**[00:00] ---**
- Are the cameras ready?
- Yes.
**[00:07] ---**
There's a ton of them
at the back entrance, too.
**[00:09] ---**
Wh-What should we do?
**[00:10] ---**
We have to get in there.
**[00:13] ---**
Oh! You guys are PROTOSTAR, right?
**[00:16] ---**
Is it true that Mr. Takao
drove Mr. Otsuki to retirement?
**[00:16] ---**
Huh? What? Um, please let us through.
**[00:19] ---**
The joint live concert might be canceled,
but have you heard anything about that?
**[00:19] ---**
I don't know much about that.
**[00:23] ---**
We finally got in.
**[00:25] ---**
They only trouble us when they ask us.
**[00:28] ---**
Things are blowing up
a lot more than we had imagined.
**[00:32] ---**
What will happen to the concert?
**[00:34] ---**
Lin and Maoto haven't shown up
to the agency since.
**[00:38] ---**
And the reporters were saying there were
rumors of the concert being canceled.
**[00:42] ---**
Eishiro, were you able
to contact the two of them?
**[00:45] ---**
Yes. But I only heard that they'll
have Daiki hold back work for a while.
**[00:50] ---**
Oh, I don't get it at all.
**[00:52] ---**
There's nothing to be ashamed of, right?
**[00:54] ---**
Then why do we have to go through
the effort of hiding Dai?
**[00:58] ---**
I'm sure Lin and the others
have something in mind.
**[01:02] ---**
Maybe Dai really did shove Lin off?
**[01:06] ---**
No.
**[01:10] ---**
We want to flatly deny it too, but we didn't
see the actual moment of Lin's fall.
**[01:12] ---**
A TARNISHED TURNING OF TABLES
**[01:16] ---**
Since they told us it was an accident,
I believe that to be the truth.
**[01:20] ---**
However, seeing how he acted the other day,
it's not surprising everyone suspects him.
**[01:25] ---**
Daiki was always particular
about being the lead.
**[01:29] ---**
Then maybe he really...
**[01:32] ---**
I don't think that's the case.
**[01:35] ---**
Takao just isn't that kind of person.
**[01:38] ---**
But Akki, you got a mouthful
from him too, right?
**[01:41] ---**
Like about being the lead
even before you debuted?
**[01:44] ---**
Takao was the one who gave me
a chance to be the lead.
**[01:48] ---**
I wanted to nominate myself for the lead,
but I just didn't have the courage to.
**[01:53] ---**
But that’s when Takao said it would be fair
if all of us fought on the same stage.
**[01:59] ---**
Takao isn't the type of person to outwit someone,
or rise up at another person's expense.
**[02:04] ---**
I think Takao did what he did because he was
trying to tell me to fight him fair and square.
**[02:11] ---**
That's why I will believe in him.
**[02:13] ---**
There is no way that Takao
would shove Lin down.
**[02:16] ---**
There’s absolutely no way.
**[02:19] ---**
Akira.
**[02:21] ---**
I-I also think the same thing
as what Akira just said.
**[02:25] ---**
Indeed, if he just wanted himself to shine,
**[02:28] ---**
he wouldn't allow everyone
to become lead candidates.
**[02:31] ---**
Furthermore, he wouldn't allow himself
to be part of a group.
**[02:37] ---**
Right.
**[02:38] ---**
Sorry. It was all because
I made a thoughtless comment.
**[02:42] ---**
You're right. If we can't believe in him,
who will stand on his side?
**[02:51] ---**
That was awesome, Akira.
**[02:55] ---**
Let's go through with the concert.
**[02:57] ---**
As long as we don't give up,
I'm sure we can make it happen.
**[03:01] ---**
I want everyone...
all 11 of us to stand on that stage.
**[03:07] ---**
By the way,
what are the work plans for LEGIT?
**[03:12] ---**
You two can't possibly be doing all of it?
**[04:48] ---**
You're kidding. Why me?
**[04:50] ---**
No way. No way.
**[04:52] ---**
You're kidding. You're kidding.
**[04:54] ---**
You're kidding. You're kidding.
**[04:56] ---**
You're...
**[04:59] ---**
Please support us for sMiLea LI...
**[05:04] ---**
All right.
**[05:05] ---**
Okay, Team sMiLea.
**[05:06] ---**
Go get 'em, Jun.
