My Buddy
[08:24] OS
    Today's guest is Kanon-kun the model.
[08:28] Kanon
    My pleasure to be here.
    I'm so happy about the cute clothes.
[08:33] Shirou
    All right then, everyone, come
    with me! First, we'll play tag!
[08:37] All
    Yay!
[08:39] OS
    Wait, let's do rock-paper-scissors!
[08:41] Tendo
    We're going to be on TV.
[08:44] Tendo
    Feels like we're really idols!
[08:47] Sakuraba
    We are real idols.
[08:48] Tendo
    Wha—! I know, it was just a joke.
[08:52] Producer
    Tomorrow is the rehearsal, the
    day after that is the real deal.
[08:57] Kashiwagi
    Thank you for having them
    scheduled on separate days.
[09:01] Sakuraba
    It's good that we can address any
    problems after the rehearsal.
[09:05] Tendo
    Though I'll be nervous for two days instead.
[09:08] Kashiwagi
    That's true...
[09:10] Kashiwagi
    I'm sorry.
[09:12] Kashiwagi
    Are you all right?
[09:13] AR
    Y-Yes. I'm sorry, too. Excuse me!
[09:18] Kashiwagi
    An idol?
[09:20] Tendo
    Tsubasa!
[09:22] Kashiwagi
    Teru-san, your face is creepy!
[09:26] Tendo
    Let's take a photo!
[09:27] Kashiwagi
    That sounds good!
[09:28] Sakuraba
    Producer.
[09:28] Tendo
    Oh! There's a nice looking couch there!
[09:29] Producer
    Yes?
[09:30] Sakuraba
    A CD debut is a big opportunity
    for some exposure.
[09:33] Sakuraba
    Shouldn't we be doing more work?
[09:36] Producer
    As of now, we already have a fan
    event and an in-store concert.
[09:40] Producer
    I don't want you to overwork yourselves.
[09:41] Sakuraba
    Now is the time
    to overwork ourselves.
[09:43] Sakuraba
    I can't allow myself to
    waste a single second.
[09:48] Sakuraba
    You don't need to worry
    about our health.
[09:50] Sakuraba
    Tendou and Kashiwagi have
    plenty of stamina, if nothing else.
[09:53] Sakuraba
    I'd like you to think about it.
[09:55] Producer
    I understand.
[09:58] Producer
    Why don't you rest for today and
    prepare for tomorrow's rehearsal?
[10:02] Producer
    Thank you for your hard work.
[10:03] Tendo
    Thanks for your hard work!
[10:04] Kashiwagi
    You, too, Producer!
SIGN    Please press the button to talk to us.
[10:06] Sakuraba
    We must not be late tomorrow.
[10:08] Sakuraba
    Try not to disrupt the team
    and make us waste time.
[10:12] Tendo
    You, too!
[10:13] Kashiwagi
    Ah, Kaoru-san! Teru-san!
[10:16] Tendo
    Hm?
[10:17] Kashiwagi
    Why don't we go grab dinner together?
SIGN    Special Thick-Cut Tonkatsu
[10:22] Tendo
    I want tonkatsu!
[10:24] Kashiwagi
    That sounds delicious!
    Then I'll have tonkatsu, too,
[10:27] Kashiwagi
    and katsu-don, and katsu-jyu.
[10:28] Kashiwagi
    and a katsu sandwich...
    Oh, hirekatsu sounds good, too!
[10:32] Sakuraba
    Don't you think he's overdoing
    his good-luck ritual?
[10:35] Tendo
    Have you never eaten out with Tsubasa?
[10:38] Sakuraba
    Never mind that, did you have
    something you wanted to talk about?
[10:41] Tendo
    Yeah, what is it?
[10:44] Kashiwagi
    Well, not really talk...
[10:46] Kashiwagi
    I just wanted to eat together.
[10:50] Kashiwagi
    I always have a meal together
    before something important.
[10:55] Kashiwagi
    When I was a pilot, that was a way to show
    that we entrusted our lives to each other.
[11:01] Kashiwagi
    Like to prepare ourselves
    to share our destiny.
[11:05] Tendo
    I see.
[11:06] Sakuraba
    To share our destiny...
[11:08] Kashiwagi
    Being an idol is an important job where
    we're responsible for people's smiles.
[11:14] Kashiwagi
    I want the three of us
    to make this a successful flight.
[11:19] Sakuraba
    Of course.
[11:20] Tendo
    Yeah! I'm determined!
[11:23] Tendo
    Does this mean the dinner's on you?
[11:26] Kashiwagi
    Yes!
[11:27] Sakuraba
    You don't have to pay for a guy like this.
[11:29] Tendo
    What's your problem?!
[11:40] Producer
    Kashiwagi-san.
[11:45] Producer
    You'll be busy tomorrow,
    so don't push yourself, okay?
[11:49] Kashiwagi
    Thank you very much.
[11:51] Kashiwagi
    I wanted to work out parts I'm
    worried about as much as possible.
[11:54] Kashiwagi
    I really want to make the
    TV appearance a success.
[11:58] Kashiwagi
    It's Dramatic Stars'...
