JAXX/JAXX
JOB WELL DONE ON YOUR TOUR
[00:03] ---
Oh geez, the concert was really,
really awesome.
[00:09] ---
I totally saw the three of you
from the stage.
[00:13] ---
Akira and Banri were dancing along with us.
[00:17] ---
It just got too fun.
[00:19] ---
Roar to that star, this song!
[00:23] ---
Right. It was the most
passionate thing ever.
[00:26] ---
Both of them have been hyped up
this whole time since the concert.
[00:30] ---
Everyone, can I have a moment?
[00:39] ---
First off, JAXX/JAXX.
[00:41] ---
I thank you for all the hard work
you put into your national tour.
[00:44] ---
I'm sure you had a lot of hardships,
[00:46] ---
but I think it all paid off,
and it was a great concert.
[00:49] ---
Thanks to you, sMiLea Production
is able to ring in its second year.
[00:54] ---
With JAXX/JAXX, LEGIT,
and now PROTOSTAR joining the ranks,
[00:58] ---
I have heartfelt expectations that
your future activities will be even more radiant.
[01:06] ---
And now, I have
a major announcement to make.
[01:09] ---
- Announcement?
- What could it be?
[01:17] ---
You're wondering what, right?
[01:21] ---
Amazingly enough, the plan for sMiLea Production's
first joint live concert is now set.
[01:27] ---
A joint live concert?
[01:32] ---
And it's called
"sMiLea LIVE -Unite with YOU-"!
[01:39] ---
A live concert. That means we...
[01:42] ---
Yes. This time for sure...
[01:44] ---
In front of an audience...
[03:23] ---
CHINESE RESTAURANT MANPUKU-TEI
[03:28] ---
Oh man, my feet are buckling.
[03:31] ---
I don't think I'll be able to stand up
for a while now that I've sat down.
[03:34] ---
Today's dance lesson
was a lot harsher than usual.
[03:38] ---
Ms. Kyoko really was passionate.
[03:42] ---
She was like, "You guys lack skill
and conviction right now."
[03:46] ---
"Can you set foot
into a joint live like that?"
[03:50] ---
Did you hear about the concert venue?
[03:53] ---
Nope.
[03:54] ---
Apparently there are four floors
in the audience.
[03:56] ---
What?
[03:57] ---
Where should I be looking at while I sing?
[04:00] ---
Naoe. Did you take their orders?
[04:03] ---
Oh, I would like shio ramen.
[04:06] ---
I'll have a shoyu ramen.
[04:08] ---
I'm super jealous. I'm starving, too.
[04:13] ---
By the way, LEGIT was a guest
on the radio today, right?
[04:17] ---
Is it that time already?
[04:24] ---
That’s not true.
[04:26] ---
But really, what kind of group
was Anela through LEGIT's eyes?
[04:31] ---
We were involved as backup dancers
for them, but they were a good team.
[04:36] ---
Lin and Maoto really respected
and heightened each other.
[04:40] ---
I get it.
[04:42] ---
By the way, Eishiro and Daiki knew Anela
back from your dance school days?
[04:48] ---
It was a school tied to the talent agency,
[04:50] ---
so they came in to watch over us
as special instructors.
[04:53] ---
Oh, so current idols coming to instruct
must have made you nervous?
[04:58] ---
- Well, yes, but...
- No, not at all.
[05:01] ---
As I expected
Daiki has nerves of steel.
[05:04] ---
For me, I felt more anxious
than anything else.
[05:08] ---
Like, you can't be a professional
if you can't go this far.
[05:11] ---
Things I was lacking, and techniques...
[05:13] ---
I felt I had to absorb
everything of that nature.
[05:16] ---
This guy kept chasing after Lin after lessons.
[05:20] ---
Yeah, I heard he was like
a stalker or something.
[05:23] ---
Don't say something
that would hurt my reputation.
[05:25] ---
It's true, isn't it?
[05:26] ---
You stormed into Lin's house
and asked him to teach you dancing.
