[00:48] [SONG] ---
    Whoa oh

[00:55] [SONG] ---
    Catch up with and overtake
[00:58] [SONG] ---
    Get a brand new world
[01:00] [SONG] ---
    I put my foot down and push off,
    but the pedal feels so
[01:03] [SONG] ---
    heavy and so hard to start, yeah
[01:06] [SONG] ---
    But once I get going you'll see
[01:08] [SONG] ---
    I'm not moving slow
[01:10] [SONG] ---
    I'm right with you, let's go
[01:13] [SONG] ---
    Race all the way up the hill, see the view
[01:16] [SONG] ---
    I know you feel the awe
[01:18] [SONG] ---
    'cause everywhere we go
[01:20] [SONG] ---
    shines bright for me and you
[01:24] [SONG] ---
    Fly high, far as we can go
[01:28] [SONG] ---
    Climb up, try and reach that mountain peak
[01:30] [SONG] ---
    then next the sky, and up to space
[01:33] [SONG] ---
    No delay
[01:35] [SONG] ---
    Fly away!
[01:36] [SONG] ---
    With wind at our backs, faster than a highway

SIGN    Joyous • Part One
[02:08] Takaaki
    All right, is everyone here?
[02:11] everyone
    Yes!
[02:11] everyone
    - All here!
[02:12] someone
    Ready to go.
[02:14] Takaaki
    Then let's get to it.
[02:15] Takaaki
    This is VAZZY and...
[02:16] Shou
    ROCK DOWN's special roundtable, starting now!
[02:19] Takaaki
    Good evening. I'm the leader
    of VAZZY, Takaaki Mamiya,
[02:23] Takaaki
    and tonight, we'd like to introduce
    you to each of us twelve
[02:27] Takaaki
    enchantingly handsome guys.
[02:30] Shou
    I'm the leader of ROCK DOWN, Shou Onoda,
[02:32] Shou
    and it's my pleasure to play
    emcee tonight alongside Takaaki.
[02:36] Shou
    Let's have a wonderful time!
[02:38] Takaaki
    Well then, let's start
    with introductions from VAZZY.
[02:41] Ouka
    I'm Ouka Kira of VAZZY.
    Thanks for watching.
[02:45] Issa
    Issa Kiduku. A pleasure.
[02:47] Futaba
    And I'm his younger brother, Futaba.
    Good evening.
[02:50] Futaba
    We're thrilled to be here tonight!
[02:53] Naosuke
    Okay! I'm Nao! Naosuke Oyama.
[02:56] Naosuke
    The crown jewel of VAZZY!
[02:58] Issa
    Huh?
[02:58] Naosuke
    Er, I try to be! Thanks for watching.
[03:01] Naosuke
    You're up, Yuma.
[03:03] Yuma
    I'm Yuma Shirase from VAZZY.
[03:05] Yuma
    Whether you're new or you already know us,
[03:08] Yuma
    we hope this program
    will show you more about us.
[03:12] Shou
    Let's hear from the ROCK DOWN guys next.
[03:15] Haruto
    All right.
[03:15] Haruto
    I'm ROCK DOWN's youngest shining star
    and number two samurai, Haruto Kujikawa.
[03:20] Haruto
    I'm here to add some hot
    spice to your quiet life.
[03:24] Haruto
    Very pleased to meet you.
[03:26] Reiji
    Man, you dug yourself into
    a hole with that one.
[03:28] Reiji
    Don't worry, folks. Some of us guys
    are a lot easier to understand.
[03:33] Reiji
    I'm with ROCK DOWN too.
    The name's Reiji Amaha.
[03:35] Ayumu
    You're a hard enough act to follow yourself.
[03:38] Ayumu
    I'm Ayumu Tachibana, ROCK DOWN's
    number one samurai, I guess?
[03:42] Ayumu
    Thank you for watching.
[03:44] Gaku
    Ayumu, I can't believe you
    actually went along with that.
[03:46] Gaku
    I'm Gaku Oguro of ROCK DOWN.
[03:48] Gaku
    Hi, everyone! Let's have a great time!