**[05:08] ---**
sMiLea LIVE -Unite with YOU-
**[05:11] ---**
*Well then, everyone,
see you again tomorrow.*
**[05:17] ---**
From here we not only have
Eishiro and Fuga from LEGIT,
**[05:20] ---**
but Gakuto Haruka from JAXX/JAXX
dropped by the studio today as well.
**[05:25] ---**
Ciao-ppi. Nice to be here, guys.
**[05:31] ---**
Oh geez. We're the only ones
who can't be of any help.
**[05:35] ---**
We do what we can do.
That's what's best for this agency.
**[05:41] ---**
I know that, but...
**[05:42] ---**
Hey, Akira. What do you...
**[05:52] ---**
Oh, that was so fun.
**[05:55] ---**
Thanks to JAXX/JAXX, we really
got some help back there. Thank you.
**[05:59] ---**
After all, we have someone
who never gives up.
**[06:02] ---**
We were able to advertise
our concert as well, so it's totally okay.
**[06:05] ---**
I apologize. We ended up
roping everyone into our issue.
**[06:11] ---**
You know, I’d been thinking
about myself too much lately.
**[06:14] ---**
So to be honest,
I just didn't have any breathing room.
**[06:19] ---**
The audience for a joint live concert
won't just be JAXX/JAXX fans, right?
**[06:23] ---**
So I was thinking of writing a song that people
who don’t know about us can also enjoy.
**[06:29] ---**
But I lost my way.
**[06:32] ---**
I stand on stage
and sing because it's fun.
**[06:35] ---**
And I want to try being the lead
for the joint song.
**[06:38] ---**
But for him, it wasn't just that.
**[06:40] ---**
When I thought that he's standing on stage
with some kind of burden,
**[06:44] ---**
it honestly made me frustrated.
**[06:49] ---**
All right, I'm going to hand back
your exam papers from the other day.
**[06:54] ---**
Kondo.
**[06:56] ---**
Sugawara.
**[06:58] ---**
I didn’t see anything.
Oh no! I forgot!
I’ll order it for you.
Thank you~
I’m sorry...
I have supplementary lessons,
so I can’t practice tomorrow.
**[07:04] ---**
And I thought I could practice
all day tomorrow, too.
**[07:14] ---**
SUPPLEMENTARY LESSON CLASSROOM
SECOND YEARS
**[07:27] ---**
Wait. T-Takao?
**[07:40] ---**
You're distracting me.
**[07:41] ---**
Oh. Sorry.
**[07:45] ---**
I didn't think you’d be here
for supplementary lessons, too.
**[07:51] ---**
Wait. Where are you going?
**[07:53] ---**
I can't concentrate in a place like this.
I'm gonna go study in a diner.
**[07:58] ---**
I think you're probably safer to stay at school.
**[08:14] ---**
Were they at the agency?
**[08:19] ---**
Those reporters.
**[08:21] ---**
Yeah. What about your place?
**[08:25] ---**
I stayed home the whole time,
so nothing, really.
**[08:28] ---**
I see.
**[08:30] ---**
Everyone at the agency decided that
we'll split up the work until you come back.
**[08:36] ---**
That said, I don't have the experience
that would let me help,
**[08:40] ---**
and I'm taking supplementary lessons
like this as we speak.
**[08:45] ---**
Did you read the article?
**[08:49] ---**
That was the truth.
**[08:51] ---**
I was the one who robbed Lin
of his life as an idol.
**[09:02] ---**
Encore! Encore!
**[09:05] ---**
- Is Lin done changing?
- Two more minutes!
**[09:08] ---**
Lin.
**[09:09] ---**
Everyone is already standing by.
Wait...
**[09:11] ---**
What happened?
**[09:17] ---**
It's pretty swollen.
**[09:19] ---**
I screwed up a bit earlier.
**[09:22] ---**
But it's nothing serious, so can you
keep this quiet from Harumi and Maoto?
**[09:26] ---**
They're worrywarts.
**[09:28] ---**
But...
**[09:29] ---**
Encore! Encore!
**[09:33] ---**
I can't stop a performance midway.
**[09:39] ---**
Anela has to be perfect.
**[09:43] ---**
We are Anela because we are perfect.
**[09:46] ---**
And entertaining the audience
to the end of the finale.
**[09:50] ---**
That's what it means to be a professional.
