[00:03] ---
This is the lesson room.
[00:06] ---
It's surprisingly spacious.
[00:08] ---
There's another one upstairs.
[00:11] ---
This is the locker and shower room.
[00:13] ---
You can use any of the open lockers.
[00:16] ---
This is the vocal lesson room,
[00:18] ---
and you're already acquainted
with the conference room.
[00:20] ---
The kitchen and fridge
are at your disposal as well.
[00:25] ---
Oh, but never, ever
open the shelf next to the oven!
[00:27] ---
WHY DID YOU OPEN THIS?
IF YOU TAKE ANY, YOU’RE FIRED
I WON’T FORGIVE YOU
I WON’T FORGIVE YOU
I WON’T FORGIVE YOU
[00:34] ---
FOR LIN ONLY
[00:37] ---
And I think that's about it
for a tour around the office.
[00:40] ---
And...
[00:43] ---
Are you sure about this?
[00:46] ---
An idol. You'll go through with it, right?
[00:50] ---
Oh. R-Right.
[00:54] ---
Akira, your mother
sounds like a fun person.
[00:58] ---
Oh, Mom told me to bring that here.
[00:59] ---
SWEET BUNS
[01:01] ---
I was surprised, too.
[01:03] ---
It was an instant answer, and she
was like, "Please take care of him!"
[01:07] ---
And...
[01:08] ---
The special sweet buns
from Fukujuan in the traditional district.
[01:11] ---
I love these things.
[01:16] ---
Akira, you're still a minor, so I'm glad
that your parents are so supportive.
[01:24] ---
Can someone like me
really become... an idol?
[01:31] ---
It's not like
I'm especially good at singing,
[01:35] ---
and I've never really danced before.
[01:42] ---
The phrases "not possible" and "can't do"
only decrease your possibilities.
[01:46] ---
Maoto, can you get some tea?
[01:48] ---
Okay!
[01:49] ---
Harumi, please go easy on him.
[01:53] ---
This is our office staff Harumi.
[01:55] ---
She used to work as our manager.
[01:57] ---
Nowadays she supports
our work as an agency.
[02:01] ---
In essence,
Haru is more like the president here.
[02:04] ---
That's because you do none
of the president's work!
[02:06] ---
Is that so?
[02:07] ---
The special sweet buns...
[02:09] ---
You're Akira Kiyose?
[02:11] ---
Y-Yes!
[02:15] ---
Nice meeting you!
[02:20] ---
Yes.
[02:24] ---
Then that settles it.
[02:26] ---
It settles it.
[02:30] ---
Is that what this is about?
[02:38] ---
Oh, perfect. We have everyone here.
[04:28] ---
And so, the three of you will officially sign
with sMiLea Production as idols.
[04:35] ---
Though, you will start
as trainees in the beginning.
[04:38] ---
For a while, you’ll be
taking lessons that we provide.
[04:42] ---
Okay.
[04:43] ---
Uh, okay.
[04:45] ---
Let's introduce ourselves first.
Include your name and your handle.
[04:50] ---
I'm Suzu.
[04:52] ---
My real name is Chihiro Isuzugawa.
I'm a first year in high school.
[04:55] ---
- Suzu?
- Wait, you're that Suzu?
[04:58] ---
That Suzu?
[05:01] ---
Which Suzu?
[05:05] ---
I'm EVAN!
[05:07] ---
My real name is Banri Naoe,
and I'm a third year in high school!
[05:10] ---
Oh, that guy who portrays
a princely character.
[05:13] ---
You know about me?
Thank you!
[05:17] ---
That means you've watched my videos.
[05:17] ---
That princely character?
[05:18] ---
Those prince illustrations
that I had asked to be drawn
[05:20] ---
A prince?
[05:21] ---
are all so wonderful, so I was worried
my singing dragged it down.
[05:22] ---
Oh, right! I didn't explain
in detail to you yet, Akira.
[05:27] ---
Just like you,
these two are singers on MyTube.
[05:33] ---
I'd like to have the three of you
gathered here to become active as a group.
[05:39] ---
Huh? A group?
[05:42] ---
A vocal group that used to be
online singers.
[05:45] ---
A new type of idol that utilizes
their experiences as musicians.