[12:00] Kashiwagi
    It's also my first important
    flight as an idol.
[12:04] Producer
    I see. Let's work hard together.
[12:08] Kashiwagi
    Yes!
[12:18] Producer
    We're 315 Productions.
[12:20] Tendo
    We're Dramatic Stars!
[12:22] TT/SK/KT
    It's a pleasure to be working with you.
[12:24] Director
    Yeah, same here.
[12:26] Director
    We'll double-check the set-up and
    camera positions during the rehearsal.
[12:29] TT/SK/KT
    Okay.
[12:35] Tendo
    This is overwhelming...
[12:37] Kashiwagi
    To think there will be
    an audience tomorrow...
[12:40] Tendo
    Want to huddle up?
[12:41] Kashiwagi
    Y-Yes! Let's do that.
[12:44] Kashiwagi
    Kaoru-san.
[12:45] Sakuraba
    There's no such need.
[12:46] Tendo
    Sakuraba, are you not nervous?
[12:49] Sakuraba
    My determination is stronger.
[12:54] Tendo
    What's with you?
    Are you thick-skinned or what?
[12:58] Sakuraba
    Don't say such disgusting things.
[13:00] AD
    Members of Dramatic Stars, please stand by!
[13:03] Tendo
    Yes!
[13:04] Tendo
    Let's go!
[13:10] AD1
    Are you ready?
[13:11] AD2
    Then we're starting the rehearsal!
[13:13] AD1
    Please check the camera!
[13:22] AD2
    Please turn on the lights!
[13:28] Cameraman
    Camera's ready!
[13:30] Director
    Okay, here we go.
[13:32] Sakuraba
    Kashiwagi?
[13:42] Captain
    Kashiwagi! Kashiwagi!
[13:45] Captain
    Kashiwagi!
[13:46] Tendo
    Tsubasa!
[13:50] Director
    Cut!
[13:59] Tendo
    Tsubasa, are you all right?
[14:03] Kashiwagi
    I'm so sorry! My mind went blank.
[14:06] Director
    I know it's a rehearsal,
    but please stay focused!
[14:08] Kashiwagi
    Yes! I'm sorry!
[14:10] Director
    Okay, again!
[14:21] Kashiwagi
    I'm really sorry!
[14:24] Tendo
    Don't worry about it. It
    went well the second time.
[14:28] Sakuraba
    It's fortunate that it didn't
    happen during the real show.
[14:32] Tendo
    Real show...
[14:34] Sakuraba
    Wait, I just meant that you
    should just be careful from now.
[14:38] Tendo
    Yeah! Let's do our best tomorrow!
[14:42] Tendo
    Okay?
[14:44] Kashiwagi
    But...
[14:47] Kashiwagi
    I'll screw up for sure.
[14:50] Kashiwagi
    I'll hold everyone back again.
[14:52] Tendo
    Again?
[14:54] Kashiwagi
    I'm just really no good.
[14:57] Kashiwagi
    The more important it is,
[15:00] Kashiwagi
    the more I end up screwing it up.
[15:03] Tendo
    What are you talking about, Tsubasa?
[15:07] Tendo
    What's wrong?
[15:08] Tendo
    Did something—
[15:09] Sakuraba
    Why do you say you'll screw up?
[15:11] Sakuraba
    Don't say things like that
    before you do anything.
[15:14] Tendo
    Sakuraba.
[15:15] Sakuraba
    What was the point
    of all that practice?
[15:19] Sakuraba
    Isn't it to create the perfect stage?!
[15:22] Tendo
    Hey, stop it!
[15:26] Sakuraba
    I don't plan on faltering before the debut.
[15:28] Sakuraba
    I must...
[15:30] Sakuraba
    I must succeed.
[15:35] Kashiwagi
    I...
[15:38] Tendo
    Producer...
[15:46] Producer
    Everyone, why don't we go
    somewhere for a change?
[16:00] Producer
    Doesn't it feel good?
[16:04] Sakuraba
    What's the point of bringing us here?
[16:07] Producer
    I'll go buy us drinks.
[16:13] Kashiwagi
    I'm sorry I'm always causing trouble.
[16:17] Sakuraba
    The one who brought us here is
    Producer. I'll complain to him.
[16:23] Kashiwagi
    I've never told you guys why
    I quit being a pilot, have I?
[16:29] Kashiwagi
    During my first flight as a
    copilot, I messed up really bad.
[16:36] Captain
    Calm down, it's just turbulence.
[16:39] Captain
    First Officer Kashiwagi! Kashiwagi!
[16:42] Captain
    Kashiwagi! Kashiwagi!
[16:45] Kashiwagi
    I couldn't do anything.
[16:47] Kashiwagi
    I caused trouble for my crew.
[16:51] Tendo
    But it was fine in the end, right?
[16:53] Tendo
    Then that's not—
[16:53] Kashiwagi
    Since then, I could no
    longer get in the cockpit.
[16:59] Kashiwagi
    I was afraid that I'd mess up again.
[17:05] Kashiwagi
    After that, I was transferred
    to a ground crew.
