SIGN Shimada Mayu
[01:19] Mayu
I wanted to find what
I had once lost here.
[01:36] Matsuda
The new year's just begun,
and I'm already having nightmares?!
[03:17] Airi
I wonder if this
[03:18] Airi
ever falls on anyone's head
from being pulled too much.
[03:23] Mayu
What?
[03:25] Mayu
No way.
[03:30] Matsuda
I dreamed the shrine's bell
[03:31] Matsuda
fell on my head on
my first visit of the year.
[03:33] Matsuda
What's that supposed to mean?
SIGN Good Luck
[03:36] Airi
Good luck.
[03:37] Airi
What'd you get, Mayu?
[03:39] Mayu
Good luck, too.
[03:41] Mayu
But my wish...
[03:43] Airi
Will come true.
[03:44] Mayu
Mine, too.
[03:50] Airi
It looks like it's about to snow
even though it's New Year's.
[03:55] Mayu
"It's always sunny
above the clouds."
[03:57] Airi
Huh? What's that?
[04:00] Mayu
I found it in a collection
of witticisms.
[04:02] Mayu
Even if the sky
is covered in clouds,
[04:05] Mayu
it's not as though the sun is gone.
[04:08] Mayu
It means once the clouds leave,
the sun will come out.
[04:12] Airi
Huh.
[04:13] Airi
Hey, could you say it again?
[04:16] Mayu
Huh?
[04:16] Mayu
"It's always sunny
above the clouds."
[04:19] Mayu
Who are you texting?
[04:20] Airi
Matsuda-san.
[04:22] Airi
I think it'll really resonate with him right now.
[04:26] Airi

[04:40] Mayu
Yeah.
[04:42] Airi
Matsuda-san said he'd be in touch, but...
[04:45] Airi
I wonder what happened.
[05:13] Yoshino
Kaya.
[05:15] Kaya
Yoppi. You came, too?
[05:17] Yoshino
N-No.
[05:18] Yoshino
I had some free time,
so I thought I'd see a movie.
[05:21] Kaya
Huh.
[05:26] Kaya
So austere!
[05:34] Kaya
I really like this song.
[05:38] Yoshino
I was actually kind of curious.
[05:41] Kaya
I thought so.
SIGN Green Leaves Entertainment
[05:49] Kaya
Matsuda-san's not here.
[05:51] Yoshino
It's New Year's Day.
[05:53] Yoshino
Maybe he went home.
[05:54] Kaya
Where does he live?
[05:56] Yoshino
I don't know.
[05:57] Kaya
Right. We don't know
anything about him.
[06:07] Announcer
President Sakamaki is believed
to have fled with the company's funds.
[06:10] Announcer
Miyagi police are searching the premises
regarding charges of embezzlement.
[06:15] Announcer
The proprietor named his eldest son
his guarantor without notice,
[06:20] Announcer
and under the strain of debt,
the family was forced to commit suicide.

What am I supposed to do
about these bills?
[06:38] Matsuda
Damn it, boss...
SIGN Barley
and
Hops
[06:43] Matsuda
I'll think about it tomorrow.
[06:45] Matsuda
I don't want to think
on New Year's Day.
[06:50] Yoshino
During the concert, I was so
concerned with what was in front of me,
[06:53] Yoshino
I didn't have time
to think about the future.
[06:55] Yoshino
I thought it might be
our first and last concert.
[06:59] Yoshino
Now that it's over,
I feel like it's a waste.
[07:03] Yoshino
But keeping up with it seems like
it would be difficult, too...
[07:07] Kaya
Basically, you want
to keep doing it, don't you?
[07:10] Kaya
Didn't you come to talk
to Matsuda-san today?
[07:13] Yoshino
Huh? I didn't...
[07:16] Kaya
The truth is I've been
thinking about it, too.
[07:20] Kaya
It was straightforward of Mayu
[07:22] Kaya
to demand to do it
because she wanted to.
[07:25] Yoshino
Yeah, that...
[07:27] Yoshino
She's faced more challenges than us.
[07:31] Kaya
Well, yeah.
[07:32] Miyu
Huh? Yoppi and Kayatan.
[07:34] Yoshino
Miyu!
[07:35] Miyu
Happy New Year!
[07:36] Miyu
What are you two doing?
[07:38] Yoshino
What are you doing
on New Year's Day?
[07:40] Miyu
I came to ask Matsuda-san
about the future...
[07:44] Miyu
of Wake Up, Girls! of course.
[07:46] Kaya
He's not here.
[07:47] Miyu
What? Aww...
[08:01] Matsuda
Hello?
[08:03] Matsuda
What?
[08:04] Miyu
Doubts?
[08:06] Miyu
I don't have any.
[08:07] Miyu
I finally made it
into an idol group.
[08:11] Miyu
What? Do you still have doubts?
[08:14] Yoshino
I wouldn't call them doubts.
[08:16] Yoshino
The way things ended...
[08:19] Miyu
You mean the president running away?
[08:21] Miyu
Lamenting the past
won't do any good.
[08:25] Kaya
You're right.
[08:27] Yoshino
But the agency might shut down!
[08:30] Miyu
I think that depends on our efforts.
[08:33] Kaya
What?
[08:34] Miyu
I believe talent agencies
are just like stores.
[08:39] Miyu
You know I worked
at a maid café, right?
[08:43] Kaya
I didn't know.
[08:44] Yoshino
Me, neither.
[08:45] Miyu
Anyway, when the store
isn't doing well,
[08:49] Miyu
sometimes all it takes
to get back on our feet
[08:51] Miyu
is for the employees
to work super hard.
[08:55] Yoshino
What does that have to do with this?
[08:57] Miyu
Huh?
[08:58] Miyu
The agency might not have
any money right now,
[09:02] Miyu
but if we work hard,
we can get it back on its feet!
[09:06] Kaya
A maid café isn't the same
as the entertainment industry,
[09:09] Kaya
and it's not that easy.
[09:12] Yoshino
Besides,
[09:12] Yoshino
Matsuda-san doesn't even know
if he wants to keep the agency open.
[09:16] Miyu
I think inspiring
the boss is up to us, too...
[09:21] Kaya
He's not our boss.
[09:23] Both
What?
[09:24] Matsuda
Wh-What?
[09:25] All
Matsuda-san!
[09:25] Miyu
Boss!
[09:26] Matsuda
What crazy timing.
[09:30] Father
Thank you very much.
[09:32] Mayu
Sorry for bothering
you on New Year's Day.
[09:35] Mother
It's all right.
[09:37] Mother
We always work on the
first day of the year.
[09:40] Mayu
I see.
[09:40] Mother
Make yourself at home.
[09:46] Mayu
It's so good.
[09:48] Airi
Really? That's great.
[09:50] Mayu
I'm jealous.
[09:51] Airi
Really? I wish my family
ran a bakery instead.
[09:56] Mayu
You're asking for too much.
[09:58] Airi
You're right.
[10:04] Airi
I really do want to be an idol...
[10:08] Mayu
Do you want to go to the agency?
[10:09] Airi
It's nearby.

Is this you, Minami-chan?
[10:21] Minami
I'm over here.
[10:23] Minami
It's dark, and Matsuda-san—oh,
he's our manager—was flustered,
[10:26] Minami
so it's blurry.
[10:29] Isokawa
You have a manager?
[10:30] Isokawa
You're like a celebrity.
[10:33] Woman
Like a celebrity?
She is a celebrity, Isokawa-san.
[10:38] Isokawa
When are you going to perform next?
[10:40] Minami
I don't know yet.
[10:42] Isokawa
What was that?
[10:45] Minami
I don't know yet.
[10:47] Isokawa
I see.
[10:49] Minami
I'm sure I'll hear something soon.

[11:40] Nanami

[11:41] Matsuda
Thou?
[11:43] Matsuda
In any case, I need everyone
to come to the agency!
[11:45] All
What?!
[11:47] Matsuda
Their name's Sudo-san.
[11:49] Matsuda
They're a famous producer who
started a lot of projects.
[11:53] Matsuda
They saw your Christmas concert.
[11:56] Matsuda
They loved Wake Up, Girls! and said
[11:59] Matsuda
they'd help us manage the group.
[12:02] Matsuda
After hearing about Sudo-san's
background, I was shaking.
[12:06] Miyu
That's amazing.
[12:08] Airi
I think my fortune was right.
[12:10] Minami
This must be a really lucky year
if we're getting work already.
[12:13] Yoshino
What does helping with management
mean, practically speaking?
[12:17] Nanami
Maybe it means getting work for us.
[12:19] Kaya
So, what should we do?
[12:22] Matsuda
Sudo-san will give you the details
[12:24] Matsuda
when they come
to the agency this weekend.
[12:28] Matsuda
They want to speak with
all of you then, too.
[12:31] Matsuda
About your direction going forward.
[12:33] Yoshino
I understand.
[12:35] Nanami
Matsuda-san, how do you feel?
[12:37] Matsuda
Huh?
[12:38] Kaya
If they're helping with management,
[12:40] Kaya
that means you'll be
working together, right?
[12:42] Kaya
Are you going to be okay?
[12:43] Matsuda
Huh? Well, yeah.
[12:48] Matsuda
Until now, I simply
obeyed President Tange.
[12:54] Matsuda
President Tange was
rough and irresponsible
[12:57] Matsuda
and ended up running
away with our money.
[13:00] Matsuda
For some reason,
though, she had major
[13:03] Matsuda
connections and found work for us.
[13:07] Matsuda
Compared to her, I...
[13:09] Matsuda
I don't have connections,
money, or confidence.
[13:12] Matsuda
I'm an all-around loser.
[13:14] Miyu
Are you bragging?
[13:15] Matsuda
But I finally have a chance.
[13:18] Matsuda
I can't afford to turn down
working with Sudo-san.
[13:23] Matsuda
I believe I have to do it.
[13:26] Matsuda
What do you think?
[13:26] Matsuda
Will you work on Wake Up,
Girls! with me again?
[13:32] Kaya
I already intended to.
[13:34] Miyu
All right! I'll do it!
[13:37] Nanami
Well, I'll see how it goes.
[13:40] Yoshino
It depends on the work we get.
[13:42] Airi
You're right.
[13:43] Airi
I'm glad we're working
again, though.
[13:46] Airi
Right, Mayu?
[13:47] Mayu
Yeah.
[13:49] Minami
All that relief made me hungry.
[13:52] Miyu
Do you want to get waffles at Bijou?
[13:54] Minami
Yeah.
[13:55] Matsuda
See you this weekend.
[13:56] Matsuda
I'll text you the time.
[13:58] All
Okay.
[13:59] All
Good work today.
[14:03] Matsuda
I've experienced nothing but bad
luck since the day I was born,
[14:06] Matsuda
but I finally have a chance.
[14:08] Matsuda
I'll do everything
I can for tomorrow!
[14:15] Minami
Matsuda-san's so passionate.
[14:17] Miyu
It's cute.
[14:20] Yoshino
I hope it's not for nothing.
[14:22] Kaya
You're right.
[14:24] Nanami
People unaccustomed to
happiness lose their cool
[14:28] Nanami
when confronted with
great happiness.
[14:30] Airi
Nanamin, you're so mature.
[14:38] Yoshino
Anyway, he doesn't
have a plan, right?
[14:40] Kaya
He can't help it.
[14:42] Kaya
President Tange's the one who
decided to form an idol group.
[14:46] Miyu
Matsuda-san said it himself.
[14:49] Miyu
He was just doing as he was told.
[14:51] Nanami
I can't believe President Tange
ran off with the money, though.
[14:56] Miyu
I heard she was taken in by a man.
[15:00] Kaya
Where did you hear that?
[15:02] Miyu
Oh. A lot of well-informed
people come to my work.
[15:06] Airi
What a crazy information network...
[15:08] Hoshino
Maybe we really do have to
rely on this Sudo person.
[15:11] Nanami
If we don't get along, we can quit.
[15:14] Miyu
You're going to quit?
[15:15] Nanami
Yeah.
[15:16] Minami
But it's good news.
[15:18] Minami
We can work again.
[15:24] Airi
I agree.
[15:26] Mayu
Are you watching that again?
[15:27] Miyu
Hey, is that...
[15:28] Airi
Yeah, the Christmas concert.
[15:36] Miyu
If we ever make it big,
that'll be one valuable video.
[15:40] Nanami
If we make it big.
[15:42] Nanami
If we don't,
you'll wish you could forget.
[15:44] Kaya
Don't say that.
[15:46] Airi
I think it'd be a fun
experience from our youth.
[15:50] Yoshino
Hey, Mayu.
[15:52] Yoshino
Do you ever look at videos
from when you worked with I-1?
[15:55] Airi
Yoppi.
[15:57] Yoshino
Sorry.
[16:00] Mayu
No.
[16:02] Yoshino

[16:07] Miyu
Okay, okay.
[16:09] Miyu
Let's come up with introductions.

