* I believe there are three*
* ways to make people happy.*
**[00:14] Mayu**
*Some make many people in the world happy.*
**[00:18] Mayu**
* Others make the people*

***SIGN*** Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture
**[01:10] Miyu**
There's finally three of us.
**[01:13] Kaya**
I can't believe this is happening.
**[01:16] Minami**
From now on, the three of us
will be delicious together!
**[01:19] Kaya**
Don't you mean "working together," Minyami?
**[01:23] Matsuda**
Hey!
**[01:25] Matsuda**
Don't dub videos with your own dialogue!
**[01:27] Kaya**
Matsuda-san, don't scare us like that.
**[01:31] Matsuda**
Don't mess around during work hours.
**[01:34] Miyu**
We're not messing around.
***SIGN*** #21 WUG Show!
**[01:36] Miyu**
Researching our WUGners is part of our job.
**[01:40] Matsuda**
Is that a fan dance video?
**[01:42] Kaya**
Yeah.
**[01:44] Kaya**
This girl's really good.
**[01:47] Matsuda**
Huh. Are they middle school students?
**[01:49] Minami**
Matsuda-san.
**[01:50] Minami**
I'm hungry.
**[01:53] Matsuda**
Hey!
**[01:53] Matsuda**
Calm down, Minami!
**[01:57] Ayano**
In the next corner, those characters you
know and love will be making an appearance.
**[02:02] Director**
Cut!
**[02:04] Director**
Stand by, everyone!
**[02:06] Minami**
I'm starving.
**[02:08] Matsuda**
You're going on, too.
**[02:10] Matsuda**
Get ready.
**[02:11] All**
Okay.
**[02:15] Director**
We're going on the air.
**[02:16] Director**
Ready...
**[02:19] Ayano**
Hey, guys.
**[02:21] All**
Hello, every-WUG!
**[02:25] Ayano**
We are...

Thank you for today.
**[04:03] All**
Thank you! Good work, everyone!
**[04:07] Mayu**
*At the 2015 Idol Festival,*
**[04:10] Mayu**
* we beat the national idol group*
* I-1 Club to take first place.*
**[04:16] Mayu**
*In one fell swoop, we became top idols.*
**[04:19] Mayu**
* ...Is what I'd like to say, but the*
* reality was things weren't so easy.*
**[04:23] Mayu**
* At last year's Idol Festival, I-1 Club*
* lived up to their reputation and won.*
**[04:29] Mayu**
*And we...*
**[04:33] Minami**
This is heavy.
**[04:34] Minami**
I'm hungry.
**[04:36] Ayano**
Carrying a whole costume by yourself is hard.
**[04:41] Airi**
I think I smell.
**[04:43] Airi**
What do you think?
**[04:45] Mayu**
It's okay. We all do.
**[04:47] Miyu**
It's hard being a costume idol.
***SIGN*** Idol Festival 2015
**[04:51] Nanami**
The Idol Festival feels like ages ago.
**[04:55] Matsuda**
Sorry you still have to do this kind of thing.
***SIGN*** Champions
**[04:58] Kaya**
It's only a local program,
but our name's in the show name.
**[05:02] Kaya**
That's great.
**[05:03] Producer**
Sorry it's only local.
**[05:05] Matsuda**
Huh?
**[05:07] Matsuda**
Mr. Producer, good evening.
**[05:09] Producer**
In this day and age, not even
idols can get the numbers.
**[05:13] Producer**
The budget's tight.
**[05:15] Matsuda**
Of course.
**[05:16] Matsuda**
We're just grateful you're
even producing our show.
**[05:20] Producer**
Between you and me,
even the I-1 Club is in trouble.
**[05:24] Producer**
Apparently, they'll be shutting
down their Sendai theater soon.
**[05:26] All**
What?
***SIGN*** Theater Closes!!
**[05:29] Matsuda**
We're back.
**[05:31] Tange**
Welcome back.
**[05:33] Tange**
I'm sick of hearing about
the bad economy from everyone.
**[05:37] Mayu**
They're closing the theater?
**[05:39] Mayu**
Even the one in Hakata?
***SIGN*** Green Leaves
**[05:41] Tange**
Hakata's staying open for now.
**[05:43] Mayu**
I see.
**[05:44] Ayano**
Shihocchi? The girl from Next Storm?
**[05:47] Mayu**
Yeah, she's working in Hakata.
**[05:51] Tange**
Next Storm, huh?
**[05:53] Tange**
They're another local idol group,
but they're better known than we are.
**[05:58] Tange**
They're still I-1.
**[06:01] Matsuda**
But we beat I-1 once.
**[06:04] Tange**
Naive!
**[06:05] Tange**
The world has only just realized
that Wake Up, Girls! exists.
**[06:11] Matsuda**
But, ma'am, look at this.
**[06:15] Tange**
What is this?
**[06:16] Matsuda**
A fan video.
**[06:18] Matsuda**
These are a barometer of popularity.
**[06:20] Tange**
Are these girls from Sendai?
**[06:23] Matsuda**
Yes.
**[06:24] Tange**
You idiot!
**[06:25] Tange**
What are we going through right now?
**[06:27] Tange**
Say it!
***SIGN*** First WUG! Album On Sale In Six Months!!
**[06:29] Matsuda**
W-We're releasing our
first album in six months?
**[06:32] Tange**
Why is that a question, idiot?
**[06:34] Tange**
So, what do we need to do to sell records?
**[06:37] Matsuda**
P-Promote it.
**[06:39] Tange**
If you know the answer, then get off
your butt and find some media work!
**[06:42] Tange**
These girls are barely known
in living rooms across the country!
**[06:48] Ayano**
You always speak your mind, President.
**[06:51] Nanami**
But it's true.
**[06:53] Mayu**
She's right. I'm sure most people
don't know our individual full names.
**[06:59] Tange**
Well, it wasn't easy for Date Masamune
**[07:02] Tange**
to go from ruling Oshu
to ruling the nation, either.
**[07:05] Tange**
We're just getting started.
**[07:18] Otome**
Hey, Hayamaru. Did you
see yesterday's WUG Show?
**[07:21] Ayumi**
I saw it, Mocchi. WUG is so cute.
**[07:26] Otome**
Acchan, what's wrong?
**[07:28] Ayumi**
Well, I-1 is...
**[07:32] Itsuka**
Their Sendai theater closed.
**[07:35] Itsuka**
It's over.
**[07:36] Ayumi**
Calm down, Acchan.
**[07:38] Otome**
Yeah. We still have WUG.
**[07:41] Itsuka**
But I wanted to dance for I-1.
**[07:46] Otome**
Oh, right. That dancing video we uploaded
the other day got a bunch more views.
**[07:52] Ayumi**
Stop talking about that. It's embarrassing.
**[07:55] Otome**
Why? Hayamaru, you're a good dancer.
**[07:59] Itsuka**
You're way better than Mocchi.
**[08:01] Otome**
Yeah, I know I'm terrible.

Thanks for watching
**[08:04] Ayumi**
But my face is red.
**[08:07] Otome**
Do you have stage fright?
**[08:10] Otome**
You just have to get used to it.
**[08:12] Otome**
Keep it up, and you will.
**[08:14] Otome**
So let's do it again.
**[08:16] Ayumi**
What? We're doing more?
**[08:20] Tange**
Girls, we got our first big job in a while!
**[08:23] Tange**
You'll be performing on
the national program, *Song Stage*!
**[08:30] Nanami**
Song...
**[08:31] Miyu**
*Song Stage*?
**[08:33] Miyu**
That's amazing!
**[08:36] Ayano**
I-1's appearing, too.
**[08:38] Miyu**
I'm so excited we'll be performing together.
**[08:42] Tange**
We need to get ready.
***SIGN*** 1-A Meeting Room
**[08:53] Airi**
Minyami, you have a torn seam here.
**[08:55] Minami**
Huh? I had no idea.
**[08:57] Miyu**
Kayatan, is something wrong?
**[08:59] Kaya**
It feels a little tight.
**[09:02] Miyu**
Huh? Does that mean you gained—
**[09:04] Kaya**
Don't say another word, Miyu.
**[09:09] Ayano**
Ma'am, I think these outfits
have passed their expiration date.
**[09:13] Tange**
Really? We can buy new ones, then.
**[09:16] Matsuda**
But the budget...
**[09:18] Tange**
You idiot! What would an idol spend
money on if not her costumes?
**[09:22] Tange**
We have to give this music
show everything we've got.
**[09:25] Matsuda**
Ow! Oh, come on!
**[09:28] Matsuda**
Fine! You want me to get new ones, right?
**[09:32] All**
All right!
**[09:35] Matsuda**
Sheesh. The president doesn't understand
how hard it is to be out working.
**[09:40] Ayano**
Matsuda-san, do you have a minute?
**[09:45] Otome**
WUG! is going to be
on next week's *Song Stage*.
**[09:48] Ayumi**
Really? I'm so excited.
**[09:51] Itsuka**
Huh. They haven't been
on a music show in a while.
**[09:54] Otome**
I-1's going to be there, too.
**[09:56] Ayumi**
Really? I wonder what they're going to sing.
***SIGN*** WUG Show!
***SIGN*** Local Gourmet Your cheeks will melt!
**[10:10] Matsuda**
Okay, everyone's—
**[10:11] Ayano**
Wait. There's only six of us.
**[10:14] Matsuda**
What? Who's missing?
**[10:17] Miyu**
Sorry!
**[10:19] Miyu**
I accidentally set my alarm an hour late.
**[10:24] Matsuda**
Get it together.
**[10:28] Miyu**
I'm really sorry.
**[10:30] Kaya**
Now, now. I'm glad you made it in time.
**[10:32] Matsuda**
Okay, now everyone's—
**[10:34] Mayu**
Not yet.
**[10:35] Matsuda**
What? But one, two, three...
**[10:38] Matsuda**
There's seven of you here.
**[10:40] Nanami**
The president's not here yet.
**[10:41] Matsuda**
What?
**[10:42] Tange**
What? You still haven't boarded?
**[10:46] Tange**
Quit wasting time, and get a move on.
**[10:49] Matsuda**
Oh, come on.
**[10:59] Nanami**
It's delicious.
**[11:01] Kaya**
You're already eating?
**[11:03] Airi**
Hey, Mayushi. Look at this.
**[11:05] Mayu**
Huh.
**[11:05] Ayano**
They're so good.
**[11:09] Ayano**
Oh, right. These are for everyone.
**[11:12] Ayano**
Here.
**[11:16] Mayu**
Huh? Is this...
**[11:19] Ayano**
I made new ones.
**[11:21] Ayano**
The old ones were getting worn out, right?
**[11:25] Airi**
Thanks, Yoppi.
**[11:26] Minami**
Yoppi, they're so cute.
**[11:29] Nanami**
Thanks. I love new things.
**[11:31] Kaya**
Huh? Is this cloth...
**[11:34] Ayano**
Yeah. I made them from those costumes.
**[11:38] Miyu**
Yoppi, you're amazing.
**[11:40] Miyu**
No wonder you're our leader.
**[11:42] Ayano**
It was nothing special.
**[11:45] Kaya**
This is nice, isn't it?
**[11:47] Kaya**
It's better than just throwing them away.
**[11:48] Airi**
Yeah. Those costumes were
a part of the group forever.
**[11:53] Mayu**
Thanks, Yoppi.
**[11:54] Minami**
All right! Let's wear these on *
Song Stage*, and do our best!
**[12:01] All**
Yeah!
**[12:07] All**
Good morning!
**[12:11] Minami**
Why are we saying "good
morning" when it's nighttime?
**[12:15] Ayano**
You're asking now?
**[12:16] Miyu**
Why not? It makes me
feel like a professional.
**[12:30] AD**
Thank you!
**[12:31] All**
Thank you!
**[12:34] AD**
I-1 Club, you're on.
**[12:48] Kaya**
I don't think their center likes us.
**[12:52] Ayano**
It's probably hard to stay the center
without being so competitive.
**[12:56] Mayu**
She's probably not actually a bad person.
**[13:02] Airi**
Here. The AC in here's too cold, isn't it?
**[13:05] Nanami**
Ai-chan, thanks.
**[13:08] Airi**
Minyami, are you okay?
**[13:10] Airi**
Here's a cough drop.
**[13:11] Minami**
Thanks, Ai-chan.
**[13:14] Miyu**
I spilled my tea.
**[13:16] Miyu**
I'm sorry.
**[13:17] Airi**
It's okay.
**[13:19] Miyu**
Thank you.
**[13:21] Miyu**
Ai-chan, you're like a mom.
**[13:24] Airi**
What? Y-You think so?
**[13:28] Mayu**
Airi, you need to do your makeup.
**[13:30] Airi**
Oh, right.
**[13:36] AD**
Wake Up, Girls! You're on.
**[13:38] All**
Okay!
**[13:40] Airi**
O-Okay.
**[13:47] Ayano**
Oh, right. Should we do that?
**[13:49] All**
Yeah!
**[13:50] Ayano**
Okay, here we go. Huh?
**[13:53] Minami**
Ai-chan, where's your scrunchy?
**[13:55] Airi**
Huh?
**[13:55] Airi**
What? No way.
**[13:57] Airi**
Huh? Why?
**[14:01] Mayu**
Airi?
**[14:02] Airi**
I'm going to go get it.
**[14:03] Ayano**
Airi, wait.
**[14:09] Airi**
Why do I always act like this
during important moments?
**[14:17] Airi**
Found it.
**[14:27] Ayano**
Airi's still not here?
**[14:29] Minami**
She's not coming.
**[14:31] Kaya**
What should we do?
We could go on without her.
**[14:33] Miyu**
We can't do that.
**[14:34] Miyu**
We can't go on as six.
**[14:36] Nanami**
Don't we have to?
**[14:39] Mayu**
Excuse me, but could we wait a little longer?
**[14:42] Moka**
What are you talking about?
**[14:44] Airi**
Sorry I'm late.
**[14:47] Mayu**
Airi.
**[14:47] Minami**
Ai-chan.
**[14:49] AD**
Just go onstage.
**[14:52] All**
Okay.
**[15:02] AD**
I-1 Club, you're on.
**[15:20] Announcer**
Next up is Wake Up, Girls!
**[15:24] Ayano**
Hello, every-WUG.
**[15:27] Ayano**
We are...
**[15:28] All**
Wake Up, Girls!
**[15:30] All**
Thanks for having us!
**[15:33] Hamori**
You took your time coming onstage.
**[15:36] Hamori**
Did something happen?
**[15:37] Ayano**
Oh, uh...
**[15:39] Mayu**
Actually...
**[15:40] Airi**
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
**[15:42] Airi**
I forgot something.
**[15:44] Hamori**
Forgot something?
**[15:45] Hamori**
Was it that important?
**[15:47] Airi**
Well, uh...
**[15:49] Mayu**
It was this.
**[15:52] Announcer**
A scrunchy?
**[15:53] Minami**
We're all matching.
**[15:55] Miyu**
Our leader made them for us.
**[16:00] Ayano**
I made them out of our old costumes.
**[16:03] Hamori**
Really?
**[16:04] Announcer**
You seem like great friends.
**[16:06] All**
Yeah!
**[16:07] Announcer**
Please go to the stage and get ready.
**[16:13] Announcer**
Wearing their matching scrunchies,
**[16:17] Announcer**
Wake Up, Girls! will be
performing "7 Girls War."
**[18:35] Announcer**
Thank you.
**[18:37] Announcer**
Next up is I-1 Club.
**[18:40] MAI**
Good evening. We're I-1 Club.
**[18:50] Ayano**
Um... I'm really sorry about earlier.
**[18:56] Airi**
I'm sorry for the trouble I caused.
**[18:58] Moka**
Seriously. How long are you going
to keep acting like newbies?
**[19:02] MAI**
Moka.
**[19:03] Moka**
You're not fit to be professionals.
**[19:13] Ai**
Sorry. Don't worry about it.
**[19:22] ---**
**[19:24] Minami**
I was so worried.
**[19:26] Airi**
I'm really sorry.
**[19:29] Kaya**
It wasn't just your fault.
**[19:31] Ayano**
But I can't blame them for saying that.
**[19:34] Ayano**
As professionals, we shouldn't
be late for live performances.
**[19:38] Kaya**
I-1 is amazing that way.
**[19:42] Kaya**
They seem so professional.
**[19:44] Airi**
I'm sorry.
**[19:46] Airi**
I panicked. I thought I had to have mine.
**[19:51] Miyu**
But Ai-chan, your performance
today was great.
**[19:56] Ayano**
Airi, does that mean you felt relieved
because you had your scrunchy?
**[20:00] Airi**
Yeah. I think I would've
messed up without it.
**[20:04] Kaya**
Even sports players take jinxes seriously.
**[20:10] Mayu**
I believe being an idol means
being true to who you are.
**[20:16] Mayu**
It's not a bad thing to place importance
on the things you need to do that.
**[20:22] Mayu**
You shouldn't be late, though.
**[20:24] Nanami**
Well, that's fine, then.
**[20:26] Nanami**
It all worked out.
**[20:28] Minami**
Ai-chan, don't worry about it.
**[20:31] Airi**
Thanks, everyone.
**[20:41] Ota**
Gentlemen, the Oga Namahagez
have disbanded.
**[20:44] Asazu**
What?
**[20:46] Yazawa**
Is that true, Ota-san?
**[20:47] Ota**
It came from a reliable source.
**[20:49] Ota**
Furthermore, the Akamiso Allstars
may be in danger of disbanding, as well.
**[20:54] Jomoto**
Unbelievable!
**[20:55] Asazu**
I can't believe this is happening...
**[20:58] Ota**
The idol industry is currently in chaos.
**[21:01] Ota**
While the reigning champions,
I-1 Club, are in decline,
**[21:04] Ota**
our WUG still aren't nearly as successful.
**[21:10] Yazawa**
WUG's marketing isn't very strong
since they're an indie group.
**[21:15] Ota**
But that's all the more reason
for us WUGners to act!
**[21:20] Ota**
We must do everything we can to support WUG!
**[21:24] Ota**
Got it?
**[21:25] All**
Yeah!
**[21:28] Customer**
*Those guys again?*
**[21:32] Ota**
S-Sorry...
**[21:52] Matsuda**
What was that for?
**[21:54] Tange**
So, Matsuda.
**[21:56] Matsuda**
What?
**[21:57] Tange**
We're doing a national tour!
**[21:59] Matsuda**
Huh? What do you mean, "so?"
**[22:02] Matsuda**
So, what?
**[22:04] Tange**
I already got us the Sendai stadium.
**[22:06] Matsuda**
What?
**[23:44] Ayumi**
I'm Hayamaru, also known as Hayashi Ayumi.
**[23:46] Otome**
I'm Mocchi, also known as Morishima Otome.
**[23:48] Itsuki**
I'm Acchan, also known as Atsugi Itsuka.
**[23:50] Otome**
Let's do next episode's preview, too.
**[23:52] Ayumi**
What? Y-You're making me nervous.
**[23:53] Itsuki**
Next time: "This—"
**[23:54] Otome**
Acchan, don't say your line early!

