[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?