**[09:54] ---**
*Situations of adversity*
**[09:58] ---**
*Ride smoothly, let me ride*
**[10:00] ---**
*Seize every opportunity and chance*
**[10:04] ---**
*Up, up*
**[10:10] ---**
Look out!
**[10:21] ---**
Daiki!
**[10:46] ---**
*No reason to stop,
we still gotta make it hot*
**[10:48] ---**
*To make it come true,
Never good enough*
**[10:53] ---**
*Yeah, Break border*
**[10:56] ---**
And before I knew it,
the concert was over.
**[10:59] ---**
Okay, let’s go.
**[11:05] ---**
Lin had ruptured a ligament in his leg,
**[11:07] ---**
and was diagnosed that he would never
be able to dance vigorously ever again.
**[11:11] ---**
But that's...
**[11:12] ---**
What if I had somehow stopped Lin
at any cost back then?
**[11:16] ---**
What if I had grabbed his arm
as he was falling?
**[11:23] ---**
The fact that I danced in Lin's place might
have been nothing more than self-satisfaction.
**[11:33] ---**
You guys still aren't done?
**[11:36] ---**
What's up with you both?
You've been looking so blue this afternoon.
**[11:40] ---**
I have an errand to run after this.
**[11:42] ---**
So if you don't hurry up
and finish the problem sets...
**[11:48] ---**
I know.
Both of you, come with me.
**[11:55] ---**
I was wondering what we'd do when I heard
we were missing two from illness.
**[11:57] ---**
Wait, why do we
have to play in his game?
**[11:59] ---**
Really. Teruo really is a lifesaver.
**[12:01] ---**
Oh no, it's nothing.
**[12:02] ---**
Geez. You lightheartedly accepted.
**[12:05] ---**
You were going off about how I’d be safer
in school, but this makes it meaningless.
**[12:11] ---**
Y-You're right.
**[12:17] ---**
B-But maybe this will take
your mind off of things.
**[12:25] ---**
Here goes.
**[12:31] ---**
Oh, sorry. Was that a bit too strong?
**[12:43] ---**
Have you played baseball in the past?
**[12:47] ---**
Yeah, I did.
Though only up to middle school.
**[12:52] ---**
I see.
**[13:03] ---**
I troubled all of my teammates
because of my own actions.
**[13:07] ---**
That's why I quit baseball.
**[13:10] ---**
I lost sight of my goals
and the things I wanted to do.
**[13:13] ---**
Even when I was invited to become an idol,
a part of my mind still remained clouded.
**[13:19] ---**
But on that day...
**[13:20] ---**
I saw you singing up on stage,
and I thought, "Oh, idols really are awesome."
**[13:26] ---**
So, the reason why I feel like
becoming an idol right now
**[13:30] ---**
is all thanks to you back then.
**[13:36] ---**
We challenge you!
**[13:41] ---**
Here they are.
Our nemesis, the Destroyers.
**[13:47] ---**
That's our opponent?
**[13:50] ---**
Hey, that guy over there.
**[13:54] ---**
Wait, that's the owner
of that nightclub, isn't it?
**[14:02] ---**
What?
**[14:05] ---**
I didn't hear about him being here, too.
**[14:07] ---**
He's just like us.
He said the club owner asked him.
**[14:23] ---**
Batter's out.
**[14:39] ---**
Three outs. Change.
**[14:42] ---**
That was a pretty good swing.
**[14:44] ---**
Don't worry about it.
**[14:50] ---**
Let's switch gears and keep going.
**[14:57] ---**
- Go for it, Gakuto!
- Sock it to 'em!
**[15:00] ---**
This one's mine.
**[15:02] ---**
Right field.
**[15:06] ---**
Good going, Gakuto!
**[15:07] ---**
- Nice batting!
- All right!
**[15:19] ---**
AWAY: DESTROYERS
HOME: FIGHTERS
**[15:53] ---**
This one's mine.
**[15:55] ---**
Strike. Batter's out!
**[15:58] ---**
Sorry.
**[16:00] ---**
Takao.
**[16:00] ---**
Bottom of the ninth, with two outs.
You’re our last resort.
**[16:04] ---**
Please keep things going.
**[16:05] ---**
Huh? Me?
**[16:07] ---**
If you're out, the game is over.
We lose.
**[16:11] ---**
We're counting on you.
**[16:16] ---**
Takao.
**[16:19] ---**
It's all right. You'll be able
to hit the ball. I'm sure of it!