We're moving?
**[01:51] Tange**
That's right. Miyu and Kaya,
you two live alone, right?
***SIGN*** Green Leaves
**[01:55] Tange**
Mayu, Airi, Ayano, and Minami
have graduated from high school, too.
**[01:59] Tange**
Nanami's the only one who
needs her parents' permission.
**[02:02] Ayano**
What? I'm not following.
**[02:05] Mayu**
What are you talking about?
***SIGN*** Unauthorized distribution of video or audio from this program is strictly prohibited by law.
**[02:06] Tange**
I'm saying you should
all live together in a dorm.
***SIGN*** Moving!
**[02:12] Airi**
What? All of us together?
**[02:14] Nanami**
Isn't this too sudden?
**[02:16] Manami**
But it sounds fun.
**[02:18] Tange**
It's for the future of your careers.
***SIGN*** Moving!
**[02:20] Tange**
You won't be late as often,
**[02:22] Tange**
and you have the national tour coming up.
**[02:25] Tange**
Living together will be convenient.
**[02:27] Nanami**
Huh?
**[02:28] Mayu**
What did you just say?
**[02:30] Tange**
That living together will be convenient.
**[02:32] Kaya**
Before that.
**[02:33] Ayano**
You just casually slipped
something in, didn't you?
**[02:35] Tange**
Huh? Oh, you mean the national tour?
***SIGN*** Green Leaves
**[02:38] All**
A national tour?!
**[02:42] Kaya**
Is that something you'd
mention as an afterthought?
**[02:44] Tange**
Huh? I hadn't told you yet?
**[02:46] Ayano**
No.
**[02:47] Tange**
What are you doing, Matsuda?
**[02:49] Matsuda**
What? It's my fault?
**[02:50] Tange**
By the way, your final performance
will be at the Sendai Stadium.
**[02:53] All**
What?
**[02:55] Ayano**
The Stadium? This is insane.
**[02:58] Kaya**
There's no way we can sell that many
tickets under current conditions.
**[03:02] Tange**
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
**[03:04] Tange**
I'm planning to get you more
solo work to increase your exposure.
**[03:08] Minami**
Solo?
**[03:10] Nanami**
It means working independently.
**[03:11] Tange**
Which means you won't be spending
as much time together, right?
**[03:15] Tange**
That's why you should live together.
**[03:18] Ayano**
You even considered that?
**[03:20] Tange**
That's right.
**[03:21] Tange**
I think.
**[03:23] Tange**
Feel free to look up to me.
***SIGN*** Moving!
**[03:30] Airi**
Heave ho.
**[03:36] Kaya**
My back hurt.
**[03:42] Manami**
I'm hungry.
**[03:45] Mayu**
We've made three trips
in the van since this morning.
**[03:48] Mayu**
Matsuda-san's been working hard, too.
**[03:50] Mayu**
Why don't we take a break?
**[03:54] Ayano**
Hey, let's look around inside.
**[03:56] Nanami**
Yeah.
**[03:57] Miyu**
It's old-fashioned and cute.
**[04:00] Kaya**
Cute?
**[04:02] Miyu**
Our cute home sweet home.
**[04:04] Mayu**
Should we grow vegetables?
**[04:06] Ayano**
Let's plant tomatoes.
**[04:07] Nanami**
Wouldn't fruit be better?
**[04:09] Minami**
I don't care what we grow
as long as we can eat soon.
**[04:15] Miyu**
Who is it?
**[04:17] Ayano**
Maybe it's Matsuda-san.
He could've forgotten something.
**[04:19] Ayano**
Come in. It's open.
**[04:23] Manager**
My, my. Hello there.
**[04:26] Manager**
I'm the building manager.
**[04:29] Ayano**
What? The manager?
**[04:32] Ayano**
Hello. Thank you for having us.
**[04:34] Mayu**
Nice to meet you.
**[04:36] All**
Nice to meet you.
**[04:37] Manager**
Yes, yes. Hello.
**[04:39] Manager**
You're all so cute.
**[04:43] Manager**
These are the keys.
**[04:44] Manager**
There are only two, so don't lose them.
**[04:47] Ayano**
Thank you.
**[04:49] Manager**
Oh, right. This place has a freeloader.
**[04:58] Nanami**
Hey, look.
**[04:59] Airi**
That's him, right?
**[05:01] Ayano**
Yeah, that must be the freeloader.
**[05:04] Kaya**
Hey, Minyami. Don't scare him.
**[05:15] Kaya**
You made him angry.
**[05:16] Mayu**
You're Zunda? Nice to meet you.
**[05:19] Miyu**
But why is his name Zunda?
***SIGN*** Zunda
**[05:22] Miyu**
Waffle or Macaron would be cuter food names.
**[05:28] Airi**
Maybe that's why.

The two six-mat rooms on
the second floor will be
**[05:40] Ayano**
Kayatan and Myu's and Nanamin
and Minyami's rooms, respectively.
**[05:45] Nanami**
Okay.
**[05:46] Kaya**
Got it.
**[05:47] Ayano**
We'll combine these six-mat
rooms on the first floor
**[05:50] Ayano**
into a living/bedroom for everyone.
**[05:53] Miyu**
Okay.
**[05:54] Minami**
It's so spacious.
**[05:56] Ayano**
That's how we'll assign rooms, then.
**[05:58] Ayano**
We also need to set rules
since we'll be living together.
**[06:03] Mayu**
Right, like taking out
the garbage and cleaning.
**[06:05] Airi**
Why don't we take turns?
**[06:08] Kaya**
The agency paying for our housing
will help out a lot, though.
**[06:12] Miyu**
I know. It's an old place,
but it's pretty spacious.
**[06:15] Miyu**
It's more than big enough
for the seven of us.
**[06:18] Kaya**
I'm surprised everyone's
families gave them permission.
**[06:21] Minami**
My parents were totally fine with it.
**[06:24] Ayano**
Nanamin, did you have any trouble?
**[06:26] Nanami**
My parents suggested I wait
until I graduate from high school.
**[06:30] Ayano**
Oh, really?
**[06:31] Nanami**
But I said I wanted to.
**[06:34] Minami**
Why?
**[06:36] Nanami**
Because... I'd be...
**[06:39] Kaya**
Huh? Why?
**[06:40] Nanami**
Because I'd feel sad if I were
the only one living separately!
**[06:47] Miyu**
Nanamin, you're so cute!
**[06:49] Nanami**
Myu, stop!
**[06:52] Nanami**
That tickles!
**[06:55] Tange**
Matsuda, we're holding a meeting.
**[06:57] Matsuda**
Wh-Why?
**[06:58] Matsuda**
Really?
**[07:05] Tange**
Now let's go.
***SIGN*** If you're going to watch sports or movies 4K TV
**[07:07] Matsuda**
W-Wait! I get it, so stop pulling!
**[07:10] Matsuda**
What? We're meeting here?
**[07:13] Tange**
Sometimes you come up with
better ideas while drinking.
**[07:17] Tange**
Today's topic is how to
sell out the Sendai Stadium.
**[07:22] Matsuda**
Ma'am, you said it yourself.
**[07:24] Matsuda**
We'll have the members get more
exposure by doing solo TV jobs
**[07:27] Matsuda**
to increase their visibility.
**[07:28] Tange**
You idiot. Normal methods aren't
enough for those plain potato girls
**[07:33] Tange**
to become known throughout
the country's living rooms.
**[07:35] Matsuda**
That's awfully blunt of you.
**[07:37] Tange**
Let's go for impact. For example...
**[07:41] Employee**
Thanks for waiting.
**[07:42] Tange**
We'll promote Minami as a sea squirt lover.
**[07:46] Matsuda**
What? Sea squirts?
**[07:47] Tange**
That's right. An idol who simply
does food reports is too weak.
**[07:51] Tange**
That's why we have to sell her
as someone who likes sea squirts.
**[07:53] Minami**
I'm gonna eat sea squirts.
**[07:58] Matsuda**
Sea squirts?
***SIGN*** Green Leaves
**[08:00] ---**
**[08:01] Tange**
I found solo work for you
on a national network!
**[08:05] Airi**
*The Local Presenta-show*?
**[08:07] Minami**
I know that one.
**[08:09] Minami**
That's the one where
they eat lots of tasty food.
**[08:11] Tange**
That's the one.
**[08:12] Tange**
They're giving us two guest
spots on the Sendai episode.
**[08:16] Ayano**
Two spots, huh?
**[08:17] Ayano**
Since it's a food report,
does that mean Minyami's one of them?
**[08:19] Mayu**
Nanamin, you've done
food reports before, right?
**[08:22] Nanami**
I don't mind doing it.
**[08:24] Tange**
Minami and Kaya.
**[08:26] Kaya**
Who? Me?
**[08:27] Nanami**
Why Kaya?
**[08:29] Tange**
It's obviously just a hunch.
**[08:31] Matsuda**
It's obvious, is it?
**[08:34] Mayu**
It might be a good idea, though.
**[08:35] Ayano**
She did work at Tenpari.
**[08:37] Matsuda**
That's the plan, so help out
Minami in whatever way you can.
**[08:41] Kaya**
If you're okay with me
doing it, I'll give it a shot.
**[08:45] Tange**
Okay, then let's start ordering.
**[08:48] Matsuda**
Ordering what?
***SIGN*** Sea Squirts
**[08:50] Matsuda**
That's enough of that...
**[08:57] Miyu**
Mayushi, did you finish peeling the potatoes?
**[08:59] Mayu**
Huh? Not yet.
**[09:02] Miyu**
Yikes...
**[09:04] Miyu**
I'll do the potatoes.
**[09:06] Miyu**
Mayushi, could you set the table?
**[09:09] Mayu**
Got it.
**[09:11] Minami**
Ai-chan, I'll taste it.
**[09:13] Airi**
Oh, Minyami.
**[09:16] Minami**
It's tasty, meow.
**[09:18] Ayano**
Minyami, you're an eating specialist.
**[09:20] Nanami**
The way you eat is going to be
broadcast on national TV.
**[09:23] Airi**
National TV, huh?
**[09:25] Airi**
Are you okay, Minyami? Are you nervous?
**[09:27] Minami**
A little, but Kayatan will be with me,
and I'm excited about eating good food.
**[09:32] Mayu**
What about you, Kayatan?
**[09:34] Kaya**
It'll be my first time,
so I guess I'm a little nervous.
**[09:38] Ayano**
You'll be fine.
**[09:40] Kaya**
Thanks. I'll do my best.
**[09:43] Mayu**
Airi!
**[09:46] ---**
Are you all right?
**[09:49] Both**
Good morning.
**[09:51] Kaya**
Minyami, don't wander around so much.
**[09:55] Minami**
Good morning.
**[09:57] Minami**
Good morning.
**[10:00] Minami**
Good morning.
**[10:02] Minami**
You're those funny people I've
seen on TV who eats a lot of—
**[10:07] Kaya**
E-Excuse us.
**[10:09] Matsuda**
Thank you for having us.
**[10:15] AD**
We'll be having the Wake Up, Girls!
eat this sea squirt dish.
**[10:20] Minami**
Okay.
**[10:21] Kaya**
Understood.
**[10:23] Matsuda**
It really is a sea squirt dish.
**[10:25] Matsuda**
The president's hunches
are weirdly accurate sometimes.
**[10:28] AD**
We're filming in three, two, one.
**[10:33] MC**
Hello! It's time for the *Local Presenta-show*.
**[10:37] Announcer**
Today, we're covering Sendai in the northeast.
**[10:40] Announcer**
And our guests are Wake Up, Girls!...
**[10:43] Kaya**
I'm Kikuma Kaya. Good evening, every-WUG.
**[10:47] Minami**
I'm Katayama Minami.
Good evening, every-WUG.
**[10:50] Both**
Thanks for having us.
**[10:52] MC**
Let's have the local Sendai team
eat these fresh sea squirt dishes.
**[10:57] Minami**
Thanks for the food.
**[11:01] Minami**
It's tasty, meow!
**[11:05] MC**
What's that? A local expression?
**[11:06] Kaya**
It's her catch phrase.
**[11:09] Kaya**
It means it's supremely delicious.
**[11:11] MC**
Really? So, that's it?
**[11:15] Minami**
Huh? Uh, um...
**[11:18] Minami**
It's super tasty, meow?
**[11:20] MC**
No, I mean...
**[11:22] Minami**
It's super duper tasty, meow!
**[11:24] Announcer**
Himemaro-san and Nishi-chan, have some.
**[11:27] Announcer**
There's plenty more.
**[11:31] Himemaro**
What is this?
**[11:32] Himemaro**
It's as delicious as a close
encounter of the third kind.
**[11:35] Himemaro**
It's so full of unidentified umami,
it's turning my stomach into a black hole.
**[11:42] Kaya**
A-Are you all right?
**[11:44] Nishi**
It was so delicious, I lost consciousness.
**[11:47] Nishi**
Sorry, sorry.
**[11:49] Nishi**
It just made me so hot.
**[11:52] Himemaro**
You mean it gave you chills.
**[11:57] MC**
Impressive as always,
Nishi-chan and Himemaro-kun.
**[11:59] MC**
You two should learn to be as loquacious.
**[12:01] Nishi**
If I let some idols beat me,
my stomach would be ashamed of me.
**[12:06] Nishi**
An idol's career is over
if she gets fat, right?
**[12:09] Nishi**
Want me to eat yours for you?
**[12:12] Kaya**
This isn't enough to make me fat!
**[12:16] Kaya**
Don't underestimate how many
calories an idol burns!
**[12:30] Kaya**
Thank you.
**[12:32] Minami**
Excuse us.
**[12:35] Kaya**
I can't believe I did that.
**[12:37] Matsuda**
Well, the show was lively,
so it turned out all right.
**[12:40] Matsuda**
Don't worry about it too much, Kaya.
**[12:42] Minami**
Kayatan, you were awesome.
**[12:44] Kaya**
No, that was awful.
**[12:50] Kaya**
Anyway, the other entertainers were amazing.
**[12:54] Minami**
Yeah, their spirit or
whatever was incredible.
**[12:58] Minami**
"It's tasty, meow" wasn't enough to beat them.
**[13:01] Matsuda**
Well, you're just getting started.
**[13:02] Matsuda**
Do your best.
**[13:06] Hayasaka**
For me, music isn't simply
an IV I absorb through my ear.
**[13:07] Matsuda**
I'm back. Huh?
**[13:10] Hayasaka**
The philosophy born through
listening is an illusion.
**[13:10] Matsuda**
It's Hayasaka-san.
**[13:12] Tange**
What should we do for a new song?
**[13:16] Narration**
Hayasaka Tasuku.
**[13:18] Narration**
A music producer and composer
at the pinnacle of popularity.
**[13:22] Narration**
In recent memory, his musical offerings
to national idol group I-1 Club
**[13:25] Narration**
have broken a million in sales.
**[13:29] Interviewer**
*Hayasaka-san, what are idols to you?*
**[13:33] Hayasaka**
*People aren't born idols.*
**[13:36] Interviewer**
*What?*
**[13:37] Hayasaka**
*What do you think comes next?*
**[13:40] Interviewer**
*Huh? Uh...*

**[14:05] Ayumi**
Okay.
**[14:11] Girl A**
Hey, did you watch yesterday's
*Local Presenta-show*?
**[14:13] GIRL B**
Yeah, it was the Sendai episode.
**[14:15] Girl A**
But Sendai has more to offer
than just sea squirts.
**[14:19] Girl A**
Like zunda and beef tongue.
**[14:20] Ayumi**
More importantly, did you see
WUG's Kayatan and Minyami?
**[14:24] Girl A**
G-Good morning, Hayashi-san.
**[14:26] GIRL B**
WUG? You mean the girls
eating the sea squirt dish?
**[14:28] Ayumi**
Yeah. They're Sendai idols.
**[14:31] Girl A**
Sorry, I'm not really interested.
**[14:35] GIRL B**
Don't walk and text, Adachi.
**[14:37] Boy A**
I'm not walking.
**[14:39] Boy B**
Speaking of idols, these
are more popular right now.
**[14:42] Girl A**
Huh? What is this?
**[14:44] Boy A**
V-dols.
**[14:46] GIRL B**
V-dols?
**[14:47] Boy B**
It's a virtual idol app.
**[14:50] Ayumi**
Idols? They're idols?
***SIGN*** Green Leaves
**[14:54] Matsuda**
You two got another food report job.
**[14:57] Matsuda**
The other day's episode of *Local
Presenta-show* got pretty decent ratings.
**[15:00] Kaya**
What? Seriously?
**[15:02] Minami**
All right!
**[15:03] Matsuda**
Yeah. People thought your
interactions were interesting.
**[15:03] ---**
Thank goodness!

What a relief!
**[15:05] ---**
Yeah!
**[15:06] ---**
Let's do our best!

Yeah!

**[15:16] Matsuda**
the quiz show *What Do You

**[15:32] Kaya**
We're home.
**[15:34] Airi**
Welcome back.
**[15:36] Mayu**
Good work today.
**[15:37] Minami**
I'm so full that I'm exhausted.
**[15:40] Airi**
Kayatan, are you okay?
**[15:43] Airi**
Want dinner?
**[15:44] Kaya**
Sorry, no.
**[15:45] Kaya**
We had to re-shoot so much today.
**[15:48] Kaya**
I ate too much.
**[15:49] Airi**
Want some stomach medicine?
**[15:51] Miyu**
Huh? Kayatan?
**[15:53] Miyu**
And Minyami, welcome back.
**[15:55] Miyu**
The bath's ready for you.
**[15:56] Minami**
Kayatan, you go ahead.
**[15:59] Kaya**
Thanks. Maybe I will.
**[16:03] Mayu**
Minyami, you can't sleep here.
**[16:05] Minami**
But I can't eat anymore.
**[16:32] Ayano**
Mayushi, what do you think?
**[16:34] Mayu**
Myu and Ai-chan might be a little close
in our formation before the chorus.
**[16:39] Miyu**
Oh, I might be tending that way.
**[16:43] Airi**
I'll watch out for it, too.
**[16:46] Ayano**
That should do it for today.
**[16:48] Mayu**
Yeah. It's a good time to stop.
**[16:51] Minami**
I'm hungry.
**[16:55] Minami**
Kayatan?
**[16:57] Kaya**
I'm going to practice a while longer.
**[16:59] Kaya**
I'm not confident in my
choreography during the chorus.
**[17:02] Ayano**
Really? Want some company?
**[17:04] Kaya**
It's fine. I know you're all hungry.
**[17:07] Kaya**
You can leave without me.
**[17:08] Nanami**
Okay, we're leaving.
**[17:10] Miyu**
Don't push yourself too hard.
**[17:23] Kaya**
I'm home.
**[17:24] Minami**
Kayatan, welcome back.
**[17:26] Nanami**
Welcome back.
**[17:27] Nanami**
You're eating after your bath?
**[17:29] Minami**
I got hungry.
**[17:33] Minami**
Kayatan, what about dinner?
**[17:35] Kaya**
I ate on the way.
**[17:59] Mayu**
Kayatan, did you go out?
**[18:01] Kaya**
Yeah, before Okazaki closed.
**[18:05] Kaya**
I bought dinner for Zunda.
**[18:07] Mayu**
But we still have more cat food.
**[18:10] Kaya**
R-Really? I had no idea.
**[18:14] Kaya**
Huh? What?
**[18:16] Kaya**
Mayushi?
**[18:18] Mayu**
You haven't taken a bath
yet, right? Go ahead.
**[18:21] Kaya**
Y-You're right. Thanks.
**[18:27] Minami**
Hooray! Thanks for the food.
**[18:31] Minami**
Kayatan, you're not eating?
**[18:32] Kaya**
Huh? Uh, no.
**[18:35] Minami**
Why not? We're having pork cutlets.
**[18:37] Minami**
Don't you like them?
**[18:40] Kaya**
Why not?
**[18:43] Minami**
They're really good.
**[18:47] Kaya**
I...
**[18:48] Minami**
You?
**[18:49] Kaya**
I feel bad for the pigs!
**[18:56] Ayaon**
Kayatan, are you going to Okazaki again?
**[18:58] Kaya**
Uh, yeah.
**[18:59] Ayano**
Maybe I'll go with you.
**[19:01] Ayano**
I want to get some magazines.
**[19:03] Kaya**
Oh, I'll get them for you.
**[19:05] Miyu**
You're going out by yourselves? No fair.
**[19:09] Ayano**
We're just going to Okazaki.
**[19:10] Miyu**
Then I'll go with you.
**[19:12] Miyu**
I need to get their new fried chicken.
**[19:14] Ayano**
At this hour? You'll get fat.
**[19:17] Airi**
What's going on?
**[19:19] Minami**
I'll go with you.
**[19:28] Miyu**
They have zunda fried chicken.
**[19:31] Minami**
The new Lucky Turn is out.
**[19:33] Minami**
It's beef-tongue-flavored.
**[19:34] Airi**
Maybe I'll get some ice cream.
**[19:38] Minami**
Huh? Where's Kayatan?
**[19:51] Miyu**
Kayatan, it's not fair
for you to run off by yourself.
**[19:56] Airi**
Kayatan?
**[20:04] Miyu**
You gained weight?
**[20:06] Ayano**
Three kilos?
**[20:08] Ayano**
So that's why you've been avoiding
eating with everyone else.
**[20:13] Mayu**
I knew it.
**[20:14] Airi**
Mayushi?
**[20:15] Minami**
I'm so glad!
**[20:17] Nanami**
Minyami?
**[20:18] Minami**
I thought Kayatan hated me!
**[20:21] Kaya**
What? Why?
**[20:22] Minami**
Because we've been working together lately.
**[20:26] Minami**
I thought I was annoying you.
**[20:28] Kaya**
No, no, no. That would never happen.
**[20:31] Kaya**
Sorry for making you worry.
**[20:34] Ayano**
You didn't need to hide it from us.
**[20:36] Kaya**
After what I said on that show,
it would be lame to admit I gained weight.
**[20:43] Miyu**
You mean "don't underestimate how
many calories an idol burns?"
**[20:46] Ayano**
Yeah, that was a bit much.
**[20:48] Airi**
But it's not good to eat so little.
You'll collapse.
**[20:51] Nanami**
Yeah. Dance lessons really
do burn a lot of calories.
**[20:56] Kaya**
Y-You're right.
**[20:59] Kaya**
I'm going to eat dinner today.
**[21:03] Miyu**
Kayatan, you're raring to go.
**[21:05] Miyu**
Okay, let's not stand on ceremony today.
**[21:07] Ayano**
I don't think that's right.
**[21:10] Miyu**
Let's eat a whole bunch.
**[21:27] Minami**
I'm Katayama Minami.
**[21:28] Minami**
Good evening, every-WUG.
**[21:30] Both**
Thanks for watching.
**[21:37] Shiraki**
How is I-1's new song coming along?
**[21:40] Hayasaka**
I haven't felt like writing.
**[21:43] Shiraki**
You're sure that's the only reason?
**[21:45] Hayasaka**
What other reason would there be?
**[21:59] Tange**
That wraps up Kaya and Minami.
**[22:03] Tange**
Let's keep it up.
**[22:04] Tange**
You're next!
**[23:44] Right**
Hey, what's your favorite Sendai specialty?
**[23:47] Middle**
Probably zunda.
**[23:48] Left**
Beef tongue's the best.
**[23:50] Right**
What about sea squirts?
**[23:51] Middle**
Zunda's delicious!
**[23:52] Left**
Beef tongue is the treasure of Sendai.
**[23:54] Right**
But what about sea squirts?

