Are you ready?
[01:08] ---
Take you down
with all my experience and skills
[01:12] ---
In a few seconds,
you'll be enthralled and out of control
[01:18] ---
YOU SURRENDER
[01:20] ---
Fate Dance is in the palm of your hand
[01:24] ---
You can't resist
[01:27] ---
When you realize
"Something is wrong"
[01:31] ---
Game was over
Sleep on my chest
[01:36] ---
I can't miss it, you are on target
[01:40] ---
- YOU’RE TARGET
- MOVING ALL DAY AND NIGHT
[01:42] ---
Sensitive to Search
[01:44] ---
Pride resides in these Eyes on TARGET
[01:48] ---
Inside heart, shoot it into you
[01:56] ---
A flash of light beckons eternity
[02:04] ---
Shoot into your obedient heart
[02:20] ---
HEY, IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT
[02:28] ---
And so, that was footage of Anela
from the past.
[02:32] ---
It really was amazing!
[02:35] ---
And from their talent agency...
[02:36] ---
My heart is shouting
[02:38] ---
SPACE BASEBALL
CROSSFIRE
[02:39] ---
Go and overcome yesterday
[02:41] ---
Roar, Crossfire!
[02:43] ---
To tomorrow!
[02:49] ---
Stare...
[02:54] ---
Wh-What is it?
[02:56] ---
I'm observing my son's growth.
[02:59] ---
Respect my privacy, at the least!
[03:01] ---
Seriously, stuff like that gets you hated!
[03:05] ---
How you said that just now.
[03:07] ---
Wh-What?
[03:11] ---
It totally sounded like your dad!
[03:16] ---
That's enough.
[03:17] ---
Oh, you're okay with bread
for breakfast, right?
[03:19] ---
Anything’s fine.
[03:21] ---
LEGIT's three members
used to be backup dancers.
[03:25] ---
The members of JAXX/JAXX
all used to be in a different talent agency.
[03:28] ---
Time to eat.
[03:33] ---
What is this?
[03:39] ---
Mom! The miso soup!
[03:41] ---
What of it?
[03:42] ---
There's a sweet yellow furball
in the miso soup!
[03:46] ---
That's pineapple!
[03:48] ---
I got it from Mr. Suzuki,
one of the regulars!
[03:50] ---
It's sweet and delicious, right?
[03:54] ---
Hey, can I throw this underwear out?
[03:57] ---
No way! They don't sell that anymore!
[03:59] ---
But this is from back when you were
in grade school, and the colors are all faded.
[04:03] ---
It's fine. I can still wear it.
[04:05] ---
When you leave the house,
take some tea to Grandpa!
[04:08] ---
Yeah, yeah.
[04:20] ---
Next up is today's weather.
[04:22] ---
Here’s your tea.
[04:23] ---
Tomorrow will be
completely different from today.
[04:25] ---
Hey Grandpa, did you eat the miso soup
in this morning's breakfast?
[04:29] ---
Huh?
[04:30] ---
I said, in Mom's miso soup...
[04:33] ---
Huh?
[04:35] ---
It’s nothing.
[04:36] ---
I'm heading out!
[04:39] ---
And those clothes are mine,
so don't get them dirty. See you!
[04:44] ---
And some areas may see showers
starting in the late afternoon.
[04:53] ---
So hot.
[06:31] ---
ELECTRONIC WORKSHOP CLUB
WE DO REPAIRS, TOO!
[06:33] ---
Is Kacchan here?
[06:34] ---
It's probably the connection
to the power source.
[06:36] ---
I'll have it done by Monday.
[06:38] ---
You're seriously a lifesaver.
[06:40] ---
Oh, that thing from the other day.
I just need to send you the JPEG?
[06:42] ---
Yeah, that's fine.
[06:44] ---
Then I'll be back on Monday!
[06:46] ---
See ya!
[06:48] ---
Hey there.
[06:49] ---
Was that Saito from Class 5?
[06:51] ---
Yeah. He wants me to fix his laptop.
[06:54] ---
Come to think, Saito won an award
in an art contest held by some group, right?
[07:00] ---
Yeah, he did. He's already got a job
at an illustration firm when he graduates.
[07:05] ---
Seriously? That's amazing
because he's still a first year.
[07:09] ---
It's so nice to have some special talent.
[07:11] ---
You can do something, too.
[07:13] ---
Like what?
[07:14] ---
What about baseball?
[07:15] ---
You're giving up on that?