[03:50] Ruka
    Yo! And I'm Ruka Nadumi from ROCK DOWN!
[03:53] Ruka
    Ruka-sama in the house! Glad to be here!
[03:55] Takaaki
    That's the twelve of us
    from VAZZY and ROCK DOWN.
[03:58] Takaaki
    Together, we're VAZZROCK!
[04:00] Takaaki
    Glad to be here!
[04:01] Shou
    Let's move on to our next segment.
    First up is...
[04:06] Naosuke
    Which should I pick?
SIGN    Naosuke Oyama
[04:08] Naosuke
    Aah! There's so many, I can't decide!
[04:11] Yuma
    They said to pick two ultra-rare pictures,
[04:12] Yuma
    one for the segment
    and one for the credit roll, right?
[04:16] Yuma
    This is hard.
[04:17] Futaba
    They also said the pictures are
     supposed to be a total surprise,
[04:21] Futaba
    and that we can't spoil each other.
[04:25] Futaba
    It's kind of exciting!
[04:26] Issa
    Hmm, okay. So something meme-worthy.
[04:29] Futaba
    Hey, bro, don't pick anything weird, okay?
[04:31] Ouka
    This one...
    No, maybe this one's a better shot?
[04:36] Issa
    You can't be serious.
[04:37] Ouka
    About what?
[04:38] Issa
    I mean, whatever. Suit yourself.
[04:40] Futaba
    Okay, I've found mine.
    You find yours yet?
[04:44] Issa
    Just pick for me.
[04:44] Futaba
    Yeah? How about the sexy
    straight-out-of-bed look?
[04:48] Issa
    What?! You took that without my permission!
[04:50] Issa
    Fine. I'll pick for myself.
[04:51] Takaaki
    Guys, have you sent your
    pictures to the staff yet?
[04:55] Naosuke
    Hmm... Okay, then this one and this one.
[04:58] Naosuke
    That does it!
[05:00] Naosuke
    How about you, Takaaki-san?
[05:01] Takaaki
    I think I'll...
[05:03] AD
    We're ready for you on set!
SIGN    Ruka-sama
[05:10] Takaaki
    Whoa! A twofer of the Kiduku brothers.
[05:13] Futaba
    Yeah. That was taken right after we
    met everyone, way back at the start.
[05:18] Futaba
    Pictures of just me and my brother
     are surprisingly rare.
[05:23] Naosuke
    Ours is from around then too.
[05:26] Yuma
    Sure takes me back.
    That was right after our debut.
[05:30] Shou
    You both have great smiles.
[05:32] Reiji
    Oh boy, now we've got the frowny twins.
[05:36] Reiji
    That one's ancient too, right?
[05:37] Ouka
    Yeah, it's probably from right after we met.
[05:41] Issa
    It was a photo shoot for something...
[05:43] Issa
    but I didn't pick this one.
[05:45] Yuma
    That was me!
[05:46] Yuma
    You aren't smiling, but I
    thought you both looked cool.
[05:50] Takaaki
    It's just like Yuma to pick
    someone else's picture.
[05:53] Gaku
    These bring back so many memories!
[05:56] Gaku
    They're all from when we formed our groups.
[05:58] Reiji
    So about five years ago?
[05:59] Reiji
    I remember the company president
    calling us out of the blue.
[06:02] Takaaki
    Saying, "Want to go on an adventure for a year?"
[06:05] Reiji
    Exactly.
[06:06] Ouka
    And somehow we've made it this far.
[06:08] Ouka
    We're already at our fourth anniversary.
[06:11] Ouka
    That's a long time.
[06:13] Ayumu
    Definitely.
[06:14] Ayumu
    We all have such different personalities,
    but we've gotten along all the while.
[06:18] Ayumu
    It's pretty impressive.
[06:20] Naosuke
    Oh, hey, this is also the fourth anniversary
     of me and Yuma's debuts.
[06:24] Yuma
    That's right. VAZZY was our start
    in the entertainment world.
[06:27] Yuma
    You too, right, Futaba-san?
[06:28] Futaba
    Yup, same here.