I love glasses so much,
I wish I could marry them.
**[06:35] Iwashi**
Why? Should I break your glasses for you?
**[06:38] Nanoka**
Please don't. I'll die.

I actually am my glasses.

So, what makes you girls crazy?
**[07:03] Iwashi**
We'll start with you with the pigtails.

Huh?
**[07:07] Miyu**
Oh, my twin tails?
**[07:09] Iwashi**
Yeah, you with the twin tails.
**[07:11] Miyu**
Um, I love anime and manga.
**[07:15] Miyu**
Right now, I recommend a series with tons
of characters and lots of funny jokes.
**[07:20] Miyu**
The protagonists are septuplets
who all have the same face.
**[07:23] Iwashi**
Enough.
**[07:24] Iwashi**
Should I pull out your twin tails?
**[07:26] Miyu**
What? Wh-Why?
**[07:29] Iwashi**
You're supposed to say "I am my twin tails."
**[07:34] Iwashi**
Forget it.
**[07:35] Iwashi**
What about you, Ponytail?
**[07:37] Nanami**
I-I, uh, um...

Oh, come on. Should I pull out your ponytail?

That's it. That's the line.
**[07:50] Iwashi**
Don't forget it.

This place is pretty fashionable.

important part of solo work is?
**[12:08] Nanami**
Doing your best?
**[12:10] Tange**
That's a given.
**[12:12] Tange**
You need to start by knowing
what your strengths are.
**[12:16] Miyu**
Our strengths?
**[12:17] Tange**
Yeah. And don't try to do a good job.

And being fit for a show means being
at a professional level, right?
**[12:53] Yoshino**
I don't think that's all.

Maybe it's entertaining the fans.

Honestly, I don't know either.

**[13:11] Airi**
I did my best not to stutter,
but I was told to act more like an idol.
**[13:16] Yoshino**

Huh?
**[13:47] Kaya**
I also write about low-calorie
meals I've made recently.
**[13:51] Miyu**
Should you be doing that?
**[13:53] Kaya**
Yeah. I got the president's permission.
**[13:55] Miyu**
That's not what I meant. I meant as an idol.
**[13:59] Miyu**
Isn't that not good?
**[14:00] Kaya**
I actually thought it'd
be fine since I'm an idol.

**[14:37] Miyu**
Yeah. After watching Kayatan,
I thought I could do something.
**[14:42] Matsuda**
A web show, huh?
**[14:45] Miyu**
Yeah, once a week.
**[14:46] Miyu**
I thought it'd be good
practice for talk shows.

Yoppi, how's your modeling work going?
**[15:11] Yoshino**
Honestly, *fanfan* was a little tough for me.
**[15:15] Mayu**
It's okay. You'll have other chances.
**[15:17] Yoshino**
Thanks.
**[15:18] Yoshino**
Minami, your food reports
seem to be going well.
**[15:23] Minami**
Not really.
**[15:25] Minami**
They said "It's tasty,
meow!" isn't good enough.
**[15:28] Minami**
Everyone else talks about the mouthfeel
or that it's like paradise in their mouth,
**[15:34] Minami**
but I don't know anything about that.
**[15:36] Minami**
Is it really not good enough to say
something's tasty if it's tasty?

in the skies after the rain stopped.

Ai-chan went all out.

I liked how realistic the shark is.

Hayashida Shark was a WUG girl, right?

My tongue and heart are dancing.
**[18:53] Minami**
Oh, it's tasty, meow!
**[18:59] Minami**
I tried expressing the deliciousness in song.
**[19:03] Himemaro**
You're way too good at singing.
**[19:05] Nishi**
What's that? A new version?
**[19:11] Minami**
Ai-chan, I saw your Hayashida Shark.
**[19:13] Minami**
It was great. It was just like you.
**[19:16] Airi**
Really? You think so?
**[19:19] Kaya**
You're embarrassed about that?
**[19:21] Yoshino**
Minyami, everyone's loving your
new version of "It's tasty, meow!"
**[19:25] Minami**
Yeah. I figured I'm pretty good at singing,
so I combined it with "It's tasty, meow!"
**[19:30] Kaya**
Really? You used your head for once.
**[19:34] Kaya**
Good job.
**[19:36] Minami**

I play Yoko, an energetic girl who loves
basketball in contrast with Mitsuki-chan.

Wouldn't you have been
better cast in opposite roles?

No. I think the difficulty
makes it worthwhile.

Yes, that's correct.

Could starring in this drama
lead to your return to I-1 Club?

No. Hakata is my home.

People are saying the drama
was cast to garner attention.

Even if it was, if that means more
people watch it, then I don't mind.

**[10:20] Miyu**
Maybe you should be yourself a little more.
**[10:24] Minami**
Yeah. Be happy when you're happy.
**[10:27] Minami**
Be sad when you're sad.
**[10:28] Minami**
When it's tasty, say it's tasty, meow!
**[10:30] Minami**
Right?
**[10:31] Miyu**
That's it.
**[10:33] Miyu**
And when you're depressed, just be depressed!
**[10:35] Minami**
Depressed!
**[10:36] Mayu**
I see. You're right.
**[10:38] Minami**
Mayushi?
**[10:40] Mayu**
Thanks, Minyami and Myu.

Thank you.

So, Igarashi-kun...
**[10:57] Yoko**
Huh?
**[10:58] Mitsuki**
Yoko, you're close with him, aren't you?
**[11:00] Yoko**
No, our relationship's normal.
**[11:03] Yoko**
We're just in the same class and club...
**[11:06] Murashita D**
Cut!
**[11:07] Mayu**
Sorry.
**[11:08] Murashita D**
What's wrong? You haven't been able to focus.
**[11:11] Murashita D**
Is there something bothering you?
**[11:13] Mayu**
Actually, yes.

Shimada-san, Iwasaki-san.
**[11:35] Tanaka P**
Come here.
**[11:36] Mayu**
Sir?
**[11:38] Tanaka P**
Let me introduce you. This is Wada-san.
**[11:40] Tanaka P**
She's the writer for this drama.
**[11:43] Both**
What?
**[11:44] Shiho**
Nice to meet you.
**[11:46] Shiho**
I'm Iwasaki Shiho, and I play Mitsuki.
**[11:48] Shiho**
Thank you for writing such a wonderful role.
**[11:51] Mayu**
I'm Shimada Mayu, and I play Yoko.
**[11:53] Mayu**
It's nice to meet you.
**[11:55] Wada**
It's nice to meet you, too.
**[11:57] Wada**
I'm Wada, the writer.
**[12:01] Wada**
You must busy with your idol work, too.
**[12:04] Wada**
Have you been getting enough sleep?
**[12:05] Shiho**
Yes, barely.
**[12:07] Shiho**
They're both worthwhile jobs,
so I'm doing my very best.
**[12:12] Tanaka P**
She'll be coming to the
set from time to time.
**[12:16] Wada**
I look forward to working with you.
**[12:18] Shimada**
E-Excuse me.
**[12:19] Shimada**
Wada-san, Director, there's
something I'd like to discuss.
**[12:25] Mayu**
It's this part that starts with
"No, our relationship's normal."
**[12:28] Wada**
Okay.
**[12:30] Mayu**
At this point, Yoko's also dreamed about him
**[12:32] Mayu**
and knows Mitsuki's in love
with Igarashi-kun, too.
**[12:36] Wada**
Yes.
**[12:37] Mayu**
So wouldn't she be a little
more shaken by her question?
**[12:42] Mayu**
Yoko strikes me as someone very honest.
**[12:44] Tanaka P**
Ah, I see. What do you think?
**[12:47] Wada**
I know what you mean.
**[12:49] Wada**
In that case...
**[12:51] Wada**
How about this?
**[12:55] Mitsuki**
So, Igarashi-kun...
**[12:57] Yoko**
Huh? Oh.
**[12:59] Mitsuki**
Are you okay?
**[13:01] Yoko**
I'm fine.
**[13:03] Yoko**
Sorry, uh... Igarashi?
**[13:05] Yoko**
What about Igarashi?
**[13:07] Mitsuki**
You're close, aren't you?
**[13:09] Yoko**
No way. We're not close, at all.
**[13:12] Mitsuki**
Huh?
**[13:12] Yoko**
We're just stuck together. That's all.
**[13:15] Mitsuki**
But...
**[13:17] Yoko**
Mitsuki, you're overthinking things.
**[13:21] Mitsuki**
Don't do that.
**[13:23] Yoko**
Let me see that forehead.
**[13:26] Murashita D**
Looks good.
**[13:27] Murashita D**
Yoko's more lively this way.
**[13:30] Wada**
Indeed.
**[13:31] Murashita D**
Cut! Good!
**[13:33] Mayu**
How was that?
**[13:35] Murashita D**
Perfect. Mitsuki's reaction was good, too.
**[13:38] Murashita D**
Nicely done, Iwasaki-san.
**[13:41] Shiho**
Thank you.
**[13:47] Wada**
Shimada-san, I look forward to seeing
the rest of your performance as Yoko.
**[13:51] Mayu**
Thank you.

*Huh?*
**[14:11] Mitsuki**
*Could it be that Yoko...*

* I've been having lately...*
**[14:24] Mom**
Ayumi, laundry!
**[14:25] Yoko**
*Hey.*
**[14:26] Ayumi**
I'll do it later.
**[14:28] Ayumi**
This is important.
**[14:29] Yoko**
*You're supposed to say "Heyoko."*
**[14:30] Mom**
Aren't you recording it?
**[14:32] Ayumi**
Yeah, of course.
**[14:32] Mitsuki**
*What's that about, anyway?*
**[14:33] Yoko**
*In the past, they called it saving energy.*
**[14:35] Yoko**
*Now we call it ecologically friendly.*
**[14:36] Otome**
Mayushi's great in the drama.
**[14:39] Otome**
She's kind of cool.
**[14:40] Ayumi**
Yeah. She's like a handsome girl.
**[14:43] Itsuka**
Shihocchi's so cute

**[14:46] Ayumi**
That doesn't sound like a compliment.

**[05:31] Murashita D**
But I said we'd be using stand-ins.
**[05:34] Shiho**
I know I'm not good at it.
**[05:37] Shiho**
But I think I've gotten a little better.
**[05:40] Tagami P**
I see.
**[05:43] Murashita D**
It's certainly better than the other day.
**[05:44] Mayu**
I'd like to make the same request.
**[05:46] Mayu**
I think it would help us get into our roles.
**[05:50] Shiho**
Mayu...
**[05:54] Shiho**
Thanks for earlier.
**[05:56] Mayu**
It's fine.
**[05:57] Mayu**
I just thought it would
result in a better product.
**[06:01] Mayu**
Besides, you've been practicing a lot, right?
**[06:04] Shiho**
Huh?
**[06:05] Mayu**
Megumi told me.
**[06:07] Mayu**
She said you got a tutor
even though you're so busy.
**[06:11] Shiho**
So you knew.
**[06:13] Shiho**
I can't relax unless I'm doing
something with my hands.
**[06:17] Mayu**
I know what you mean.
**[06:18] Mayu**
I used to play with balls all the time.
**[06:20] Shiho**
It's actually kind of fun once you try it.
**[06:23] Mayu**
And you're a perfectionist.
**[06:31] Shiho**
This weekend, we should be able
to resume working in Hakata.
**[06:34] Mayu**
Really?
**[06:35] Shiho**
Yeah. Moka's leg healed.
**[06:38] Mayu**
I see. That's great.
**[06:44] Shiho**
Thanks.
**[06:49] Shiho**
We're back!
**[06:51] All**
Shihocchi!
**[07:11] Shiho**
Good job, girls.
**[07:12] All**
Good work.
**[07:14] Noa**
We're so glad you're back, Shiho-san.
**[07:17] Hinako**
The crowd was on fire today.
**[07:20] Aya**
Everyone was so happy.
**[07:22] Aya**
We're happy also, of course.
**[07:24] Shiho**
Thanks. I'm relieved to be home.
**[07:28] Shiho**
But...
**[07:30] Shiho**
What was it like while I was gone?
**[07:33] Noa**
Honestly, our fans seemed listless, too.
**[07:38] Hinako**
We couldn't pump them up enough on our own.
**[07:42] Aya**
We were forlorn without you.
**[07:45] Shiho**
I see...
**[07:47] Noa**
Sorry. We weren't strong enough.
**[07:50] Hinako**
We still need you.
**[07:53] Aya**
We'll do our best, so don't abandon us!
**[07:56] Shiho**
I'm not blaming you.
**[07:59] Shiho**
It's okay.
**[08:00] Shiho**
Now that I'm back,
**[08:02] Shiho**
I'll make sure the theater's packed
and the crowds are pumped every day.
**[08:05] Shiho**
Leave it to me.
**[08:06] Noa**
You're so cool.
**[08:08] Aya**
Impressive as always.
**[08:09] Hinako**
Oh, right. Shiho-san, how is filming
for the drama coming along?
**[08:12] Noa**
I'm so excited about every Thursday.
**[08:15] Aya**
Your Mitsuki-chan is really cute.
**[08:18] Hinako**
And her interactions
with Yoko-chan are funny.
**[08:20] Shiho**
Thanks.
**[08:22] Shiho**
My schedule's totally fine now.
**[08:25] Shiho**
And things with I-1 have settled down, too.
**[08:37] Both**
Excuse us.
**[08:40] Nanoka**
Rena's headed to Yokohama.
**[08:41] Nanoka**
Tina's headed to Kobe.
**[08:43] Megumi**
Two jobs at once is hard.
**[08:53] Shiraki**
Oh, you don't need to go back there anymore.
**[08:56] Both**
What?
**[08:57] Shiraki**
Attention, please.
**[09:01] Shiraki**
Until now, we've established
theaters across the country
**[09:05] Shiraki**
to deliver the ultimate in
entertainment in person to our fans.
**[09:12] Shiraki**
However, the time has come
for us to take the next step.
**[09:16] Shiraki**
#38, #145.
**[09:20] Shiraki**
You've been working in
Yokohama and Kobe until now,
**[09:24] Shiraki**
but starting today, you'll be
focusing on the main I-1 club in Tokyo.
**[09:31] Rena**
But... what about the Yokohama theater?
**[09:34] Tina**
Who will perform at Kobe?
**[09:36] Shiraki**
The Kobe theater will be absorbed by Osaka.
***SIGN*** Kobe

***SIGN*** Yokohama Closed
**[09:39] Shiraki**
The Yokohama theater will be closed
until the next center can be trained.
**[09:44] Shiraki**
Now is the time to take
our first step as the new I-1 club.
**[09:48] Shiraki**
Our new song goes on sale in a week.
**[09:51] Shiraki**
Keep pushing forward to achieve results.
**[09:54] Shiraki**
Don't rest!
**[09:55] Shiraki**
Don't complain! Don't think!
**[09:57] All**

**[10:06] Mayu**
What? Me and Igarashi?
**[10:08] Yoko**
Yeah, right. No way.
**[10:11] Mitsuki**
Really?
**[10:13] Yoko**
Mitsuki, you always overthink things.
**[10:16] Yoko**
You're always making that gloomy face.
**[10:19] Yoko**
Cheer up.
**[10:20] Mitsuki**
Yoko. Yoko, stop.
**[10:23] Mitsuki**
You don't have to lie.
**[10:25] Yoko**
Huh?
**[10:28] Mitsuki**
I know.
**[10:35] Yoko**
I'm not lying!
**[10:37] Yoko**
Mitsuki, why would you say that? Why?
**[10:41] Murashita D**
Cut!
**[10:43] Mayu**
Sorry.
**[10:43] Shiho**
Don't worry about it.
**[10:44] Mayu**
Did that hurt?
**[10:46] Shiho**
I said I'm fine.
**[10:50] Shiho**
Shiraki-san did?
**[10:52] Megumi**
Yeah. He called Rena and Tina back.
**[10:56] Megumi**
Yokohama and Kobe are being
absorbed or closed down.
**[11:00] Shiho**
Are Rena and Tina okay with this?
**[11:03] Megumi**
It doesn't matter if they are.
**[11:05] Megumi**
They're Shiraki-san's orders.
**[11:07] Shiho**
I see. You're right.
**[11:11] Megumi**
Rumor has it that the other local
theaters will be shut down eventually.
**[11:14] Shiho**
What?
**[11:15] Megumi**
Shiho, do you think you...
**[11:18] Shiho**
As if.
**[11:19] Megumi**
But if it does happen, what will you do?
**[11:45] Yoko**
Mitsuki, you can slap me.
**[11:48] Mitsuki**
What?
**[11:49] Yoko**
Just do it.
**[11:53] Mitsuki**
Fine.
**[12:06] Mitsuki**
It's okay.
**[12:14] Murashita D**
Cut!
**[12:16] Shiho**
I'm sorry!
**[12:17] Murashita D**
You don't usually make mistakes.
**[12:20] Shiho**
I know.
**[12:23] Murashita D**
You don't seem into this.
**[12:25] Shiho**
I'm sorry.
**[12:26] Murashita D**
Okay, let's shift gears.
**[12:28] Murashita D**
Take a ten-minute break.
**[12:29] AD**