**[16:25] ---**
Geez, where does that confidence
of yours come from?
**[16:39] ---**
Strike!
**[16:45] ---**
Strike two!
**[17:20] ---**
Is he going to go for second base?
**[17:23] ---**
Takao.
**[17:34] ---**
Safe!
**[17:36] ---**
Whoa! Are you serious?
**[17:40] ---**
Not bad, Daiki.
**[17:46] ---**
Shut up.
**[17:48] ---**
What? I thought you’d be
more depressed than that.
**[17:52] ---**
It's not like I'm depressed or anything.
**[17:55] ---**
Really? But your one comment
made me think.
**[18:01] ---**
Just like you said, I felt that
we were looking at different things.
**[18:06] ---**
Good to be here.
**[18:06] ---**
But maybe the "top" that you're aiming for
was the same thing that I was striving to be.
**[18:11] ---**
I want to deliver our songs to people
all over the world someday.
**[18:17] ---**
Through live concerts,
through being idols...
**[18:20] ---**
I want to connect with everyone
across the globe.
**[18:23] ---**
What's this so suddenly?
I don't get it at all.
**[18:26] ---**
Right.
**[18:27] ---**
But Akira was the one who said it.
**[18:29] ---**
Strike!
**[18:30] ---**
He said he wanted all 11 of us
to be on stage.
**[18:33] ---**
Akira was the only one who believed in you
the whole time, from the beginning.
**[18:44] ---**
Everyone was getting uneasy.
**[18:46] ---**
The article about you, and how that
may make us unable to hold the live concert.
**[18:52] ---**
But Akira's stance of never giving up,
**[18:55] ---**
his strong feelings of believing in you,
changed how everyone else felt.
**[19:18] ---**
Oh man.
**[19:20] ---**
Daiki.
**[19:22] ---**
We still haven't decided the lead
for the joint song.
**[19:25] ---**
Though, I’ve already decided
who I’ll be voting for.
**[19:29] ---**
What will you do, Daiki?
**[19:32] ---**
I did it, Takao!
**[19:43] ---**
Huh? Wait, Takao.
**[19:46] ---**
Let's go.
**[19:48] ---**
Wait a minute. Go? Go where?
**[19:52] ---**
Hey you guys,
where do you think you're going?
**[19:54] ---**
Home base is over there.
**[20:05] ---**
Hey! Where were you guys,
and what were you doing?
**[20:10] ---**
What's the commotion about? Oh.
**[20:12] ---**
Hey. Why is Dai here?
**[20:18] ---**
Daiki.
**[20:20] ---**
We heard from Lin. We...
**[20:24] ---**
Sorry. It was my fault.
I caused everyone trouble.
**[20:28] ---**
Being an idol is everything to me.
That's why I was hung up on being the lead.
**[20:33] ---**
But now, I don't feel anything like that.
**[20:36] ---**
I want to stand on stage with you guys.
As LEGIT, and as a member of sMiLea.
**[20:43] ---**
And that's why...
**[20:44] ---**
I’m entrusting
the joint song’s lead spot to him.
**[20:48] ---**
I think you can pull it off.
**[20:50] ---**
Just like how you believed in me,
I'm going to believe in you.
**[20:55] ---**
Takao.
**[20:57] ---**
A lead isn't all about
pressure and responsibility.
**[20:59] ---**
You need a strong will
that guides everyone else along.
**[21:03] ---**
And you're the one
who made me realize this.
**[21:10] ---**
I agree with Daiki.
**[21:12] ---**
So? What do you think, Akira?
**[21:16] ---**
I... I...
**[21:23] ---**
I want to do it.
**[21:25] ---**
I want to be in the lead spot.
**[21:29] ---**
I agree.
**[21:31] ---**
Yeah. I think Akira will be good.
**[21:34] ---**
- Me too.
- Yeah, me too.
**[21:44] ---**
Akira, this is amazing.
**[21:46] ---**
The lead spot! The lead!
**[21:48] ---**
- You're gonna be the lead.
- Congratulations.
**[21:50] ---**
Th-Thanks.
**[21:51] ---**
By the way, I made up my mind.
**[21:55] ---**
What'd you decide on?
**[22:02] ---**
The song we'll showcase
at the joint concert.
**[23:47] ---**
WHAT KIND OF IDOL DO YOU WANT TO BE?