[01:51] Sudo
I told you to try them on.
[01:54] Matsuda
Excuse me, Sudo-san...
[01:56] Sudo
What is it, Matsuda-chan?
[01:58] Sudo
Aren't these great?
[01:59] Sudo
Nothing beats white swimsuits.
[02:02] Matsuda
Well...
[02:03] Sudo
Don't they look nice?
[02:05] Sudo
It's standard for idols these days.
[02:08] Yoshino
Standard? Those swimsuits?
[02:10] Sudo
Of course they are.
[02:12] Sudo
You need to put yourself
out there to make it big.
[02:17] Sudo
You showed off your panties
at your end-of-the-year concert.
[02:21] Kaya
That wasn't...
[02:23] Sudo
It was great!
[02:24] Sudo
It was amazing!
[02:25] Sudo
It was passionate!
[02:27] Sudo
Here! Now try these on.
[02:32] Matsuda
You're still not done changing?
[02:34] Airi
U-Um...
[02:36] Yoshino
Not yet.
[02:37] Matsuda
Sudo-san said he wanted
to check before the job.
[02:45] Matsuda
Do you think you could hurry up?
[02:47] Kaya
What job?
[02:48] Matsuda
Sudo-san has found
a stage for you already.
[02:51] Miyu
What?
[02:52] ---
Ow!
[02:53] Miyu
A stage?
SIGN Bath
[02:55] Miyu
Is this the stage?!

[03:12] Matsuda
Um, are they supposed to sing here?
[03:15] Sudo
Of course.
[03:18] Manager
Sudo-san!
[03:20] Manager
I've been waiting for you.
[03:22] Manager
Oh, this must be Worked Up Girl.
[03:24] Yoshino
We're Wake Up, Girls!
[03:26] Manager
Oh, sorry.
[03:28] Sudo
This is the manager
who invited you here today.
[03:31] Sudo
Come on. Say hello.
[03:33] WUG
We're Wake Up, Girls!
[03:34] WUG
Thank you for having us!
[03:39] Manager
This is my first time
seeing idols in person.
[03:42] Sudo
Thank you for having us today.
[03:44] Matsuda
Thank you!
[03:45] Manager
Let's get started, then.
[03:48] Airi
Why are we wearing swimsuits?
[03:50] Yoshino
Probably because they're skimpy.
[03:52] Nanami
No way!
[03:54] Nanami
Why do we have to sing like this?
[03:56] Nanami
I'm so distracted,
I don't think I can sing.
[03:59] Airi
I don't think it's unreasonable
to wear swimsuits at a health spa...
[04:05] Kaya
I'm glad we have work,
but singing here?
[04:09] Minami
I didn't think we'd get
to stand on a stage so soon, though.
[04:14] Airi
You're right, but...
[04:16] Mayu
We accepted the job. Let's do it.
[04:18] Yoshino
What? You're doing what
that Sudo man wants?
[04:21] Mayu
No.
[04:22] Mayu
I don't know what he meant by
"putting ourselves out there,"
[04:29] Mayu
but I think he's right.
[04:32] Kaya
Huh.
[04:34] Airi
You're right.
[04:35] Airi
We just have to do our best.
[04:37] Minami
All right! Let's go!
[04:42] Matsuda
Ow!
[04:59] Manager
Uh...
[05:03] Manager
Thank you for waiting.
[05:04] Manager
Allow me to introduce today's guest.
[05:06] Man A
We've been waiting!
[05:07] Man B
Yeah!
[05:08] Manager
Um, this is Working Girl.
[05:11] Yoshino
We're Wake Up, Girls!
[05:13] Manager
Oh, I got it wrong again.
[05:15] Manager
Sorry.
[05:16] Man C
Hey, working girls!
[05:19] Manager
Um, Wake Up, Girls! is apparently
a Sendai-based idol group.
[05:26] Man D
Who cares?
[05:27] Man
Yeah!
[05:29] Manager
On Christmas last year,
[05:30] Manager
they performed their debut
concert in Kotodai Park.
[05:33] Man D
Nice ass, girls!
[05:36] Manager
Today, they will sing
their debut song for us.
[05:40] Man E
Forget the song!
[05:41] Man E
Give us something extra!
[05:44] Manager
Um, the name of the song is...
[05:46] ---
Uh, um...
[05:51] Yoshino
It's "Stand Up!"
[05:53] Yoshino
We only have one song,
but we'll sing our hearts out.
[05:59] Yoshino
Please listen.
[06:00] Manager
Give them a hand!
[06:03] Man
St-Stand Up?
[06:35] Matsuda
This doesn't feel right...
[06:35] SONG
Believing...
[06:39] WUG
Thank you very much!
[06:43] Man
That was hot!
[06:44] Man
Take the rest off!
[06:45] Man
Man, hot girls are great!
[06:48] Matsuda
Can't you do something about it?
[06:50] Sudo
About what?
[06:51] Matsuda
Well, you know...
[06:55] Matsuda
Their outfits...
[06:56] Sudo
What?
[06:57] Sudo
You think you're in any
position to complain?
[07:00] Sudo
Learn your place.
[07:02] Sudo
You're a bunch of nameless
country idol wannabes.
[07:06] Sudo
Look.
[07:09] Sudo
Even the super popular I-1 Club's
Iwazaki Shiho's doing it.
[07:15] Matsuda
But gravure photo shoots and today's stage aren't...
[07:18] Sudo
They are the same.
[07:18] Matsuda
What?
[07:20] Sudo
They both take resolve.
[07:21] Matsuda
I see.
[07:23] Sudo
Without resolve,
you'll never make it big.
[07:25] Matsuda
Yes, well... but...
[07:28] Sudo
Anyway... They'll never make it
with you as their manager.
[07:32] Matsuda
What?
[07:34] Sudo
A manager's job is
putting his idols onstage.
[07:39] Sudo
Whether or not they'll take that
one opportunity is up to the girls.
[07:44] Sudo
Turning one into five into ten
won't happen for a while.
[07:48] Matsuda
Right...
[07:50] Sudo
You don't even try to put them
on the stage of opportunity.
[07:54] Sudo
In fact, are you trying
to take them off it?
[07:58] Matsuda
No.
[07:59] Sudo
Then quit complaining.
[08:02] Matsuda
Okay.
[08:04] Kaya
He completely lost that argument.
[08:08] Woman
You're quite stiff.
[08:11] Tange
Really? Must be troubles of life.
[08:15] Tange
Just thinking about returning...
[08:19] Woman
Huh?
[08:21] Tange
Nothing.
[08:23] Matsuda
In any case, let's complete
your remaining performances.
[08:26] Nanami
We're the ones who have to put on
[08:29] Nanami
those embarrassing
performances, not you.
[08:32] Matsuda
Yeah, but...
[08:35] Yoshino
I think there's something
fishy about that Sudo man.
[08:39] Kaya
I agree.
[08:41] Miyu
How much are we getting paid?
[08:45] Matsuda
I left that up to Sudo-san.
[08:50] Mayu
Did you sign a contract?
[08:53] Matsuda
A contract...
[08:56] Matsuda
Outfits must be highly
exposing swimsuits...
[09:01] Matsuda
A swimsuit photo shoot?
[09:17] Man B
Take some bolder poses!
[09:21] Man B
Like a panther!
[09:22] Man B
Pose like a panther!
[09:24] Minami
A panther?
[09:26] Minami
Like this? Meow.
[09:31] Man B
Not quite...
[09:32] Man B
But whatever... It's cute!
[09:37] Miyu
This isn't right.
[09:39] Miyu
This isn't what we should
be doing for our fans.
[09:43] Matsuda
Waiting on customers?
[09:49] Mayu
Here you are.
[09:50] Man
One beer.
[09:52] Man
I'd like some beer, too.
[09:53] Man
Why don't you sit with us?
[10:01] Drunk
Your tits and ass are huge, girl.
[10:08] Miyu
No.
[10:09] Miyu
This isn't right.
[10:12] Matsuda
Participating in various attractions...
[10:15] Matsuda
Attractions?
[10:16] Manager
They'll be playing games
with the customers.
[10:18] Manager
People love it.
[10:21] Manager
Let's get the games started!
[10:24] Man
Yeah!
[10:25] Man
We've been waiting for this!
[10:27] Manager
Who wants to play the King's Game?
[10:41] Manager
Number 2, you get a kiss from Miyu-chan!
[10:44] Number 2
Yeah!
[10:47] Manager
Please come forward.
[10:49] Number 2
Okay.
[10:50] Number 2
Please excuse me.
[10:52] Men
Kiss, kiss, kiss!
[10:53] Miyu
This can't be right.
[10:55] Airi
Miyu?
[11:00] Number 2
Yeah!
[11:16] Miyu
No!
[11:29] Airi
Miyu!
[11:42] Tange
Is that...
[11:46] Miyu
I'd rather quit than do this!
[11:53] Matsuda
I get it!
[11:55] Matsuda
I'm terribly sorry, but would it
be possible to cancel this job?
[12:01] Manager
What?!
[12:02] Manager
But so many customers
are here to see them...
[12:04] Matsuda
I know, but I don't think
it's good for the girls.
[12:08] Manager
You'll have to return the money.
[12:11] Matsuda
Return?
[12:12] Manager
I paid Sudo-san beforehand.
[12:15] Manager
They're great, though.
[12:17] Manager
The Woof and Meow Girls.
[12:19] Yoshino
Are you doing that on purpose?
[12:20] Kaya
I knew it.
[12:23] Miyu
Excuse me.
[12:25] Airi
Miyu.
[12:30] Manager
What about the last performance?
[12:32] Matsuda
What?
[12:34] Kaya
We have to do it, don't we?
[12:36] Airi
I think I could handle one more.
[12:41] Minami
I don't want to do it.
[12:43] Nanami
I'm not performing anymore.
[12:45] Nanami
The people who want to can do it.
[12:48] Kaya
What do you mean,
the people who want to?
[12:49] Nanami
You seemed pretty into it, Kaya.
[12:52] Kaya
How?
[12:53] Yoshino
Stop.
[12:54] Yoshino
It's a job.
[12:56] Yoshino
We can't say we don't want to do it.
[13:00] All
Huh?
[13:04] Matsuda
Hey, wait!
[13:05] Matsuda
What?
[13:07] Tange
Are you stupid?!
[13:08] All
President Tange!
[13:09] Tange
What are you doing, Matsuda?
[13:12] Matsuda
I-I'm sorry!
[13:16] Matsuda
Wait, you!
[13:17] Matsuda
How dare you call me stupid?!
[13:19] Tange
We'll talk about that later!
[13:21] Tange
First, I have to deal
with this trash!
[13:23] Matsuda
I'm not sure you can
call anyone trash...
[13:27] Tange
Sudo-san, was it?
[13:29] Tange
You're that thug producer
I've heard about!
[13:31] Tange
How dare you take advantage
of stupid Matsuda's kindness?!
[13:35] Tange
Listen up!
[13:36] Tange
While I'm alive,
[13:38] Tange
don't even think about
approaching Matsuda or
[13:40] Tange
Wake Up, Girls! again!
[13:42] Tange
If you break that promise
and try to lure them in again...
[13:45] Tange
I'll pay you back double!
[13:46] Tange
I'll give you a watery grave!
[13:49] Tange
Also, I'm sure you haven't spent
much of your earnings yet.
[13:53] Tange
You'll be paying them back
for the canceled show.
[13:56] Tange
Got it?
[13:57] Tange
If you understand, say so!
[13:58] Sudo
I-I understand!

Don't be ridiculous!

I can't believe you ran off
with the agency's money!
[14:18] Matsuda
We couldn't perform
our debut concert,
[14:21] Matsuda
and the agency's future
was in jeopardy!
[14:24] Tange
So you were deceived
by a thug producer.
[14:28] Yoshino
You haven't uttered
a word of apology yet.
[14:33] Tange
What?
[14:33] Kaya
She's right.
[14:35] Airi
Well, um...
[14:36] Airi
We decided to continue
working with Matsuda-san,

and he did his best
to get the job, and...

This is how it turned out,
but you know how Matsuda-san is.
[14:51] Minami
Huh?
[14:52] Airi
Don't worry about it.
[14:54] Matsuda
President, what happened to the money?
[14:56] Tange
My darling needed money,
so I thought I'd make some.
[15:02] Tange
I gambled it, and now it's gone.
[15:03] Tange
Man, I'm beat.
[15:05] Tange
I'm really sorry.
[15:07] Yoshino
What?
[15:08] Yoshino
You're an adult!
Take responsibility for your actions!
[15:11] Tange
I know. I don't need an
angry little girl to tell me.
[15:15] Yoshino
Little girl?
[15:16] Tange
Who do you think I am?
[15:20] Tange
Huh?
[15:21] Tange
One of you is missing.
[15:22] Mayu
What?
[15:24] Tange
I can't believe you lost one already.
[15:28] Tange
I went to the trouble
of gathering seven of you.
[15:31] Tange
Why are you just standing there?
[15:32] Tange
Bring her back!
[15:35] Mayu
Um...
[15:36] Tange
Go on!
[15:40] Minami
I wonder where Miyu went.
[15:44] Nanami
Probably home.
[15:45] Airi
She's not answering her phone.
[15:47] Kaya
Maybe...
[15:50] Yoshino
Could she be there?

You know I work

[15:56] Yoshino
I'll check it out.

I'll go with you.

If only I could stand on a larger

[17:12] Miyu
But I realized something
after yesterday's performance.
[17:16] Miyu
I was naïve.
[17:19] Airi
About what?
[17:20] Miyu
Ultimately, what I enjoyed was being
[17:23] Miyu
coddled by the fans
of this familiar store.
[17:28] Miyu
Besides, they would never
[17:30] Miyu
force me to do anything
I didn't want to do.

Becoming an idol means interacting
[17:41] Miyu
with complete strangers and
overcoming the unimaginable.
[17:45] Miyu
It feels like a blow to the head.

It's time for my show.

Listen up, girls.
[02:01] Tange
You're going to be doing a three-minute corner on a variety program.
[02:05] Tange
You'll split into two groups.
[02:06] Tange
The gourmet report will be
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

What exactly is a "scalding"

I can't believe you're asking that.