Got it!
***SIGN*** The Dreaming Duo

**[12:41] Mayu**
We're almost finished filming.
**[12:43] Shiho**
Yeah.
**[12:45] Mayu**
Shiho, are you okay?
**[12:49] Shiho**
Mitsuki's feelings...
**[12:51] Mayu**
What?
**[12:52] Shiho**
I don't have a firm grasp of them anymore.
**[12:55] Shiho**
I know it's too late for that, though.
**[12:57] Shiho**
When she learns Yoko and Igarashi-kun
have feelings for each other,
**[13:01] Shiho**
she backs off, right?
**[13:02] Shiho**
And in the end, she gives
Yoko her blessing with a smile.
**[13:05] Mayu**
Yeah.
**[13:07] Shiho**
I wouldn't be able to smile.
**[13:09] Shiho**
People give up on the person they like
for a friend all the time, but...
**[13:15] Mayu**
Shiho...
**[13:16] Shiho**
It's naive to think someone could
sacrifice their own feelings and smile.
**[13:22] Mayu**
Is it a sacrifice?
**[13:24] Shiho**
Huh?
**[13:25] Mayu**
When Yoko learned Mitsuki was in love
with him, she hid her own feelings.
**[13:30] Mayu**
But I never thought of it as a sacrifice.
**[13:34] Mayu**
Maybe they just want
their dear friend to be happy.
**[13:39] Mayu**
Or something.
**[13:41] Mayu**
Sorry. I don't really get it either.
**[13:48] AD**
Take two!
**[13:49] Murashita D**
Ready...
**[13:52] Murashita D**
Go!
**[13:54] Yoko**
Mitsuki, you can slap me.
**[13:57] Mitsuki**
What?
**[13:58] Yoko**
Just do it!
**[14:02] Mitsuki**
Fine.
**[14:17] Yoko**
Mitsuki?
**[14:25] Mitsuki**
It's okay, Yoko.
**[14:37] Yoko**
Is this me?
**[14:39] Mitsuki**
Yeah. What do you think?
**[14:41] Yoko**
Amazing.
**[14:42] Yoko**
It's... beautiful.
**[14:44] Mitsuki**
I'm glad. Thanks.
**[14:47] Yoko**
Sorry. Forget I said that.
**[14:49] Yoko**
I mean, it really is beautiful,
but I meant your drawing is... not me.
**[14:53] Mitsuki**
Yoko.
**[14:54] Yoko**
Yes?
**[14:55] Mitsuki**
I don't regret falling in love
with the same person as you
**[15:01] Mitsuki**
or dreaming the same dreams.
**[15:03] Yoko**
Mitsuki...
**[15:06] Mitsuki**
Yoko, I hope you find happiness.
**[15:14] AD**
Okay, that's a wrap!
**[15:17] Murashita D**
Good work, everyone!
**[15:18] All**
Thank you!
**[15:20] Murashita D**

Yeah. Shiho should be even
more exhausted than I am, too.
**[15:44] Tagami P**
By the way, Shimada-san.
**[15:46] Tagami P**
That question you asked me...
**[15:48] Mayu**
When?
**[15:50] Tagami P**
Before we aired.
**[15:52] Mayu**
Oh.
**[15:53] Mayu**
I'm sorry about that. That was rude of me.
**[15:55] Tagami P**
It's fine.
**[15:57] Tagami P**
To be honest, it's true that we
cast you two to generate attention.
**[16:02] Tagami P**
But it's also true that I
sensed potential in your Yoko.
**[16:07] Mayu**
Potential?
**[16:10] Tagami P**
Yeah. For better or for worse,
both you and Iwasaki-san surprised me.
**[16:16] Tagami P**
Idols are stronger than I thought.
**[16:18] Tagami P**
Now I'm glad I chose you even if
it wasn't for the best reason.
**[16:23] Mayu**
Thank you.
**[16:25] Mayu**
Thank you for everything.
**[16:30] Mayu**
Your ad-lib surprised me.
**[16:33] Shiho**
Huh?
**[16:34] Shiho**
Oh, this?
**[16:35] Mayu**
Did you not tell me beforehand on purpose?
**[16:38] Shiho**
Yeah. I knew you'd play along.
**[16:42] Mayu**
Huh?
**[16:47] Mayu**
I can't believe it's over now.
**[16:50] Mayu**
It's kind of sad.
**[16:52] Shiho**
I might show up on the set tomorrow.
**[16:56] Mayu**
It was fun.
**[16:58] Shiho**
Yeah. I had fun.
**[17:00] Mayu**
Huh?
**[17:03] Shiho**
But tomorrow's different.
**[17:06] Mayu**
Right.

But since we're from Sendai,
why don't we take a tour around the city?

*You'd better do something about this, too!*
**[02:36] Tange**
*Got it?*
**[02:38] Tange**
What's going on?
**[02:40] Tange**
He's been like that for two hours.
**[02:42] Director**
Since the focus of this episode is
the Iron Cook's improvisational cooking,
**[02:47] Director**
we just have to wait.
**[02:48] Tange**
This is hardly improvisational
if it takes this much time.
**[02:52] Director**
Well, you know...
**[02:55] Director**
We'll edit it?
**[02:56] Tange**
That's not the problem here!
**[03:01] Minami**
I'm hungry.
**[03:03] Minami**
I wanna say, "It's tasty, meow!" soon.
**[03:07] Minami**
I wanna go see the others.
**[03:11] Yoshino**
What time will Minyami arrive?
**[03:15] Matsuda**
Apparently, the previous
program's running really late.
**[03:19] Matsuda**
We're not even sure she'll
make tonight's event anymore.
**[03:23] Yoshino**
What?
**[03:24] Matsuda**
Worst case: she may not even
be able to participate in the concert.
**[03:27] Matsuda**
Be ready for that possibility.
**[03:30] Airi**
What? A concert without Minyami?
**[03:33] Nanami**
Will we be changing our formation?
**[03:35] Mayu**
We should probably think about it.
**[03:37] Yoshino**
We'll use a tape recorder during
the Melody A movement, and...
**[03:40] Yoshino**
Who sings Melody C there?
**[03:41] Miyu**
Me.
**[03:42] Mayu**
I'll introduce the song.
**[03:47] Otome**
D-Do we seem out of place?
**[03:50] Itsuka**
They're female idols.
**[03:52] Itsuka**
This is normal.
**[03:53] Ayumi**
I see.
**[03:56] JK1**
Would you like some?
**[03:58] Ayumi**
Oh, thank you.
**[04:01] All**
Thanks for the food.
**[04:01] All**
This looks good.
**[04:03] All**
I love these.
**[04:03] JK2**
Are you in high school?
**[04:05] Ayumi**
No, we're second-year middle school students.
**[04:07] JK1**
Really? You're so young.
**[04:08] JK1**
We're first-year high school students.
**[04:11] JK2**
Where are you from?
**[04:13] Otome**
We're local.
**[04:15] Otome**
We live in Sendai.
**[04:17] JK1**
Really? So you're the same as WUG, then.
**[04:21] JK1**
Lucky.
**[04:23] Ayumi**
I guess.
**[04:24] JK2**
We're actually from Tokyo.
**[04:27] Otome**
Tokyo? That's amazing.
**[04:30] Itsuka**
You must really love WUG.
**[04:33] Otome**
Who's your favorite?
**[04:35] JK1**
Minyami-chan.
**[04:36] JK2**
Me, too.
**[04:40] Matsuda**
We'll be holding an event here at
Yagiyama Zoo, our first destination.
**[04:47] Matsuda**
Is everyone wearing their participant pass?
**[04:51] All**
Yeah!
**[04:52] Matsuda**
Also, we're very sorry,
**[04:57] Matsuda**
but Katayama Minami will be late
due to a scheduling conflict.
**[05:02] Matsuda**
We appreciate your understanding.
**[05:04] JK1**
Really? That's kind of disappointing.
**[05:07] JK2**
Yeah, but she'll be here tonight, right?
**[05:10] Otome**
I'm sure it'll be fine.
**[05:13] Matsuda**
Here are the rules for "Find That WUG."
**[05:17] Matsuda**
Somewhere within Yagiyama Zoo,
the members of WUG—
**[05:22] Matsuda**
I mean, the beasts of WUG Zoo
are hiding, and it's your job to find them.
**[05:29] Matsuda**
Additionally, if you find
and capture one of them,
**[05:32] Matsuda**
you'll receive a paw print stamp
and signature in your guidebook.
**[05:37] Matsuda**
It's time to start.
**[05:39] Matsuda**
Go ahead, everyone.
**[05:46] Nanami**
Someplace we won't be found right away
but will be found without too much effort...
**[05:51] Yoshino**
Don't you think that's too convenient?
**[05:54] Nanami**
But we're professionals.
**[05:56] Nanami**
We have to make sure everyone has fun.
**[06:00] Yoshino**
You're right. In that case...
**[06:03] WUG A**
It's Yoppi and Nanamin!
**[06:06] WUG B**
Give us your paw print stamps!
***SIGN*** Due to certain circumstances,
we will not be allowing snacks to Mary
Yagiyama Zoo
**[06:09] Nanami**
Before we had a chance to hide...
**[06:11] Yoshino**
They already found us.
**[06:13] Kaya**
Look! Flamingos!
**[06:15] Kaya**
The hippos are over there!
**[06:16] Kaya**
Oh, I want to see the alligators later!
**[06:21] Airi**
Kayatan, you sure do love animals.
**[06:23] Kaya**
Sorry. I get so excited
when I come to the zoo.
**[06:29] Airi**
So do I, but right now,
I'm nervous about being found.
**[06:34] Kaya**
You're right.
**[06:35] Kaya**
Our WUGners are probably nervous, too.
**[06:38] Airi**
What if we scare each other and
go running in opposite directions?
**[06:42] Kaya**
No way.
**[06:43] Airi**
You think?
**[06:43] WUG C**
Um, excuse me...
**[06:46] WUG C**
Your stamp...
**[06:50] Mayu**
Miyu, calm down.
**[06:52] Miyu**
I can't calm down.
**[06:54] Miyu**
Who knows when they're coming?
**[06:56] Miyu**
I just want them to find us soon.
**[06:59] Mayu**
But then the WUGners wouldn't
get to enjoy looking for us.
**[07:04] Mayu**
We need to do our best to hide and run.
**[07:07] Miyu**
I see. Mayushi, you're so smart.
**[07:10] Miyu**
But you're not hidden at all.
**[07:14] Mayu**
Sure I am. I'm perfectly hidden.
**[07:18] Mayu**
Wait...
**[07:20] Both**
Run!
**[07:21] Ayumi**
What? M-Mayushi?
**[07:23] Otome**
Myu-chan?
***SIGN*** Look for WUG!-chan
**[07:25] Mayu**
Here.
**[07:26] Otome**
Thank you.
**[07:28] Otome**
Come on, Hayamaru.
**[07:30] Ayumi**
I can't.
**[07:31] Mayu**
There's no need to be nervous.
**[07:34] Mayu**
But thanks.
**[07:37] Mayu**
Huh? Weren't you at the film shoot?
**[07:47] Matsuda**
Thank you for participating in the event.
**[07:50] Matsuda**
Later today, we'll have lunch at Aoba Castle,
**[07:54] Matsuda**
then visit Jogesan, Rairaikyo,
and Akiu Otaki Falls
**[07:57] Matsuda**
before heading to Akiu Grand Hotel,
where we'll be staying tonight.
**[08:01] Matsuda**
We'll be traveling as a group,
so we appreciate your cooperation.
**[08:05] All**
Okay!
**[08:23] Mayu**
Thanks for sightseeing with us.
**[08:27] All**
Thank you!
**[08:30] Kaya**
Does everyone have their food and drinks?
**[08:33] Yoshino**
Then let's wholeheartedly give thanks.
***SIGN*** An Evening With WUG!-chan
**[08:37] Yoshino**
Thanks for the good.
**[08:38] All**
Thanks for the food!
***SIGN*** Sendai Bus Tour With WUG!!
**[08:40] JK1**
Minyami-chan's still not here.
**[08:43] JK2**
Yeah. I wanted to hear her say
"It's tasty, meow" in person.
**[08:48] All**
Thanks for the food!
**[08:51] Yoshino**
Give us a minute, please.
**[08:58] Airi**
Minyami's still not here.
**[09:00] Nanami**
Maybe she won't make it in time.
**[09:04] Matsuda**
Okay. Let's do the dance lesson first.
**[09:07] Miyu**
What? We're buying time?
**[09:10] Kaya**
Why not? I'd like to warm up before the show.
**[09:14] Mayu**
And everyone should be here for the concert.
**[09:29] Matsuda**
Next up is the special concert
you've been waiting for.
**[09:34] Matsuda**
Wait where you are, please.
**[09:39] Matsuda**
She's still not here.
**[09:43] Matsuda**
We can't delay it any longer.
**[09:46] Yoshino**
Do we have to?
**[09:47] Yoshino**
Can't we wait for Minyami?
**[09:49] Matsuda**
Our time is limited.
**[09:52] Matsuda**
Besides, I wouldn't want to cut the
concert short for the people who came.
**[09:58] Yoshino**
You're right.
**[10:01] Mayu**
Let's do everything we can for now.
**[10:05] Yoshino**
Mayushi...
**[10:07] Yoshino**
You're right.
**[10:09] Yoshino**
Okay.
**[10:11] Yoshino**
Let's go!
**[10:11] Kaya**
Work hard!
**[10:13] All**
Wake Up, Girls!
**[10:27] Yoshino**
Good evening, every-WUG.
**[10:30] Yoshino**
We are...
**[10:31] All**
Wake Up, Girls!
**[10:34] Miyu**
Thank you so much for coming today.
**[10:38] Airi**
I hope you're having fun.
**[10:41] JK1**
Minyami-chan's still not here.
**[10:44] JK2**
Is she actually coming?
**[10:46] Otome**
I-I'm sure it'll be fine.
**[10:49] Ayumi**
Yeah. She'll be here soon.
**[10:51] JK1**
Are you sure?
**[10:56] Yoshino**
Minyami's fans don't seem too happy.
**[10:59] Airi**
Is there anything we can do?
**[11:02] Mayu**
Something Minyami's fans would like...
**[11:05] Nanami**
Guys, focus on the next song.
**[11:08] Nanami**
Oh, I know. That's it.
**[11:10] Yoshino**
What? What, Nanamin?
**[11:12] Nanami**
This. We'll become Minyami.
**[11:15] Nanami**
Someone can change into this during
the song and dance Minyami's part.
**[11:20] Kaya**
I see.
**[11:21] Mayu**
That could work.
**[11:22] Airi**
Yeah.
**[11:23] Miyu**
Good idea, Nanamin.
**[11:25] Nanami**
So...? Who should do it?
**[11:28] Nanami**
Based on her dance style, maybe Ai-chan?
**[11:30] Nanami**
But her build's most important.
**[11:32] Nanami**
The member with the build
closest to Minyami is...
**[11:35] Yoshino**
We're counting on you, Nanamin.
**[11:38] Nanami**
Huh?
**[11:39] Yoshino**
Everyone get ready.
**[11:41] Mayu**
Yeah.
**[11:41] Miyu**
WUG Zoo, Zoo.
**[11:43] All**
Yeah!