[05:50] ---
That’s the selling point.
[05:53] ---
Akira?
[05:55] ---
Akira.
[05:58] ---
He's Akira Kiyose,
second year in high school, 16 years old.
[06:05] ---
Um, I'm Akira Kiyose.
[06:10] ---
I am... KIKUNOYU?
[06:13] ---
Nice to meet you guys.
[06:16] ---
Oh! KIKUNOYU!
[06:18] ---
I thought I recognized
your face and voice from somewhere.
[06:21] ---
See, this illustration!
[06:24] ---
Oh, now I remember. You've been
active from about last year, right?
[06:29] ---
I've been checking you out
from back then.
[06:32] ---
I commented my impressions, too.
[06:36] ---
Th-Thank you.
[06:40] ---
I told you, it's not my fault!
[06:43] ---
Your selfish behavior
ruins the discipline of the entire team.
[06:47] ---
What you're doing is autocracy itself.
[06:50] ---
Oh geez!
[06:51] ---
You always say stuff I don't understand!
[06:54] ---
We just got back!
[06:56] ---
Welcome back!
[06:58] ---
Oh? Are those the new folks
you were talking about?
[07:01] ---
Yup!
[07:02] ---
Banri, Akira, and Chihiro.
[07:06] ---
I'm Fuga Togo. Nice to meet you.
[07:09] ---
Y-Yes! Nice to meet you, too!
[07:12] ---
I'm Eishiro Nijo. In time, I will become
a man far more famous than I am now.
[07:18] ---
It wouldn't hurt for you to remember me.
[07:20] ---
Huh? What's with that introduction?
[07:22] ---
Stupidly cheesy.
Colluding like that is totally useless.
[07:28] ---
And you can't give
a proper introduction at all?
[07:30] ---
Well, see you!
[07:33] ---
They’re the same as ever.
[07:35] ---
They're LEGIT.
Make sure you don't end up like them.
[07:41] ---
The leader of LEGIT, Daiki Takao.
He's quite an unsociable guy.
[07:50] ---
Daiki... Takao?
[07:59] ---
The real LEGIT was so awesome.
[08:03] ---
Hey, what are you guys doing from now?
[08:05] ---
I-I am...
[08:07] ---
I came here by train,
so if you'll excuse me.
[08:10] ---
Huh? You're going home already?
[08:12] ---
We were called out to group up,
so let's hang out a bit more.
[08:16] ---
I want to know
more about the both of you, too!
[08:25] ---
I see, then...
[08:28] ---
I've been wondering
from the very beginning,
[08:31] ---
but what is with that look of yours?
[08:36] ---
Are you acting like a celebrity already?
[08:43] ---
Why don't you
take that disguise off already?
[08:46] ---
It's so stuffy.
[08:49] ---
You can't!
[08:57] ---
A-Are you okay?
[09:03] ---
I can't fake a smile, I can't play it well
[09:09] ---
Topcoat areas that appear to be peeling off
[09:13] ---
Greediness, Faking it
I don't want anymore
[09:19] ---
So it wasn't a disguise because
you didn't want people to know it was you,
[09:23] ---
but you were always like this?
[09:26] ---
I'm here, my true self
[09:26] ---
The illustrations
for the videos show my ideal self.
[09:30] ---
Back in middle school, friends kept joking
that my face looked like a girl's.
[09:31] ---
No one will notice, no one will know
[09:37] ---
But if I was an online singer,
I wouldn't need to show my face at all,
[09:37] ---
Just forget about me, I'll be me
Just keep the memory
[09:41] ---
so I thought it would be perfect.
[09:44] ---
Are you intending on doing everything
as an idol looking like that?
[09:47] ---
Stay by my side
[09:49] ---
That's just it.
[09:50] ---
I don't say anything, I don't touch anything,
I'm just attached to you
[09:51] ---
I did consult Lin and Maoto
about this just in case, but...
[09:58] ---
But that's okay
If I reach out for you
[09:58] ---
Banri, you're good at singing.
[10:03] ---
Well, to be honest, I have my doubts
about the concept of a prince,
[10:04] ---
Will I wake up from this beautiful dream?