[06:30] Futaba
    But Issa was already modeling,
    playing in bands, and doing other stuff.
[06:34] Issa
    The band wasn't my real debut, though.
[06:37] Issa
    Compared to guys like Takaaki,
    I've got basically no history in the industry.
[06:40] Reiji
    Yeah, Takaaki and Ouka started
     solo ages ago. Just like me.
[06:45] Reiji
    How long have you guys been in the biz now?
[06:47] Takaaki
    Let's see... I started when I was six, so 23 years?
[06:52] Takaaki
    More than half my life.
[06:54] Ouka
    For me, it's more like my whole life.
[06:57] Ayumu
    Your whole life, huh?
[06:59] Futaba
    You were a baby model, right?
[07:01] Ouka
    Yeah.
[07:02] Ruka
    Whoa! You really have been in it for life!
[07:05] Naosuke
    You're like our super-senpai!
[07:07] Futaba
    Ah, this one's from our concert in '18.
[07:10] Shou
    Wow, you can tell?
[07:11] Shou
    When did you even take this, Haruto?
[07:14] Haruto
    During rehearsals.
[07:15] Haruto
    You looked so happy, I had to.
[07:17] Yuma
    It's cool that you could tell
    Haruto-san took the photo.
[07:22] Ayumu
    I was so nervous back then,
    I probably looked like a mess.
[07:25] Ayumu
    I'm glad no one photoed me then.
[07:27] Takaaki
    Oh, wow! These are from the
    legendary four-day VAZZROCK Festival,
[07:30] Takaaki
    right after Yuma made a surprise
    appearance during the last show.
[07:33] Takaaki
    What a memorable shot.
[07:35] Naosuke
    You got that right! It was so fun!
[07:38] Yuma
    It was close, but I'm glad I made it in time.
[07:41] Ouka
    Each day had different performers,
    but you were all together at the end.
[07:47] Haruto
    We were snapping pictures
     like crazy every day backstage.
[07:51] Haruto
    We got to perform with different people,
    so there were some rare ops indeed.
[07:55] Haruto
    I'm glad we have these mementos.
[07:56] Reiji
    Hey, that's a nice shot. Who took this one?
[07:59] Takaaki
    That would be me!
[08:00] Gaku
    Everyone looks so happy.
[08:02] Futaba
    Except my brother, making a face again.
    You should try smiling sometime.
[08:07] Issa
    Oh, shut up. Ouka wasn't smiling either.
[08:09] Ouka
    Stop comparing me to you. And I was smiling.
[08:13] Ruka
    What? You were?
[08:14] Gaku
    If you look close, the corners of his mouth
    are raised a couple millimeters... I guess?
[08:20] Yuma
    He's right next to Takaaki-san's giant grin.
    Maybe that's why it's hard to tell.
[08:24] Yuma
    Just goes to show what a
    charming smile Takaaki-san has.
[08:28] Naosuke
    Yeah, I totally feel that!
[08:30] Naosuke
    It's so warm and big,
     and it's always there when you need it.
[08:35] Naosuke
    Kind of like the sun!
[08:36] Yuma
    I know, right?
[08:37] Yuma
    He brightens us all up with his smile.
[08:40] Yuma
    It's always so comforting.
[08:41] Takaaki
    Seriously? Wow, I'm flattered!
    You've made my day.
[08:45] Takaaki
    Hi, I'm Takaaki Mamiya,
    and I have a charming smile.
[08:48] Issa
    We get it already.
[08:49] Shou
    If Takaaki is the sun,
     then Ouka must be the moon.
[08:52] Ouka
    I'm the moon?
[08:54] Ayumu
    I think I can see that.
[08:55] Ayumu
    You shine brightly, but quietly.
[08:58] Ayumu
    Just like the moon.
[08:59] Ruka
    Ouka-kun is so cool.
[09:01] Ruka
    I don't think I've ever
    seen him bust out laughing.
[09:04] Ouka
    That's because...
[09:05] Takaaki
    That's just his personality.
[09:08] Takaaki
    But he's started to learn
    more expressions recently.
[09:11] Ouka
    Don't talk like I'm some infant!