[07:19] ---
Don't get all mopey
just because you failed once.
[07:23] ---
Your dream is to become a hero, right?
[07:30] ---
How to put it...
[07:33] ---
When you become an adult,
you're able to see reality.
[07:36] ---
In the end, dreams and heroes
are in the world of anime.
[07:41] ---
Huh? Then the adults who chase their dreams
are all kids who can't face reality?
[07:47] ---
They're a lot more radiant
than someone wasting their days away like you.
[07:51] ---
Huh? That totally hurts me!
[07:54] ---
Yeah, yeah. That's enough.
[07:56] ---
Let's go blow off some stress.
[08:00] ---
This moment in the roaring cheers
with you laughing
[08:08] ---
Crossfire
[08:13] ---
Akira, sing this next.
[08:17] ---
Man, can I really sing this?
[08:27] ---
See ya!
[08:28] ---
Yeah!
[08:40] ---
PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOUR TOWEL
IN THE BATHTUB
[08:43] ---
MILK - 100 YEN
(°YOU CAN'T TAKE THE BOTTLE WITH YOU)
[08:46] ---
Hey, you coulda caught that one!
[08:47] ---
What's that guy doing?
[08:50] ---
It's been a while, Akira.
[08:52] ---
Have you been studying hard?
[08:54] ---
Well. Yeah.
[08:56] ---
Oh, hey Toda!
[08:57] ---
Good evening.
I brought something for the grandpas.
[09:01] ---
Our company made sample beers.
Would you like some?
[09:04] ---
Oh, sounds good!
[09:06] ---
- Come on, sit with us!
- Grandpas, if you're out of the bath, head on home!
[09:09] ---
Aya, this massage chair isn't moving again.
[09:13] ---
Huh? Again?
I just fixed the boiler last week, too.
[09:15] ---
KIKUNOYU
[09:17] ---
This public bath is so run-down!
[09:21] ---
POST
[09:41] ---
So in this upcoming new term...
[09:49] ---
Hey, Akira!
[09:50] ---
Hey, Kacchan.
[09:52] ---
Are you skipping the school assembly
from the first day of the new term?
[09:55] ---
Our homeroom teacher's gonna be Teruo.
[09:57] ---
I don't care about that. Look at this!
[10:00] ---
YOU HAVE RECEIVED A DIRECT MESSAGE
FROM sMiLea PRODUCTION
[10:01] ---
S-Smil-ea?
[10:04] ---
What is this?
[10:05] ---
I got an email from a talent agency.
[10:08] ---
Why?
[10:09] ---
Hey, get to your seats!
[10:10] ---
We're gonna go to their agency
after school.
[10:13] ---
Why?
[10:14] ---
Huh? I'm going too?
[10:19] ---
Hey, did you see the new video from EVAN?
[10:22] ---
I did!
[10:23] ---
It was super cute!
[10:30] ---
This place?
[10:31] ---
Looks like it.
[10:53] ---
Wow, so spacious!
[10:57] ---
Welcome.
[10:59] ---
Wow! Maoto Tsujido!
[11:02] ---
Oh? It's that time already?
[11:04] ---
Sorry, I'll be right over.
[11:06] ---
Lin Otsuki.
[11:08] ---
They're really Anela.
[11:09] ---
Anela?
[11:11] ---
You’re the kids of KIKUNOYU, right?
[11:12] ---
Yes, that's right. I'm Yoshikazu Ogawa.
[11:14] ---
Kikunoyu?
[11:15] ---
Nice to meet you.
[11:16] ---
Why is our...
[11:17] ---
Whoa.
[11:20] ---
Welcome to sMiLea Production!
[11:25] ---
Once again, welcome to sMiLea Production.
[11:29] ---
I'm Lin Otsuki,
producer and vice representative!
[11:32] ---
I'm Maoto Tsujido, the representative.
[11:34] ---
- Lin, I’ll see you later.
- Yeah.
[11:38] ---
Nice meeting you.
[11:41] ---
Thank you for coming
all the way out to our office today.
[11:44] ---
No problem.
[11:45] ---
Then, let's cut to the chase.
[11:47] ---
Just like the email I sent,
I had you come here today...
[11:50] ---
We accept!
[11:56] ---
I'm glad you're up for it,
but don't be so hasty.
[11:59] ---
I just want to talk to you guys for today.
[12:03] ---
That's true.
[12:04] ---
So if you're Yoshikazu,
that means you're Akira Kiyose?