[05:30] ---
Yeah because I can't ask everything
I want to ask in lessons alone.
[05:34] ---
You're quite aggressive.
[05:36] ---
Well, that shows how much
Daiki respected him, doesn't it?
[05:43] ---
That's not it.
[05:45] ---
You're so not honest.
[05:46] ---
Otherwise, you're just a crazy guy who knows
the choreography for every single Anela song.
[05:51] ---
Why you... Are you making fun of me?
[05:53] ---
There's a fine line
between an idiot and a genius.
[05:55] ---
You say that, but you were cheeky enough
to follow me into Lin's house.
[05:56] ---
Now, it's time for a song!
"ON MY WAY" by LEGIT.
[06:00] ---
That's amazing.
[06:02] ---
How Daiki is now the result of continuous
effort from when he was little.
[06:07] ---
JAXX/JAXX went on tour.
[06:10] ---
LEGIT gained experience under Anela.
[06:13] ---
I feel once again that we're going up
on the same stage with some amazing people.
[06:18] ---
Yeah.
[06:21] ---
Huh? Three?
[06:23] ---
Customers have different tastes.
[06:25] ---
Just like ramen, why don't you guys
show your own flavor to your audience?
[06:30] ---
Manager!
[06:32] ---
- Hurry up and eat, then wash the dishes.
- Yes, yes!
[06:35] ---
Time to eat.
[06:48] ---
So nostalgic.
[06:51] ---
Five years have already gone by since
we went to that school.
[06:57] ---
Lin, you were so desperate.
[06:59] ---
You wanted them
as your backup as soon as possible.
[07:03] ---
Right, right. It was such a hassle
to convince the president.
[07:07] ---
He was like, "Just how much
can you take care of them?"
[07:10] ---
But as a result,
they saved us so many times, too.
[07:15] ---
Right. I really appreciated that
innate personality of having no fear.
[07:20] ---
But without Daiki, Anela might have ended
in a much sadder shape.
[07:27] ---
I'm sure that this live concert will be
a special one for the current sMiLea.
[07:43] ---
That's not it.
[07:45] ---
Apparently this is our new song
that we're performing at the joint live.
[07:50] ---
He's been like this all day today.
[07:57] ---
In any case, this is a tremendous amount.
[07:59] ---
Gakuto is really enthusiastic, saying he'll
do the arrangement by himself as well.
[08:03] ---
Gakkun really is a music production machine.
[08:08] ---
Thank you very much.
[08:09] ---
See you again next week.
[08:12] ---
Geez, you enjoyed talking
about anything and everything.
[08:16] ---
Well, it's okay, isn't it?
We have a live concert coming up,
[08:18] ---
so if we can get people to know about
our history and become interested in us...
[08:22] ---
Then stop throwing me under the bus.
[08:24] ---
Hey, Maoto sent us something.
[08:26] ---
Huh? Maoto?
[08:28] ---
That's unusual.
[08:33] ---
This is Maoto.

[08:36] ---
Gaining unity to go even higher.
[08:39] ---
I made this song embracing a wish
[08:43] ---
to deliver the feelings you have
to a lot of people as you proceed in life.
[08:46] ---
I listened to it.
It was such a great song!
[08:50] ---
Yeah. It's bright, and the kind of song
that makes you want to look forward.
[08:55] ---
Whoa. Hat's off to you, Maoto!
I can't be falling behind.
[08:58] ---
After you made that many?
[09:00] ---
Surprisingly, Maoto wanted to write the lyrics
for this song as well.
[09:05] ---
I want to cherish this song, too.
[09:08] ---
After all, this will be a song
that all of you will unveil together.
[09:13] ---
What's with that idiotic look on your face?
[09:15] ---
Huh? Did I have such a look?
[09:20] ---
I wonder why?
[09:21] ---
Ever since listening to this song yesterday,
my heart won't stop racing.
[09:26] ---
Just being able to get up on stage
is something amazing.
[09:29] ---
But when I think about all of us
singing this song together...