[10:06] ---
but I think you're worthy of respect.
[10:08] ---
Really?
[10:12] ---
I had always looked up to idols
from when I was little.
[10:14] ---
It's okay if you break me
[10:16] ---
I’ve always wanted to wear
glittering outfits and sing on the stage!
[10:21] ---
So when the two Anela guys
approached me, I was really happy.
[10:27] ---
Of course, I feel uneasy
about showing my face.
[10:36] ---
That's right.
Can I listen to your songs too, Chihiro?
[10:38] ---
No way.
[10:40] ---
Oh, I subscribe to his channel.
Hold on a second.
[10:44] ---
You don't have to pull mine up.
[10:47] ---
Where is this dream going?
[10:52] ---
I'm still thinking about you
[10:57] ---
Standing right beside you
[11:02] ---
Are we together in the future?
[11:07] ---
Are the two of us smiling together?
[11:11] ---
You sound like a pro.
[11:13] ---
Yeah. Chihiro's voice is so clear,
it's just so comforting to listen to.
[11:19] ---
I still have a long, long way to go.
[11:21] ---
I sing like an amateur, and my vocalization
and my high-pitched singing are absolutely terrible.
[11:28] ---
That's why I thought about testing myself.
[11:32] ---
I understand that the world of expression
is a tough place,
[11:35] ---
but there has to be a lot of things
that I can only learn in such a place.
[11:40] ---
You're so mature.
[11:44] ---
Akira, why did you decide
to become an idol?
[11:47] ---
Huh? Me?
[11:51] ---
I-I guess I'm similar to you guys.
[11:55] ---
I was interested in idols.
[12:04] ---
I see.
[12:05] ---
Banri, your family is from Shimane?
[12:07] ---
Yeah.
[12:08] ---
I moved out here as soon as
signing with them was a done deal.
[12:12] ---
I got stubborn with my parents
and just came out to Tokyo,
[12:14] ---
so I have a part-time job
at a Chinese restaurant nearby.
[12:17] ---
Banri, you're so mature too.
[12:19] ---
Really?
[12:20] ---
Akira, you don't have
a part-time job or anything?
[12:23] ---
I don't.
[12:24] ---
I occasionally get an allowance helping out
with the family public bath, but that's about it.
[12:28] ---
A public bath?
Is that what your family does?
[12:32] ---
Oh. Yeah.
[12:34] ---
Though it's a run-down bathhouse
that my great-grandpa built.
[12:38] ---
Does that mean
your handle name KIKUNOYU is...
[12:41] ---
Y-Yeah.
[12:44] ---
That’s right.
[12:48] ---
Just what I'd expect from an established
public bath that has lasted for a long time.
[12:51] ---
The old traditional palace-style construction
is just simply superb!
[12:55] ---
KIKUNOYU
[12:56] ---
So this is where
you got the "KIKUNOYU" name.
[12:59] ---
You guys didn't have to come to my place.
[13:01] ---
Chihiro seems to be having fun.
This is great!
[13:04] ---
Not great at all.
[13:05] ---
Let's take a bath!
[13:07] ---
Huh? You're going in?
[13:11] ---
I’m home.
[13:13] ---
Oh, this is Grandpa.
[13:15] ---
- Please excuse us!
- That boy is completely useless.
[13:18] ---
Hey, Akira, you were home?
[13:21] ---
Acchan, I heard!
[13:23] ---
You're gonna be the breadwinner
of the household now?
[13:27] ---
You're so young, but you're so admirable.
You want some ice cream?
[13:30] ---
It's nothing like that!
[13:32] ---
Old man Harada, don't spread extra rumors!
[13:34] ---
Oh, welcome back.
[13:37] ---
I thought Kacchan was here.
[13:40] ---
Are these your friends from school?
[13:41] ---
Pardon us.
[13:43] ---
They're now my group members.
Banri and Chihiro.
[13:46] ---
Group? For your idol?
[13:49] ---
Yeah.
[13:50] ---
Oh, really?
[13:52] ---
Such long legs. You look great!
[13:54] ---
Chihiro seems to be interested
in our bathhouse.
[13:58] ---
It's an old bath,
but make yourself at home!