Scalding Water
[02:29] Tange
In the beginning,
idols just needed to be cute.
[02:32] Tange
That only lasted until the mid '70s.
[02:35] Tange
Since then, in order to survive,
idols have taken pies in the face,
[02:40] Tange
worn bald wigs, and thrown
themselves into scalding water.

So, what?
[02:47] Tange
Have you even been listening?!
[02:50] Tange
In other words, only those
who undergo these trials

will become true idols.

[17:10] Airi
Maybe something happened.
[17:12] Mayu
Yeah.
[17:13] Nanami
She answered her phone.
[17:14] Nanami
Minami? Where are you?
[17:16] Tange
Are you girls ready?
[17:19] Tange
What? What's wrong?
[17:21] Matsuda
It's Minami.
[17:22] Nanami
What?
[17:24] Minami
Grandma Isokawa is in the hospital...
[17:27] Nanami
Hold on.
[17:29] Nanami
I'm giving the phone
to the president.
[17:30] Nanami
It's Minami.
[17:32] Tange
Hello? What's going on?
[17:36] Tange
Yes.
[17:38] Tange
I see.
[17:40] Tange
So, you can't come here?
[17:43] Nanami
Minami's friend is hospitalized.
[17:45] Nanami
She can't come.
[17:47] Mayu
What?
[17:47] Miyu
What are we going to do?
[17:49] Nanami
Don't ask me. I don't know.
[17:56] Tange
We'll perform without Minami.
[17:58] Mayu
Without her?
[17:59] Matsuda
But you said we'd promote
Minami in the concert.
[18:03] Tange
I'll explain the situation
to the TV station.
[18:06] Tange
Someone important
to Minami is in the hospital.
[18:10] Tange
You should understand
the desire to help her.
[18:16] Tange
We'll cover for her.
[18:18] Tange
Figure out the performance
between the six of you.
[18:20] Girls
Okay.
[18:21] Tange
Matsuda, let's go see the producer.
[18:24] Matsuda
Huh?
[18:25] Tange
You can never be too sorry.
[18:27] Matsuda
Okay.
[18:40] Minami
Grandma...
[18:42] Woman
Minami-chan, what are you doing here?
[18:45] Minami
Because... because...
[18:47] Minami
You're in the hospital!
[18:53] Minami
Should you be taking that off?
[18:55] Woman
I'm fine.
[18:55] Woman
I don't need this.
[19:02] Woman
Will you make it
in time for your concert?
[19:04] Minami
I'm not going.
[19:06] Minami
I'm staying here.
[19:07] Woman
You have to go.
[19:10] Minami
But...
[19:11] Woman
No.
[19:12] Woman
If you came here for me,
go to the concert instead.
[19:18] Woman
The best medicine for me
is to see you dancing.
[19:28] Woman
Didn't I tell you?
You're like the sun.
[19:33] Woman
You illuminated us
as we were wilting.
[19:39] Woman
You need to keep being
the sun that illuminates us.
[19:48] Woman
Go on.
[19:50] Woman
I'll be fine.
[19:51] Woman
I've been through a lot.
[19:54] Woman
It'll take more than
this to take me out.
[19:58] Woman
Okay?
[20:05] Miyu
Can we practice our positions
for "Stand Up" again?
[20:10] Nanami
We just did it.
[20:13] Miyu
I'm sorry.
[20:15] Mayu
Let's do it one more time.
[20:22] Man
It's almost time.
[20:25] Yoshino
Okay.
[20:26] Nanami
Don't make that sound.
[20:28] Nanami
You're making me nervous.
[20:32] Airi
Minami.
[20:33] Nanami
Is it okay for you to be here?
[20:35] Minami
Yeah.
[20:37] Minami
Sorry I'm late.
[20:40] Minami
I'm sorry.
[20:42] Tange
It's fine.
[20:43] Tange
Are you sure you
should be here, though?
[20:45] Minami
Yes.
[20:46] Minami
This will make
Grandma Isokawa happier.
[20:50] Tange
I see.
[20:52] Tange
You'd better hurry, then.
[20:52] Tange
There's no time.
[20:54] Minami
Okay.
[20:54] Minami
Oh, Matsuda-san.
[20:56] Matsuda
What is it?
[20:57] Minami
I'd like to change.

What are we supposed to do in that time?

Really? I think it's pretty long.
[05:56] Nanami
But if we divide 60 seconds

She'd been turning us down,
but ultimately, she came to us.
[07:52] Anna
She quit once, and now she's starting again.

There's something cloudy

I didn't mean to keep it a secret.
[14:37] Mayu
I meant to tell you
when I had set things right.
[14:41] Mayu
I want to stand on the
same stage with you, too.
[14:45] Mayu
Good luck with your performance in Sendai.

I'm Green Leaves'
representative, Tange Junko.
[14:59] Tange
This blockhead is
our manager, Matsuda.
[15:02] Matsuda
I'm Matsuda Kohei.
[15:04] Suzuki
I'm Suzuki.
[15:05] Suzuki
Thank you for meeting us today.
[15:08] Yamada
I'm his assistant, Yamada.
[15:10] Yamada
It's nice to meet you.
[15:11] Tange
The pleasure is ours.
[15:13] Matsuda
We've spoken with
representatives of our regular TV
[15:17] Matsuda
and radio programs,
and they've approved an interview.
[15:20] Suzuki
I see.
[15:22] Matsuda
How long will this take?
[15:23] Suzuki
Let's get to it, then.
[15:25] Suzuki
I was hoping to talk to the members.
[15:30] Matsuda
I see.
[15:33] Suzuki
Let's get started.
[15:35] Suzuki
I'd like to ask each member
some simple questions in turn
[15:38] Suzuki
and have them answer.
[15:41] Suzuki
Start rolling whenever.
[15:43] Suzuki
Let's start with your reason for joining.
[15:45] Suzuki
Nanase-san, you're first.
[15:47] Yoshino
Okay.
[15:51] Suzuki
Why did you become an idol?
[15:55] Yoshino
I'm Nanase Yoshino.
[15:56] Yoshino
I'm originally from Sendai,
[15:58] Yoshino
and I've been a child talent star
since I was four years old.
[16:01] Yoshino
At one point, I wanted to be a model,
[16:04] Yoshino
but I decided to pursue
a career as an idol.
[16:07] Suzuki
I see. Thank you.
[16:09] Suzuki
Next, Kikuma Kaya-san.
[16:11] Kaya
Okay.
[16:14] Suzuki
Same question.
[16:18] Kaya
I'm Kikuma Kaya.
[16:19] Kaya
I'd been working a lot of jobs,
[16:22] Kaya
and I found out about
this audition at one of them.
[16:25] Kaya
I wanted some proof of my
accomplishments, so I decided to try out.
[16:30] Suzuki
I see.
[16:31] Suzuki
Next person, please.
[16:37] Suzuki
Um... Shimada Mayu-san.
[16:41] Mayu
Yes.
[16:47] Mayu
I'm Shimada Mayu.
[16:48] Suzuki
You're former I-1 Club member,
Mayushi, aren't you?
[16:53] Mayu
Yes.
[16:54] Suzuki
Sorry to be direct,
[16:56] Suzuki
but the real reason you were
made to quit the I-1 Club
[16:58] Suzuki
was different from what
the media covered, isn't it?
[17:04] Suzuki
The official story is that
you lost a center battle,
[17:08] Suzuki
but according to my research,
[17:10] Suzuki
you were involved in a lot
of internal conflicts.
[17:13] Suzuki
What happened?
[17:16] Suzuki
Come on! You quit.
[17:19] Suzuki
Why don't you tell the truth?
[17:23] Matsuda
Hey!
[17:30] Suzuki
Was the reason this picture
that everyone was talking about?
[17:36] Suzuki
There are rumors of power
struggles within the group
[17:39] Suzuki
and suspiciously large money
transfers, aren't there?
[17:43] Suzuki
What's Shiraki-san like?
[17:45] Suzuki
Did something happen
between you and Shiraki-san?
[17:50] Suzuki
Oh? Am I right?
[17:53] Suzuki
Whoa!
[17:55] Tange
That's enough!
[17:58] Matsuda
Wasn't the purpose of today's
interview to cover Wake Up, Girls!?
[18:03] Matsuda
Shimada Mayu's history
has nothing to do with this.
[18:06] Suzuki
You must be confused.
[18:09] Suzuki
Wake Up, Girls! doesn't exist
without Shimada Mayu, does it?
[18:16] Suzuki
Isn't it better for you

if people make a fuss over
Shimada Mayu on the internet?

Today was rough.

Where's Mayu?
[18:43] Matsuda
The president wanted to talk to her.
[18:45] Airi
But...
[18:47] Matsuda
Let's leave it up to the president today.
[18:49] Matsuda
You've got work tomorrow.
[18:52] All
Okay...
[19:05] Tange
I'm not sure I can say
anything to cheer you up now.
[19:11] Tange
Without having experienced
what you've gone through,
[19:14] Tange
nothing I say is very convincing.
[19:17] Tange
But let me tell you this.
[19:20] Tange
Everyone has emotional scars.
[19:23] Tange
However, you can't leave
those wounds untreated.
[19:28] Tange
I'm sure you know how
to heal those wounds.
[19:33] Tange
Isn't that why you came here?
[19:47] Minami
I wonder if Mayushi's okay.
[19:50] Yoshino
We don't exist without
Shimada Mayu, huh?
[19:53] Yoshino
He was pretty harsh, wasn't he?
[19:55] Nanami
If we don't want people
to think that way,
[19:58] Nanami
we have to improve our skills
to be on par with Mayushi's.
[20:02] Nanami
Anyway...
[20:03] Yoshino
The reason Mayu quit I-1?
[20:05] Nanami
Yeah. I know people were
making quite a fuss,
[20:10] Nanami
but something seems pretty
malicious about it.
[20:13] Nanami
Have you heard anything, Ai-chan?
[20:16] Airi
I try not to ask her about it.
[20:20] Airi
It seems like Mayu
doesn't want me to ask.
[20:23] Miyu
I understand.
[20:24] Kaya
Who cares about the past?
[20:27] Miyu
It doesn't seem to be over yet.
[20:30] Yoshino
What do you mean?
[20:36] Airi
I wonder if Mayushi saw this.
[20:38] Minami
It's so mean.
[20:39] Nanami
She probably ended up seeing this.
[20:43] [Texting] TEXT
Isn't Mayu that piece of trash who
betrayed her fans with a man?
[20:44] Yoshino
Is this true?
[20:47] Miyu
According to the customers
at the maid café, they're mostly lies,
[20:51] Miyu
but there are some
they can't be sure of.
[20:53] Kaya
Does that mean only
Mayu knows the truth?
[20:56] Miyu
Actually, I tried asking
Mayushi directly before,
[21:01] Miyu
but she wouldn't tell me.
[21:04] Airi
She should talk to someone about it,
[21:05] Airi
instead of handling it on her own.
[21:07] Kaya
Maybe she can't do that right now.
[21:10] Yoshino
Are you saying she doesn't trust us?
[21:13] Kaya
That's not what I meant.
[21:14] Minami
Maybe it's not easy for her to say.
[21:16] Yoshino
That just means she's not
ready to talk about it.
[21:20] Miyu
Is this what it's like to live
in the entertainment industry?
SIGN Get out! Comeback idol

Yes.
[01:43] Shiho
I saw some pictures.
[01:45] Shiho
You stood out in them
just like you always do.

Of course, it's only natural since
you were surrounded by amateurs.

At the end of last year,

[04:04] Matsuda
and ran off with all our money.

Shut up already.

In any case, we're putting on a concert.

Spending money on advertising
will help your sales,
[05:37] Tange
but it won't last forever.
[05:39] Tange
After all, it costs money!
[05:42] Matsuda
Is that right?
[05:44] Tange
Nothing's most important
than making an honest living.
[05:48] Tange
Even the I-1 Club was built
by the passion of Shiraki,
[05:52] Tange
who had nothing going for him
except his love of idols.
[05:58] Tange
The I-1 Club started as
[06:00] Tange
a local "no money, no connections,
no name" group from Oshiage.
[06:06] Tange
That was before Oshiage built its Skytree.

I've been in this business

How old are you?
[06:24] Tange
I've been doing this since a past life!
[06:25] Matsuda
I see.
[06:27] Tange
They didn't have any theaters back then.
[06:29] Tange
They held guerrilla concerts in Azumabashi,
[06:31] Tange
but there's no audience there.
[06:33] Tange
I'm saying there aren't
any young people there.
SIGN Yakitori
[06:36] Matsuda
Yeah.
[06:38] Tange
But idols become popular
through word of mouth.
[06:42] Tange
There were rumors of interesting
girls in Azumabashi.
[06:45] Tange
Those rumors spread like wildfire,
giving us the I-1 we have today.
[06:50] Tange
Their honest work moved people's
hearts and gave birth to money.
[06:55] Tange
That's how it works.

You're sounding
strangely reasonable today.
[07:00] Matsuda
It's scaring me.
[07:03] Tange

Mayushi used to be part of that.
[07:27] Suzuki
You must be confused.
[07:30] Suzuki
Wake Up, Girls! doesn't exist
without Shimada Mayu, does it?
[07:35] Yoshino
I won't lose.
[07:36] Nanami
To who? I-1?
[07:37] Nanami
Don't you think that
will take some time?
[07:40] Nanami
I think we just have
to do the best we can.
[07:43] Miyu
You're right.
[07:44] Miyu
Let's first think of how
we can gather as large
[07:46] Miyu
an audience for
our concert as possible.
[07:48] Kaya
Yeah.
[07:48] Kaya
Maybe I'll reach out
to my friends this time.
[07:52] Miyu
That's not good enough.
[07:53] Miyu
You can't approach
this like you're trying
[07:55] Miyu
to fill some small theater.
[07:56] Kaya
What do you mean?