[09:32] ---
Well, it's a good song.
[09:35] ---
Yeah.
[09:36] ---
But then, who's gonna be
the lead for the joint song?
[09:39] ---
Oh, that's a good question.
[09:43] ---
Isn't it?
[09:45] ---
This is where we have one proposal.
[09:50] ---
Okay, who wants to be lead?
[09:53] ---
Me!
[09:54] ---
- Not to be arrogant, but...
- I aim for the pinnacle.
[09:57] ---
Just as I thought.
[10:00] ---
It really is a popular spot.
[10:03] ---
But why me, too?
[10:04] ---
It's fine. Let's aim
to become the lead together.
[10:07] ---
This is quite an interesting proposition
for us to determine the lead on our own.
[10:11] ---
Yeah. Lin said everyone had enough talent
and charisma to fulfill the role.
[10:17] ---
That means I can too.
[10:20] ---
Well, it's not a bad thing to be dancing
at the very front every so often.
[10:24] ---
This is amusing.
[10:25] ---
You three from PROTOSTAR
don't want to try?
[10:28] ---
Oh, we're still not...
[10:31] ---
You don't have to worry about that.
[10:36] ---
But you know, with this many people,
how are we going to decide?
[10:40] ---
I guess it would have to be by vote?
[10:41] ---
But everyone will just vote for themselves.
[10:45] ---
Then we won't be able to decide, right?
[10:47] ---
That means it will depend on the three
PROTOSTAR members who are not candidates.
[10:51] ---
W-We're going to be deciding?
[10:54] ---
That's too much of a burden.
[10:56] ---
You're right.
[10:58] ---
Even if we were to vote, it's not like
we can do it right now, right?
[11:01] ---
But even if we say this is homework,
the situation won't change.
[11:05] ---
Are you okay with that?
[11:10] ---
Then we should decide for ourselves?
[11:12] ---
I feel like this will be
a really difficult process.
[11:15] ---
It’s everyone.
[11:18] ---
Every single person
will be a candidate for the lead.
[11:20] ---
There’d be no issues that way.
[11:21] ---
Does that mean we are candidates as well?
[11:25] ---
If you're not confident in fulfilling it,
pick someone else.
[11:28] ---
If that's not the case, vote for yourself.
[11:36] ---
Decide before the next time...
This homework is pretty hard.
[11:41] ---
I'm starting to lose confidence.
[11:44] ---
I don't intend on voting
for myself in the first place.
[11:47] ---
But you should.
[11:50] ---
Takao.
[11:54] ---
Thanks for that earlier.
[11:55] ---
For noticing that
I wanted to raise my hand.
[11:58] ---
It's not for you in particular.
Don't misunderstand.
[12:02] ---
It's not fair for all the idols
to not fight on the same stage, right?
[12:08] ---
Thanks!
[12:20] ---
Oh, so it really is you, Akira.
[12:22] ---
Huh? Gakuto,
was your house this way?
[12:26] ---
I'm going to drop by a club
that I'm familiar with.
[12:29] ---
They took good care of us
during the tour, too.
[12:30] ---
JOINT SONG DEMO
[12:32] ---
Deciding the lead for the joint song
sounds really difficult.
[12:35] ---
What about you, Akira?
Are you going to vote for yourself?
[12:41] ---
I’ve been having strange feelings.
[12:43] ---
I was thinking how this time,
[12:45] ---
we’d deliver our PROTOSTAR's songs
as best as we possibly can.
[12:51] ---
But after hearing the joint song,
[12:53] ---
and imagining how everyone
would be standing on stage...
[12:56] ---
You were standing in the lead spot?
[12:58] ---
Oh, um, well...
[13:00] ---
That's some confidence.
[13:02] ---
I don't have confidence.
[13:03] ---
I only started dancing and singing
about six months ago.
[13:07] ---
I couldn't even raise my own hand
like you were able to.
[13:13] ---
CROSSFIRE
[13:19] ---
But because I was given a chance,
I thought I should at least try a little bit.