[14:01] ---
Come on, go in, go in. Don't hesitate.
[14:03] ---
Oh no, but I haven't paid yet.
[14:05] ---
No, it's fine. Akira will be
in your care from now on.
[14:08] ---
You can come by
to take a bath any time you want!
[14:10] ---
- Oh, thank you very much.
- Come on!
[14:12] ---
Hey, kids!
[14:14] ---
Thank you! Thanks to you guys, this salon
for the elderly won't go out of business.
[14:21] ---
Come on!
[14:21] ---
Grandpas, you guys should all go home
once you're out of your bath!
[14:30] ---
This slightly hot temperature
is so comforting.
[14:36] ---
You know. I'm sorry.
[14:41] ---
All those grandpas
from the neighborhood...
[14:44] ---
Oh.
[14:45] ---
It's not a big deal, is it?
[14:47] ---
All of them are cheering for you.
[14:50] ---
Really?
[14:51] ---
However, I'd thought
something was strange,
[14:55] ---
but you're going to become
an idol to support your family income.
[15:00] ---
That's not exactly how it is.
[15:10] ---
I accepted the offer for an idol only because
Mom replied to them without telling me.
[15:17] ---
And I didn't know my friend uploaded
all those MyTube videos, either.
[15:22] ---
So it's not like
you want to become an idol?
[15:25] ---
It's not that I don't like singing.
[15:29] ---
But as an idol?
[15:33] ---
I don't have aspirations like that.
[15:37] ---
So in the end,
all of this is only going to trouble you, right?
[15:46] ---
I myself still don't know the right answer.
[15:52] ---
But I think you're much
more fortunate than I am.
[15:58] ---
Everyone is expecting something from you.
[16:04] ---
It’s nothing. My apologies.
[16:09] ---
I was happy about this.
[16:12] ---
A-Are you okay?
You're working up a sweat there.
[16:16] ---
I mean, I was able to join
an idol agency I admired,
[16:20] ---
and the two members I grouped up with
are two online singers I love so much.
[16:26] ---
I'm surprised you can say something
like that without feeling ashamed.
[16:29] ---
You think so?
[16:30] ---
But Akira,
you like singing too, don't you?
[16:34] ---
Well, yeah.
[16:36] ---
Then, wouldn't that be enough reason
for you to become an idol?
[16:40] ---
Liking something, and having fun...
[16:43] ---
If you had that in your everyday life,
[16:46] ---
I'm sure you'd get excited
each and every day!
[16:49] ---
And that would lead you to wanting
to do something in a certain way,
[16:52] ---
or become a certain person.
[16:53] ---
Maybe you'll find something
that you would like to challenge?
[16:58] ---
Maybe you're right about that.
[17:01] ---
I can tell because
I've watched your videos.
[17:04] ---
I can really feel that you're truly
having fun when you're singing.
[17:08] ---
I can understand that.
[17:11] ---
Especially that opening theme
for Crossfire.
[17:14] ---
Oh! Banri, do you like Crossfire?
[17:17] ---
Yeah, of course!
[17:18] ---
Our generation generally
has a phase with that anime.
[17:22] ---
I noticed that your smartphone case
was Crossfire, too.
[17:27] ---
At night, this place gets completely empty.
[17:31] ---
And that's when I sing Crossfire alone
in a really loud voice!
[17:35] ---
Because my voice echoes so much,
it feels really, really good!
[17:45] ---
It really does.
[17:46] ---
Doesn't it?
[17:47] ---
Overflowing to the max
[17:50] ---
What, you're gonna sing right now?
[17:51] ---
Like a burning sun
[17:51] ---
Hold on just a second!
[17:54] ---
You're not singing that part properly.
[17:59] ---
Overflowing to the max
[18:02] ---
That's how it goes.
[18:04] ---
Hold on, can I sing along with you?
[18:08] ---
Of course!
[18:10] ---
Ready, set...
[18:12] ---
Overflowing to the max
[18:16] ---
Like a burning sun
[18:19] ---
Our now won't stop shining
[18:25] ---
My heart is shouting
[18:29] ---
Go and overcome yesterday
[18:31] ---
This moment in the roaring cheers
with you laughing
[18:41] ---
Crossfire put your glory on and let loose
[18:53] ---
Sound echoes in this place! It's the best!