We need to increase our number of fans.
[08:01] Kaya

Give it a try.
[08:29] Yoshino
There it is.
[08:30] Yoshino
That's not right.
[08:31] Airi
What? It's not?
[08:33] Mayu
Isn't it like this?
[08:41] Airi
Like this, Yoppi?
[08:43] Airi
Huh?
[08:45] Airi
What's wrong with Yoppi?
[08:51] Yoshino
Since our new song
is coming together,
[08:54] Yoshino
I thought we could decide what
we're singing at the concert today.
[08:57] Yoshino
First, I think it goes
without saying that we'll use
[08:59] Yoshino
"Stand Up!" and "16-Year-Old Agape."
SIGN "Stand Up!"
SIGN "16-Year-Old Agape"
[09:02] Yoshino
I'm sure you all know,
[09:04] Yoshino
that's not nearly enough.
[09:06] Yoshino
So I want to choose
a few more songs today.
[09:10] Miyu
I know! I know!
[09:11] Miyu
What about anime songs?
[09:13] Miyu
I'm sure our fans will enjoy them.
[09:15] Nanami
Anime songs? Don't you think
that's too commonplace?
[09:18] Nanami
Other groups sing them quite a bit.
[09:20] Nanami
I want to do something unexpected.
[09:22] Nanami
What about "Hikarizuka"?
[09:25] Miyu
Would anyone enjoy that?
[09:28] Minami
I'd prefer folk songs like "Ishinomaki
Chatsumi-uta" or "Ishinomaki Sendou-uta."
[09:33] Yoshino
I don't know about that, either.
[09:35] Minami
I think the members of the
folk song club would enjoy it.
[09:39] Yoshino
What should we do?
SIGN "Stand Up!"
SIGN "16-Year-Old Agape"
[09:41] Yoshino
Maybe anime songs.
[09:43] Miyu
I know! I know!
[09:44] Miyu
In that case, I have something
I've danced to at work.
[09:48] Kaya
This concert isn't just for you.
[09:50] Miyu
What? But it's really cute.
[09:53] Minami
Folk songs are cute, too.
[09:55] Nanami
And *Hikarizuka'*s not
so much cute as cool.
[09:57] Miyu
Anime songs!
[09:59] Minami
Folk songs!
[09:59] Nanami
"Hikarizuka"!
[10:00] Yoshino
H-Hey!
[10:05] Matsuda
Are you sure you don't need to step in?
[10:07] Matsuda
They're getting out of hand.
[10:09] Tange
It's fine.
[10:11] Tange
Now that they can say what they want,
[10:13] Tange
they're taking another step forward.
[10:15] Tange
Let them fight.
[10:16] Matsuda
But we don't have
many days to prepare.
[10:20] Yoshino
If we're doing hit songs,
maybe we should do I-1 Club songs?
[10:29] Yoshino
Sorry.
[10:30] Mayu
It's fine.
[10:31] Mayu
You don't need to apologize.
[10:33] Mayu
But with the I-1 Theater
coming to Sendai,
[10:36] Mayu
I don't think there's any need
for us to sing their songs.
[10:41] Mayu
Don't you think we should
show our own colors?
[10:47] Kaya
Yeah. Mayu's right.
[10:50] Miyu
In that case, anime songs!
[10:51] Nanami
Folk songs!

Yoppi, how was my choreography?
[11:59] Yoshino
It's gotten a lot better.
[12:01] Airi
Really? Great.
[12:05] Minami
I'm hungry.
[12:06] Minami
Can I have a snack?
[12:08] Miyu
I baked some cookies.
[12:13] Mayu
Did you make these yourself?
[12:14] Miyu
Yes.
[12:15] Minami
Thanks for the food!
[12:18] Nanami
But I'll get fat if I have too many.
[12:23] Nanami
I'm jealous of Minami
in more than one way.
[12:29] Nanami
Do you think they'll
take all our customers?
[12:32] Miyu
I don't think we can beat them.
[12:34] Kaya
What good will saying that now do?
[12:37] Airi
By the way, have you seen the members
they're bringing to the Sendai theater?

[14:20] Anna
First, you.
[14:21] Airi
Yes.
[14:22] Anna
You almost ran into
someone and apologized.
[14:26] Airi
Yes.
[14:27] Anna
You need to make sure
your audience doesn't notice that.
[14:30] Anna
In fact, you probably
[14:32] Anna
almost ran into each other
because you held your position.
[14:35] Nanami
Yes.
[14:36] Anna
When that happens, gauge your distance.
[14:39] Anna
It's okay if you step out of line a little,

but make sure you get out of her way.

Yeah. I got that feeling,
but that's not what I meant.

Huh?
[15:01] Karina
I was asking what it means

You should tell each other

[16:17] Yoshino
I knew it would be like this,

but for some reason,
Maimai ate the ramen in silence.

You don't need to keep blaming yourself.
[18:57] Yoshino
I made plenty of mistakes in my emceeing, too.

You're not ready for that.

Oh, come on. What?

You're pathetic.

You'd ruin a celebration

The president told me to come,
and she's not here.
[19:58] Minami
Is she the one who told us to come?
[20:00] Matsuda
That's right.
[20:01] Matsuda
She suddenly said, "Let's go

[20:05] Kaya
Just how mean is she?
[20:07] Matsuda
No, it's not like that.
[20:09] Matsuda
Tange-san's a little strange and
irresponsible, but she's not mean.

but you don't want any in return.
[04:12] Tange

Does I-1 know about this?
[04:55] Hayasaka
I haven't told them anything.
[04:57] Matsuda
What? You haven't asked
for their permission?
[05:00] Hayasaka
Why should I worry
about what he thinks?
[05:03] Matsuda
But...
[05:04] Hayasaka
Isn't everyone forever
under I-1's control
[05:07] Hayasaka
because we're constantly
worried about how he feels?
[05:12] Hayasaka
I think he'd have
more purpose if someone
[05:14] Hayasaka
who could catch him
off guard were to appear.
[05:18] Matsuda
I see...
[05:19] Hayasaka
Besides, he doesn't own me,
and I'll work with whoever I want.
[05:25] Hayasaka
That's all.

but we don't want to pick
pointless fights with I-1.

[11:33] Mother
Are you okay?
[11:35] Airi
Yeah. My lessons are tough.
[11:38] Airi
It's kind of fun, though.
[11:40] Brother
You sure you're not dragging
everyone down with you?
[11:44] Airi
Maybe.
[11:46] Airi
But everyone has
their own personality.
[11:49] Airi
Everyone in WUG is so talented.
[11:51] Airi
I think they're so cool.
[11:54] Brother
Then you're just a fan.
[11:57] Airi
I am. I'm a huge fan.
[12:00] Airi
Oh, yeah. You should
come to one of our concerts.
[12:03] Brother
I'd be too embarrassed
to watch you perform!
[12:09] Kaya
We're right in the middle
of the rainy season.
[12:11] Kaya
It's been raining every day,
[12:13] Kaya
I never get the chance
to hang my laundry.
[12:15] Kaya
It's so sad.
SIGN Tomorrow
[12:17] Miyu
I hate hanging my clothes up indoors.
[12:19] Miyu
Laundry needs to receive the sun's rays.
[12:23] Yoshino
Tomorrow, it will rain
first thing in the morning,
[12:27] Yoshino
but from afternoon to evening,
the skies should be clear.
[12:31] Yoshino
Right, Ai-chan?
[12:32] Airi
Yes?
[12:34] Airi
Oh, um...
[12:35] Airi
Y-Your laundry might get
some sun if you hang it then.
[12:41] AD
We're in commercial!
[12:43] WUG
Thank you very much!
[12:45] Airi
Uh, um...
[12:47] Airi
I-I'm so sorry!
[12:49] Director
What's wrong?
[12:50] Director
Did you let your guard down
now that you're used to the show?
[12:53] Airi
I-It's not like that!
[12:54] Airi
I was just spacing out.
[12:56] Airi
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
[12:58] Director
You've all been seeming
a little tired lately.
[13:04] Director
Are you okay?
[13:06] Director
You're professionals.
[13:07] Director
No matter how hard things get,
you need to bring the energy.
[13:10] Director
Good work today.
[13:12] All
Thank you.
[13:15] Airi
I'm sorry. It's my fault...
[13:18] Kaya
Don't worry about it.
[13:19] Miyu
Bring the energy, huh?
[13:21] Miyu
It's not that easy.
[13:23] Yoshino
With all the energy we've been burning,
[13:26] Yoshino
we may have unconsciously
been less energetic.
[13:29] Kaya
And on days we have three concerts...
[13:35] Hayasaka
That's all for today.
[13:37] WUG
Thank you very much.
[13:41] Hayasaka
Hayashida Airi.
[13:42] Airi
Yes.
[13:44] Hayasaka
You stay.
[13:45] Airi
Y-Yes.
[14:01] Kaya
Are you waiting for Airi?
[14:04] Mayu
Yeah.
[14:05] Kaya
It might take a while.
[14:07] Nanami
Sorry, but I'm at my limit.
I want to go home.
[14:10] Miyu
Me, too.
[14:11] Nanami
Can we let our leader
handle this one?
[14:15] Yoshino
Huh? Me?
[14:16] Mayu
I'll be fine by myself. You can go.
[14:20] All
Thanks for staying.
[14:21] All
Thanks.
[14:27] Hayasaka
So... Hayashida Airi, why did you
audition for Wake Up, Girls!?
[14:34] Hayasaka
In fact, why do you want to be an idol?
[14:37] Airi
Um... I guess I wanted to change myself.
[14:41] Airi
That's why I decided to apply.
[14:43] Hayasaka
How do you feel now that you're doing it?
[14:46] Airi
It's far more fun than I imagined.
[14:48] Hayasaka
Why are you having fun?
[14:51] Hayasaka
Do you not understand what I'm saying?
[14:54] Hayasaka
Which one are you?
[14:56] Airi
Which what?
[14:57] Hayasaka
We're creators.
[15:01] Hayasaka
We're the ones entertaining the audience.
[15:04] Hayasaka
You may be better suited
to being a member of the audience.
[15:09] Hayasaka
Honestly speaking, I don't
think you have any talent.
[15:12] Hayasaka
If you're going to reconsider, now is the time.
[15:16] Hayasaka
That's all I have to say.
[15:21] Hayasaka
Good work today.
[15:23] Airi
Th-Thank you!
[15:50] Airi
You waited for me?
[15:52] Mayu
I had everyone else leave.
[15:54] Mayu
They seemed to be at their limit.
[15:57] Airi
I see.
[15:58] Mayu
Let's go home.
[16:00] Mayu
I'm starving.
[16:03] Airi
Sorry. I'm going to stop
by the convenience store.
[16:07] Mayu
Oh... Okay...
[16:22] Shiraki
It seems the Sendai
opening concert ended
[16:26] Shiraki
the other day without any problems.
[16:28] Shiraki
Good work, participating members.
[16:31] Shiraki
Thanks to you, it was a huge success.
[16:33] Shiraki
Is what I'd like to say, but...
[16:36] Shiraki
The tickets were sold out,
[16:39] Shiraki
but there were three people
who didn't come that day.
[16:43] Shiraki
Were they sick?
[16:45] Shiraki
Were they unable to come because
their grandfather fell ill?
[16:48] Shiraki
Did they swallow their tears
due to work or studies?
[16:52] Shiraki
We don't know the reason.
[16:54] Shiraki
This is the first time
it's happened during
[16:57] Shiraki
the I-1 Club's National 47 Prefecture
Love Connection Project.
[17:01] Shiraki

[17:11] Shiho

[17:14] Shiraki
I suppose you could call
them an unrefined or
[17:17] Shiraki
unaffected product of only Sendai.
[17:20] Shiraki
They're just a little
countryside idol group.
[17:24] Shiraki
If you're laughing right now, you're wrong.
[17:28] Shiraki
I suspect they will catch up
to you in the near future.
[17:33] Shiraki
When they do, let's break them down!
[17:37] Shiho
Yes!
[17:38] All
Yes!

Let us conclude this day by singing
[17:42] Shiraki
the necessary attributes
of a popular idol together.
[17:44] Shiraki
Don't rest! Don't complain! Don't think!
[17:47] Girls
Don't rest! Don't complain! Don't think!
[17:50] Shiraki
Always gratitude!
[17:51] Girls
Always gratitude!
[17:55] Hayasaka
Today's your first day
of back-to-back concerts.
[18:00] Hayasaka
Honestly, we have a lot
of tickets leftover.
[18:03] Hayasaka
It's a fight to see how
large of an audience
[18:05] Hayasaka
we can gather for
the 2 o'clock show.
[18:07] Hayasaka
Doing so will increase the
number of repeat customers
[18:09] Hayasaka
for the 4 and 6 o'clock shows.
[18:11] All
Yes, sir!

you can do right now.
[18:33] Hayasaka
You're off key.
[18:34] Hayasaka
You can't dance properly.
[18:37] Hayasaka
I'm pretty sure kindergarten plays
are a little better these days.
[18:43] Hayasaka
Are you frustrated?
[18:44] Hayasaka
Then show me a performance
that will even impress me.
[18:48] Hayasaka
If you can't, there's still
time in a lot of ways.
[18:55] Hayasaka
Well, see you next week.
[19:01] Miyu
I can't take it anymore.
[19:03] Kaya
What? You're done eating?
[19:05] Miyu
No, not that. I'm talking
about Hayasaka-san.
[19:08] Kaya
Oh...
[19:09] Miyu
You know I'm someone
who grows with praise.
[19:12] Kaya
I don't know anything about that.
[19:14] Miyu
Well, when someone keeps telling
me I'm bad, I lose all my energy.
[19:21] Kaya
Yeah, I might have
thought about that, too.
[19:24] Miyu
What?
[19:25] Kaya
Being abused like that
really pisses me off.
[19:28] Kaya
If this were one of my jobs,
I'd have quit a long time ago.
[19:31] Miyu
Yeah...
[19:32] Kaya
Like why are we even doing this?