But that's a tiger, right?
**[12:54] Nanami**
I-I'm Minyami!
**[12:57] Nanami**
It's tasty, meow!
**[13:02] WUG F**
"I'm Minyami?"
**[13:04] WUG G**
She's too cute!
**[13:06] WUG H**
Keep it up, Nanamin!
**[13:09] JK1**
I might become a Nanamin fan, too!
**[13:13] JK2**
WUG is great, aren't they?
**[13:16] All**
Nanamin's the best!
**[13:23] Matsuda**
Good grief.
**[13:24] Matsuda**
They're finally livening up.
**[13:27] Minami**
Sorry I'm late!
**[13:30] Matsuda**
Minami, you made it.
**[13:32] Matsuda**
Great.
**[13:34] Tange**
We took the super express to get here.
**[13:36] Tange**
You'd better be grateful.
**[13:38] Tange**
Matsuda.
**[13:38] Matsuda**
Yes?
**[13:39] Tange**
Go pay the taxi.
**[13:40] Matsuda**
Who? Me?
**[13:42] ---**
**[13:42] Miyu**
Minyami's here.
**[13:44] Yoshino**
Minyami, great.
**[13:44] ---**
I'm sorry, how much is it?
**[13:45] Minami**
I'm sorry.
**[13:47] Kaya**
Hurry up and get changed.
**[13:47] ---**
So expensive!
**[13:48] Minami**
Okay.
***SIGN*** An Evening With WUG!-chan
**[13:51] Yoshino**
All seven of us are finally here.
**[13:55] Airi**
Thanks for waiting,
and sorry for the trouble.
**[13:58] Kaya**
Now that we're all here, we actually
have some extra special news.
**[14:03] All**
What is it?
**[14:05] Miyu**
And we'll be telling you first.
**[14:08] Minami**
Here's the announcement.
**[14:10] Minami**
Wake Up, Girls! will be...
***SIGN*** First Album on Sale
**[14:12] Nanami**
Releasing our first album this fall.
**[14:15] Nanami**
And...
**[14:16] Mayu**
We'll be performing our first
national tour this winter.
**[14:17] ---**
**[14:23] All**
Congratulations!
**[14:34] Otome**
The concert was super fun.
**[14:36] Ayumi**
Yeah. I got some pictures, too.
**[14:39] Ayumi**
I'm so happy.
**[14:41] Itsuka**
There's a ping pong table.
**[14:42] Otome**
Where?
**[14:44] Itsuka**
Over there.
**[14:48] Ayumi**
Mayushi's so noble.
**[14:52] Ayumi**
Huh? Mocchi, Acchan?
**[14:58] Ayumi**
Where did you go?
**[15:00] Ayumi**
This inn is like a maze.
**[15:02] Ayumi**
I don't know where the bath is.
**[15:08] Ayumi**
Huh? Green Leaves?
***SIGN*** Green Leaves
**[15:14] Ayumi**
Is this Mayushi's?
**[15:16] Ayumi**
Wow! It's the real thing.
**[15:18] Ayumi**
Oh, right. I should take a picture.
***SIGN*** Green Leaves
**[15:24] Mayu**
Is someone there?
**[15:25] Ayumi**
Wh-What should I do?
**[15:30] Mayu**
Huh?
**[15:31] Mayu**
I thought someone was here.
**[15:33] Ayumi**
What? M-Mayushi?
**[15:37] Mayu**
Oh, no! What should I do?
**[15:40] Mayu**
Why did this have to happen?
**[15:42] Mayu**
Am I supposed to hit it or rub it?
**[15:44] Mayu**
Which is it?
**[15:45] Miyu**
Mayushi? What are you doing?
**[15:50] Miyu**
Is this "Traveler's Suspense:
Steamy Polar Bear Murder?!"
**[15:55] Mayu**
Please, Myu. Help me carry it.
**[15:58] Miyu**
Mayushi, we should turn ourselves in.
**[16:00] Miyu**
Okay? Okay?
**[16:01] Miyu**
We'll atone for our crimes.
**[16:07] Miyu**
Mayushi, you can be so clumsy sometimes.
**[16:12] Miyu**
But if that's what happened,
then there's nothing to worry about.
**[16:16] Mayu**
But I spilled something on it.
**[16:19] Mayu**
I need to do something.
**[16:21] Ayumi**
What should I do?
**[16:23] Ayumi**
I need to take this off and apologize.
**[16:27] Mayu**
Is there someone inside?
**[16:30] Mayu**
Yoppi?
**[16:32] Miyu**
Why don't you wear that to the
hot springs and wash it off?
**[16:36] Ayumi**
What?
**[16:37] Mayu**
Oh, right. Good idea.
**[16:39] Mayu**
Yoppi, let's do that.
**[16:41] Mayu**
If we don't hurry, it'll stain.
**[16:42] Miyu**
Yeah, come on.
**[16:46] Mayu**
Yoppi, let's hurry.
**[16:48] Miyu**
I'll get the others and head there later.
**[16:53] Mayu**
Hurry, hurry.
**[16:56] Ayumi**
What should I do?
**[16:57] Mayu**
Need help getting it off?
**[17:03] Mayu**
Okay. I'll head inside.
**[17:08] Ayumi**
What should I do?
**[17:10] Ayumi**
But if I don't wash this,
it'll mean trouble for WUG.
**[17:20] Mayu**
Yoppi?
**[17:22] Mayu**
Come on, Yoppi.
**[17:25] Mayu**
We need to get this cleaned off.
**[17:32] Ayumi**
M-Maybe I can sneak out now...
**[17:36] Airi**
Mayushi, there you are.
**[17:37] Nanami**
What happened?
**[17:40] Mayu**
I spilled some tomato juice on it.
**[17:43] Mayu**
Sorry.
**[17:44] Kaya**
Oh, my. That's quite the spill.
**[17:47] Yoshino**
If you washed it off
with water, it should be fine.
**[17:50] Mayu**
Yeah. Thanks, Yoppi.
**[17:52] Yoshino**
Huh? Me?
**[17:57] Airi**
The WUGners' dancing was amazing, wasn't it?
**[18:01] Airi**
It was perfect.
**[18:03] Minami**
I wish I could've seen it.
**[18:06] Kaya**
You'll have to wait for the second bus tour.
**[18:10] Miyu**
Yeah. Let's do this again.
**[18:12] Miyu**
It was super fun.
**[18:14] Nanami**
Smiles are amazingly powerful.
**[18:17] Nanami**
Since this trip wasn't far,
I actually feel energized.
**[18:21] Yoshino**
Isn't it amazing when you consider
the things we do make people
**[18:26] Yoshino**
who have nothing to do with us smile?
**[18:28] Airi**
Oh, right.
**[18:30] Airi**
When you think of it that way,
idols really are amazing.
**[18:33] Mayu**
Yeah. A lot of people thanked us,
**[18:37] Mayu**
but this job is so wonderful,
I feel like thanking them.
**[18:47] Mayu**
By the way, Yoppi, why were you
wearing that costume earlier?
**[18:51] Yoshino**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[18:55] Mayu**
Then who was it?
**[19:03] Ayumi**
*The power to make strangers smile.*
**[19:06] Ayumi**
*That's the power of an idol.*
**[19:08] Ayumi**
*I want to become an idol, too.*
**[19:12] Otome**
Hayamaru, where have you been?
**[19:16] Itsuka**
We were worried.
**[19:17] Ayumi**
Sorry. Actually, I...
**[19:21] Matsuda**
You're still awake?
**[19:24] Matsuda**
We're starting early tomorrow.
**[19:25] Matsuda**
And Nanami, we're leaving at 6:30.
**[19:28] Nanami**
I know.
**[19:32] Matsuda**
Sheesh.
**[19:33] Airi**
Minyami just got here.
**[19:35] Airi**
Now Nanamin's leaving early.
**[19:38] Kaya**
We've been so busy lately.
**[19:43] Yoshino**
What's going to happen to us now?
**[19:46] Airi**
Yoppi? Where did that come from?
**[19:50] Yoshino**
It's good that we're getting more solo work.
**[19:54] Yoshino**
But where should we go now as Wake Up, Girls?
**[19:59] Airi**
As WUG?
**[20:01] Miyu**
D-Don't say such anxiety-inducing things.
**[20:06] Kaya**
What are you blubbering about, Myu?
**[20:09] Miyu**
But...
**[20:12] Mayu**
We're WUG whether we're alone or together.
**[20:15] Airi**
Mayushi?
**[20:20] Mayu**
Maybe we need to learn to proudly
**[20:24] Mayu**
call ourselves WUG, even if one
of us is missing like today.
**[20:29] Mayu**
Even if it's just one.
**[20:33] Yoshino**
So each of us should carry the banner of WUG?
**[20:37] Mayu**
Something like that.
**[20:39] Kaya**
Yeah, you're right. That's it.
**[20:43] Yoshino**
Then we have to become stronger.
**[20:46] Yoshino**
Okay.
**[20:47] Kaya**
From now on...
**[20:49] All**
Work hard!
**[21:06] All**
Good morning, everyone!
**[21:09] All**
Good morning!
**[21:20] Mayu**
Thank you.
**[21:23] Mayu**
Thanks for being an extra in the drama.
**[21:28] Ayumi**
Y-You remembered.
**[21:32] Ayumi**
Um, I...
**[21:35] Ayumi**
I want to be an idol!
**[21:37] All**
Huh?
**[21:40] Mayu**
Huh?
**[21:44] Mayu**
Really?
**[21:46] Mayu**
Good luck to both of us, then.
**[21:48] Ayumi**
Th-Thank you.
**[21:51] Ayumi**
I will become an idol.
**[22:04] Shiraki**
All of you will be reborn.

**[00:05] Mayu**
As members of Sendai's first
idol group, Wake Up, Girls!,
**[00:09] Mayu**
we've been taking on solo jobs in order
to increase our national popularity.
**[00:15] Mayu**
I appeared in a drama;
**[00:18] Mayu**
Yoppi was a magazine model;
**[00:20] Mayu**
Minyami and Kayatan did gourmet reports;
**[00:24] Mayu**
Nanamin and Myu were on a variety show;
**[00:27] Mayu**
and Ai-chan was a caster on a news show.
**[00:30] Mayu**
They were first experiences for all of us.
**[00:33] Mayu**
We had our struggles,
but we're growing little by little.
**[00:40] Mayu**
And at our first fan club event,
we got to see our fans smile up close.
**[00:49] Ota**
Looks like the WUG fan club
bus tour was a success.
**[00:54] Asazu**
Th-That's great.
***SIGN*** Bus Tour Memories
**[00:56] Ota**
As true WUGners, we must watch
over them from a distance.
**[01:03] Ota**
Never crossing the line between idol and fan,
**[01:09] Ota**
stage and audience,
is the creed of true idol...
**[01:13] All**
Uh, oh.
**[01:14] Ota**
Y-You guys!
**[01:18] Employee**
Sir, please be quiet.
**[01:23] Mayu**
Finally, we're beginning preparations
for WUG's first national tour.

We may be able to go with

Yes!

**[03:20] Miyu**
I... I can't take it anymore.
**[03:23] Mayu**
Myu, are you okay?
**[03:25] Kaya**
Come on. You can't be exhausted already.
**[03:27] Nanami**
Yeah. How many songs do you think
we'll be singing at the concert?
**[03:31] Minami**
After all, it is a full album.
**[03:33] Yoshino**
Yeah. You need to build your strength.
**[03:37] Yoshino**
At least you have the energy to speak.
**[03:41] Airi**
Myu, it's just a little longer. We can do it.
**[03:44] Miyu**
Ai-chan, you're an angel.
**[03:48] Minami**
I'm hungry.
**[03:48] Miyu**
The rice is ready.
**[03:50] Mayu**
Could you set the table?
**[03:51] Miyu**
Okay.
**[03:52] Minami**
I'm starving.
**[03:53] Yoshino**
Come to think of it, the president said
we can come up with the set list ourselves.
**[03:57] Minami**
Really? All right.
**[03:59] Kaya**
We should start with something
that will draw people in.
**[04:02] Nanami**
Our choreography has to be perfect.
**[04:05] Yoshino**
Are you guys having any trouble
balancing your schedules?
**[04:08] Mayu**
Kayatan, you've been busy lately.
**[04:10] Kaya**
Yeah. I might become
a regular on *Let's Try* soon.
**[04:14] Kaya**
People like my contests against animals,
so they're turning it into a series.
**[04:17] Miyu**
Really? That's amazing.
**[04:20] Airi**
Mayushi, you were cast
in another drama, right?
**[04:22] Mayu**
Yeah. This one's a two-hour special.
**[04:25] Minami**
Nanamin, is it true that you're
auditioning to be a singer on a kids' show?
**[04:29] Nanami**
Yeah. It's a little way off,
but I'm not sure if I can handle children.
**[04:35] Kaya**
After all, you're still a kid yourself.
**[04:37] Nanami**
Say what?
**[04:39] Yoshino**
Our solo work is important,
but the tour comes first.
**[04:42] Mayu**
Yeah. We have to make it a success.
**[04:45] Yoshino**
Okay. Let's start preparing for the tour.
**[04:47] Kaya**
We can do it!
**[04:48] All**
Wake up, Girls!
**[04:55] Tange**
How are they doing?
**[04:57] Matsuda**
What do you mean?
**[04:58] Matsuda**
They're excited and working hard.
**[05:01] Matsuda**
After all, it's their first national tour.
**[05:03] Tange**
Really? Good.
**[05:05] Matsuda**
I wouldn't say that, President.
**[05:08] Tange**
What?
**[05:09] Tange**
Is there a problem? You look distressed.
**[05:12] Matsuda**
Of course I am.
**[05:15] Matsuda**
The tickets aren't selling.
**[05:17] Tange**
What? Why not?
**[05:19] Tange**
They've been doing all that solo work.
**[05:22] Tange**
They should be more popular by now.
**[05:24] Matsuda**
It's not nearly enough.
**[05:27] Matsuda**
Their final performance
**[05:28] Matsuda**
at the Sendai Stadium on Christmas
is looking particularly bad.
**[05:31] Tange**
Do something about it.
**[05:32] Tange**
That's your job.
**[05:37] Matsuda**
It's your fault for choosing
the Sendai Stadium.
**[05:41] Matsuda**
Sheesh.

**[05:53] Matsuda**
What?
**[05:56] Shiraki**
I have an important announcement to make.
**[06:04] Shiraki**
We will be forming
a brand-new selection unit.
**[06:11] Shiraki**
This new unit will stand at the top
of the entire group, so act appropriately.
**[06:19] Nanoka**
Is that why he called back Rena and Tina?
**[06:23] Megumi**
Yeah.
**[06:24] Megumi**
Was it for the new unit?
**[06:27] Shiraki**
Quiet.
**[06:31] Shiraki**
A new center will be selected
from within the unit, as well.
**[06:37] Moka**
Huh?
**[06:40] Moka**
Does this mean I'm being demoted?
**[06:43] Shiraki**
Yes, it does.
**[06:46] Moka**
I refuse to accept this!
**[06:47] Moka**
Is this because of my injury?
**[06:50] Shiraki**
That's part of it.
**[06:51] Moka**
But that wasn't my fault.
**[06:54] Shiraki**
No, it wasn't your fault.
**[06:56] Shiraki**
You were unlucky. That's all.
**[06:59] Shiraki**
But a true center must have
luck on her side, as well.
**[07:05] Shiraki**
One more thing.
**[07:06] Shiraki**
We'll be changing captains.
**[07:07] Shiraki**
Number five will be replaced by number seven.
**[07:10] Megumi**
Me?
**[07:11] Megumi**
Wh-Why me?
**[07:16] Megumi**
I can't be the captain!
**[07:19] Megumi**
I can't take Mai's place...
**[07:21] MAI**
It's okay. Megumi, you can do it.
**[07:23] MAI**
Shiraki-san chose you.
**[07:25] Megumi**
But I can't! I can't!
**[07:27] MAI**
Please.
**[07:29] MAI**
I-1 needs you right now.
**[07:32] Megumi**
But... But I really can't!
**[07:39] MAI**
I'm counting on you.
**[07:49] Shiraki**
What did you want to discuss?
**[07:50] Hayasaka**
It's about I-1's new song.
**[07:52] Hayasaka**
I've decided to pass on it this time.
**[07:55] Shiraki**
Why?
**[07:56] Hayasaka**
I just don't feel like writing it.
**[07:59] Hayasaka**
That's all.
**[08:23] Hayasaka**
Don't feel like it, huh?
**[08:31] Band A**
Hayasaka, what do you think you're doing?
**[08:33] Hayasaka**
I told you. It's how I feel.
**[08:35] Hayasaka**
I just don't feel like it.
**[08:37] Band A**
What's going on, Hayasaka?
**[08:39] Band B**
Hey, wait.
**[08:41] Band B**
Give us the details.
**[08:43] Band C**
Is that so?
**[08:45] Band C**
Forget it! Do whatever you want!
**[08:56] Ayumi**
This is the place. Right, Mocchi?
**[08:58] Otome**
Probably.
**[09:00] Ayumi**
Then, let's go.
**[09:02] Both**
Okay.
**[09:04] Matsuda**
What are we going to do?
**[09:07] Matsuda**
I can't believe we're performing
on the same day as I-1.
**[09:10] Matsuda**
It's hard enough to sell tickets.
**[09:12] Tange**
Why did you have to choose
Christmas, you idiot?
**[09:16] Matsuda**
You're the one who made the decision.
**[09:18] Tange**
Really?
**[09:20] Matsuda**
In any case, we'll have to bring
in fans from outside of Sendai
**[09:23] Matsuda**
to fill the Sendai Stadium.
**[09:26] Tange**
I know that.
**[09:30] Matsuda**
Yes?
**[09:32] Matsuda**
Who is it?
**[09:33] Matsuda**
Huh? You girls...
**[09:35] Matsuda**
Have we met before?
**[09:37] Otome**
Uh, excuse us.
**[09:38] Matsuda**
Oh, you were on the bus tour.
**[09:40] Ayumi**
Uh, um... W-We, uh...
**[09:43] Matsuda**
Yes?
**[09:43] Tange**
Matsuda, who are those teeny girls?
**[09:46] Matsuda**
Teeny?
**[09:47] Ayumi**
G-Gree... Green L-Leaves...
**[09:48] Itsuka**
Hayamaru, pull yourself together.
**[09:51] Ayumi**
P-Please make us idols!
**[09:56] Matsuda**
Huh?
**[09:59] Tange**
You're in middle school?
**[10:01] Otome**
Y-Yes. Uh, we're huge fans
of WUG... Wake Up, Girls!
**[10:07] Tange**
Sorry, but we're not taking
on any new clients right now.
**[10:11] Tange**
Please go.
**[10:13] Matsuda**
But, ma'am...
**[10:17] Ayumi**
Excuse us.
**[10:22] Matsuda**
Ma'am, those girls...
**[10:24] Tange**
What? I have no intention
of hiring little girls like that.
**[10:28] Tange**
Besides, people who claim
to be fans tend to be naive.
**[10:36] Matsuda**
Are they?
**[10:38] Tange**
They are.

**[10:52] Ayumi**
Maybe—just hypothetically—do you think
maybe, maybe it's possible that maybe...
**[10:53] Nanoka**
*Moka's been all about the Showa era lately.*
**[10:57] MAI**
*Apparently, she's interested in
rapid economic growth.*
**[10:58] Mom**
What are you talking about?
**[11:01] Ayumi**
Well, hypothetically speaking,
do you think I could become an idol?
**[11:02] Moka**
*Well, I am growing.*
**[11:04] Moka**
*And I'll keep on growing.*
**[11:07] Moka**
*Oh, that and the foil crisis.*
**[11:10] MAI**
*As in aluminum?*
**[11:11] Megumi**
*Don't you mean oil?*
**[11:13] Mom**
Sure you can.
**[11:15] Nanoka**
*Moka, you're so easily offended.*
**[11:15] Ayumi**
Are you even listening?
**[11:18] Mom**
You should do something about your
**[11:20] Nanoka**
*You're blowing bubbles.*
**[11:20] Mom**
erythromania before you think
about becoming an idol.
**[11:23] Mom**
Oh, I know.
**[11:24] Nanoka**
*She's broken.*
**[11:24] Mom**
If you want to dance, we can dance
at the upcoming festival together.
**[11:28] Ayumi**
What? Uh, I don't know about that...
**[11:28] Tina**
*By the way, I've been into pork belly lately.*
**[11:30] Ayumi**
Oh, I need to go study.
**[11:33] Ayumi**
Bye.
**[11:33] Rena**
*I'm into erasers.*
**[11:34] Ayumi**
Thanks for doing the laundry, Mom.
**[11:35] Rika**
*How are we supposed to get
this conversation back on track?*
**[11:40] Otome**
My parents won't take me seriously at all.
**[11:44] Ayumi**
Neither will mine.
**[11:45] Itsuka**
Mine asked if I had a fever.
**[11:49] Otome**
So, what should we do?
**[11:58] Matsuda**
That's four thousand copies finished.
**[12:00] Matsuda**
Sheesh. The president's
running out of control again.
**[12:08] Otome**
Hello.
**[12:10] Matsuda**
Huh? Oh, you girls.
**[12:13] Ayumi**
Um, we just couldn't give up.
**[12:16] Itsuka**
Will you at least let us audition?
**[12:18] Matsuda**
Yeah, but...
**[12:21] Matsuda**
The president's not here right now,
and I have to distribute these fliers.
**[12:26] Ayumi**
Huh?
**[12:26] Ayumi**
Will you let us do that?
**[12:30] Matsuda**
What?
**[12:35] Otome**
Are there always this many people?
**[12:38] Ayumi**
They all walk so fast.
**[12:39] Itsuka**
I'm going.
**[12:43] Itsuka**
Take one.
**[12:44] Itsuka**
Take one.
**[12:45] Itsuka**
Take one.
**[12:45] Ayumi**
Acchan's amazing.
**[12:47] Itsuka**
Take one.
**[12:47] Otome**
This is no time to stand
here being impressed.
**[12:48] Itsuka**
Take one.
**[12:49] Otome**
Let's join her.
**[12:50] Itsuka**
Take one.
**[12:50] Ayumi**
Yeah.
**[12:51] Otome**
P-Please.
**[12:54] Ayumi**
P-Please.
**[12:59] Ayumi**
*I bet my face is red.*
**[13:02] Ayumi**
Plea—
**[13:04] Man**
What do you want?
**[13:06] Ayumi**
I-I'm sorry.
**[13:12] Otome**
Nobody accepts fliers.
**[13:17] Itsuka**
Being ignored so much is pretty tough.
**[13:20] Ayumi**
Th-That was scary.
**[13:26] Tange**
Matsuda!
**[13:29] Tange**
What do you think you're
doing while I'm gone?
**[13:34] Matsuda**
Y-Yeah, but...
**[13:35] Tange**
How could you let some middle
schoolers hand out fliers?
**[13:40] Matsuda**
They were surprisingly quick.
**[13:44] Matsuda**
They stole the fliers before
I had a chance to react.
**[13:47] Tange**
You're just too slow.
**[13:57] Tange**
You seem pretty depressed.
**[14:01] Tange**
Smile.
**[14:02] Ayumi**
Huh?
**[14:03] Tange**
Come on! Hurry up.
**[14:10] Tange**
Being an idol's about smiling
when the going gets tough.
**[14:15] Tange**
You girls couldn't cut it.
**[14:29] Mayu**
Ma'am, who were they?
**[14:32] Tange**
Wannabe idols.
**[14:34] Tange**
Ignore them. They won't be coming back.
**[14:37] Mayu**
I see.
**[14:46] Ayumi**
Smile when the going gets tough, huh?
**[14:51] Ayumi**
Is that what Mayushi does?
**[15:00] Ayumi**
Oh! Come to think of it...
**[15:02] Yoshino**
Isn't it amazing when you consider
**[15:05] Yoshino**
the things we do make people
who have nothing to do with us smile?
**[15:10] Mayu**
A lot of people thanked us, but this job
is so wonderful, I feel like thanking them.
**[15:21] Ayumi**
Hey, Mom. I have a question.
**[15:25] Mom**
What now?
**[15:27] Ayumi**
What do you think of my smile?
**[15:31] Mom**
What do you mean?
**[15:36] Mom**
I guess it's nice.
**[15:39] Mom**
You seem carefree like you're not
thinking about anything at all,
**[15:42] Mom**
but looking at it makes me happy.
**[15:44] Ayumi**
Happy? Really?
**[15:46] Mom**
Well, you are my daughter.
**[15:48] Mom**
Seeing you smile is—
**[15:51] Ayumi**
Thanks!
**[15:52] Ayumi**
I feel confident now!
**[16:00] Ayumi**
Good morning.
**[16:01] Otome**
Huh?
**[16:01] Itsuka**
You scared me.
**[16:03] Ayumi**
I don't want to give up.
**[16:11] Ayumi**
Give us one more chance.
**[16:13] Ayumi**
Please.
**[16:17] Ayumi**
When the going gets tough, you have to smile.
**[16:21] Ayumi**
I'm sure Mayushi and the rest of WUG
are doing their best to do that.
**[16:25] Otome**
Yeah, you're right.
**[16:28] Otome**
Okay, let's go.
**[16:29] Itsuka**
Yeah.
**[16:30] Otome**
Please.
**[16:32] Ayumi**
P-Please.
**[16:35] Otome**
Hayamaru, your face is stiff.
**[16:37] Ayumi**
Huh?
**[16:43] Itsuka**
Please.
**[16:45] Otome**
Acchan, can't you smile with your eyes more?
**[16:56] Otome**
M-My face is starting to get tired.
**[16:59] Ayumi**
It's hard to keep smiling when
there's nothing funny happening.
**[17:03] Itsuka**
My cheeks are sore.
**[17:05] Ayumi**
Idols really are amazing.
**[17:11] Otome**
How cute.
**[17:14] Otome**
Hey.
**[17:20] Ayumi**
Are you okay?
**[17:25] Otome**
Hayamaru, why did you have to trip, too?
**[17:28] Ayumi**
Mocchi, it hurts.
**[17:32] Ayumi**
Wh-Why are you laughing?
**[17:34] Ayumi**
What? What?
**[17:35] Ayumi**
You, too, Acchan?
**[17:35] Otome**
Look.
**[17:36] Ayumi**
Huh? What is this?
**[17:38] Ayumi**
No way!
**[17:40] Ayumi**
He smiled.
**[17:41] Otome**
You're right.
**[17:44] Mom**
Oh?
**[17:45] Otome**
All done.
**[17:49] Mom**
I'm so sorry. Was he bothering you?
**[17:52] Child**
Mommy.
**[17:53] Ayumi**
You're his mother? Great.
**[17:56] Mom**
You were handing out fliers here
the other day, weren't you?
**[17:59] Mom**
Are you idols?
**[18:01] Ayumi**
No, we're just helpers.
**[18:04] Itsuka**
We're idols-in-training.
**[18:06] Otome**
These are fliers for a WUG concert,
the group we hope to follow.
**[18:11] Ayumi**
Um, you're welcome to take one.
**[18:13] Mom**
Why, thank you.
**[18:16] Ayumi**
N-No, thank you.
**[18:20] Mom friend A**
What's going on?
**[18:21] Mom**
These girls are idols-in-training.
**[18:24] Mom friend B**
Really?