[17:09] Kashiwagi
    Because I loved airplanes and my friends,
[17:12] Kashiwagi
    I was happy to still have continued.
[17:15] Kashiwagi
    But it was painful.
[17:18] Kashiwagi
    Every time I watched a plane take off,
[17:20] Kashiwagi
    I'd keep thinking, "Why?"
[17:26] Kashiwagi
    That's why I absolutely
    wanted to succeed this time.
[17:30] Kashiwagi
    I kept telling myself that I must.
[17:34] Kashiwagi
    And yet...
[17:35] Kashiwagi
    I kept thinking that maybe I'll mess up.
[17:41] Kashiwagi
    I'm just no good...
[17:43] Tendo
    What are you talking about?
    We're just getting started.
[17:45] Tendo
    Let's work hard together.
[17:48] Kashiwagi
    I can't!
[17:49] Tendo
    Why?
[17:49] Kashiwagi
    If I mess up,
[17:50] Kashiwagi
    what happens to Teru-san's
    dream?! Kaoru-san's dream?!
[17:55] Kashiwagi
    I'm really scared!
[17:58] Kashiwagi
    To ruin both of your important dreams...
[18:02] Kashiwagi
    You guys worked so hard,
[18:04] Kashiwagi
    and for me to...
[18:06] Kashiwagi
    I can't...
[18:09] Tendo
    Then what about Tsubasa's dream?
[18:15] Tendo
    Your dream is important, too!
[18:17] Tendo
    You're being way too considerate of us!
[18:20] Sakuraba
    We announced that Dramatic
    Stars is a three-person group.
[18:24] Sakuraba
    It'd be more of a pain if you
    withdrew right before our debut.
[18:30] Tendo
    I'm scared of messing up, too.
    Of course it's scary.
[18:35] Tendo
    But no matter how much I screw up,
[18:38] Tendo
    I'll never give up on my dreams.
[18:40] Tendo
    We just have to keep going.
[18:43] Kashiwagi
    No matter how much you mess up?
[18:46] Sakuraba
    It'll be troublesome if you keep messing up.
[18:48] Tendo
    Hey!
[18:49] Sakuraba
    I will make sure I'm able to
    respond to any kind of unexpected event.
[18:54] Sakuraba
    I am already prepared.
[18:57] Tendo
    Ah, so you're saying you have our backs?
[19:02] Sakuraba
    Besides, without you,
    Dramatic Stars will break up in seconds.
[19:08] Sakuraba
    There's no way I can deal
    with that pun-making machine there.
[19:11] Tendo
    What the hell do you mean?!
[19:15] Tendo
    But I agree with the first half.
[19:18] Tendo
    Tsubasa! Dramatic Stars needs you.
[19:23] Kashiwagi
    I... I am...
[19:27] Sakuraba
    If you don't have any
    motivation, then quit now!
[19:29] Sakuraba
    Forget being an idol, or whatever you said
    about seeing the ultimate view. Just quit!
[19:32] Sakuraba
    Live the rest of your life in regret!
[19:37] Sakuraba
    But it was you who said we share our destiny,
[19:41] Sakuraba
    that we will do it together.
[19:44] Sakuraba
    Did you not mean what you said?
[19:53] Kashiwagi
    I...
[20:01] Kashiwagi
    I want to do it together with the two of you!
[20:08] Sakuraba
    Then hurry up and come.
[20:14] Tendo
    Man, you should've just
    said that to begin with.
[20:17] Kashiwagi
    Teru-san...
[20:22] Kashiwagi
    Kaoru-san...
[20:24] Tendo
    But Doctor Sakuraba, wasn't
    that a little too drastic?
[20:28] Sakuraba
    If I can't make them listen,
    I'll make them speak.
[20:31] Tendo
    Scary... I'm so glad you aren't my physician.
[20:35] Sakuraba
    I wouldn't take such a stupid patient
    if you begged me to.
[20:39] Tendo
    What?!
[20:40] Sakuraba
    I feel pity for your physician.
[20:42] Tendo
    Why are you so mean to me?!
[20:45] Sakuraba
    Shut up, idiot.
[20:45] Tendo
    Listen to me!
[21:00] Tendo
    Tsubasa.
[21:08] Tendo
    Sakuraba!
[21:11] Sakuraba
    Hey...
[21:16] Sakuraba
    You good to go, Kashiwagi?
[21:19] Kashiwagi
    Yes, if I'm with
    Teru-san and Kaoru-san!
[21:26] Tendo
    Let's go!
[22:59] Kashiwagi
    Producer!
[23:00] Tendo
    How was it?
[23:03] Producer
    It was an amazing performance.
[23:07] Tendo
    All right!
[23:08] Sakuraba
    That goes without saying.
[23:10] Kashiwagi
    Producer.
[23:12] Kashiwagi
    The view from the stage was the best!
[23:16] Kashiwagi
    It really was.
[23:19] Kashiwagi
    Teru-san, Kaoru-san...
[23:21] Kashiwagi
    Please continue to take care of me!
[23:24] Tendo
    Yeah!
[23:27] Producer
    Let's see more of the
    wonderful view together!
[23:33] Kashiwagi
    Yes!