Airi, it's time for dinner!
[20:07] Mother
Airi!
[20:09] Airi
Okay...
[20:14] MAI
People often ask me what a captain does,
[20:18] MAI
and I think I have the strength
to support my team from the shadows.
[20:23] MAI
For example,
[20:24] MAI
when someone looks like they're about
[20:25] MAI
to mentally fall from the stage,
[20:27] MAI
I support them, so they don't fall.
[20:29] MAI
It can be hard, but because
it's for the team,
[20:32] MAI
I've never disliked doing it.
[20:49] Yoshino
Mayu, where's Airi?
[20:51] Mayu
Huh? She's not here?
[20:52] Minami
She's usually the first or second one here.
[20:56] Kaya
She's never been late.
[20:58] Miyu
She didn't get in an accident, did she?
[21:02] Nanami
Don't be so negative!
[21:05] Yoshino
This isn't good.
[21:06] Yoshino
He said he wouldn't hold
lessons if anyone was late.
[21:09] Mayu
It's no use.
[21:09] Mayu
She's not answering.
[21:16] Yoshino
Um, Airi's still not here.
[21:19] Minami
Ai-chan's never been late before.
[21:22] Minami
We thought something
might have happened to her.
[21:24] Hayasaka
I did some of my own thinking
after last week's performance.
[21:28] Hayasaka
In my opinion, Wake Up, Girls!
doesn't need Hayashida Airi.
[21:35] Hayasaka
As you all know,
[21:37] Hayasaka
I am currently responsible
for managing Wake Up, Girls!.
[21:41] Hayasaka
Let me cut to the chase.
[21:42] Hayasaka
I'm thinking of cutting
Hayashida Airi from the group.
[21:45] Kaya
Hold on! You can't just...
[21:47] Hayasaka
I just told you.
[21:49] Hayasaka
You're currently under my control.
[21:52] Hayasaka
If you're willing to cut
Hayashida Airi now,
[21:55] Hayasaka

[02:25] Matsuda
What? I'm not interested
in discussing Zen riddles with you!
[02:29] Hayasaka
Neither am I.
[02:32] Matsuda
Considering you work with I-1,
[02:35] Matsuda
it's no wonder you think
Wake Up, Girls! is terrible.
[02:38] Matsuda
They're hardly professionals,
[02:40] Matsuda
but they're working through
it at their own pace.
[02:46] Matsuda
If you shake them now when their
teamwork isn't solid yet, they...
[02:52] Tange
If that's all it takes to crush them,
they're not good enough.

Lions push their cubs
off cliffs and raise

Those who can't climb back up
the cliff can't survive in the jungle.
[03:09] Hayasaka
But don't expect me to say
something so hot-blooded.
[03:18] Hayasaka
Potatoes can't come climbing back
up if you roll them down a hill.

[03:26] Matsuda
Say something!
[03:33] Miyu
What should we do?
[03:34] Nanami
There's nothing we can do.
[03:37] Miyu
Huh? Are you saying
we should cut Ai-chan?
[03:41] Nanami
That's not what I said.
[03:44] Kaya
What should we do, leader?
[03:45] Yoshino
What?
[03:51] Nanami
We only have seven minutes left.
[03:55] Miyu
Should we take a vote?
[03:56] Kaya
Without even talking about it?
[03:59] Nanami
But time keeps passing
while we talk about it.
[04:03] Miyu

[04:05] Yoshino
Stop forcing me
to make every decision!
[04:07] Miyu
Huh? But you're our leader...
[04:11] Yoshino
Yeah, but why do I
have to make the decision?
[04:15] Miyu
We're not asking you to do that.
[04:18] Kaya
We won't get anywhere like this.
[04:21] Nanami
We're running out of time!
[04:24] Kaya
You shut up.
[04:25] Nanami
But...
[04:27] Yoshino
What should I do, then?!
[04:28] Yoshino
Should I decide if we're voting or not?!
[04:31] Kaya
It's not like that.
[04:39] Hayasaka
Honestly speaking, I don't
think you have any talent.
[05:04] Hayasaka
Why are you having fun?
[05:15] Mayu
It's almost time.
[05:19] Mayu
I want Airi to stay.
[05:23] Yoshino
Does that mean you're okay
with everyone being fired?
[05:28] Miyu
What?!
[05:29] Kaya
Are you saying you'd cut her?
[05:35] Yoshino
This must be the difference
between us and I-1.
[05:40] Nanami
What do you mean?
[05:42] Yoshino
We're not sure if we're just
playing with our friends or not.
[05:46] Nanami
I don't get it.
[05:48] Yoshino
Because we get upset so easily,
[05:50] Yoshino
we'll be treated like amateurs forever!
[05:53] Miyu
Treated like amateurs?
[05:55] Yoshino
Isn't it true, though?

say Wake Up, Girls!

doesn't exist without Shimada Mayu!

You're bringing that up now?
[06:03] Yoshino
After all, we're not

has nothing to do with this.

What?
[07:09] Mayu
You're right that we're
here to become idols,
[07:12] Mayu
but is that what being
an idol is about?

[10:59] Hayasaka
You won't cut Hayashida Airi,
but you want to continue your lessons?
[11:08] Hayasaka
Don't you think you're pushing your luck?
[11:09] Miyu
You're right.
[11:11] Kaya
But this is the conclusion we
reached after discussing it together.
[11:14] Kaya
Even the president
told us to come talk to you.
[11:20] Hayasaka
I see.
[11:22] Hayasaka
You can start by doing
what I tell you to do.
[11:25] Minami
All right!
[11:27] Hayasaka
It's still too early to celebrate.
[11:29] Hayasaka
Could you go get
three of those for me?
[11:40] Mayu
Airi...
[11:41] Airi
Well? Don't I look good?
[11:45] Kaya
Okay, just like that.
[11:48] Kaya
That was close.
[11:50] Kaya
We'll get it next time.
[11:51] Miyu
You've been saying "we'll get it
next time" since three tries ago.
[11:56] Kaya
Shut up!
[11:57] Miyu
Stop, stop!
[11:58] Miyu
You're too slow!
[12:01] Kaya
I told you to shut up!
[12:08] Mayu
Um...
[12:09] Mom
Here you go.
[12:12] Mom
Sorry all we ever
have is our sweets.
[12:16] Mom
Oh, Airi made these.
[12:20] Mom
That's why they look a little funny.
[12:22] Airi
That's enough, Mom.
[12:25] Mom
Okay, okay. I'm sorry
for bothering you.
[12:31] Mayu
Listen...
[12:32] Airi
I'm thinking of quitting WUG.
[12:36] Airi
Unlike everyone else,
I don't have any talent.
[12:42] Airi
Even if I keep practicing, I...
[12:46] Yoshino
Did Hayasaka-san tell you that?
[12:49] Airi
Yeah.
[13:01] Hayasaka
You're not having any luck.
[13:03] Hayasaka
What are you going to do?
[13:07] Kaya
I'm going to get more change.
[13:12] Minami
I'll give it a try.
[13:14] Both
What?
[13:15] Airi
I thought I could get somewhere
with enough practice, but I can't.
[13:21] Yoshino
I feel the same way about myself.
[13:24] Airi
You and I are on different levels.
[13:30] Airi
I love Wake Up, Girls!.
[13:34] Airi
When I'm with everyone,
I can't help how much fun I'm having.
[13:40] Airi
Since the audition, I've always
thought everyone's so cute.
[13:46] Airi
I felt elated.
[13:51] Airi
I wrongly assumed just being with
you made me part of the group.
[13:59] Mayu
Wrongly assumed?
[14:00] Airi
Yeah, I was wrong.
[14:03] Airi
Now that I think about it,
[14:04] Airi
there's something wrong with
me being in the same group
[14:09] Airi
as a former I-1 center and
someone who's been in magazines.
[14:15] Yoshino
I don't think that's true.
[14:17] Airi
It is.
[14:18] Yoshino
What?
[14:19] Airi
It is true.
[14:22] Airi
After all, I'm the only
one who's different.
[14:25] Yoshino
What?
[14:27] Airi
I'm the only one with no presence.
[14:30] Yoshino
That's not...
[14:31] Airi
You don't need to force yourself, Yoppi.
[14:33] Yoshino
I'm not forcing anything.
[14:35] Airi
I understand who I am.
[14:39] Mayu
Why would you say that?
[14:42] Mayu
I decided to join WUG and try being
an idol again because of you.
[14:49] Airi
What?
[14:50] Mayu
When I heard you were auditioning
and we sang and danced together,
[14:55] Mayu
I realized something.
[14:57] Mayu
I like doing this kind of thing.
[15:02] Airi
Because the night is cold, tomorrow...
[15:07] Airi
The mic is bothering me,
and I can't sing!
[15:09] Mayu
Let me see that.
[15:11] Mayu
Remember this distance between
your mouth and the mic.
[15:14] Airi
Huh.
[15:16] Mayu
Give it a try.
[15:23] Mayu
When I was depressed,
you appeared blindingly bright.
[15:39] Mayu
You were shining then.
[15:42] Mayu
That's how it looked to me.
[15:46] Mayu
You made me decide to return.
[15:51] Mayu
So don't say you're quitting.
[15:57] Kaya
You've got it!
[15:58] Nanami
You can do it!
[15:59] Miyu
Just like that!
[16:03] Minami
All right!
[16:04] Miyu
I got one! Okay, let's get another!
[16:07] Kaya
Let's keep up our energy!
[16:08] All
Yeah!
[16:16] Airi
I'm sorry. I can't do it.
[16:19] Airi
I may have been shining then,
[16:22] Airi
but now I'm just
holding everyone back.
[16:26] Yoshino
So, what?
[16:27] Airi
Huh?
[16:28] Yoshino
Then let's make sure you don't!
[16:31] Yoshino
I'll even help you!
[16:34] Yoshino
At the very least,
it's not too late to quit until...
[16:38] Yoshino
until after you've tried everything!
[16:42] Airi
Yoppi...
[16:44] Yoshino
I don't know how
I ended up as our leader,
[16:49] Yoshino
but I have no idea
what I'm supposed to do!
[16:54] Yoshino
I don't know what I'm doing.
[16:57] Yoshino
Everyone keeps telling me things,
and they seem really worried.
[17:01] Yoshino
I even tried organizing
everyone's thoughts,
[17:03] Yoshino
but I couldn't even organize my own.
[17:07] Yoshino
When Hayasaka-san told us
to decide whether we'd continue
[17:11] Yoshino
our lessons or cut you
from the group...
[17:14] Yoshino
everyone kept saying
leader, leader, but...
[17:17] Airi
So that's what happened.
[17:19] Yoshino
What?
[17:20] Airi
Don't worry about me anymore.
[17:24] Airi
I don't want to cause
any more trouble.
[17:26] Yoshino
You said we shouldn't
worry on our own!
[17:29] Yoshino
You're the one who said
we shouldn't worry on our own.
[17:33] Yoshino
Worry with the rest of us, then.
[17:35] Yoshino
Let's think together.
[17:37] Yoshino
If we don't do that,
what's the purpose of this group?
[17:40] Airi
You can talk to us about anything.
[17:42] Airi
We're a group. Let's come
up with something together.
[17:50] Nanami
You're amazing, Minami!
[17:51] Miyu

[18:00] Minami
Hayasaka-san,
give us one more chance.
[18:04] Minami
Prepare yourself, Musubimaru!
[18:08] Yoshino
After discussing it, we decided
we'd do anything to bring you back!
[18:14] Yoshino
That's why Mayushi and I came here!
[18:18] Yoshino
This is my first command as a leader.
[18:23] Yoshino
Come back, Airi!
[18:57] All
All right!
[18:59] Miyu
Yes, yes!
[19:02] Minami
Yeah!

Thank you.

G-Good morning.

Good work on your daily lessons.
[02:37] Shiraki
As you all know,
[02:39] Shiraki
the I-1 Club National 47 Prefecture
Love Connection Project
[02:43] Shiraki
will meet its goal
[02:45] Shiraki
of opening a theater in every
prefecture by the end of the year.
[02:50] Shiraki
But it's far too early to relax.
[02:53] Shiraki
The battle is only just beginning.
[02:54] Shiraki
The Idol Festival!
[02:58] Shiraki
This year, you'll face the idol
groups across the country you've been
[03:04] Shiraki
competing with on I-1's home turf, Tokyo.
[03:08] Shiraki
Those who make it through
their local preliminaries
[03:11] Shiraki
will challenge us at the end of the year.
[03:14] Shiraki
Of course, you won't
compete with them directly.
[03:17] Shiraki
However, standing on the
same stage with them
[03:19] Shiraki
is the same as battling them.
[03:21] Shiraki
You will engage them, take them down,
and crush them to smithereens!
[03:30] Shiraki
Oh, and numbers 1135, 1136, and 1137.
[03:35] Girls
Y-Yes!
[03:37] Shiraki
You greeted me just now
when I entered the room.
[03:40] Girls
Yes!
[03:42] Shiraki
Are you stupid?
[03:44] Shiraki
Listen carefully.
[03:45] Shiraki
The battlefield extends beyond the stage.
[03:48] Shiraki
It even applies to your lessons.
[03:50] Shiraki
Let your guard down even a little,
and you're finished.
[03:53] Shiraki
Once you stand here,
pay no attention to anything else.
[03:58] Shiraki

Nothing captures the hearts
of fans more than focus.