What's going on?
**[18:27] BG Man**
Look at this.
**[18:28] BG Girl**
Wow! Really?
**[18:30] Man A**
They're idols?
**[18:31] Man B**
They're cute.
**[18:32] BG Mom friend**
They were handing out fliers
the other day, right?
**[18:35] BG Man**
How cute.
**[18:37] BG Girl**
Don't you just want to support them?
**[18:42] Mayu**
Those girls...
**[18:46] Ayumi**
We still want to be idols.
**[18:49] Otome**
Let us audition.
**[18:50] Itsuka**
Please.
**[18:51] Tange**
Fine. Since you're so persistent,
I'll let you audition.
**[18:57] Tange**
But no promises.
**[18:59] Ayumi**
R-Really?
**[19:00] Otome**
Thank you.
**[19:01] Itsuka**
All right.
**[19:03] Tange**
The audition begins now.
**[19:05] Tange**
Start by introducing yourselves.
**[19:07] Otome**
Okay.
**[19:08] Otome**
I'm Morishima Otome, 14 years old.
**[19:10] Otome**
Since I was little, I've always
liked cute stuff and idols.
**[19:13] Otome**
Since I learned WUG—I mean,
**[19:15] Otome**
Wake Up, Girls! were a local
group, I've been a huge fan.
**[19:19] Otome**
I like all of them, but if I had
to pick, Myu-chan's my favorite.
**[19:23] Tange**
Morishima-san, huh? Okay, next.
**[19:25] Itsuka**
I'm Atsugi Itsuka, 14 years old.
**[19:27] Itsuka**
I'm a good dancer.
**[19:29] Itsuka**
I like WUG, too, but I
admire I-1 Club's dancing.
**[19:33] Tange**
You don't mince words, do you? I like it.
**[19:35] Tange**
Okay, next.
**[19:36] Ayumi**
O-Okay.
**[19:38] Ayumi**
I-I'm Hayashi Ayumi, 14 years old.
**[19:41] Ayumi**
Uh, Mayushi—I mean, Shimada Mayu-san
inspired me to become an idol.
**[19:49] Ayumi**
But, uh, my face gets red when I'm nervous.
**[19:53] Ayumi**
I know it's not the best.
**[19:55] Tange**
Hayashi-san, right? Okay.
**[19:57] Tange**
Let's see how you move next.
**[20:06] Tange**
Not bad.
**[20:07] Tange**
Atsugi-san, right?
**[20:09] Tange**
I can tell you look up to I-1 Club.
**[20:12] Otome**
Wow, Acchan!
**[20:14] Ayumi**
You got complimented by a pro.
**[20:16] Itsuka**
Thanks.
**[20:17] Tange**
But, unfortunately,
you're not friendly enough.
**[20:20] Tange**
The other two of you are only
so-so at singing and dancing.
**[20:23] Tange**
It'd be tough to take on all three of you.
**[20:26] Otome**
What?
**[20:27] Ayumi**
But...
**[20:28] Itsuka**
I'm out, then.
**[20:30] Otome**
You can't give up, Acchan.
**[20:31] Ayumi**
Yeah. At least take Acchan.
**[20:34] Mayu**
Ma'am.
**[20:36] Ayumi**
M-M-Mayushi?
**[20:38] Tange**
Oh, Mayu. You're here?
**[20:40] Mayu**
I saw them handing out fliers yesterday.
**[20:44] Mayu**
They looked like they were
having fun working hard.
**[20:47] Mayu**
When I performed at Azumabashi, it was
hard, but I enjoyed it more than anything.
**[20:52] Mayu**
Don't you think that feeling's the
most important part of being an idol?
**[20:58] Tange**
Well...
**[21:00] Ayumi**
I tripped when I was handing out fliers.
**[21:05] Ayumi**
It hurt, and it was embarrassing.
**[21:07] Ayumi**
But when I saw the people around me
laughing, it's like it didn't hurt.
**[21:12] Ayumi**
I forgot about the pain.
**[21:15] Ayumi**
I started having fun instead. So...
**[21:19] Tange**
Fine, fine.
**[21:21] Ayumi**
Huh?
**[21:21] Tange**
But you'll be trainees.
**[21:23] Tange**
It'll be on a trial basis.
**[21:26] Ayumi**
You mean...
**[21:27] Otome**
You'll hire us?
**[21:30] Itsuka**
All right.
**[21:31] Matsuda**
Ma'am, are you sure?
**[21:33] Tange**
It's fine if you think of it as after-
school lessons for middle schoolers.
**[21:36] Tange**
And we can make money off them.
**[21:38] Matsuda**
I knew it.
**[21:42] Tange**
So, starting this month,
these girls are our trainees.
**[21:47] Yoshino**
What? Trainees?
**[21:50] All**
Thanks for having us.

What do you think?
**[01:55] Tange**
I poured so much money into
our advertising expenses that nothing
**[01:59] Tange**
comes out of my wallet
when you shake it upside down.
**[02:01] Matsuda**
This truly is a last-ditch effort.
**[02:04] Tange**
If this fails, I'll have to run away.
**[02:07] Matsuda**
Ma'am?
**[02:07] Tange**
I'm kidding, of course.
**[02:10] Matsuda**
It's not funny when you say it.
**[02:14] Tange**
All we need now is an album.
**[02:16] Tange**
How's it going with Hayasaka-san?
**[02:18] Matsuda**
I'm calling him three times a day.
**[02:20] Tange**
What?
**[02:21] Tange**
Don't tell me you still haven't
got in touch with him.
**[02:24] Matsuda**
I-I've been leaving messages,
but he's ignoring me.
**[02:28] Tange**
You idiot!
**[02:30] Tange**
I told you we need an explosive new single
on our album, so we can sell tickets!
**[02:36] Matsuda**
I-I know that.
**[02:37] Tange**
Then go talk to him!
**[02:43] Matsuda**
*Uh, this is Matsuda of Green Leaves.*

Oh, the trio?

I can't believe we have juniors now.
**[03:25] Nanami**
How can you be so carefree?
**[03:27] Nanami**
They're our future rivals.
**[03:30] Airi**
Ow!
**[03:32] Otome**
Good morning.
**[03:34] Ayumi**
Don't you mean hello?
**[03:36] Itsuka**
In the industry, they say
"Good morning," even at night.
**[03:39] Otome**
Yeah.
**[03:40] Tange**
You're here, amoebas.
**[03:42] Otome**
A-Amoeba?
**[03:44] Ayumi**
Are you talking about us?
**[03:46] Tange**
That's right.
**[03:47] Tange**
You're not even idols-in-training yet.
**[03:52] Itsuka**
I'm not sure that makes us amoebas.
**[03:55] Tange**
Who cares about that?
**[03:57] Tange**
Here.
**[03:58] Ayumi**
Huh?
**[04:01] Matsuda**
Ma'am, are you sure?
**[04:02] Tange**
This will help them build stamina, too.
**[04:05] Matsuda**
What?
**[04:06] Tange**
There's dust there.
**[04:07] Tange**
That wall's dirty.
**[04:09] Tange**
Check carefully under the desks.
**[04:11] All**
Yes, ma'am!
**[04:14] Yoshino**
She's fooling them.
**[04:16] Kaya**
She's so underhanded.
**[04:18] Minami**
Either way, they're working really hard.
**[04:23] Yoshino**
Yeah.
**[04:31] Yoshino**
Is this our set list?
**[04:33] Kaya**
For now. Let's show the president.
**[04:37] Minami**
What a nice bath.
**[04:40] Miyu**
It's nearly time for the tour.
**[04:42] Miyu**
I'm excited.
**[04:43] Airi**
How can we make it our concert?
**[04:46] Minami**
You mean besides singing our hearts out?
**[04:49] Kaya**
Maybe we could entertain
our fans by surprising them.
**[04:54] Yoshino**
Like we did on the bus tour?
**[04:56] Kaya**
Yeah.
**[04:58] Miyu**
What do they call those? Round-ups?
**[05:01] Miyu**
A collection? An anthology?
**[05:04] Mayu**
A compilation?
**[05:06] Miyu**
Yeah, that's it.
**[05:07] Airi**
Welcome back, Mayushi.
**[05:09] Miyu**
Let's show them our very own compilation.
**[05:13] Mayu**
Are you talking about the concert?
**[05:14] Mayu**
In that case...
**[05:15] Mayu**
I have an idea.
**[05:16] Airi**
Mayushi, go ahead.
**[05:17] Mayu**
I thought we could include some acting.
**[05:23] Miyu**
You're such an actress, Mayushi.

*Oh, Mayu. Sorry for suddenly calling.*
**[05:38] Mayu**
It's fine. What's up?
**[05:41] Megumi**
*Well... Shiraki-san made me the captain.*
**[05:46] Mayu**
You?
**[05:48] Megumi**
*Yeah.*
**[05:49] Mayu**
What did Mai say?
**[05:51] Megumi**
*Maimai said she was fine with it.*
**[05:53] Megumi**
* She probably feels responsible*
* for our poor sales recently.*
**[05:57] Mayu**
But it's not her fault.
**[06:00] Megumi**
*Moka's being demoted from center.*
**[06:02] Megumi**
* I have no idea what Shiraki-san*
* is thinking anymore.*
**[06:06] Mayu**
At the very least,
**[06:08] Mayu**
I don't think Shiraki-san would do
anything that isn't good for I-1.
**[06:11] Megumi**
* But he called back the girls*
* from the closed theaters, and said*
**[06:14] Megumi**
*he's forming a new unit.*
**[06:17] Megumi**
*The Hakata theater might be closed, too.*
**[06:20] Megumi**
*What's going to happen to I-1?*
**[06:23] Mayu**
Even Hakata?
**[06:26] Shiho**
Shiraki-san's orders are
absolute when it comes to I-1.
**[06:29] Shiho**
I'll be back.
**[06:31] Aya**
But Shiho-san, you just came back.
**[06:34] Noa**
You're not staying in Tokyo forever, are you?
**[06:36] Hinako**
Is Next Storm going away?
**[06:39] Shiho**
Of course not.

Listen to this. Unbelievably enough...
**[06:59] Matsuda**
We got a commercial job!
**[07:01] Matsuda**
It's for the supermarket, Nyaon!
**[07:02] All**
What?
**[07:03] Minami**
I've heard of Nyaon.
**[07:04] Minami**
There was one near my house.
**[07:06] Airi**
That's that big supermarket
chain with the cat logo, right?
**[07:09] Kaya**
Aren't they a national chain?
**[07:11] Kaya**
I don't believe it.
**[07:12] Tange**
It's local to Sendai, of course.
**[07:14] Kaya**
Of course.
**[07:16] Matsuda**
But they do online deliveries,
so our fans across the country will see it.
**[07:19] Tange**
That's right. There's even an event.
**[07:22] Mayu**
An event?
**[07:23] Tange**
Yeah. They want to hold a charity concert
with you, the commercial actors.
**[07:28] Kaya**
A charity?
**[07:30] Kaya**
That sounds nice.
**[07:32] Yoshino**
And we haven't done
an event together in a while.
**[07:34] Miyu**
Let's get to it!
**[07:37] All**
Yeah!
**[07:39] Minami**
Smiley, smiley. Cat, cat.
**[07:41] Minami**
Everyone knows Nyaon.
**[07:42] Both**
Even when you fight, it's still fun at Nyaon.
**[07:46] Airi**
Even when you're crying,
you're still happy at Nyaon.
**[07:49] Mayu**
Become who you want to be with Nyaon.
**[07:53] Yoshino**
Every fifth of the month...
**[07:54] Kaya**
Is Nyaon day.
**[07:56] All**
Let's all go to Nyaon.
**[07:59] All**
Yeah!
**[08:01] Matsuda**
Quit messing around and start your lessons.
**[08:05] All**
Okay.
**[08:07] Airi**
Acting in a commercial
makes me feel like a celebrity.
**[08:11] Nanami**
Like a celebrity?
**[08:13] Nanami**
We're idols. We're already celebrities.
**[08:16] Airi**
You're right.
**[08:17] Minami**
The seniors are excited to see it, too.
**[08:20] Yoshino**
Yeah. I'm glad so many
people will get to see it.
**[08:23] Miyu**
What are we going to do
**[08:24] Miyu**
if we get so popular that we can't walk
around town without being recognized?
**[08:27] Miyu**
I need to buy sunglasses.
**[08:29] Kaya**
You're getting ahead of yourselves.
**[08:31] Nanami**
Mayushi, have you been in one before?
**[08:34] Mayu**
Yeah, when I was in I-1.
**[08:36] Mayu**
It was a commercial
for a carbonated beverage.
**[08:38] Mayu**
There were so many retakes,
my stomach started to gurgle.
**[08:42] Kaya**
Oh, I bet food commercials are hard.
**[08:44] Kaya**
Minyami would like that, though.
**[08:46] Minami**
Of course I'd love it.
**[08:48] Minami**
It's tasty, meow!
**[08:49] Matsuda**
Sheesh...
**[08:59] Shiraki**
That's enough.
**[09:03] Shiraki**
There's not much time before the members
for the center unit are chosen.
**[09:07] Shiraki**
Stay on your toes,
so you're not caught off guard.
**[09:12] Shiraki**
Now repeat after me.
**[09:14] Shiraki**
Don't rest! Don't complain! Don't think!
**[09:17] All**
Don't rest! Don't complain! Don't think!
**[09:20] Shiraki**
Gratitude, always!
**[09:21] All**
Gratitude, always!
**[09:32] Shiraki**
I'm thinking of closing
the Hakata theater soon.
**[09:36] Shiraki**
Keep that in mind.
**[09:38] Shiho**
I can't accept this!
**[09:39] Shiho**
I... I can handle both!
**[09:42] Shiho**
I'll prove it to you!
**[09:43] Shiraki**
It's not a question of what
you can do as an individual.
**[09:46] Shiraki**
It's for the future of I-1 Club.
**[09:50] Shiho**
The future?
**[09:51] Shiraki**
I've heard there have been a lot of empty
seats at the Hakata theater recently.
**[09:55] Shiho**
I...
**[09:56] Shiraki**
That's what it means
to fail to produce results.
**[09:59] Shiraki**
If you're not in demand,
you're not making anyone happy.
**[10:03] Shiho**
What's going to happen to Next Storm?
**[10:06] Shiraki**
That's not for you to worry about.
**[10:16] Kaya**
Should we head straight home?
**[10:18] Yoshino**
I wanted to stop by Bijou, but I'll wait.
**[10:22] Airi**
What's wrong, Myu?
**[10:23] Miyu**
I need to stop by the office.
**[10:25] Miyu**
I need to pick up some materials

**[10:29] Miyu**
See you later.
**[10:30] Yoshino**
Okay. See you later.
**[10:39] Tange**
How are ticket sales?
**[10:41] Matsuda**
Still the same.
**[10:43] Tange**

**[11:10] Airi**
We're still nowhere near I-1.
**[11:12] Minami**
We'll be okay.
**[11:13] Minami**
Our commercial will air.
**[11:16] Kaya**
But it's local.
**[11:18] Yoshino**
I'll ask the president about it.
**[11:20] Miyu**
What? Seriously?
**[11:22] Airi**
Are you sure we should be asking her?
**[11:24] Airi**
Right, Mayushi?
**[11:26] Mayu**
Yeah. The president will tell us
herself if she thinks it's necessary.
**[11:30] Yoshino**
But it's about us.
**[11:33] Nanami**
Yeah. We have a right to know.
**[11:36] Kaya**
But there are some things you shouldn't know.
**[11:39] Yoshino**
Now that we know, it can't be helped.
**[11:41] Yoshino**
I'm going to ask.
**[11:49] Tange**
Are you stupid?
**[11:51] Tange**
If you have time to ask that, you should be
spending that time on your lessons.
**[11:56] Yoshino**
But—
**[11:56] Tange**
Just go.
**[11:58] Tange**
If you keep complaining, I'll cut your pay.
**[12:02] Tange**
What are you doing, you idiot?
**[12:04] Matsuda**
Who? Me?
**[12:06] Tange**
Yes, you!
**[12:07] Tange**
Why are you making them worry?
**[12:09] Matsuda**
Huh?
**[12:10] Tange**
All they need to think about
is making the concert a success.
**[12:13] Tange**
Selling tickets is our job!
**[12:17] Matsuda**
Y-Yes, ma'am.
**[12:19] Kaya**
Despite what the president said...
**[12:21] Miyu**
I'm still worried.
**[12:26] Yoshino**
I've made a decision.
**[12:27] Minami**
Yoppi?
**[12:29] Yoshino**
A commercial is only 15 seconds long,
but a lot of people see them, right?
**[12:33] Mayu**
Yeah.
**[12:34] Yoshino**
Let's plan on bringing
all of them to our tour.
**[12:37] Miyu**
What? Yoppi, what's gotten into you?
**[12:39] Mayu**
She's right.
**[12:40] Mayu**
There should be a lot of people
just in Sendai who don't know who we are.
**[12:44] Minami**
Oh, right.
**[12:45] Minami**
If everyone in Sendai comes,
we should be able to fill the stadium.
**[12:49] Nanami**
Yeah, but how are we going to do that?
**[12:53] Airi**
Show the best versions
of ourselves, so everyone
**[12:56] Airi**
who sees the commercial will
become a fan in just 15 seconds?
**[12:58] Kaya**
It's not about can or can't.
**[13:00] Kaya**
It's about what we're prepared to do.
**[13:02] Kaya**
Why not? Let's do it.
**[13:05] Nanami**
Fine. After all, we are professionals.

