[00:22] ---
    Kanata.
[00:23] ---
    All right.
[00:25] ---
    Jun.
[00:26] ---
    Yup.
[00:27] ---
    Homare.
[00:29] ---
    Okay.
[00:30] ---
    Gakuto.
[00:31] ---
    Ready!
[00:35] ---
    We have today
    thanks to everyone here.
[00:38] ---
    I don't think we could have come this far
    if any one of us was missing.
[00:42] ---
    Final day of our national tour.
[00:47] ---
    Let's go!
[00:48] ---
    Yeah!
[00:53] ---
    TWO YEARS AGO
[00:59] ---
    Oh, I'm so pissed!
[01:02] ---
    Why the hell did we have to get fired?
[01:05] ---
    Kanata, you're being a nuisance
    to the neighborhood.
[01:07] ---
    Homaren, are you okay with this?
[01:09] ---
    Of course not.
[01:11] ---
    But you knew this would happen
    soon, didn't you?
[01:16] ---
    But those old geezers didn't even listen
    to the songs Jun created, either.
[01:22] ---
    I'm frustrated about that too, but...
[01:25] ---
    Don't worry about me.
    Are you okay, Kanata?
[01:30] ---
    I'm thinking right now.
[01:38] ---
    What's wrong?
[01:40] ---
    Something’s there.
[01:46] ---
    A person?
[01:48] ---
    Hey, are you okay?
[02:00] ---
    Thanks for this meal.
[02:08] ---
    How dynamic.
[02:10] ---
    There's still plenty left.
[02:12] ---
    More, please.
[02:14] ---
    Okay, okay.
[02:15] ---
    He sure eats like it's tasty.
[02:17] ---
    I mean, it is tasty.
[02:19] ---
    You should eat slowly.
[02:21] ---
    - I can keep eating forever.
    - Here you go, Harry.
[02:22] ---
    Homare, bring a lot more for him.
[02:25] ---
    Okay, okay.
[02:28] ---
    That was delicious.
[02:30] ---
    Homare's cooking was super tasty.
[02:33] ---
    Thanks.
[02:36] ---
    Let's see. Gakuto, was it?
[02:39] ---
    You're a middle school student
    or thereabouts?
[02:40] ---
    Yeah, a second-year.
[02:42] ---
    Why were you unconscious
    at such a place...
[02:45] ---
    Can it be some crime?
    You got caught up in some trouble?
[02:50] ---
    Nope, not at all.
[02:52] ---
    I wanted to work in music,
    so I came to Tokyo.
[02:55] ---
    I'm staying over at a relative's place for now.
[02:57] ---
    Music?
[02:58] ---
    Yeah. Guitars and singing and stuff.
[03:01] ---
    But when I sing, I use a lot of energy,
    so I get hungry no matter how much I eat.
[03:06] ---
    So my aunt's meal wasn't enough.
[03:09] ---
    When I perform a live show, the venue owner
    gives me a meal, but that's still not enough.
[03:15] ---
    So I was wandering around, and before I knew it,
    I was surrounded by you guys.
[03:21] ---
    Music? What kind?
[03:24] ---
    You interested?
[03:26] ---
    Then you should come listen to my songs.
[03:42] ---
    Gakuto's band is...
[03:44] ---
    Wow, Gakkun performs
    with those old guys.
[03:48] ---
    This is quite an interesting group.
[04:58] ---
    How was it, everyone?
[04:59] ---
    Gakkun, you're totally amazing.
[05:02] ---
    Great voice.
[05:03] ---
    Yup, it was
    a really wonderful performance.
[05:06] ---
    Thanks.
[05:08] ---
    What about you, Izumi?
    What'd you think?
[05:12] ---
    Oh, um...
[05:16] ---
    It really was amazing.
[05:18] ---
    I see. I'm glad.
[05:20] ---
    But the folks in your band
    are quite a bit older than you, right?
[05:24] ---
    Oh, I'm just helping out.
[05:27] ---
    Helping?
[05:28] ---
    More like volunteer?
[05:29] ---
    It all started because I knew the venue owner,
    so he lets me sing every so often.
[05:33] ---
    Blues, chanson, pops,
    I'll sing anything that's requested.
[05:37] ---
    I mean, I don't have a band of my own.
[05:40] ---
    Why not?
    You should be in great demand.
[05:43] ---
    It's more fun to try everything instead of
    being tied up to one particular thing.
[05:47] ---
    That's so awesome.