    Next picture!
[09:14] Naosuke
    Why is there a cat picture in here?!
[09:15] Ouka
    Vazz and Rock are important
    members too, you know.
[09:18] Issa
    But it's just the cats.
    Why aren't you in the picture?
[09:22] Ouka
    Look closer. I'm right here.
[09:24] Issa
    It's just your hand!
[09:26] Futaba
    Y-You should've shown your face too.
[09:28] Takaaki
    Okay, so that was your intro
    to VAZZROCK in pictures.
[09:34] Takaaki
    Now, we all have other activities
    outside of our groups too.
[09:38] Takaaki
    Why don't we talk about what
    we've been up to recently?
[09:42] Naosuke
    Yeah! To get ready for the VAZZROCK
    Live Flawless concert in two months,
[09:46] Naosuke
    I've been taking dance and singing lessons!
[09:49] Futaba
    I did a live recording session
    for VAZZ Radio the other day.
[09:53] Futaba
    Hopefully I'll start getting invited
    to different shows as a regular guest.
[09:57] Reiji
    Weren't those both jobs
    with your group, though?
[10:00] Naosuke
    Oh, he's right.
[10:01] Futaba
    I guess so.
[10:02] Takaaki
    I meant in addition to your regular jobs.
[10:06] Takaaki
    How about everyone else?
[10:08] Issa
    I'm in a TV drama. I can't say much yet,
    but there should be an announcement soon.
[10:12] Ruka
    I'm doing theater, of course!
[10:14] Ruka
    My agency is collaborating on
    a spin-off of "Tsukihana Kagura."
[10:16] Ruka
    Gaku-kun and I are costarring.
     I know you'll all love it!
[10:20] Shou
    I can't wait to see those
    gorgeous costumes again.
[10:23] Haruto
    The fabrics sure look great.
[10:25] Haruto
    I'd love to try on a cut... while trying
    not to get cut. In a sword fight.
[10:28] Reiji
    Spoken like a true...
    Okay, not quite a true samurai.
[10:31] Reiji
    Oh, right. Takaaki, aren't you
    doing another historical drama?
[10:35] Takaaki
    Yeah. Ouka, Yuma, and I are going
[10:37] Takaaki
    to be in a TV spin-off of Sokai,
     the movie we did together.
[10:42] Ayumu
    Wow, that's great.
SIGN    Sokai
[10:46] Mikazuki (as Shoin)
    Never has there been one possessed of
    complete sincerity who did not move others!
SIGN    Yuzuru Mikaduki as
    Shoin Yoshida
[10:50] Mikazuki (as Shoin)
    Will you help build the future
    of this country with me?
SIGN    Yusho Toi as
    Shinsaku Takasugi
[10:53] Toi (as Takasugi)
    I swore to Shoin-sensei that I
    would transform this nation!
SIGN    Takaaki Mamiya as
    Genzui Kusaka
[10:58] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    When I was just a poor physician,
    Shoin-sensei showed me the way!
[11:03] Yuma (as Ito)
    Now I too have a dream...
[11:05] Yuma (as Ito)
    to save the peasants' way of life.
SIGN    Yuma Shirase as
    Hirobumi Ito
SIGN    Ouka Kira as
    Kuichi Irie
[11:09] Ouka (as Kuichi)
    The students here are quite passionate,
    with their own dreams and ideals.
[11:15] Haruto
    It was a film about the life of Shoin Yoshida.
[11:18] Naosuke
    That's right! Mikaduki-san looked
    so cool playing Shoin Yoshida!
[11:23] Futaba
    What is the spin-off going to be about?
[11:25] Takaaki
    It's a story centered on Genzui Kusaka,
[11:27] Takaaki
    the supporting character I played in Sokai,
[11:29] Takaaki
    and Shinsaku Takasugi,
    who's being played by Toi-san.
[11:33] Takaaki
    It starts when they were kids.
[11:35] Yuma
    So that means you're the star, Takaaki-san?
[11:37] Takaaki
    Strictly speaking,
    I'm costarring with Toi-san.
[11:42] Gaku
    Yusho Toi is a really talented actor.