**[13:25] Coach**
But...
**[13:26] Airi**
Please. I fell behind a beat at the end.
**[13:30] Otome**
Ai-chan-san fell behind?
**[13:33] Ayumi**
I couldn't tell.
**[13:35] Coach**
Music, please.
**[13:36] Itsuki**
Okay.
***SIGN*** Seats
***SIGN*** Wing
***SIGN*** Escalators
***SIGN*** Stage
**[13:43] Yoshino**
Nothing's hidden on this stage, right?
**[13:47] Coach**
Yeah, since it's a temporary stage.
**[13:49] Mayu**
In that case, could we
cut the first formation
**[13:52] Mayu**
and enter the stage from
either side of the audience?
**[13:55] Coach**
I see.
**[13:57] Coach**
We'll have to work with security to do that.
**[14:00] Yoshino**
We'd prefer that, if possible.
**[14:02] Yoshino**
I think it would be
more enjoyable for the fans.
**[14:05] Otome**
WUG is amazing.
**[14:07] Otome**
They're like professionals.
**[14:08] Ayumi**
Yeah. They're thinking
about all kinds of things.
**[14:12] Itsuka**
Of course.
**[14:13] Minami**
Smiley, smiley. Cat, cat.
**[14:15] Minami**
Everyone knows Nyaon.
**[14:16] Both**
Even when you fight, it's still fun at Nyaon.
**[14:20] Airi**
Even when you're crying,
you're still happy at Nyaon.
**[14:28] Yoshino**
Hello, every-Nyaon.
**[14:31] Kaya**
We are...
**[14:32] All**
Wake Up, Girls!
**[14:33] All**
Thanks for having us!

**[15:26] Matsuda**
Good work, girls.
**[15:28] Matsuda**
That was great.
**[15:29] Matsuda**
Take a towel.
**[15:33] Minami**
One, two, three, go!
**[15:36] Airi**
Yoppi, is something wrong?
**[15:40] Yoshino**
I noticed something during the concert.
**[15:42] Airi**
Huh? What was it?
**[15:44] Yoshino**
There were people staring at their smart
phones the whole time instead of at the stage.
**[15:48] Airi**
Huh?
**[15:50] Yoshino**
They probably came with someone else.
**[15:52] Miyu**
What? Kayatan, did you see them?
**[15:54] Kaya**
No.
**[15:55] Nanami**
I had no idea either.
**[15:57] Minami**
Me neither.
**[15:59] Yoshino**
I said the other day we'd make
them pay attention in 15 seconds,
**[16:03] Yoshino**
but now I'm not feeling so confident.
**[16:05] Kaya**
When you consider
**[16:06] Kaya**
we couldn't even capture the attention
of everyone in the audience...
**[16:10] Nanami**
How many people who see our
commercial will become our fans?
**[16:16] Yoshino**
Are we making progress?
**[16:21] Mayu**
I understand how you feel.
**[16:23] Mayu**
But we have to believe we're making
progress and take one step at a time.
**[16:30] Yoshino**
You're right.

Since you need a new song, I'm sending you one.
However, there's one condition.
Those little potatoes...
**[17:43] Tange**
Your president's orders
should be your top priority!
**[17:47] Tange**
You need to come up with
lyrics for your new song!
**[17:50] Yoshino**
What? Uh, ma'am...
**[17:52] Nanami**
What do you mean?
**[17:54] Tange**
That fickle man is
up to his fickle tricks again.
**[17:59] [Messenger] TEXT**
However, there's one condition.
Those little potatoes have to write the lyrics.
If they're somehow able to come up with suitable lyrics,
you're free to use this song.
**[18:03] Miyu**
This is kind of nice.
**[18:05] Kaya**
Hayasaka-san writes songs like this, too?
**[18:07] Yoshino**
We're supposed to write lyrics for this?
**[18:10] Tange**
Yes.
**[18:11] Airi**
Can we do that?
**[18:15] Member A**
Hey!
**[18:16] Member B**
What are you doing, Hayasaka?
**[18:17] Hayasaka**
These are terrible.
**[18:19] Hayasaka**
They're not right for this song.
**[18:20] Member A**
I've had enough of—
**[18:22] Hayasaka**
I've had enough. I'm out.
**[18:24] Member B**
You mean we're not releasing a single?
**[18:26] Hayasaka**
It means I'm done with you.
**[18:29] Hayasaka**
I'll write lyrics for this.
***SIGN*** TasK'ill Suddenly Disbands!!

**[18:51] AD**
Okay, good.
**[18:53] AD**
Take a break.
**[18:56] Yoshino**
So, how are the lyrics coming along?
**[18:59] Kaya**
I tried coming up with some.
**[19:01] Nanami**
But I can't bring my thoughts together.
**[19:04] Miyu**
This is crazy.
**[19:06] Miyu**
We can't suddenly
come up with lyrics for a song.
**[19:09] Mayu**
It's not good enough
for us to just do what we can.
**[19:14] Yoshino**
It's not about can or can't.
**[19:16] Yoshino**
This is what we have to do.
**[19:19] Mayu**
Yeah.
**[19:20] Nanami**
It's true that Hayasaka-san
has given us a chance.
**[19:24] Kaya**
And won't this make a good
surprise for our fans?
**[19:28] Miyu**
You're right.
**[19:31] Yoshino**
But we can't do it on our own.
**[19:33] Yoshino**
I know.
***SIGN*** Green Leaves
**[19:37] Anna**
Huh? How to write lyrics?
**[19:39] Yoshino**
Yes, please.
**[19:44] Karina**
We're happy to help, but...
**[19:45] Anna**
There's no technique for us to teach you.
**[19:49] Yoshino**
What?
**[19:51] Karina**
The most important part of writing lyrics
is the message you're trying to convey.
**[19:55] Mayu**
Our message?
**[19:57] Minami**
Like world peace and everyone getting along?
**[20:00] Kaya**
Those are the same thing.
**[20:03] Yoshino**
The message behind our lyrics, huh?
**[20:05] Airi**
Come to think of it,
I've never really thought about it.
**[20:10] Anna**
You don't need to think so hard.
**[20:13] Anna**
Once you decide on that,
I'm sure you'll find the right words.
**[20:17] Mayu**
You think?
**[20:19] Karina**
Anyway, could we see how
your lessons are coming along?
**[20:30] Airi**
Huh?
**[20:31] Minami**
It's Ayumi-chan and her friends.
**[20:40] Otome**
Wh-Why are you here?
**[20:41] Ayumi**
Uh, um, I...
**[20:43] Itsuka**
H-Hello...
**[20:45] Yoshino**
Hello. Were you practicing?
**[20:46] Ayumi**
Uh, yes.
**[20:49] Kaya**
Good for you.
**[20:50] Ayumi**
What? T-T-Twin?
**[20:53] Itsuka**
Anna-san and Karina-san?
**[20:55] Anna**
Hello.
**[20:56] Karina**
Are these the juniors we've heard about?
**[20:58] Mayu**
Yes.
**[21:00] Kaya**
What is it, Minyami?
**[21:02] Minami**
I figured it out.
**[21:03] Minami**
They're from the *Let's Dance* video.
**[21:06] Ayumi**
Y-Yes, actually.
**[21:08] Otome**
I'm overjoyed you saw it.
**[21:11] Airi**
Were you on the bus tour, too?
**[21:14] Itsuka**
Yes.
**[21:15] Ayumi**
Sorry.
**[21:17] Kaya**
Why are you apologizing?
**[21:18] Kaya**
I'm actually happy.
**[21:20] Yoshino**
I'm sorry we didn't notice.
**[21:22] Karina**
You're WUG fans?
**[21:25] Itsuka**
Actually, I'm an I-1—
**[21:27] Otome**
Yes, of course.
**[21:28] Karina**
How nice.
**[21:30] Karina**
They remind me of when WUG was just starting.
**[21:33] Yoshino**
What? You should forget about that already.
**[21:37] Karina**
That scrunchy...
**[21:39] Anna**
You made new ones?
**[21:41] Minami**
Yeah. Yoppi made them for us.
**[21:45] Ayumi**
It's like all the colors come together
to create a single beautiful pattern.
**[21:50] Yoshino**
Huh?
**[21:53] Ayumi**
Oh, sorry. That was weird.
**[21:55] Yoshino**
No, it's fine.
**[21:56] Yoshino**
In fact, I think we could use—
**[21:59] [Messenger] TEXT**
Hayasaka Tasuku's Mysterious Trip To America!
Is He Staying There To Work?
**[22:00] Yoshino**
Huh? Is this...?
**[23:44] Right**
What kind of words would
you include in your lyrics?
**[23:47] Right**
I've gotta go with "love."
**[23:48] Middle**
I'd include "smile," I guess.
**[23:51] Middle**
How about you, Acchan?
**[23:52] Left**
"Enduring hardships to achieve one's goals."
**[23:53] Right**
An entire phrase?

Is this everyone for today?
**[01:46] Airi**
Mayushi and Minyami said they have work.
**[01:51] Kaya**
What about Myu and Nanamin?
**[01:56] Miyu**
You're already here.
**[01:59] Yoshino**
Myu, you're late.
**[02:01] Yoshino**
I told you we were meeting at 8:00.
**[02:03] Miyu**
Work ran late.
**[02:05] Kaya**
Okay, okay.
**[02:07] Airi**
Nanamin's late, too.
**[02:09] Yoshino**
Yeah. She's supposed to be coming today.
**[02:12] Nanami**
I-It's an emergency!
**[02:15] Miyu**
She's here.
**[02:17] Yoshino**
If you're going to be late, you could tell—
**[02:19] Nanami**
It's an emergency!
**[02:20] Nanami**
Listen to this!
**[02:21] Kaya**
What? What happened?
**[02:23] Nanami**
W-Well, I... I...
**[02:25] Airi**
Nanamin, are you okay?
**[02:27] Miyu**
Try to calm down first, Nanamin.
**[02:36] Nanami**
I got the job!
**[02:37] Miyu**
At Hikarizuka?
**[02:39] Nanami**
No, the Singer Sister job!
**[02:44] Yoshino**
That's it?
**[02:45] Nanami**
What does that mean?
**[02:46] Airi**
Congratulations, Nanamin.
**[02:48] Airi**
That's great.
**[02:49] Airi**
Right, guys?
**[02:50] Yoshino**
Yeah, of course.
**[02:54] Nanami**
Thanks...
**[02:57] Kaya**
But that'll make it even harder
for all of us to get together.
**[03:00] Nanami**
Seriously? Come on!

**[03:05] Miyu**
We'll make our message heard.
**[03:07] Yoshino**
I know this is obvious,
but I'd like a theme that's very "us."
**[03:10] Kaya**
Yeah. So, what does WUG make you think of?
**[03:13] Airi**
Um... Sendai.
**[03:14] Minami**
And Sendai reminds me of... beef tongue.
**[03:17] Kaya**
That's not what I meant.

**[03:18] Minami**
Mashed soybeans, then.
**[03:19] Yoshino**
No, no.
**[03:20] Minami**
I know. Sea squirts.
**[03:21] Kaya**
Minyami, let's move away from foods.
**[03:25] Miyu**
Sendai reminds me of... Date Masamune?
**[03:28] Airi**
Aoba Castle?
**[03:30] Yoshino**
You're just playing a word association game.
**[03:32] Minami**
I know, but it's hard.
**[03:35] Airi**
I wonder why Hayasaka-san suddenly
left for America, though.
**[03:40] Yoshino**
We already know he's
impossible to understand.
**[03:44] Miyu**
And it was selfish of him
to demand we write the lyrics.
**[03:47] Minami**
Will he really give us that song?
**[03:50] Kaya**
Maybe he's given it to someone else
too like he did with "Ultimate Smile."
**[03:54] Miyu**
What? No way!
**[03:57] Mayu**
I'm home.
**[03:58] Minami**
Mayushi, welcome back.
**[04:01] Airi**
We were just discussing the lyrics.
**[04:03] Mayu**
Okay. I'll go get changed.
**[04:08] Minami**
So, are we going with friendship?
**[04:11] Yoshino**
I'd prefer positive lyrics.
**[04:13] Kaya**
Of course.
**[04:14] Kaya**
We can't sing about the end of the world.
**[04:18] Airi**
Mayushi, what do you...
**[04:20] Airi**
Huh?
**[04:24] Kaya**
Mayushi's asleep.
**[04:26] Yoshino**
What? Hey, Mayushi.
**[04:28] Kaya**
Let her sleep.
**[04:31] Yoshino**
Fine.
**[04:40] Recording D**
Let's try harmonizing here.
**[04:42] Recording D**
Minami and Nanami.
**[04:45] Recording D**
Minami, can you handle the lower harmony?
**[04:46] Minami**
Okay.
**[04:48] Nanami**
I can do it, too.
**[04:50] Recording D**
But Minami's voice is steadier.
**[04:54] Nanami**
What?
**[04:54] Recording D**
Minami, that's the score.
**[04:56] Recording D**
Try singing some.
**[04:57] Minami**
As we move forward...
**[05:00] Recording D**
Excellent as always.
**[05:01] Recording D**
Okay, now together.
**[05:03] Both**
As we move forward...
**[05:08] Minami**
Thanks for the food.
**[05:13] Minami**
That's tasty, meow!
**[05:16] Show D**
Okay, good.
**[05:18] Minami**
Thank you.
**[05:20] Show D**
Oh, right. About next week's guest...
**[05:23] Minami**
Yes?
**[05:24] Show D**
It's going to be Sorami Yuri-san.
**[05:26] Minami**
Sorami-san? Uh...
**[05:28] Show D**
She's a former Hikarizuka star.
**[05:31] Minami**
Oh, right.
**[05:32] Show D**
She's a big deal, so try not to offend her.
**[05:35] Minami**
Okay.
**[05:45] Nanami**
Gather round, everyone.
**[05:49] Nanami**
H-Hey, don't do that.
**[05:51] Kid A**

**[05:53] Nanami**
Hey!
**[05:55] Nanami**
Are you okay?
**[05:59] Nanami**
Jeez!
**[06:04] Minami**
Nanamin, is that the script
for *With Big Sister*?
**[06:09] Nanami**
Yeah.
**[06:10] Minami**
Lucky.
**[06:11] Minami**
Playing with little kids for work sounds fun.
**[06:15] Nanami**
What are you talking about?
**[06:16] Nanami**
It's a job.
**[06:18] Minami**
Y-You don't have to get so mad...
**[06:21] Minami**
Nanamin, do you know Sorami Yuri-san?
**[06:24] Nanami**
Sorami-san the former Hikarizuka star?
**[06:27] Minami**
Yeah, she's next week's guest.
**[06:30] Minami**
I was hoping you could
tell me what she's like.
**[06:34] Nanami**
Are you bragging?
**[06:36] Minami**
What? I'm not bragging.
**[06:39] Nanami**
You know, you're lucky all you
have to do is eat at your job.
**[06:44] Minami**
I-It's hard for me, too.
**[06:47] Minami**
I have to practice harmonizing.
**[06:49] Nanami**
You're bragging again?
**[06:50] Nanami**
Why? I said I'm not bragging!
**[06:59] Yoshino**
Is that someone from
Hikarizuka? In that case—
**[07:01] Minami**
I'm not asking Nanamin!
**[07:07] Kaya**
They haven't been getting along lately.
**[07:10] Yoshino**
Yeah. The tour's coming up, too.
**[07:13] Kaya**
Yoppi, you're scowling.
**[07:15] Kaya**
Are you okay?
**[07:17] Yoshino**
Huh? Is it that bad?
**[07:20] Yoshino**
Let's start by confirming our priorities.

**[07:26] Kaya**
Come to think of it, there used
to be a lot more written on here.
**[07:31] Kaya**
Now all that's on it is when garbage day is.
**[07:34] Yoshino**
You're right.
**[07:35] Yoshino**
A board, huh?
**[07:39] Yoshino**
I understand everyone's busy,
but the tour is soon.
**[07:43] Yoshino**
We need to get our RCD together.
**[07:45] Minami**
RCD? Recordable compact disk?
**[07:48] Kaya**
No. Report, communicate, discuss.
**[07:51] Kaya**
Together, they're RCD.
**[07:52] Yoshino**
That's right. You know
the white board in the kitchen?
**[07:55] Yoshino**
Why don't we write
our plans for the day on that?
**[07:58] Yoshino**
Even just the approximate time we'll be home.
**[08:00] Airi**
Good idea.
**[08:02] Mayu**
Yeah. I'm all for it.
**[08:03] Yoshino**
Then we'll adjust our rehearsal times,
so everyone can attend.
**[08:07] Kaya**
We have to discuss the lyrics, too.
**[08:10] Kaya**
We need to manage our time well.
**[08:12] Miyu**
But couldn't we use these for our meetings?
**[08:15] Yoshino**
It's not that we can't,
**[08:17] Yoshino**
but I think it'd be better for us
to work on it together in person.
**[08:20] All**
Yeah.
**[08:22] Yoshino**
In any case, we have to make this concert
one that won't embarrass us.
**[08:26] Yoshino**
We all have this Saturday night off, right?
**[08:29] Yoshino**
Let's rehearse together then.
**[08:31] All**
Yeah!
**[08:33] Airi**
Sorry to be a downer, but I have work now.
**[08:39] Yoshino**
Huh?
**[08:39] Mayu**
I actually do, too.
**[08:42] Yoshino**
Okay. But we'll definitely
rehearse on Saturday.
**[08:45] Both**
Got it.

It's unfortunate the Idol Festival
won't be held this year.
**[09:38] Ota**
But there's the WUG tour!
**[09:39] Ota**
There's nothing to be sad about!
**[09:43] Tange**
I need a hundred copies of this.
**[09:45] Ayumi**
Yes, ma'am.
**[09:46] Both**
We're back.
**[09:48] Otome**
Welcome back.
**[09:50] Ayumi**
Good work today.
**[09:51] Miyu**
I'm exhausted.
**[09:55] Tange**
You're slovenly, aren't you?
**[09:57] Tange**
You're still young.
**[09:58] Miyu**
Ma'am, I have a suggestion.
**[10:00] Miyu**
How would you feel about
hiring a housekeeper?
**[10:04] Tange**
What? You can't be serious.
**[10:06] Tange**
Don't be a baby.
**[10:07] Miyu**
But at this rate, Ai-chan will collapse.
**[10:11] Miyu**
Lately, everyone's been so busy that
they fall asleep as soon as they get home.
**[10:15] Miyu**
Since Ai-chan's at home the most,
we've been relying on her for everything.
**[10:18] Airi**
I-It's fine.
**[10:20] Airi**
I have a lot of work in Sendai,
so you're right that I'm home the most.
**[10:25] Airi**
I'm not as busy as everyone else.
**[10:29] Miyu**
Th-That's not what I meant.
**[10:34] Ayumi**
Excuse me, ma'am.