[12:09] ---
Huh?
[12:10] ---
I've heard you singing.
[12:12] ---
Relaxed yet kind.
You have a good voice.
[12:15] ---
The number of views KIKUNOYU is getting
has skyrocketed in the past few months.
[12:19] ---
Thank you very much.
[12:20] ---
Huh? What? H-Hold on a second!
[12:23] ---
My singing? Number of views?
What’s going on?
[12:28] ---
You're been uploading my singing
on the internet!?
[12:30] ---
Right! Our artist name is KIKUNOYU.
[12:33] ---
Oh, I took that name
from your family's bathhouse.
[12:36] ---
Basically, it's just videos
in the "cover songs" genre.
[12:39] ---
You did this without telling me!
[12:41] ---
When were you even recording my voice?
[12:44] ---
Karaoke.
[12:45] ---
Karaoke?
[12:46] ---
Yup. Smartphones
have good audio quality lately.
[12:50] ---
Well, even then I had to cut some noise out,
and it's scary if people find out who we are,
[12:54] ---
so I commissioned illustrations
for the videos.
[12:56] ---
Editing all of them
were pretty difficult too, you know?
[12:59] ---
That's not what I'm talking about!
[13:01] ---
Now, now, now.
[13:02] ---
Calm down, both of you.
[13:06] ---
I'm slightly surprised that Akira
wasn’t aware of all of this.
[13:09] ---
But, how about it?
Would you like to try it out?
[13:18] ---
An idol!
[13:23] ---
An idol!?
[13:24] ---
Yup.
[13:25] ---
This agency was created for training
young idols who have potential.
[13:31] ---
The groups under our wing are LEGIT,
a dance-vocal group that debuted last year,
[13:36] ---
and JAXX/JAXX, a band. They both debuted
at the same time, and they're both skilled.
[13:42] ---
They’re our flagship groups.
[13:44] ---
I saw the news coverage
of the debut press conference!
[13:45] ---
Thanks.
[13:47] ---
We're an agency that hasn't had
much time since creation.
[13:50] ---
But fortunately, both groups
are getting on track for success.
[13:53] ---
So we'd like to dig up the next
new idol group, and nurture them.
[13:56] ---
That's what I was thinking
when I sent you an invitation.
[13:59] ---
Isn't this something amazing? An idol!
You can become a professional singer!
[14:11] ---
Akira. We really feel gratitude
for Yoshikazu.
[14:16] ---
Because we were able to find you like this.
[14:21] ---
And one more thing. About Maoto...
[14:24] ---
He doesn't show much interest in things other
than music, but he was telling me very happily...
[14:30] ---
"This kid properly expresses
his emotions onto his songs."
[14:34] ---
"Happiness, fun, pain, sadness, doubt."
[14:39] ---
He said they were all right there,
living within you.
[14:45] ---
Do you like singing?
[14:49] ---
I don't hate it.
[14:55] ---
It's not like we want you
to give us an answer right away.
[14:59] ---
If there's something else that you want to do,
we won't force your hand.
[15:03] ---
However, I'd be delighted if you at least
think about it a little bit.
[15:10] ---
Okay.
[15:12] ---
I'm sorry we had you
come all the way out here.
[15:15] ---
It’s no problem.
[15:16] ---
By the way, that uniform...
[15:18] ---
We’re from Seisho High School.
[15:19] ---
Oh, just as I thought.
[15:21] ---
Race through, we're going up high
[15:24] ---
Nobody can stop us
[15:26] ---
Take off to the unexperienced zone
[15:28] ---
That's the group LEGIT.
[15:28] ---
Let the sparks fly, we’re gonna burn up, fire
[15:30] ---
They have a member
who’s the same age as you two.
[15:31] ---
Fire, fire, ahh yeah yeah, fire, fire
[15:34] ---
We gotta get up,
fire, fire, ahh yeah
[15:36] ---
Okay, be careful on your way back.
[15:38] ---
Thank you very much.
[15:40] ---
Akira.
[15:43] ---
Your singing voice has the power
to enchant other people.
[15:47] ---
At least, that's what I think.
[15:57] ---
I'm sure I inconvenienced you.
[16:02] ---
Sorry. I got all worked up by myself.
[16:07] ---
No. It's just that singing and idols
were something out of the blue.
[16:15] ---
So it surprised me a little bit.
[16:21] ---
Hey...
[16:23] ---
If you don't mind, can you take a look
at the KIKUNOYU videos?