[11:45] Gaku
    Haven't you acted with him before, Ruka?
[11:47] Ruka
    Just a tiny bit.
[11:49] Shou
    The staff and cast from the movie
    are returning for the show, right?
[11:54] Takaaki
    They are. So that's going
    to be a lot of fun too.
[11:57] Takaaki
    Right, Ouka-chan? Yuma?
[11:58] ---
    Huh? Oh... yeah!
[12:00] Yuma
    It's a lot of pressure,
     but I'll do my best.
[12:02] Ouka
    Quit calling me "Ouka-chan."
[12:04] Ouka
    But, yeah, I guess.
    It should be fun. In a lot of ways.
[12:08] Takaaki
    Yup, Ouka is thrilled too.
[12:10] Yuma
    And on that note...
SIGN    Shuten
SIGN    A TV spin-off of the film Sokai,
    currently in production
[12:12] Yuma
    The TV drama Shuten!
[12:14] Naosuke
    Be sure to watch, everyone!
[12:17] Takatsuki
    About Shuten, shooting will start
    tomorrow as scheduled.
[12:21] Takaaki
    Okay. What time?
[12:22] Takatsuki
    I'll come get you at 6 in the morning.
[12:24] Yuma
    So no sleeping in.
[12:26] Takaaki
    We'd better go to bed early tonight.
[12:28] Takaaki
    Our characters are 18,
    so we need to do some skincare too.
[12:31] Takatsuki
    No need to worry about that.
    You always look quite young, Takaaki-san.
[12:36] Takaaki
    Takatsuki-kun, do I sense a little jealousy?
[12:38] Ouka
    But you ended up costarring with
    your archenemy, of all people.
[12:41] Yuma
    Let's make it work, Ouka-san.
[12:43] Takaaki
    Oh, come on. My archenemy?
[12:45] Ouka
    Yusho Toi. Have you already forgotten?
[12:48] Ouka
    He was picking fights
    with you on the last set too.
[12:50] Takaaki
    He wasn't picking fights.
    That's just the way he communicates.
[12:55] Ouka
    That guy... He only got pissed off
    because you get along with everyone.
[13:01] Ouka
    Honestly, I get that.
[13:03] Ouka
    But bringing that attitude
    to the job is another thing.
[13:06] Ouka
    After a point, it's just too much.
[13:08] Yuma
    B-But you do get him, don't you?
[13:11] Takaaki
    I actually don't hate him.
[13:13] Takaaki
    But lucky for you, Ouka. This is your chance.
[13:17] Ouka
    My chance for what?
[13:18] Takaaki
    You want a rematch with Toi-san, right?
[13:20] Ouka
    Wh— No, not really.
[13:22] Yuma
    That's funny. A second ago, Ouka-san
    looked like he was ready to rumble.
[13:27] Takaaki
    You thought so too, Yuma?
[13:28] Ouka
    Are you seriously okay with this?
[13:31] Ouka
    Do you remember how gloomy you were
    before the Sokai shoot started?
[13:34] Takaaki
    Huh? Was I?
[13:36] Ouka
    You can't fool me.
[13:37] Takaaki
    Sorry. You're right.
[13:38] Takaaki
    It does take some effort and
    energy to deal with Toi-san,
[13:42] Takaaki
    but he's an interesting person at heart.
[13:44] Takaaki
    Even if he takes his roles a
    little too seriously sometimes.
[13:47] Yuma
    I think I know what you mean.
[13:51] Yuma
    But now I'm starting to worry.
[13:53] Takaaki
    It's fine. It's fine.
[13:54] Takaaki
    We're both grown adults.
[13:58] Crew
    Camera test all clear!
[14:00] Takaaki
    Good morning!
[14:01] Male Crew
    - Coming through.
[14:02] Takaaki
    I'm so glad to be working with you again.
     Thank you for the opportunity!
[14:05] Ouka
    Thank you for having us.
[14:06] Yuma
    It's a pleasure.
[14:08] AD
    Good morning! You sure are early.
[14:10] AD
    You're the first cast members here.