Hayasaka-san has his eye on them.

But isn't Wake Up, Girls! from

I'm surprised they could afford him.

who was interested in them.

It's the blues of being the top runner.

I thought you'd say that.
[06:34] Shiraki
Shimada Mayu is good, isn't she?
[06:37] Hayasaka
What?
[06:38] Hayasaka
Oh, it's certainly no wonder
she was I-1's first center.
[06:43] Shiraki
If she pulls the other
amateur members along,
[06:47] Shiraki
Wake Up, Girls! might end up
being an interesting group.

I don't know about that.

by the time he comes back.
[10:06] Miyu
That's right.
[10:07] Miyu
Let's surprise him with our progress.
[10:10] Matsuda
So, what did you want
to talk to me about?
SIGN Certain Victory: Idol Festival!!
SIGN Hikarizuka Music School
[10:16] Matsuda
This is...
SIGN Certain Victory: Idol Festival!!
[10:18] Matsuda
Now that I think of it, you mentioned
this during your audition.
[10:21] Nanami
Yes. They're the entrance
requirements for Hikarizuka.
[10:24] Nanami
I'm thinking I should
start focusing on studying
[10:26] Nanami
for the entrance exam soon.
[10:27] Matsuda
What? But...
[10:29] Nanami
The entrance exam is next spring.
[10:31] Nanami
I had always intended to stop
working with WUG by then.
[10:34] Matsuda
Huh? What?
[10:36] Matsuda
What?!
[10:38] Nanami
Anyway, I won't be able
to participate in the Idol Festival.
[10:42] Matsuda
What? What?!
[10:45] Nanami
I'm sorry.
[10:46] Nanami
Anyway, I hope you understand.
[10:48] Matsuda
What?
[10:50] Nanami
Excuse me.
[10:52] Matsuda
Hey, wait...
[10:53] Matsuda
Um...
[10:57] Matsuda
What am I going to do?
[11:00] Matsuda
Nanami!
[11:01] Matsuda
President?
[11:02] Tange
What? What's with the slack expression?
[11:05] Matsuda
That's not important!
[11:06] Matsuda
It's an emergency!
[11:08] Tange
What?
[11:09] Boss
Minami-chan, it's been a while.
[11:12] Boss
After you came, we were covered
by a bunch of other places.
[11:15] Boss
It's all because you made
the food look so good.
[11:19] Minami
But the food really is good.
[11:22] Boss
Today, we even have people
from I-1 coming to cover the place.
[11:26] Minami
What?
[11:27] Boss
They should be arriving soon.
[11:29] Both
Hello!
[11:31] Boss
Welcome.
[11:34] Manager
Thank you for having us today.
[11:35] Manager
I'm their manager, Machida.
[11:36] Nanoka
What are you doing here, Mayu?
[11:37] Manager
Nice to meet you.
[11:38] Boss
It's nice to meet you, too.
[11:54] Nanoka
Should we address it to Honeybee?
[11:56] Minami
Oh, well.
[11:57] Minami
Just when I thought we'd
established a place for WUG fans...
[12:01] Kaya
It feels like I-1 stole it
right out from under us.
[12:04] Miyu
We can't help it.
[12:05] Miyu
They have theaters operating
all over the country.
[12:09] Minami
But we're the ones who get
to live in the area and
[12:12] Minami
come here all the time.
[12:19] Miyu
Whoa! The I-1 center is coming this way!
[12:24] Shiho
Hayasaka-san is strict, isn't he?
[12:26] Mayu
Huh?
[12:27] Mayu
Yeah, he is.
[12:29] Shiho
But he's not interested
in hopeless individuals.
[12:35] Nanami
Thanks for waiting.
[12:37] Miyu
Look at that.
[12:38] Nanami
What's going on?
[12:39] Kaya
She wanted to talk about
something and dragged her away.
[12:42] Miyu
What are they talking about?
[12:44] Airi
Their past, maybe?
[12:46] Miyu
Mayushi, you're as cute as ever.
[12:49] Miyu
But, Shihocchi, your skin is so smooth.
[12:52] Miyu
Like that?
[12:53] Kaya
No way.
[12:54] Minami
I wonder if Mayushi's okay.
[12:57] Kaya
I'll handle it, if I have to.
[12:58] Miyu
What are you? A hit man?
[13:02] Shiho
I heard you're participating
in the Idol Festival, too.
[13:05] Mayu
Yeah.
[13:06] Shiho
Don't forget you used to be part of I-1.
[13:10] Mayu
What?
[13:11] Shiho
If you're just going to
produce embarrassing results,
[13:13] Shiho
it's better not to participate at all.
[13:15] Shiho
You'll damage I-1's reputation.
[13:19] Shiho
If you're coming, bring everything you have.
[13:21] Shiho
I'll crush you will all I've got.
[13:27] Shiho
Thank you for today.
[13:29] Boss
No. Thank you.
[13:30] Boss
Please come again.
[13:36] Miyu
Are you all right?
[13:37] Airi
Did she say anything mean?
[13:41] Yoshino
What did she say to you?
[13:43] Mayu
It wasn't anything special.
[13:46] Minami
Our pancakes are getting cold over there.
[13:49] Minami
Poor pancakes.
[13:51] Mayu
You're right. Sorry.
SIGN It's happening again this year! The battle to determine the nation's greatest idol, the Idol Festival. This year marks the fourth time the nation's greatest idol will be chosen. The winning group will be officially recognized as I-1's rival and will make their major debut and receive a one-year contract.
SIGN "Idol Festival 2014"
SIGN I'm so excited for the center battle!
SIGN I'm amazed Shimada's brazenly working as an idol. WUG brought in Hayasaka for help! Who knows what will happen now?
[14:02] Ota
I can't help that WUG is
[14:04] Ota
compared to I-1 and criticized
with Mayushi in their roster.
[14:07] Ota
However, I hope WUG ignores
such comments and grows
[14:11] Ota
in their own way at their own pace.
[14:14] Kaya
Regional preliminary idol predictions?
[14:18] Miyu
Hokkaido's Puchi Marimo,
Nagoya's Akamiso All-stars,
[14:21] Miyu
and Osaka's Team Cheetah
are sure things.
[14:24] Miyu
However, everyone's focused
on the dark horse,
[14:28] Miyu
former I-1 center's
Wake Up, Girls!...
[14:32] Miyu
It wouldn't be impossible
for us to win!
[14:34] Minami
To win?
[14:35] Minami
Let me see that!
[14:37] Airi
Me, too!
[14:38] Miyu
If we win, we'll make
our mainstream debut.
[14:41] Miyu
It'll be our big break.
[14:43] Airi
We'll be on the covers
of all kinds of magazines.
[14:45] Minami
We might even appear on music
shows on Tokyo TV stations.
[14:49] All
And at the end of the year,
the Red vs. White Concert...
[14:53] Miyu
We've got to do it!
[14:56] Miyu
WUG's time is coming!

I'm out.
[15:45] Kaya
I'm thirsty, too.
[15:47] Kaya
Do you want me to get some for you?
[15:49] Minami
Sure.
[15:51] Minami
Why don't you two take a break, too?
[15:54] Mayu
But we need to practice a little more.
[15:56] Yoshino
Don't you think you're working too hard?
[15:59] Mayu
When I was part of I-1, we practiced more.
[16:02] Yoshino
Why would you say that?
[16:03] Airi
It's okay.
[16:05] Airi
I asked Mayu to teach me.
[16:08] Yoshino
It's late.
[16:09] Yoshino
Why don't you stop for today
and pick things up tomorrow?
[16:14] Airi
I'm going to stay and keep practicing.
[16:17] Airi
You girls can go ahead.
[16:20] Airi
Mayushi, I hope you'll
teach me again tomorrow.
[16:24] Nanami
I'll stay, too.
[16:25] Airi
Huh?
[16:31] Yoshino
Do you want to stop by
Honeybee again today?
[16:32] Miyu
Sounds good.
[16:33] Minami
I'm hungry.
[16:35] Minami
What about you, Mayushi.
[16:36] Mayu
I'm going home.

[16:52] Airi

[16:54] Airi
5, 6, 7, 8.
[16:57] Airi
What do you think?
[16:59] Nanami
You're most of the way there.
[17:01] Nanami
But you need to stick your heel out
[17:03] Nanami
farther for the last part, like this.
[17:07] Airi
Okay. Like this?
[17:09] Nanami
Yeah, that's it.
[17:10] Airi
You know, you don't usually stay late.
[17:14] Nanami
Huh? Oh, yeah...
[17:18] Airi
What a difficult song.
[17:20] Airi
I need to practice more.
[17:21] Airi
You're lucky you can do it properly.
[17:25] Airi
I need to work even harder.
[17:28] Airi
I don't want to hold
everyone back anymore.
[17:32] Nanami
Can I ask you something?
[17:34] Airi
What?
[17:35] Nanami
How can you work so hard?
[17:38] Airi
Huh?
[17:39] Airi
Because I've been given this chance.
[17:43] Yoshino
After discussing it, we decided
we'd do anything to bring you back!
[17:47] Airi
I don't want to let them down,
and I don't want to run away.
[17:51] Nanami
Huh...
[17:52] Airi
Since I was little I've never
been good at anything I've tried.
[17:58] Airi
I could never keep anything up.
[18:00] Airi
I always ended up quitting right away.
[18:03] Airi
But after everything that happened,
I gave it some thought.
[18:07] Airi
I decided I wanted to change who I am.
[18:09] Airi
That's why I auditioned for WUG.
[18:12] Airi
I decided that if I got in, I'd do my best
[18:15] Airi
instead of running,
for once in my life, but...
[18:20] Airi
But nothing changed.
[18:22] Airi
I was still holding everyone back.
[18:25] Airi
I ran away.
[18:28] Airi
I knew that wasn't good enough,
but my feelings were half-hearted.
[18:34] Nanami
Half-hearted...
[18:36] Airi
I'm a huge WUG fan.
[18:39] Airi
I really love them.
[18:41] Airi
I don't think I could love anything more.
[18:45] Airi
That's why I wanted to be a proper
member instead of just a fan.
[18:54] Airi
Right now, my head's full
of thoughts about the Idol Festival.
[18:57] Airi
I'll do anything to win.
[19:00] Nanami
I see.
[19:16] Hayasaka
Okay, stop.
[19:19] Hayasaka
You're barely scoring twenty points.
[19:22] Kaya
But we're doing our best.
[19:24] Hayasaka
Doing your best? What?
[19:26] Hayasaka
That's normal!
[19:28] Hayasaka
Everyone's working hard!
[19:30] Hayasaka
What's important is producing results!
[19:32] Hayasaka
In order to do that, you need
to work two, three, four, ten,
[19:35] Hayasaka
a hundred times harder
than everyone else!
[19:37] Hayasaka
How many hours did you
practice this week?
[19:41] Yoshino
A little more than twenty, I think.
[19:43] Hayasaka
So few!
[19:44] Hayasaka
That's not nearly enough!
[19:46] Hayasaka
That's not even half
the time I-1 practiced!
[19:51] Hayasaka
Well, it's not as though just
practicing for more hours is enough.
[19:54] Hayasaka
You have to work a hundred times as hard
[19:56] Hayasaka
and produce a thousand times the results.
[19:59] Hayasaka
See you next week.
[20:05] Hayasaka
At this rate, you won't make
it out of the preliminaries.
[20:10] Kaya
He didn't have to put it that way.
[20:11] Miyu
Do you think it's impossible, after all?
[20:14] Yoshino
That can't be true.
[20:16] Minami
He said we didn't practice
half as much as I-1.
[20:19] Minami
That means we're not
practicing nearly enough.
[20:22] Yoshino
Let's call it quits for today and...
[20:24] Mayu
Wait, Yoppi.
[20:27] Mayu
I do think we don't practice enough.
[20:31] Mayu
Like Hayasaka-san said,
I-1's lessons aren't nearly this easy.
[20:37] Mayu
We should practice more
effectively and more earnestly.
[20:41] Mayu
At this rate, I really do think
[20:43] Mayu
our chances in the preliminaries are shady.
[20:46] Mayu
We should review everything
from our lesson plans
[20:48] Mayu
to the time we spend.
[20:49] Yoshino
Mayushi, you're just flustered.
[20:51] Mayu
Of course I am!
[20:53] Mayu
I'm saying these half-hearted
practices aren't good enough.
[20:56] Mayu
We can't beat the I-1 Club like this!
[20:58] Yoshino
What?
[21:00] Yoshino
Why do you keep bringing them up?
[21:02] Yoshino
The I-1 Club has nothing to do with us!
[21:05] Yoshino
I don't know what the I-1 center said to you,
[21:08] Yoshino
but you said you were working
with WUG to make yourself happy.
[21:13] Yoshino
Does that mean beating the I-1 Club?
[21:16] Yoshino
I don't know why you quit I-1,
[21:18] Yoshino
but why do you have to drag us into it?
[21:21] Mayu
That's not what I meant.
[21:23] Yoshino
What, then?
[21:24] Yoshino
You're always dodging
our questions when it comes to this!
[21:27] Matsuda
Huh? What's going on?
[21:29] Yoshino
Why did you quit?
[21:31] Yoshino
Why don't you just tell us the truth already?
[21:34] Kaya
Hey!
[21:35] Mayu
That has nothing to do with this!
[21:36] Yoshino
It does!
[21:37] Kaya
Stop!
[21:42] Airi
Mayu!