[16:29] ---
They're pretty popular.
[16:48] ---
They really exist.
[16:52] ---
And so many...
[17:05] ---
I'm not so good at mornings, you see
[17:08] ---
Is this really my voice?
[17:09] ---
Intoxicated by the light
gifted from that day
[17:14] ---
Smiling at me from afar
Maybe it was the work of a witch
[17:17] ---

[17:18] ---
AMAZING! HE’S SO GOOD
I LOVE HOW HE SINGS!
I THINK THIS IS MY FAVORITE COVER

Young legs wobbling

That's what you saw, a monster

[17:36] ---
AKIRA - CALL
[17:40] ---
Hey, Kacchan?
[17:42] ---
I saw the videos.
[17:45] ---
Oh, I see.
[17:48] ---
So?
[17:51] ---
Why did you keep the video creation
a secret from me to begin with?
[17:55] ---
If I told you beforehand that
I'd upload your singing on the internet,
[17:59] ---
you'd absolutely refuse, right?
[18:01] ---
Well, yeah.
[18:02] ---
Besides, you really lost your spirit
after you quit baseball.
[18:09] ---
Sorry.
[18:10] ---
As for me...
[18:11] ---
There's a part of me
that wanted to try making videos.
[18:15] ---
But I wanted you to be happy.
[18:18] ---
Huh?
[18:19] ---
You may think that
you have no real personal trait.
[18:25] ---
But I like your singing.
[18:29] ---
And you always sing that one song
from back in grade school, right?
[18:33] ---
CROSSFIRE?
[18:36] ---
Every single day, like an idiot.
[18:38] ---
Who cares? I like it.
[18:40] ---
I know that.
[18:42] ---
But when I watch you singing it,
I don't know why but I get cheered up.
[18:48] ---
Even when I'm depressed, or having
a tough time, when I watch you happily singing,
[18:54] ---
I feel like you're giving me
some of that good energy.
[18:57] ---
That's why I thought I wanted
even more people to listen to you.
[19:05] ---
A lot more, a ton of people.
[19:18] ---
Yeah.
[19:21] ---
Yup, thanks.
[19:25] ---
Thank you.
[19:27] ---
Are you crying?
[19:30] ---
No, I'm not crying.
[20:09] ---
Thank you very much!
[20:12] ---
You know, Mom...
[20:15] ---
What is it?
[20:18] ---
Um, well, I...
[20:22] ---
I don’t know what to do,
so I wanted to get some advice.
[20:25] ---
What is it? You're making it
sound so important.
[20:30] ---
There's something I want to do.
[20:35] ---
Um, a-an idol—
[20:39] ---
I already know.
[20:41] ---
You mean sMiLea, right?
I already gave my okay.
[20:45] ---
- Sheesh, you really do care about your mother!
- Why? Why do you know about that?
[20:49] ---
And you gave them your okay?
[20:50] ---
I mean, you're still a minor, right?
[20:54] ---
The talent agency contacted me, and asked if
it was all right because they scouted you as an idol.
[20:59] ---
I-I haven't decided if I want to do this!
[21:01] ---
You'll be fine.
[21:02] ---
You're handsome just like your dad.
[21:04] ---
And how you're so naive
will grab the hearts of all the girls!
[21:07] ---
Oh, Aya, this new one is really good!
[21:11] ---
Isn't it?
[21:13] ---
Oh, you have a new massage chair.
Did you buy it?
[21:15] ---
I splurged.
[21:17] ---
You said you didn't have money.
[21:18] ---
I'm celebrating in advance!
[21:20] ---
If we're a public bath that's the family home
of an idol, we might gain new customers, right?
[21:24] ---
If that happens,
we'll be set here at Kikunoyu!
[21:28] ---
What, Akira is gonna be an idol?
[21:31] ---
That's right!
[21:32] ---
He's gotta hold a recital here at Kikunoyu.
[21:35] ---
Yo! Public bathhouse idol!
[21:38] ---
Everyone gets coffee-flavored milk on me!
[21:41] ---
Sounds great! Aya, you're the best!
[21:43] ---
Drink! Drink up!
[21:46] ---
Oh, welcome.
[21:48] ---
We've been waiting.
[21:51] ---
Um, I...
[21:55] ---
After all...
[21:57] ---
An idol.
[22:04] ---
An idol.
[22:07] ---
I'll be one!
[22:09] ---
I think?
[23:45] ---
Perfect. We have everyone here.