[05:50] ---
    Sounds great. Maybe I should
    pick up playing guitar again.
[05:54] ---
    Jun, you played bass, didn't you?
[05:56] ---
    Yeah. It's fun to play bass.
[05:59] ---
    Homare has a piano, too.
[06:02] ---
    Though I haven't been playing lately.
[06:04] ---
    But I think I might want to play again.
[06:08] ---
    What about you, Izumin?
[06:09] ---
    Oh, um, I don't have anything.
[06:15] ---
    I see. So all of you are musicians, too.
[06:19] ---
    Just a little bit in the past.
[06:21] ---
    But maybe I'll seriously try it out
    now that I have time on my hands.
[06:25] ---
    Is that so?
[06:26] ---
    Actually, we were just fired
    from our talent agency.
[06:29] ---
    Agency?
[06:30] ---
    We used to be idols.
[06:33] ---
    Argh! Now that I remembered it,
    I'm getting pissed again.
[06:36] ---
    And why were you fired?
[06:38] ---
    Because...
[06:40] ---
    I couldn't go through with a bungee jump.
[06:43] ---
    Bungee?
[06:45] ---
    One of the higher-ups for the show got mad
    when he saw Izumin frozen on top of the bridge.
[06:50] ---
    I can't do it, either. It's not your fault.
[06:53] ---
    Right. It's not Izumi's fault.
[06:56] ---
    It wasn't just about this particular case.
[06:58] ---
    The agency had been talking about it
    for a while now.
[07:01] ---
    The sales aren't that great. Our concerts
    have empty seats all over the place.
[07:05] ---
    The amount of work had drastically
    gone down the past six months, too.
[07:08] ---
    And that work was mostly variety shows
    instead of music, too.
[07:15] ---
    Idols have a lot of things going on, huh?
[07:23] ---
    Okay, hold on a sec.
[07:28] ---
    What's wrong, Homaren?
[07:30] ---
    Can I get some advice?
[07:39] ---
    Good morning, Izumi.
[07:41] ---
    Morning.
[07:42] ---
    Crap. We’re gonna be late!
[07:46] ---
    Oh, that's right, Homaren.
    Don't forget about today's mission.
[07:50] ---
    Yeah, of course.
[07:52] ---
    Then we’re off.
[07:54] ---
    See you.
[07:56] ---
    Take care.
[07:57] ---
    Be careful.
[07:59] ---
    All right, I have a lecture first period,
    so I should head out soon.
[08:02] ---
    Oh, I'll clean up for you.
[08:05] ---
    Really?
[08:06] ---
    Yeah. I have nothing to do.
[08:12] ---
    Thanks.
[08:13] ---
    Then I'm on my way.
[08:15] ---
    Take care.
[08:52] ---
    Thank you very much.
[08:58] ---
    SUN SUN HOUSING
[09:10] ---
    Oh, this is a pretty classy house.
[09:13] ---
    This is my grandmother's house,
    but nobody lives here right now.
[09:20] ---
    You know...
[09:23] ---
    I hope to work well with everyone.
[09:36] ---
    Yes, Kashii residence.
[09:38] ---
    Oh, it's me, Izumi.
[09:40] ---
    - Brother? It’s been so long!
    - What? Brother?
[09:44] ---
    It's been a while.
    Have you two been well?
[09:46] ---
    Yes!
[09:47] ---
    I'm glad. Is Mom around?
[09:49] ---
    She went shopping.
[09:51] ---
    I see.
[09:52] ---
    Hey, Brother, when's the next time
    you'll be on TV?
[09:57] ---
    Grandma was watching TV the other day
    and said, "Izumi is really trying hard."
[10:03] ---
    She's looking forward
    to seeing you on screen again.
[10:07] ---
    Brother?
[10:10] ---
    Hey, Hana, Saki.
[10:12] ---
    If I were to come home,
    would that make you happy?
[10:15] ---
    Huh? Are you coming home?
[10:17] ---
    Oh, no, I don't know for sure yet.
[10:20] ---
    I'd be happy,
    but you're busy with work, right?
[10:23] ---
    So you don't have to force yourself
    to come back. We'll be fine.
[10:27] ---
    Oh.
[10:29] ---
    I see.
[10:31] ---
    I'll call again.
[10:46] ---
    I'm jealous.
[10:50] ---
    I'm back.
[10:55] ---
    Wait, what?
[11:22] ---
    Yeah, sounds good.
[11:24] ---
    But this is amazing.
[11:26] ---
    I didn't think you had a room
    like this inside the house.