[13:24] ---
In my head,
the lead is a success if he has fun.
[13:30] ---
The passion and reliance
from your members...
[13:33] ---
You feel all of that with your entire body,
and it nudges you forward, I guess?
[13:37] ---
If you're standing in the lead spot
amongst all that,
[13:39] ---
you get so much more power
than singing by yourself, right?
[13:43] ---
That's why I felt that being the lead
and feeling the passion from all these members
[13:48] ---
would be super fun.
[13:51] ---
Gakuto, you kinda feel like
the protagonist from a manga.
[13:57] ---
That's right.
[13:59] ---
I really loved Crossfire, too.
[14:09] ---
Are you Daiki Takao?
[14:13] ---
I'm from Izushima Publishing.
[14:15] ---
May I have a moment of your time?
[14:27] ---
Oh? Did you go to school today?
[14:31] ---
Can I have a minute?

Akira.
[14:55] ---
Hey.
[14:57] ---
Hey, Akira.
[14:59] ---
Hey, are you okay?
[15:01] ---
Ugh, I couldn't solve
any of the problems.
[15:04] ---
What should I do? I'm totally going to fail.
[15:07] ---
So that's what it was.
[15:08] ---
I thought you were depressed because of
that thing about your agency.
[15:12] ---
Agency?
[15:13] ---
What? You haven't seen it?
[15:17] ---
Here.
[15:20] ---
Idol group L.
The shocking truth about its lead!
A scandal from an agency operated by
a former legendary idol.
#WeeklyBunshun #ScoopNewsFlash
#IdolGroupL #FormerLegendaryIdol
[15:23] ---
Kacchan, this means...
[15:26] ---
By "Group L’s lead" do they mean Daiki?
[15:30] ---
That's what we thought, and contacted Daiki.
[15:33] ---
But none of our messages
show up as read.
[15:35] ---
This is such an important time for us.
What the hell did he do?
[15:39] ---
But it's not necessarily going to be
something bad, right?
[15:45] ---
All right! A home run.
[15:54] ---
Not bad, Dai.
[15:57] ---
Kanata, do you know something?
[15:59] ---
Know or not, something like that
is always about girls.
[16:04] ---
Huh? Really?
[16:05] ---
That's unexpected.
[16:07] ---
If it was something like that,
he could have sought me for advice.
[16:10] ---
And what are the grounds that
you can declare something like that?
[16:13] ---
Any time I invite him to go eat out,
he always says he'll eat at home.
[16:18] ---
Not once has he come with me.
[16:21] ---
Right? That just has to be it.
[16:23] ---
Oh. Yeah, you're right.
[16:27] ---
Quite the master detective.
[16:29] ---
But no matter what it's about,
we can’t help but worry about it.
[16:37] ---
You're kidding me.
[16:39] ---
Seriously?
[16:41] ---
We should keep this to ourselves for now.
[16:44] ---
Right.
[16:45] ---
Until we confirm the truth, we can't
make Akira's group unnecessarily worried.
[16:51] ---
Fuga, Eishiro.
[16:53] ---
Can I have a minute?
[17:13] ---
Sheesh, just how long are they taking?
[17:15] ---
Fuga and Eishiro mentioned
they had to talk with Ms. Harumi...
[17:19] ---
But what about Daiki?
[17:21] ---
Looks like he's not here yet.
[17:23] ---
We're going to decide the lead
for the joint song today, right?
[17:26] ---
Yup. And we need to start
learning the choreography soon.
[17:30] ---
Um, I saw it.
[17:33] ---
There was some weird article on the internet.
[17:35] ---
Article?
[17:35] ---
Did something happen to Takao?
[17:38] ---
Oh, so you've already seen it.
[17:40] ---
I'm sorry,
we don't know the details either.
[17:48] ---
Sorry to make you wait.
[17:52] ---
Next week's tabloid magazine?
[17:55] ---
Yeah.
[17:56] ---
Apparently they wrote that Lin,
who was active as Anela,
[17:59] ---
injured his leg and retired
from the idol scene
[18:01] ---
because of Daiki who was
his backup dancer at the time.