Mayu?

Does saury make your breasts bigger?
[05:52] Miyu
Oh, I see.
[05:54] Miyu
Kayatan, you've liked saury
since you were little, right?
[05:57] Minami
It must be.
[05:59] Kaya
Saury has nothing to do with it.
[06:02] Minami
By the way, where's the president?
[06:14] Manager
This is on the house.
[06:17] Tange
Oh, don't worry about me.
[06:19] Tange
Just because I'm a woman
traveling through the north,
[06:21] Tange
it doesn't necessarily mean that.
[06:22] Manager
Well, but...
[06:23] Tange
Anyway, it's the opposite.
[06:25] Tange
Lately, coming north gives me energy.
[06:31] Tange
Thanks for the food.
[06:33] Tange
Here's your money.
[06:34] Tange
Keep the change.
[06:35] Manager
You're a thousand yen short.
[06:37] Tange
Oh...
[06:38] Manager
Thank you very much.
[06:41] Tange
Now, let's see how these girls
[06:43] Tange
will get themselves
out of this predicament.
[07:05] Mayu
What's wrong?
[07:06] Kaya
Nothing.
[07:07] Kaya
You're really into this.
[07:08] Mayu
Yeah, I run every day.
[07:11] Kaya
I see.
[07:17] Mayu
I wasn't sure what would happen then,
[07:20] Mayu
but everyone's stronger than I expected.
[07:24] Kaya
Can I tell you a secret?
[07:26] Mayu
What?
[07:33] Mayu
Can I read it?
[07:34] Kaya
Yeah.
[07:37] Mayu
Kaya-chan, how are you?
[07:38] Mayu
A buoy with a Shoutoumaru
mark washed up in Alaska.
[07:42] Mayu
We decided to take it.
[07:44] Mayu
Anyway, Kaya-chan,
why don't you come home?
[07:48] Mayu
What is this?
[07:49] Kaya
I got that letter from my aunt last year.
[07:53] Kaya
Three years ago, I lost
many important things.
[08:00] Kaya
Living here became really difficult.
[08:03] Kaya
I ran away to Sendai.
[08:06] Kaya
Anyway, I still couldn't go home,
even after receiving that letter.
[08:11] Kaya
I couldn't make the decision
to return for so long.
[08:16] Kaya
In the end, I idled around in Sendai.
[08:19] Kaya
I didn't know what to do.
[08:22] Kaya
Then I happened to see it.

[08:35] Kaya
I thought I'd apply.
[08:39] Kaya
I started on a whim.
[08:41] Kaya
I thought I'd work and have fun,
[08:44] Kaya
and if it got boring,
I'd quit on a whim.
[08:48] Kaya
But it slowly stopped being that way.
[08:51] Kaya
With everything that's happened,
it's just not fun, anymore.
[08:55] Kaya
I've had frustrating and
difficult experiences, too.
[08:57] Kaya
And then I remembered
something from my past.
[09:03] Kaya
I lost again!
[09:05] Boy
You're so weak!
[09:06] Kaya
Why are you so strong?
[09:08] Boy
I was sick of losing to my
grandpa and dad all the time.
[09:13] Boy
While trying over and over,
I gradually got stronger.
[09:16] Boy
These days, I can almost beat my dad.
[09:18] Kaya
Really?
[09:20] Boy
You should keep challenging people
stronger than yourself, too.
[09:23] Boy
It'll make you stronger.
[09:25] Kaya
Okay! Let's do it again!
[09:28] Boy
Sure!
[09:29] Kaya
I kept trying after that.
[09:32] Kaya
By the end, I had improved enough
to beat him a lot of the time.
[09:38] Kaya
That's why I can't walk away
after losing to strong opponents.
[09:42] Kaya
I don't think Wake Up, Girls!
can end like this, either.
[09:47] Kaya
I feel like I finally found
something I can work toward.
[09:51] Kaya
That's why I felt like
I could return to the city
[09:54] Kaya
I'd been running from.
[09:57] Kaya
But I couldn't do it alone,
so I had everyone come with me.
[10:03] Mayu
I see.
[10:05] Kaya
I don't know how that little
buoy made its way to Alaska,
[10:10] Kaya
but I felt like it was
telling me to keep trying.
[10:17] Kaya
I want to work hard for those who can't.
[10:22] Kaya
That's how I feel now.
[10:26] Kaya
This is my secret.
[10:28] Kaya
Sorry. I know that wasn't like me.
[10:31] Mayu
It's okay.
[10:34] Miyu
I can't hear what they're saying.
[10:36] Miyu
Let's get a little closer.
[10:37] Minami
They'll notice.
[10:39] Airi
Quiet.
[10:41] Kaya
Now it's your turn.
[10:43] Mayu
What?
[10:47] Kaya
Don't you think it's time to tell us?
[10:54] Kaya
Remember what you said?
[10:57] Mayu
Huh?
[10:58] Mayu
I want to make myself happy.
[11:02] Kaya
What did that mean?
[11:06] Mayu
There's something I've always thought.
[11:10] Mayu
There are three different
ways to make someone happy.
[11:14] Kaya
What?
[11:15] Mayu
Yeah...
[11:17] Mayu
First,
[11:18] Mayu
there are those who can make lots
of people around the world happy.
[11:21] Mayu
Then there are people who can make
the people around them happy.
[11:25] Mayu
Finally,
[11:28] Mayu
there are those who can
make themselves happy.
[11:31] Mayu
I haven't made the people of the
world or the ones around me happy,
[11:37] Mayu
so I, at least, want to make myself happy.
[11:43] Kaya
I want to make myself happy, too.
[11:47] Kaya
For those who couldn't do it themselves.
[11:50] Kaya
So, did you do it?
[11:55] Kaya
Does that have something to do
with the reason you quit I-1?
[12:01] Kaya
Everyone's worried about you.
[12:07] Mayu
It's a long story.
[12:10] Kaya
Okay.
SIGN 4 Years Ago
[12:16] Mayu
I joined I-1 when I was 12.
[12:20] Mayu
For two years after that,
I worked desperately hard.
[12:25] Shiraki
You are the first generation of the I-1 Club.
[12:29] Shiraki
You are the elite who were accepted
out of ten thousand applicants.
[12:34] Shiraki
Don't forget. Starting today,
[12:36] Shiraki
you are an idol first and
a human being second.
[12:40] Shiraki
Make sure you understand that.
[12:43] All
Yes, sir!
[12:56] Mayu
Crazy About You
[12:56] Mayu
At first, it was fun.
[12:59] Mayu
Everything I saw and heard was so new.
[13:03] Mayu
I made new discoveries every day.
[13:06] Mayu
But eventually...
[13:10] Mayu
I felt restricted by the harsh rules.
[13:12] Mayu
It became harder and harder to breathe.
[13:14] Mayu
I felt restricted and constrained.
[13:19] Mayu
But because becoming an idol was
my dream, I kept working hard.
[13:25] Shiraki
Starting tomorrow, the following
individuals do not need to come.
[13:28] Shiraki
Number 16.
[13:33] MAI
I heard some pictures she took
with a male friend got out.
[13:38] Shiraki
Number 23.
[13:40] Shiraki
Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come.
[13:44] Shiraki
Number 37.
[13:46] Shiraki
Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come.
[13:52] Shiraki
Number 5, starting tomorrow,
you don't need to come.
[13:58] Mayu
Serika?
[14:01] Serika
I don't want to quit!
[14:03] Shiraki
What?
[14:04] Serika
I don't want to quit!
[14:06] Shiraki
Why did you break the rules, then?
[14:09] Shiraki
I'm always telling you romantic
relationships are forbidden.
[14:12] Serika
Why can't we love?
[14:14] Serika
I've never neglected
my work because of love!
[14:19] Serika
I'm practicing my singing and dancing!
[14:22] Shiraki
That doesn't matter.
[14:34] Mayu
Um... We worked hard together to get here.
[14:39] Mayu
I think it was wrong of Serika
to break the rules, but please.
[14:43] Mayu
Please don't make her quit!
[14:45] Shiraki
Number 3...
[14:46] Shiraki
Your name is Shimada-kun, isn't it?
[14:49] Shiraki
You don't understand at all.
[14:51] Mayu
What?
[14:52] Shiraki
You're only allowed to love your fans.
[14:56] Shiraki
If you show even a hint
of love with someone else,
[14:58] Shiraki
in that moment, you stop being an idol.
[15:01] Shiraki
In other words,
you're a piece of subhuman trash.
[15:06] Shiraki
Such an existence is not necessary in I-1.
[15:11] Mayu
Don't talk about Serika like that!
[15:20] Shiraki
I am very familiar
with how good you are.
[15:23] Shiraki
That's why I chose you to be I-1's center.
[15:27] Shiraki
Fortunately, all the singles
we've produced since you became
[15:31] Shiraki
the center have reached
the top of weekly charts.
[15:34] Shiraki
Are you sure you don't mistakenly
believe you did that all yourself?
[15:40] Shiraki
Learn your place.
[15:43] Shiraki
We will be releasing two
singles simultaneously next.
[15:47] Shiraki
You will be the center of one.
[15:49] Shiraki
Number 2 will be the
center of the other.
[15:52] Mayu
Shihocchi?
[15:54] Shiraki
If your sales are better,
I will overlook this.
[15:58] Shiraki
However, if number 2's sales
are better, you will be fired.
[16:02] Mayu
You can't...
[16:03] Shiraki
Shouldn't you be prepared
for such consequences
[16:07] Shiraki
when you complain to your employer?
[16:12] Mayu
I understand.
[16:15] Shiraki
I'm always telling you girls.
[16:17] Shiraki
You're an idol first and
a human being second.
[16:21] Mayu
No...
[16:22] Mayu
We are people first.

We will be releasing two

In the end, because of my work
in the entertainment industry,
[17:37] Mayu
my parents got divorced.
[17:39] Mayu
I was fired from I-1.
[17:42] Mayu
I returned to my mother's home in Sendai.
[17:45] Mayu
I've been running, too.
[17:50] Mayu
But I can't give up singing and dancing.
[17:54] Mayu
That's why I wanted to give it another try.
[17:58] Kaya
I see.
[18:00] Mayu
I'd be lying if I said I didn't
hold a grudge against I-1.
[18:03] Mayu
I've been traumatized by
the entertainment industry, too.
[18:06] Mayu
But since meeting
President Tange, Matsuda-san,
[18:10] Mayu
and everyone in Wake Up, Girls!...
[18:14] Mayu
I want to overcome that.
[18:16] Mayu
No, I believe I can overcome that.
[18:21] Mayu
After all, I've learned a lot of things
[18:25] Mayu
I didn't know when I was in I-1.

I hope you'll support us!

I felt like I was going nowhere.
[18:54] Kaya
I see how it is now.
[18:55] Mayu
I finally believe I'm here
to make myself happy.
[19:04] Kaya
You should tell everyone that.

What?
[19:15] Mayu

[19:18] Mayu
I'm sorry for not telling you.

have been a nuisance.

I'm really sorry.
[19:27] Yoshino
It's okay. I'm sorry.
[19:30] Yoshino
I said too much.

but I'm doing my best, too.

Huh? The Hikarizuka

[20:26] Miyu
Does this mean you're not applying?
[20:29] Nanami
Not this time.

In any case, I'm going to

I made my decision.
[20:37] Minami
You're on fire, Nanami.
[20:39] Nanami
Now that that's decided, Ai-chan,
you'll have to train hard.
[20:42] Airi
Who? Me?
[20:43] Nanami
Your dancing.
[20:44] Nanami
Honestly speaking,
[20:45] Nanami
what you showed me the other
day was completely wrong.
[20:47] Airi
What?!
[20:54] Minami
You shouldn't litter.
[20:56] Airi
Nanami, why did you
have to scatter the pieces?

They're a group of people

Are they entertainers?
[02:01] Kaya
They're so unique.
[02:03] Airi
They've got an incredible
aura in more than one way...
[02:07] Nanami
But don't they seem more
like comedians than idols?

[02:23] Tange
These comedic groups
are the real danger.
[02:26] Matsuda
What?
[02:27] Tange
Plenty of idol groups are
good at singing and dancing.
[02:31] Tange
The groups that make
[02:33] Tange
the strongest impact
in the judges' eyes control the game.

The Idol Festival symbolizes
this age of warring idols.
[10:03] Ota
This event, planned
and produced by head
[10:06] Ota
of the I-1 Club,
Shiraki Tooru, has begun.
[10:11] Ota
The favorite of the highly contested
Tohoku Block is Crescent Moon.
[10:16] Ota
Gathering sudden attention
with the addition of former
[10:19] Ota
I-1 member, Shimada Mayu,
[10:20] Ota
the one-year-old Wake Up, Girls!
is also a formidable contender.
[10:25] Ota
At first, only former I-1 member
Mayu received attention,
[10:29] Ota
but through local
broadcasts and concerts,
[10:32] Ota
the hard work of the other members
has captured the attention of fans,

and support the girls
on the day of the event?

but also declare our presence
to idol fans across the nation!