[14:12] Takaaki
    I got so excited about
    working with this crew again,
[14:15] Takaaki
    I woke up bright and early.
[14:16] AD
    A charmer too!
[14:18] Takaaki
    I'm serious, though. Right, guys?
[14:20] Yuma
    Yeah. I woke up before
    my alarm even went off.
[14:23] Ouka
    Definitely. I couldn't wait to get here.
[14:25] Takaaki
    See what I mean? It's rare to hear
    Yuma and Ouka talk like that.
[14:31] Mikazuki
    Hey, it's the VAZZY trio.
[14:33] Takaaki
    Oh, Mikaduki-san. Good morning.
[14:36] Takaaki
    We get to watch and learn from you again.
[14:39] Ouka
    It's been a while.
[14:40] Yuma
    Glad to be working with you.
[14:42] Mikazuki
    What are you talking about?
    I'm practically a guest this time.
[14:46] Mikazuki
    I'm basically just here for the fun of it.
[14:48] Mikazuki
    The stars are Mamiya and...
[14:52] Mikazuki
    Well, look who's here.
[14:53] Toi
    Hey, Mamiya.
[14:55] Takaaki
    Toi-san! It's great to be
    working with you again.
[14:58] Takaaki
    Let's make something good together, okay?
[15:00] Toi
    You sure haven't changed.
[15:01] Takaaki
    You mean I'm still good-looking?
[15:04] Takaaki
    Oh, stop! You're making me blush, Toi-san.
[15:07] Toi
    Still an airhead too.
[15:10] Takaaki
    We've got a lot of scenes together this time,
     so let's give them a good show.
[15:14] Toi
    I can't wait to wipe
    that moronic grin off your face.
[15:20] Takaaki
    Use a light touch, okay?
[15:22] AD
    Mamiya-san...
[15:25] Takaaki
    Okay, now that we're all warmed up,
     let's have a good time!
[15:29] AD
    You're a lifesaver.
[15:30] Takaaki
    What are you talking about?
[15:31] AD
    As long as you keep smiling,
    I think it'll be a fun shoot.
[15:35] Takaaki
    Really? Well, I'm glad to hear that.
[15:38] Takaaki
    I guess I'll just keep smiling, then.
[15:42] Toi
    Dude, you're giving me the creeps.
[15:44] Mikazuki
    Yeah? You sure seem like
    you're enjoying yourself.
[15:47] Toi
    The hell are you talking about? No way.
[15:50] Mikazuki
    Is that so? I've got an easy role this time,
[15:54] Mikazuki
    so I'll just stay on the sidelines
    and watch you and Mamiya play nice.
[15:57] Toi
    Suit yourself.
[16:01] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    Takasugi-kun,
[16:02] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    you seem quite eccentric,
    but you're actually a very loyal man.
[16:07] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    I'm a little jealous.
[16:09] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    It's hard being so cut off from everyone.
[16:12] Toi (as Takasugi)
    Kusaka...
[16:13] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    Do you remember when we first met?
[16:17] Toi (as Takasugi)
    Of course I remember.
    I was eight then, and you were seven.
[16:23] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    That's right.
[16:24] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    We've been close rivals ever since we
    started studying at the temple together.
[16:29] Takaaki (as Kusaka)
    That isn't going to change now, is it?
[16:32] Toi (as Takasugi)
    No. I'm sure we'll meet again soon.
[16:37] Director
    Cut. Good take.
[16:39] Toi
    Ugh.
[16:40] Ouka
    Wow, off like a switch...
[16:42] Yuma
    Well, at least he isn't pretending.
[16:44] Takaaki
    Hmm... No, I think that means he
    was satisfied. It's all good.
[16:49] Ouka
    Is it?
[16:50] Takaaki
    Yeah. He's actually pretty easy to read.
[16:53] Ouka
    Easy to read?
[16:54] Takaaki
    Come on, now. You guys are up next.
[16:57] Takaaki
    I'll keep an eye on you, so go on.
[16:58] Yuma
    - Okay! We're going!
[17:00] Ouka
    See you later.

    Are you an applicant as well?

    We are too! Say, my name's Risuke Ito.