[18:06] ---
By Lin's injury,
you're talking about that dome concert?
[18:09] ---
The one that both Fuga and Eishiro
were backup dancers?
[18:13] ---
Yeah. We were accompanying
Anela's tour together with Daiki.
[18:18] ---
Of course,
we remember that injury incident as well.
[18:21] ---
I was there, watching the concert.
[18:31] ---
If I recall, Lin suddenly disappeared
from the stage,
[18:35] ---
and Daiki immediately
started dancing Lin's part.
[18:38] ---
From those of us in the audience,
[18:41] ---
it looked like that was
the intended stage production of sorts.
[18:43] ---
That's how natural
Daiki stepped into the role.
[18:46] ---
Of course, we learned through media
that Lin had fallen and gotten injured.
[18:51] ---
The article states that Daiki shoved Lin
off the stage because he wanted to stand out.
[18:59] ---
I had heard that it was an accident.
[19:01] ---
Daiki danced in his place
[19:03] ---
because it was the only thing to do
to not stop the concert midway.
[19:11] ---
I'm so glad.
[19:13] ---
That means he continued
his performance to the very end
[19:16] ---
because he didn't want
the audience to worry.
[19:22] ---
That's not it.
[19:25] ---
You...
[19:26] ---
What do you mean, that's not it?
[19:28] ---
It wasn’t an accident,
and something you did intentionally?
[19:32] ---
Daiki, they told you to take a break
for today, didn't they?
[19:35] ---
That’s not what I decided, though.
[19:38] ---
We don't have time until our joint live concert.
[19:40] ---
I can't take a break for something so stupid.
[19:45] ---
So, what are we gonna do?
[19:48] ---
Who's gonna be the lead?
[19:52] ---
If you can't decide, I'll do it.
[19:55] ---
What? All of you are so damn quiet.
You got complaints or what?
[19:58] ---
In a few days, the entirety
of the article will be public.
[20:02] ---
No matter how far it strays from the truth,
the public will not stay silent about it.
[20:06] ---
Do you have the resolve to stand
as the lead even when that happens?
[20:11] ---
Are you saying
that I don't have the qualifications?
[20:14] ---
This is just a generalization.
[20:16] ---
No smoke without fire.
[20:18] ---
This case is because the tabloids had a chance
to take advantage of your behavior.
[20:24] ---
Are you seriously saying that?
[20:26] ---
Takao.
[20:27] ---
Then who's gonna do it?
This guy who hasn't even debuted?
[20:30] ---
Or this guy who's only been in bands?
[20:33] ---
Or you, who keeps saying you want
to become the prime minister?
[20:38] ---
In the first place, do you guys seriously think
you can stand up there as the lead?
[20:43] ---
Let me tell you what a lead is.
[20:45] ---
You take all the responsibility and pressure,
and shoulder all the burden as the lead.
[20:49] ---
You always act all chummy.
You're all softies.
[20:52] ---
With such an amateur way of thinking,
you can't survive in this world.
[20:56] ---
Unlike all of you, I'm aiming for the top.
[21:00] ---
We've been looking at different things
from the very beginning.
[21:05] ---
If you want to do it that badly,
you can do it.
[21:08] ---
But if I was in the audience,
[21:11] ---
I wouldn't want to watch a performance
with someone like you as the lead.
[21:16] ---
If we can't feel that it's fun,
[21:18] ---
the fans won't feel everything
that we want to tell them.
[21:21] ---
Right now, you yourself
are the only person on your mind.
[21:27] ---
I'm hungry, so I'll go home early.
[21:30] ---
Wait. Hey, Gakkun.
[21:31] ---
I'll eat out before going home,
so don't worry about my share of the meal.
[21:35] ---
Hold on a sec.
[21:37] ---
I'll go home too.
[21:41] ---
Sorry.
[21:46] ---
Wh-What should we do?
[21:48] ---
This is the worst atmosphere.