[11:28] ---
    Homare's grandma was a piano teacher.
[11:32] ---
    I used to practice here often
    back in the day.
[11:35] ---
    I see.
[11:37] ---
    So, be honest. What'd you think of us?
[11:41] ---
    It's pretty good. But you're ultimately
    lacking a bit in the rhythm section.
[11:45] ---
    Right. We thought the same thing,
    and have been trying to lure Izumi.
[11:51] ---
    What are you doing?
[11:53] ---
    Oh, about this—
[11:54] ---
    Hey, what great timing!
[12:01] ---
    So, can you try drumming this?
[12:03] ---
    Huh? No way, no way, no way.
    I've never done anything like that before.
[12:06] ---
    It's fine, it's okay.
[12:14] ---
    Izumi, why don't we try just once?
[12:16] ---
    I beg ya, Izumin.
[12:18] ---
    Please.
[12:21] ---
    S-Sure.
[12:35] ---
    Okay, keep going.
[13:27] ---
    What the heck? That was super fun!
[13:30] ---
    Didn't it really feel great for a bit there?
[13:33] ---
    Yeah.
[13:34] ---
    Hey, Izumi.
[13:37] ---
    Why don't we try being a band?
[13:41] ---
    If we're a band,
    we can create our own songs.
[13:45] ---
    Nobody will tell us that we can't.
[13:47] ---
    I felt when I saw
    Gakkun's live performance...
[13:50] ---
    I didn't want to look up at the stage.
[13:52] ---
    I want to be standing on that stage.
[13:55] ---
    I didn't think about a band at all, either.
[13:59] ---
    But I felt like doing something
    one more time with this group setup.
[14:04] ---
    Me? A band? With no experience?
[14:07] ---
    Actually, we wanted to prove
[14:10] ---
    that we can actually do this by showing you
    our performance before inviting you.
[14:16] ---
    I know that you were striving
    to be an idol and nothing else.
[14:21] ---
    So, how about it?
[14:24] ---
    Um...
[14:30] ---
    Let me think about it for a bit.
[14:53] ---
    Found you, Izumi.
[14:55] ---
    Gakuto?
[14:57] ---
    Homare told me
    I should eat before I take off.
[15:00] ---
    The food’s almost done,
    so I came here looking for you.
[15:03] ---
    I see. I'll be right over.
[15:10] ---
    You can't see the stars at all.
[15:14] ---
    Hey, Gakuto. Why do you perform music?
[15:17] ---
    Singing is when my heart races the most.
[15:22] ---
    Once you get a taste of how good it feels
    on stage, you just can't stop.
[15:26] ---
    And someday, I'm going to make
    the entire world listen to my songs.
[15:36] ---
    Gakuto, you're amazing.
[15:40] ---
    You're young, but you use your own strength
    to chase straight after what you want to do.
[15:44] ---
    And you have talent.
[15:46] ---
    It feels like you're paving your own path.
[15:49] ---
    I thought I was trying my best,
    striving to be the person
[15:53] ---
    I wanted to be, and wanting to stand
    where I longed to be.
[15:57] ---
    But at this age,
    I think it's about time to give up.
[16:02] ---
    Does being young or age
    have anything to do with it?
[16:05] ---
    The folks in the band I was singing with
    is a lot older than me,
[16:09] ---
    but they're still chasing after
    what they like.
[16:11] ---
    Street musicians and top artists singing on stage...
    They're all the same.
[16:17] ---
    They all love music.
    So form doesn't matter at all, right?
[16:25] ---
    I see. I...
[16:32] ---
    I wanted to be like that,
    and practiced so desperately.
[16:37] ---
    But no matter how much effort
    I put into it, things didn't go well.
[16:41] ---
    Stuff like this
    isn't what I really want to do.
[16:45] ---
    I'm sure I felt that
    somewhere in my heart.
[16:48] ---
    Even back then, perhaps...
[16:53] ---
    Oh, there's one.
[16:57] ---
    It's more fun to try everything instead of
    being tied up to one particular thing.
[17:03] ---
    I’d been thinking
    I can't stay like this forever.
[17:06] ---
    I was scared
    of taking a step forward, too.
[17:08] ---
    But is the time to change... now?
[17:14] ---
    Izumi isn't coming.
[17:16] ---
    Right.
[17:24] ---
    Let's become a band.
[17:27] ---
    Man, that’s great. I'm glad.
[17:30] ---
    This settles everything well.