[17:11] Yuma (as Ito)
    And this here is Kuichi Irie.
[17:13] Yuma (as Ito)
    We're both applying to enroll too. Right?
[17:15] Ouka (as Irie)
    Ah, no, I'm only requesting an
    audience with Yoshida-sensei.
[17:20] Yuma (as Ito)
    Oh, don't say that. Even the brilliant
    and distinguished Kusaka-sensei has...
[17:25] Toi (as Takasugi)
    Kusaka?
[17:26] Yuma (as Ito)
    Do you know of him?
[17:29] Toi (as Takasugi)
    Irie.
[17:29] Ouka (as Irie)
    Yes?
[17:30] Toi (as Takasugi)
    You know Kusaka too?
[17:33] Ouka (as Irie)
    Huh? Y-Yes, I do.
[17:35] Toi (as Takasugi)
    That so?
[17:36] Toi (as Takasugi)
    Then if you truly want to learn,
    why are you hesitating?
[17:39] Toi (as Takasugi)
    What are you afraid of?
[17:41] Toi (as Takasugi)
    I don't know what's holding you back,
     but throw off your chains!
[17:45] Director
    Cut! Good take, Toi-san. Spot on!
[17:48] Toi
    Hmph!
[17:49] Takaaki
    Good job. You both looked great.
[17:52] Yuma
    Did we really? Thank you!
[17:54] Ouka
    This isn't a joke!
[17:55] Takaaki
    Wait, why are you mad at me?
[17:58] Ouka
    He laughed at us.
[18:00] Takaaki
    Huh? You sure he wasn't chuckling
    because you did so well?
[18:03] Ouka
    No, he wasn't. I hate to say it,
    but we couldn't keep up with his acting.
[18:08] Ouka
    And he saw right through that.
[18:09] Takaaki
    Oh well.
[18:10] Takaaki
    Still, I think Toi-san respects
     your acting a lot more than before.
[18:15] Yuma
    Oh, I did feel that a little.
[18:18] Yuma
    Like he was pushing us to do even better.
[18:20] Takaaki
    That's right.
[18:21] Ouka
    Really?
[18:24] Takaaki
    Don't worry. I'm sure it'll be a great show. So...
[18:27] Takaaki
    Let's take care of the promos.
[18:35] Takaaki
    ...and that's why I think playing Kusaka
[18:37] Takaaki
    gives me a chance to really
    engage with the other actors.
[18:41] Reporter
    Thank you very much.
[18:42] Reporter
    I think we have what we need now,
    but there's just one last thing.
[18:47] Reporter
    The big theme for this issue is smiles.
[18:50] Reporter
    Mind if we talk a bit about that?
[18:52] Takaaki
    Of course! Go right ahead.
[18:54] Takaaki
    I think I'm probably something
    of an expert in that area.
[18:57] Reporter
    Of course you are, Mamiya-san!
[18:58] Reporter
    You ranked third for "best smile."

    Hold on. There's still first and second place,

[19:08] Takaaki
    My smile needs perfecting.
[19:11] Takaaki
    Personally, I think Yuma
    has a memorable smile too.

    Definitely. Shirase-san
    has a very princely smile.

    Do you think so?

    I've never really thought about it
    myself, but I'm flattered to hear that.

    You knew what?
[21:17] Takaaki
    You want to talk about something, Ouka.
[21:20] Ouka
    You can tell?

    Of course I can. I've known
    you long enough for that.
[21:25] Takaaki
    All right, I'm all ears.
[21:27] Ouka
    If you say so.
[21:28] Ouka
    During the interview today,
    you spaced out for a minute.
[21:32] Takaaki
    I did?
[21:34] Ouka
    You did. When she asked
    for a story about smiling.
[21:36] Takaaki
    Ah, so you noticed.
     You've got a good eye, Ouka-chan.
[21:39] Ouka
    Don't dodge the question.
    Did something happen?
[21:42] Takaaki
    Okay, but keep it between us.
    You really want to know?
[21:45] Ouka
    Of course I do.
[21:47] Takaaki
    This was around the time I made my debut.
