**[00:48] [SONG] ---**
Whoa oh
**[00:51] [SONG] ---**
Whoa oh, whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-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
**[01:39] [SONG] ---**
That's when I believe that
this feeling will stay
**[01:42] [SONG] ---**
Soon everyone will know
**[01:45] [SONG] ---**
we're grabbing victory today
**[01:47] [SONG] ---**
Fly away
**[01:48] [SONG] ---**
If wind is against us,
I'll fight it all day to
**[01:51] [SONG] ---**
send you miracles, come what may
**[01:53] [SONG] ---**
And that's because we
**[01:54] [SONG] ---**
never give up, never give up
**[01:56] [SONG] ---**
We're free and the
**[01:57] [SONG] ---**
sun is lighting our way
***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.
***SIGN*** Shokasonjuku
Academy
**[17:03] Yuma (as Ito)**
Are you an applicant as well?
**[17:06] Toi (as Takasugi)**
What if I am?
**[17:07] Yuma (as Ito)**
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."

**[19:04] Takaaki**
Hold on. There's still first and second place,
so I've got a long way to go.
**[19:08] Takaaki**
My smile needs perfecting.
**[19:11] Takaaki**
Personally, I think Yuma
has a memorable smile too.
**[19:15] Reporter**
Definitely. Shirase-san
has a very princely smile.
**[19:18] Yuma**
Do you think so?
**[19:19] Yuma**
I've never really thought about it
myself, but I'm flattered to hear that.
**[19:25] Reporter**
Kira-san? What's wrong?
**[19:27] Ouka**
Honestly, I don't have a lot
of confidence in my smile.
**[19:31] Ouka**
Are you sure you want me?
**[19:32] Reporter**
Sure! You're great a great fit.
You actually made this list.

Like right now?

I see. Thank you very much.
**[20:02] Reporter**
Now, one final thing...
**[20:04] Reporter**
Do you have any stories about when
smiling meant something special to you?
**[20:07] Takaaki**
There must be something...
**[20:09] Reporter**
Oh, it doesn't have to be recent.
**[20:12] Reporter**
How about an anecdote from your

When it comes to smiling,
**[20:26] Takaaki**
I guess what I remember most is how happy
we all look at concerts and events
**[20:30] Takaaki**
when we get to meet our fans.
**[20:38] Naosuke**
Oh, welcome home!
Hope the shoot went well.
**[20:40] Takaaki**
Hey, Naosuke. Thanks for the
warm welcome. We're back.
**[20:43] Ouka**
Finally home. You're sure up late, though.
**[20:46] Yuma**
Hi, Nao. Good to see you. You're still up?
**[20:49] Naosuke**
Yeah. I was waiting for you, Yuma.
I've got something I wanna ask you.
**[20:52] Yuma**
Oh yeah? In that case,
we'll see you guys later.
**[20:55] Takaaki**
All right. Good night. See you tomorrow.
**[20:57] Yuma**
Yeah. Good night.
**[20:59] Naosuke**
Night!
**[21:00] Takaaki**
Well then, I guess we should
call it a night too.
**[21:04] Takaaki**
But before that,
would you care for a snack, Ouka?
**[21:08] Takaaki**
We didn't have much, but dig in.
Oh, I'll make tea too.
**[21:11] Takaaki**
Good work today, by the way.
**[21:13] Ouka**
That interview...
**[21:15] Takaaki**
I knew it.
**[21:16] Ouka**
You knew what?
**[21:17] Takaaki**
You want to talk about something, Ouka.
**[21:20] Ouka**
You can tell?
**[21:21] Takaaki**
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.
**[21:50] Takaaki**
For a while back then, I didn't have
anything to smile about at all.