[18:56] ---
That was super fun!
[18:58] ---
Yes, it really... was....
[19:19] ---
Wh-What are you doing?
[19:21] ---
It'd be troublesome if you collapsed.
[19:25] ---
Just as I thought.
You're just an ordinary handsome guy.
[19:30] ---
When you hide a face like that,
it gives me bad vibes about you instead.
[19:34] ---
You're right.
He's just like a real prince.
[19:38] ---
R-Really?
[19:40] ---
Hey, I'm not weird or anything, am I?
[19:42] ---
Stop it, you’re too close.
[19:43] ---
But you just said I was handsome!
Just like a prince!
[19:46] ---
I didn't say you were a prince!
[19:49] ---
Hey, hey! You didn't say that, Chihiro?
Then who said it?
[19:50] ---
Your face is right there.
[19:57] ---
Akira?
[19:58] ---
Huh? Oh.
[20:01] ---
Akira!
[20:14] ---
We sang too much.
[20:16] ---
The long bath is making us dizzy.
[20:19] ---
Now I really can’t wait for the day
the three of us sing on stage.
[20:24] ---
You can talk to us
without hiding your face now.
[20:29] ---
I think I'm okay
in front of the two of you.
[20:32] ---
Oh, that's right!
[20:34] ---
I was just thinking about the costumes
that the three of us would wear.
[20:37] ---
I'm not going to wear a crown,
nor white tights.
[20:40] ---
Wait, how did you figure it out?
[20:42] ---
Was it telepathy?
[20:43] ---
Oh, perhaps we really were destined to be?
[20:47] ---
Banri, you're really oppressing
even without your mask.
[20:50] ---
Agreed!
[20:51] ---
Huh? You're so horrible!
[22:30] ---
I told you that's not right!
[22:32] ---
What isn't? Speak more logically.
[22:36] ---
You just have to match my movements!
That's easy, isn't it?
[22:39] ---
And I'm telling you to explain that
more clearly with words.
[22:44] ---
Can't you tell by feeling?
[22:46] ---
Yes, hello?
[22:46] ---
You're too self-centered.
[22:48] ---
Oh, Fuga. Is it okay to talk right now?
[22:49] ---
You should think about others a bit more.
[22:51] ---
If you match what I do,
everything solves itself!
[22:51] ---
Yeah, totally. What's wrong?
[22:53] ---
Ciao-ppi!
[22:54] ---
Are you doing well?
[22:56] ---
We're going to run this again.
[22:56] ---
I heard LEGIT's new song!
[22:59] ---
Super cool! The best sound!
[23:01] ---
Come on, it's dangerous
so sit down properly.
[23:03] ---
Hey, are you listening?
[23:04] ---
Lin gave us the song data, and we were
all listening to it in the car just now.
[23:05] ---
You guys are geniuses!
That song already has such good vibes!
[23:10] ---
Come on Jun,
you should say something too!
[23:12] ---
Come on. How'd you feel, Jun?
[23:13] ---
It was awesome.
[23:16] ---
Thanks.
[23:16] ---
Shut up.
[23:17] ---
I'm sorry. Gakuto and Kanata
just wouldn't have it unless I called.
[23:17] ---
We'll do this as many times as it takes!
[23:21] ---
Your tour going well?
[23:22] ---
Yeah.
[23:23] ---
We'll all visit your live show.
[23:23] ---
It felt like, zoom-zoom-zoom!
[23:26] ---
Thanks for taking the time to call.
[23:27] ---
You really do get it!
[23:28] ---
I'm sorry for calling when you're busy.
[23:30] ---
Talking to you gets me nowhere.
[23:30] ---
I'll hit you up again sometime.
[23:31] ---
- Are you making fun of me!?
- I’m not—
[23:32] ---
Later!
[23:34] ---
Stop goofing off and practice!
[23:40] ---
It's your fault.
[23:41] ---
It's not my fault. It's yours!
[23:43] ---
Shall we get started now?
[23:44] ---
Give me a clear explanation
of why it's not you.
[23:47] ---
She was pissed that Fuga
was on a phone call!