[17:33] ---
    Homare on keyboard, Jun on bass,
    Kanata on guitar.
[17:38] ---
    And Izumin on drums.
[17:40] ---
    So the vocalist is Gakuto?
[17:43] ---
    Huh? Me?
[17:44] ---
    Hey Gakkun,
    you wanna be in a band with us?
[17:47] ---
    Huh? But you guys used to be idols,
    so you can sing.
[17:52] ---
    Ahem.
[17:54] ---
    Gakuto.
[17:55] ---
    Huh? What?
[17:56] ---
    Gakuto, you left your family
    to come to Tokyo
[17:59] ---
    at such a young age
    to be active in the music industry.
[18:02] ---
    And you're currently staying
    at a relative's house, right?
[18:05] ---
    That's right.
[18:06] ---
    But normal meals aren't enough
    for your huge stomach,
[18:12] ---
    so you're counting on the meals
    provided at the club.
[18:15] ---
    That's true.
[18:17] ---
    And so, if you live here as a band member,
    you will get three meals a day.
[18:24] ---
    You can be one of the special ones
    to touch Harry, too.
[18:29] ---
    And right now,
    all meals will have large helpings.
[18:31] ---
    Large helpings?
[18:32] ---
    And as a special service,
    we'll add all-you-can-eat snacks.
[18:37] ---
    I'll do it. I'll definitely do it!
[18:40] ---
    I'll ask your parents on your behalf.
[18:43] ---
    All right. That settles it.
[18:45] ---
    Oh, then let's decide on the band's name.
[18:47] ---
    Right. Let's come up
    with a really cool name.
[18:50] ---
    What would be cool?
[18:50] ---
    Let's do our best, back from square one.
[18:52] ---
    How about we shift
    from Popping Zoo to Popcorn?
[18:54] ---
    Yeah.
[18:55] ---
    "Popcorn" sounds tasty.
[19:41] ---
    SUBJECT
    WHAT ARE JAXX/JAXX STRENGTHS?
[19:45] ---
    GREAT INDIVIDUALITY
    FORMER IDOLS
    EXCITABLE
    CAN DANCE?!
    DIE HARD SPIRIT
    OUR SONGS!
[20:10] ---
    CONGRATULATIONS JAXX/JAXX
    ON YOUR FIRST SOLO CONCERT!
[20:38] ---
    Idols?
[20:39] ---
    Right. We're going to be creating
    a new agency.
[20:44] ---
    I know it's sudden, but how about it?
[20:46] ---
    Do you want to try
    being an idol again at our agency?
[20:50] ---
    I really appreciate the thought.
    But...
[20:53] ---
    Sounds good.
    An idol? That sounds fun.
[20:56] ---
    I mean, I want to deliver our songs
    to many, many more people.
[21:01] ---
    Besides, I’ve always wanted
    to try jumping once...
[21:06] ---
    Bungee jumping.
[21:13] ---
    Encore! Encore!
[21:17] ---
    Encore! Encore!
[21:21] ---
    Encore!
[21:25] ---
    Everyone. Are you ready?
[21:29] ---
    Yeah.
[21:32] ---
    I'm here right now
    because of you, Gakuto.
[21:35] ---
    I'm here right now
    because of everyone here.
[21:39] ---
    Let's deliver
    our best performance ever.
[21:54] ---
    Encore! Encore!
[21:58] ---
    Encore!
[22:13] ---
    Wow! We Are Storm's Eye
[22:17] ---
    Wow! Our Stardom
[22:27] ---
    A hot wind is blowing slightly now
[22:30] ---
    It's not strong enough to fly
[22:34] ---
    But we need to change,
    we need to take on the challenge
[22:37] ---
    It's now, it must be now
[22:40] ---
    No Fear, No Life
[22:42] ---
    Everybody's gifted
    Alone, it's a gentle breeze
[22:46] ---
    Crashing into each other
    gives the power to create
[22:47] ---
    Like A Chimera
[22:49] ---
    Look at my beloved typhoon
[22:58] ---
    Let's make the world hear our heartbeat
[23:06] ---
    Unpredictable
[23:08] ---
    Tonight is the eye of the typhoon
[23:12] ---
    No time to cry (Hey!)
[23:16] ---
    I'm gonna pull you into this.
[23:20] ---
    Stretch out your arms
[23:22] ---
    We'll grab you, so jump!
[23:27] ---
    Wow! We Are Storm's Eye
[23:31] ---
    Wow! Our Stardom
[23:34] ---
    Wow! Roar to that star, this song!