Hayasaka-sensei gave us another tough song.
[05:32] Instructor
I wonder if you'll be all right.
[05:33] Yoshino
We'll make it all right.
[05:37] Mayu
It's even harder than I thought.
[05:40] Yoshino
And it uses so much stamina.
[05:43] Yoshino
If we're this beat just from dancing,
[05:46] Yoshino
we'll be in trouble when we add singing.
[05:48] Mayu
We need to be stronger.
[05:50] Yoshino
We need more endurance.
[05:52] Yoshino
If we can't sing while running for
four or five minutes, we won't last.

[06:45] Moeka
She doesn't need to be so angry.
[06:48] Reina
There must be a lot of
pressure on the center.
[06:51] Reina
She's got a lot riding on her shoulders.
[06:52] Tina
You say that, but you want her position.
[06:54] Reina
Don't say that.

You can't, because I'm going
to be the next center.
[07:01] Moeka
I won't let anyone else have it!

Okay, okay.
[07:06] MAI
Wake Up, Girls! made it through
the preliminaries, right?
[07:09] Megumi
Yeah. I texted Mayushi,
[07:12] Megumi
and she said she'll do her best at the finals.
[07:13] Shiho
If she didn't, we couldn't crush her.
[07:16] Megumi
Crush her? You don't
have to put it like that.
[07:19] Shiho
It won't be much of a contest
if they don't try to crush us, too.
[07:24] Megumi
But we're not competing directly.
[07:28] Shiho
If we're standing on the same stage,
we'll be compared.
[07:33] Shiho
People will judge which of us did better.
[07:36] MAI
You have a point.
[07:38] Nanoka
Besides, have you heard about the new song?
[07:40] Megumi
What?
[07:42] Nanoka
Hayasaka-san originally wrote
that for Wake Up, Girls!.
[07:47] Nanoka
They sang it at the regional preliminaries.
[07:49] Megumi
Which means people who heard it
will be forced to compare us to them.
[07:54] Shiho
That's right.
[07:56] Megumi
Let's try to be friends.
[07:58] Megumi
There's no reason for us to fight.
[08:00] Shiho
You're so naïve, Megu.
[08:02] Megumi
Don't you think you're
worrying about it too much?
[08:04] Nanoka
Who cares about that?
[08:06] Nanoka
Anyway, did Hayasaka-san
take their song away from them?
[08:09] Nanoka
That'd be so sad for them.
[08:12] Shiho
Isn't it the other way around?
[08:13] Nanoka
What?
[08:13] Shiho
They don't need it anymore.

I'm sure they'll bring something
even more amazing to the finals.

there's no such thing as a perfect score.

Here we go!
[02:56] WUG
We can do it!
[02:57] All
Wake Up, Girls!!
[03:00] Man
We're going to start the music.
[03:03] Airi
Yoppi, you're standing
in the wrong place.
[03:05] Yoshino
Sorry.
[03:12] SONG
Here we go
[03:13] SONG
We can do it
[03:13] SONG
Wake Up, Girls!
[03:15] SONG
Leave it up to us, everyone
[03:20] SONG
We'll eat up your problems,
no matter how heavy
[03:21] I-1 Club
What's wrong with that center?
[03:22] I-1 Club
She's off-tempo.
[03:26] Yoshino
Thank you!
[03:28] All
Thank you!
[03:32] Mayu
Yoppi, is something wrong?
[03:34] Yoshino
What?
[03:35] Kaya
Something's wrong with your leg.
[03:37] Mayu
Did you hurt yourself
when you tripped earlier?
[03:42] Miyu
Huh? What?
[03:43] Miyu
What's going on?
[03:48] Matsuda
This is...
[03:49] Yoshino
I'm fine. It's not a problem.
[03:51] Minami
But it looks really painful.
[03:54] Airi
Yoppi, maybe you shouldn't strain yourself.
[03:57] Miyu
It'll get worse.
[04:00] Yoshino
I just need to last five minutes.
[04:02] Yoshino
If I can handle that, I can still perform.
[04:05] Matsuda
That's impossible.
[04:06] Yoshino
No! I refuse!
[04:10] Yoshino
Then...
[04:11] Yoshino
Then perform without me!
[04:14] Miyu
What?
[04:15] Yoshino
Perform without me! Please!
[04:17] Matsuda
But without the center...
[04:20] Matsuda
We can't train a substitute now.
[04:22] Matsuda
President.
[04:25] Yoshino
I'm sorry.
[04:27] Yoshino
I'm sorry.
[04:37] Mayu
Let's withdraw.
[04:38] WUG
What?
[04:39] Yoshino
You can't withdraw.
[04:41] Yoshino
You have to perform.
[04:43] Yoshino
Please, perform.
[04:45] Mayu
No, let's withdraw.
[04:49] Mayu
We may be able to perform without you.
[04:53] Mayu
But a performance without
you isn't good enough.
[04:56] Yoshino
What?
[04:57] Mayu
After all, I can't accept it.
[05:02] Yoshino
Mayushi.
[05:02] Kaya
I think it's meaningless
without you, too.
[05:07] Miyu
The seven of us are Wake Up, Girls!.
[05:10] Airi
That's right.
[05:11] Minami
Yeah.
[05:13] Yoshino
But...
[05:15] Yoshino
I'm so sorry, everyone.
SIGN Tohoku Block Representatives
[05:25] Matsuda
What should we do, President?
[05:28] Tange
Well...
[05:35] Shiho
Playing at friendship again?
[05:38] Shiho
You haven't changed at all, Mayu.
[05:43] Kaya
Were you eavesdropping?
[05:44] Kaya
What poor taste.
[05:46] Mayu
Shiho, sorry. Today we're...
[05:49] Shiho
I won't let you quit.
[05:53] Mayu
What?
[06:00] Nurse
There.
[06:04] Nurse
The bandages will only last
you a few more hours today.
[06:10] Nurse
Once your performance is over,
make sure you go to the hospital.
[06:13] Yoshino
I will. Thank you.
[06:18] Mayu
Shiho.
[06:21] Mayu
Thanks.
[06:24] Shiho
Whatever.
[06:29] Kaya
She's actually pretty nice.
[06:31] Miyu
Hold on. We shouldn't
let our guard down.
[06:34] Miyu
Yoppi, did they put thumbtacks
under your bandages?
[06:38] Nanami
If that were the case,
she'd need surgery.
[06:41] Airi
Think you'll be okay?
[06:42] Yoshino
Yeah. I feel a lot better.
[06:44] Airi
That's great.
[06:48] Tange
Just to be sure,
let's change our formation.
[06:51] Tange
Can you do it, girls?
[06:53] Nanami
We should reduce any further risks.
[06:55] Nanami
We should change
the jump during the last hook.
[06:59] Mayu
Yeah.
[07:00] Yoshino
I'm sorry.
[07:01] Kaya
Leave it to us.
[07:04] Miyu
Don't be so rough with it.
[07:06] Miyu
It'd be bad luck if it broke.
[07:08] Airi
What? Didn't you say it'd be good
if it broke like a good luck bracelet?
[07:12] Miyu
It'd be more like the bad luck you get
[07:14] Miyu
when the straps on your clogs break.
[07:19] Minami
Leader.
[07:21] Minami
Cheer up, leader.
[07:27] Yoshino
Okay.
[07:32] Nanami
I'll do this instead of Yoppi here.
[07:36] Minami
Next, I'll come in and do this, right?
[07:41] Mayu
Yeah.
[07:44] Nanami
Make sure it looks like
this is how it always was.
[07:48] Minami
Okay.
[07:49] Mayu
How are you feeling, Yoppi?
[07:51] Yoshino
Okay.
[07:59] Mayu
Are you okay?
[08:00] Yoshino
Yeah.
[08:10] Matsuda
The seven of them together
make Wake Up, Girls!, huh?
[08:15] Tange
That's right. No one can
replace any of them.
[08:21] Tange
Wake Up, Girls! doesn't exist
without all seven of them.
[08:30] Matsuda
Yes, ma'am.
[08:38] Mayu
What do you think?
[08:39] Nanami
We'll be okay. I think it's coming together.
[08:42] Kaya
Yeah.
[08:43] Mayu
Let's go, then.
[08:46] All
Yeah.
[09:04] Announcer
The performance will
begin in five minutes.
[09:07] Announcer
Please return to your seats.
[09:12] Matsuda
Are you ready?
[09:13] All
Yes.
[09:17] Tange
It's starting.
[09:30] Shiraki
Thank you for coming.
[09:33] Shiraki
I am I-1's general manager, Shiraki.
[09:39] Shiraki
The finals of the Idol Festival are finally here.
[09:44] Shiraki
Today, in this I-1 Arena,
in order to be officially recognized as
[09:50] Shiraki
I-1's rivals, the six groups
from across the nation that made it
[09:53] Shiraki
through grueling preliminaries will compete.
[09:56] Shiraki
What is entertainment?
[10:00] Shiraki
What does it mean to be an idol?
[10:03] Shiraki
There is only one answer in my heart.
[10:06] Shiraki
The story begins on September 11, 2001,
[10:09] Shiraki
the day of the tragedy
that occurred in New York.
[10:14] Shiraki
The opening of a new musical
[10:16] Shiraki
on Broadway had been
planned for that day.
[10:21] Shiraki
However, immediately
following the incident,
[10:23] Shiraki
a mood of self-restraint
had spread throughout New York,
[10:26] Shiraki
and the opening was postponed.
[10:30] Shiraki
But in response to the hurt
citizens of New York,
[10:33] Shiraki
the producer of the show felt now was
[10:36] Shiraki
the time for entertainment and
raised the curtains as soon as possible.
[10:43] I-1 Club
What is he talking about?
[10:44] I-1 Club
9/11.
[10:45] ---
Shhh...
[10:47] Shiraki
I believe this is the essence
of entertainment,
[10:51] Shiraki
and I believe idols are a part of that.
[10:57] Shiraki
All the idols performing today
[11:00] Shiraki
are at the edges of this entertainment.
[11:04] Shiraki
Aiming for the top,
they will compete here.
[11:09] Shiraki
Please show your support for all
the idols appearing here today.
[11:16] Shiraki
The finals of the Idol Festival will now begin.
[11:27] Ota

Are you okay, Yoppi?
[12:02] Airi
If it hurts, don't force yourself to perform.
[12:04] Nanami
We'll cover you.
[12:05] Miyu
Yoppi!
[12:07] Kaya
Why are you crying now?
[12:10] Mayu
Yoppi.
[12:12] Yoshino
It's been a year since then.
[12:14] Mayu
What?
[12:16] Yoshino
Since our debut concert in Kotodai Park.
[12:21] Yoshino
I never imagined then
that we'd be standing here now.
[12:25] Mayu
But we really are here.
[12:28] Yoshino
Yeah.
[12:30] Kaya
Let's give it our best.

[16:53] I-1 Club
The audience is fired up.
[16:54] I-1 Club
This is amazing.
[16:56] I-1 Club
You were right, Shihocchi.
[16:57] I-1 Club
It must be because
Hayasaka's song is so good.
[17:00] Megumi
It's not that.
[17:00] Megumi
The song has nothing to do with it.
[17:02] Megumi
The hard work of the members
is coming through.
[17:04] I-1 Club
Let's get ready.
[17:06] I-1 Club
We'd better do our best, too.

[18:07] JUDGE A
Who should we choose?
[18:08] JUDGE B
It's a difficult choice.
[18:11] Hayasaka
Shiraki-san.
[18:14] Hayasaka
I wonder if the guerrilla
concerts you used to put on
[18:17] Hayasaka
at Azuma Bridge smelled like this.
[18:20] Hayasaka
Not that I ever saw one.
[18:36] Announcer
Thank you for waiting, everyone!
[18:38] Announcer
Before the results, we have
a special guest appearance!
[18:41] Announcer
I-1 Club!
[18:51] Tange
Yoshino, are you okay?
[18:52] Yoshino
Yes.
[19:05] Matsuda
Good job.
[19:13] Shiho
Good evening, everyone!
[19:15] All
We're the I-1 Club!
[19:19] Shiho
Are you enjoying the 2014 Idol Festival?
[19:26] Mayu
I believe there are three ways
to make people happy.
[19:34] Mayu
There are those who make many
people happy throughout the world.
[19:37] Shiho
This is "First-Rate Smile!"
[19:42] Mayu
Those who make those
around themselves happy.
[19:50] Miyu
That's where you used
to be standing, Mayushi.
[19:55] Mayu
No. I belong with Wake Up, Girls!.
[20:00] Miyu
Yeah.
[20:03] Mayu
And those who make themselves happy.
[20:07] Announcer
It's time to announce the results.
[20:09] Announcer
The winner of the 2014
Idol Festival is...
[20:17] Announcer
From Chubu, the Akamiso All Stars!
[20:23] Shiraki
They won.
[20:27] Announcer
Let's have another
round of applause for all
[20:30] Announcer
the idols who participated today!
[20:34] Mayu
There's one other thing
I learned about happiness.
[20:38] Mayu
It's that you can't make anyone
happy if you're not happy yourself.
[20:46] Mayu
That's why I think I might be
able to make someone happy now.

Shouldn't you answer the phone?
[20:58] Tange
You answer it.

Just tell them you can't sign it

It's not them.

Why are they calling us?