I bet their house and rooms are so cute.
**[10:52] Ayumi**
What should I do? I'm so nervous.
**[10:54] Itsuka**
I'm excited.
**[10:57] Airi**
Mayushi, do you have work?
**[10:59] Mayu**
Yeah. I'm going to Tokyo.
***SIGN*** Mayu: Tokyo—Drama commentary recording, returning 18:30

I see. Work hard.
**[11:03] Mayu**
I will. Thanks.
**[11:08] Airi**
Mayushi?
**[11:12] Ayumi**
Huh? Here?
**[11:14] Otome**
I'm pretty sure.
**[11:15] Itsuka**
In that case...
**[11:18] Both**
Coming.
**[11:20] Airi**
Welcome.
**[11:22] Kaya**
Welcome to the Stand Up Dorm.
**[11:31] Otome**
Myu-san, can we clean
everything in this area?
**[11:35] Miyu**
Yeah. Everything that can be wiped off
is grime, so could you wipe it all away?
**[11:41] Otome**
Got it.
**[11:43] Ayumi**
Where's Mayushi-san today?
**[11:46] Airi**
She has work in Tokyo.
**[11:48] Airi**
She'll be back around...
**[11:49] Airi**
When was it?
**[11:52] Airi**
I think it's written on the board.
**[11:55] Ayumi**
I'll go check.
**[11:58] Ayumi**
Huh?
**[12:03] Otome**
Hayamaru, a cat. There's a cat.
**[12:05] Ayumi**
What? Where?
**[12:06] Ayumi**
You're right.
**[12:12] Ayumi**
There's so much stuff.
**[12:20] Mayu**
I love the line "dreaming the same dream."
**[12:24] Mayu**
I feel like there's a lot
of meaning behind it.
**[12:28] Murashita**
And you, Iwasaki-san?
**[12:32] Shiho**
Oh, right. My character, Mitsuki,
falls in love with Igarashi-kun, and...
**[12:39] Matsuda**
Yes. Understood.
**[12:42] Matsuda**
I'll head there now.
**[12:45] Mayu**
Matsuda-san?
**[12:46] Matsuda**
Sorry. I need to stop by somewhere.
**[12:49] Matsuda**
Can we meet at Tokyo Station later?
**[12:51] Mayu**
Sure, that's fine.
**[12:52] Matsuda**
Sorry.
**[12:58] Mayu**
Shiho?
**[13:01] Mayu**
I heard you're in Tokyo now.
**[13:04] Shiho**
You know.
**[13:06] Mayu**
Megumi told me.
**[13:09] Shiho**
I see.
**[13:11] Mayu**
Did something happen?
**[13:15] Mayu**
It's okay. I won't tell anyone.
**[13:19] Shiho**
Shiraki-san's telling me to quit Next Storm.
**[13:23] Mayu**
What?
**[13:25] Shiho**
I know I can't stop I-1 from changing.
**[13:29] Shiho**
But... I don't want to lose it.
**[13:33] Mayu**
Shiho.
**[13:35] Shiho**
They're important to me.
**[13:37] Shiho**
We build it up from nothing.
**[13:40] Shiho**
We're just getting started, but...
**[13:44] Mayu**
I understand.
**[13:47] Shiho**
I know it took me long enough,
**[13:50] Shiho**
but I think I finally understand
how you felt when you quit I-1.
**[14:04] Kaya**
What did Matsuda-san say?
**[14:06] Yoshino**
She still hasn't shown up yet.
**[14:08] Minami**
I wonder what happened to Mayushi.
**[14:11] Airi**
I think she was supposed to be done by 6:30.
**[14:14] Nanami**
Really? Are you sure?
**[14:17] Miyu**
Well, the evidence has been erased now.
**[14:20] Kaya**
That's your fault.
**[14:22] Airi**
I'm pretty sure.
**[14:24] Airi**
Besides, it wasn't just her plans...
**[14:29] [Messenger] TEXT**
Sorry!
I missed my stop on the bullet train...
I should be getting there after 8:00.
**[14:30] Airi**
Mayushi.
**[14:40] Mayu**
Sorry I'm late.
**[14:44] Yoshino**
Could you tell us why?
**[14:49] Mayu**
Um, I was careless.
**[14:52] Yoshino**
Careless?
**[14:53] Yoshino**
Didn't we say we'd rehearse today?
**[14:56] Mayu**
I'm sorry.
**[14:59] Yoshino**
We're wasting time.
**[15:01] Yoshino**
Let's get started.
**[15:06] Yoshino**
That's enough for today.
**[15:08] Kaya**
Yeah.
**[15:09] All**
Good work.
**[15:11] All**
Good work.
**[15:13] Airi**
Mayushi, where's your scrunchy?
**[15:15] Mayu**
Huh?
**[15:16] Mayu**
What? Where is it?
**[15:19] Mayu**
It's not here.
**[15:23] Mayu**
Huh?
**[15:25] Mayu**
It's missing. Why?
**[15:27] Airi**
I didn't see it around here.
**[15:29] Mayu**
I'll try searching the lesson room tomorrow.
**[15:32] Airi**
Want me to go with you?
**[15:33] Mayu**
Thanks, but don't you
have work in the afternoon?
**[15:37] Mayu**
I'll be fine.
**[15:43] Ayumi**
Mayushi-san.
**[15:45] Ayumi**
What are you doing here?
**[15:47] Mayu**
Have you seen a scrunchy?
**[15:49] Otome**
You mean that scrunchy?
**[15:51] Mayu**
Yeah, the same one everyone else has.
**[15:53] Itsuka**
I didn't see it when we were cleaning.
**[15:57] Mayu**
I see.
**[15:59] Ayumi**
Um...
**[16:05] Mayu**
It was my fault.
**[16:07] Mayu**
I'm sorry for what I did.
**[16:09] Ayumi**
Mayushi-san.
**[16:14] Ayumi**
Why don't you let us handle it?
**[16:23] Cameraman**
Could you face this way
and look into the camera?
**[16:27] Cameraman**
Nanase-san, are you tired?
**[16:29] Yoshino**
Sorry.
**[16:31] Cameraman**
Yoshikawa-san, let's go.
**[16:33] Megumi**
Yes. Thank you.
**[16:36] Cameraman**
Nice expression.
**[16:38] Cameraman**
Hold that and look into the lens.
**[16:40] Megumi**
Thanks for today.
**[16:42] Megumi**
This is our first time having
a proper conversation, isn't it?
**[16:45] Yoshino**
Yeah.
**[16:48] Megumi**
Mayu calls me sometimes.
**[16:52] Yoshino**
I see.
**[16:53] Megumi**
Come to think of it, last time she was
in Tokyo, I heard she talked to Shiho.
**[17:02] Yoshino**
Huh?
**[17:06] Airi**
What? The scrunchy?
**[17:08] Ayumi**
Yeah. Mayushi-san said it must be here.
**[17:11] Otome**
We'd like to look for it.
**[17:14] Itsuka**
Please.
**[17:16] Airi**
Thanks. Please do.
**[17:26] Otome**
I can't find it anywhere.
**[17:28] Itsuka**
Maybe she dropped it somewhere else.
**[17:31] Ayumi**
But...
**[17:35] Ayumi**
Is that...?
**[17:39] Ayumi**
It's not it. It's a handkerchief.
**[17:44] Ayumi**
Maybe...
**[17:50] Yoshino**
You know I hate it when people
keep secrets from me, don't you?
**[17:53] Mayu**
Huh?
**[17:55] Yoshino**
Why didn't you explain why you were late?
**[17:57] Yoshino**
Is I-1 more important to you?
**[18:00] Mayu**
No. It's not like that.
**[18:02] Airi**
Yoppi, calm down.
**[18:05] Yoshino**
Where's your scrunchy?
**[18:06] Mayu**
Huh?
**[18:07] Yoshino**
You haven't been wearing it.
**[18:10] Mayu**
Sorry, I—
**[18:12] Yoshino**
This is an important time for WUG.
**[18:14] Yoshino**
Why?
**[18:16] Mayu**
Yoppi.
**[18:17] Kaya**
I'll go.
**[18:23] Yoshino**
Sorry. I'm supposed to be the leader.
**[18:26] Kaya**
You can't help it.
**[18:28] Kaya**
I didn't know how to take it either.
**[18:31] Yoshino**
Kaya.
**[18:33] Kaya**
Mayushi seems strong,
but she actually depends on us.
**[18:39] Yoshino**
Depends on us? Mayushi does?
**[18:42] Kaya**
But I think it means she trusts us.
**[18:46] Kaya**
And we rely on her, too.
**[18:50] Kaya**
We all do it.
**[18:52] Yoshino**
You're right.
**[18:56] Ayumi**
I found it. I found it!
**[18:59] Kaya**
What happened to your face?
**[19:01] Ayumi**
Well, actually...
**[19:05] Yoshino**
What? The cat?
**[19:07] Ayumi**
Yeah. He scratched me.
**[19:10] Kaya**
I see. So Zunda was the scrunchy thief.
**[19:14] Airi**
That must've been difficult.
**[19:17] Mayu**
Thanks for finding it, though.
**[19:20] Mayu**
I'm glad.
**[19:22] Mayu**
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
**[19:25] Yoshino**
Huh? Mayushi, don't cry.
**[19:28] Yoshino**
I'm sorry, too.
**[19:33] Mayu**
Shiho is me.
**[19:37] Yoshino**
What?
**[19:38] Mayu**
Before I met you, I didn't
have anyone on my side.
**[19:42] Mayu**
She's like me when I didn't
have anyone to ask for help
**[19:45] Mayu**
and couldn't protect the
people I wanted to protect.
**[19:48] Airi**
Mayushi.
**[19:50] Yoshino**
I see.
**[19:52] Airi**
Yoppi, Mayushi does
everything she can for WUG.
**[19:58] Yoshino**
Ai-chan.
**[19:59] Airi**
She wasn't just writing
her schedule on the board.
**[20:02] Airi**
She also wrote stuff about
singing parts and lyrics.
**[20:07] Airi**
Right?
**[20:08] Mayu**
It was the least I could do.
**[20:10] Yoshino**
What? I'd like to see that.
**[20:12] Airi**
Well, Ayumi-chan and her friends
erased it while they were cleaning.
**[20:17] Itsuka**
I'm sorry. I erased it.
**[20:19] Miyu**
But I'm the one who told them to do it.
**[20:22] Miyu**
I'm sorry.
**[20:24] Airi**
I've been thinking.
**[20:25] Airi**
From now on, why don't we write
in a shared journal instead?
**[20:30] Miyu**
Like an exchange diary?
**[20:33] Airi**
Yeah. If we write down our thoughts,
then we can go back and read them anytime.

Sorry we're late.
**[20:46] Minami**
We stopped by Bijou.
**[20:48] Miyu**
Just the two of you? No fair.
**[20:51] Nanami**
What's going on?
**[20:52] Kaya**
What's going on with you?
**[20:54] Kaya**
When did you two make up?
**[20:56] Nanami**
Oh, you know. Thanks to her,
my work went well.
**[20:59] Minami**
Yeah.
**[21:00] Miyu**
What does that mean?
**[21:03] Nanami**
I tried copying Minyami on *With Big Sister*.
**[21:06] Nanami**
I smiled like she does.
**[21:08] Minami**
Me, too.
**[21:09] Minami**
Nanamin taught me how to talk to someone
from Hikarizuka, and my job went well.
**[21:16] Nanami**
So we got each other something.
**[21:19] Both**
Yeah.
**[21:20] Kaya**
Really? You've matured.
**[21:25] Airi**
Yoppi?
**[21:26] Yoshino**
Isn't this what WUG is about?
**[21:29] Mayu**
The theme of our lyrics?
**[21:31] Yoshino**
Yeah. Individually we're weak and lacking,
**[21:35] Yoshino**
but we become stronger through
influencing each other.
**[21:39] Mayu**
Influencing each other...
**[21:41] Mayu**
I like that.
**[21:42] Airi**
Mayushi, aren't you and
Shiho-san the same way?
**[21:45] Mayu**
Huh? Oh.
**[21:47] Mayu**
Yeah, maybe.
**[21:49] Kaya**
I wish we could be that way
with everyone we've met.
**[21:53] Miyu**
It's... it's so wonderful.
**[21:56] Nanami**
We haven't even finished the lyrics yet.
**[21:58] Nanami**
It's too soon to cry.
**[22:00] Minami**
In other words, we should all be friends.
**[22:05] Yoshino**
You're right.
**[22:07] Yoshino**
Let's do our best to prepare for the tour.
**[22:09] All**
Yeah!
**[23:44] Right**
Let's play a word association game.

**[03:33] Mayu**
New buds?

What does that mean?
**[03:37] Miyu**
More hints, please!
**[03:43] Tange**
What? Try again?
**[03:45] Yoshino**
Yes...
**[03:46] Tange**
What day is it today?
**[03:49] Kaya**
Uh, November 2nd?
**[03:51] Tange**
That's right.
**[03:53] Tange**
Now look at this!
**[03:54] Tange**
The album goes on sale November 10th.
**[03:57] Tange**
The first day of the tour is the 12th.
**[04:00] Tange**
Do you know what that means?
**[04:01] Yoshino**
It's just over a week away?
**[04:03] Tange**
You don't have a whole week.
**[04:05] Tange**
We need to finish the song as soon
as possible, so it's ready for the tour.
**[04:10] Tange**
Your deadline is the 7th.
**[04:12] Tange**
Got it?
**[04:13] All**
Okay...
**[04:15] Matsuda**
By the way, you'll be even busier starting
tomorrow with work relating to the album.
**[04:19] Airi**
Relating to the album?
**[04:21] Matsuda**
Yeah. First, there's learning the new chorus,
**[04:24] Matsuda**
then the jacket photo shoot,
discussing the liner notes,
**[04:28] Matsuda**
and your second *S Stage* appearance.
**[04:30] Miyu**
What? We're going on *S Stage* again?
**[04:33] Matsuda**
Yeah. The president's still working

**[04:37] Minami**
All right! I'm excited!
**[04:39] Nanami**
This time, I'll do a good

**[04:46] Yoshino**
Good morning.
**[04:48] Yoshino**
Thanks for having me to—
**[04:50] Cameraman**
Hey. Good to see you.
**[04:52] Yoshino**
I-It's good to see you again.
**[04:54] Yoshino**
Are you—
**[04:56] Cameraman**
Yeah. I look forward to working with you.
**[04:58] Mayu**
Yoppi, do you know him?
**[05:00] Yoshino**
Yeah. He's the cameraman who
shot my swimsuit gravure photos.
**[05:05] Minami**
Really? Those cute photos?
**[05:08] Cameraman**
I got an offer from your president.
**[05:11] Cameraman**
I became interested in WUG after working
with Yoshino-chan, so I agreed to do the job.
**[05:16] Yoshino**
Really? Thank you.
**[05:25] Matsuda**
That concludes this meeting.
**[05:29] Matsuda**
We'll write up what we discussed and
send the manuscript over to you to check.
**[05:36] Tagami P**
Got it. Thank you.
**[05:39] Mayu**
Thank you so much for today.
**[05:42] Murashita D**
No, thank you. We had fun.
**[05:45] Mayu**
Thanks for meeting with us even
though I-1 Club did the theme song.
**[05:51] Wada**
I became interested in
Wake Up, Girls! after the drama.
**[05:55] Wada**
I've been following your progress.
**[05:57] Mayu**
What? Really?
**[05:59] Wada**
Yes. Shimada-san introduced me to the group,
**[06:01] Wada**
but I wanted to learn more about all of you.
**[06:03] Wada**
I'm glad you could meet with us today.
**[06:06] All**
Thank you.
**[06:08] Mayu**
We hope you come see our tour.
**[06:10] Wada**
I will.
**[06:16] Heinlein**
Great job, Tasuku.
**[06:18] Heinlein**
You're the fourth best on the US chart.
**[06:22] Hayasaka**
Thanks.
**[06:28] Heinlein**
You've done great.
**[06:30] Hayasaka**
I just made something new to the people.
**[06:32] Hayasaka**
It doesn't really matter
if I did good or not.
**[06:36] Heinlein**
Tasuku, you're way too realistic.
**[06:39] Heinlein**
Does everyone in Japan act like you?
**[06:42] Hayasaka**
I don't care.
**[06:44] Heinlein**
Oh, there's someone I
want to introduce to you.
**[06:47] Hayasaka**
To me?
**[06:49] Heinlein**
Yes. Our honored patron.
**[06:53] Daruma**
* This is our first time speaking*
* directly to each other, Hayasaka-kun.*
**[07:04] Airi**
Wow! This looks great.
**[07:06] Minami**
The album's really coming together.
**[07:08] Yoshino**
Yeah. I'm happy about that, but...
**[07:11] Nanami**
Now we just have to write lyrics
for Hayasaka-san's song.
**[07:14] Miyu**
Ugh, the pressure...
**[07:17] Matsuda**
What? Wait a minute.
**[07:18] Matsuda**
What does that mean?
**[07:20] Matsuda**
But why so suddenly?
**[07:22] Tange**
What's going on?
**[07:24] Matsuda**
One moment, please.
**[07:26] Matsuda**
They're asking us not to appear on *S Stage*...
**[07:31] Tange**
What's the meaning of this? What?
**[07:34] Tange**
Don't mess with me!
**[07:35] Matsuda**
Ow!
**[07:37] Tange**
But why did they suddenly change their minds?
**[07:40] Matsuda**
Why do you have to be
so violent all the time?
**[07:43] Tange**
It's because of that.
**[07:44] Matsuda**
Huh?
**[07:46] Matsuda**
Vdol?
**[07:47] Tange**
Looks like they're actually
sponsoring *S Stage*.
**[07:52] Mayu**
We won't get to be on *S Stage*?
**[07:54] Matsuda**
I know you were looking forward to it. Sorry.
**[07:57] Kaya**
That's fine, but is everything okay?
**[08:00] Tange**
It'll work out.
**[08:06] Tange**
But honestly, not getting to appear
on a key station before the release
**[08:10] Tange**
of our album will be tough.
**[08:18] Hayasaka**
*It's been a while.*
**[08:20] Shiraki**
What do you want?
**[08:22] Shiraki**
Make it quick.
**[08:24] Shiraki**
You must be busy, too.
**[08:25] Hayasaka**
*You're no fun.*
**[08:28] Hayasaka**
*Anyway, it's no big deal.*
**[08:31] Hayasaka**
*I just had a question for you.*
**[08:33] Shiraki**
What is it?
**[08:35] Hayasaka**
* You don't know anything*
* about a daruma, do you?*
**[08:41] Coach**
Focus! You're spacing out!
**[08:44] Yoshino**
Sorry.
**[08:45] Coach**
Make your movements bigger!
**[08:48] Coach**
How far away do you think
the seats in the back are?
**[08:51] All**
Yes, ma'am!
**[08:53] Coach**
It's hard to tell your positions
when all seven of you aren't here.
**[08:56] Coach**
Ayumi, you're Mayu. Otome, you're
Nanami. Itsuka, you're Miyu.
**[09:00] Otome**
What?
**[09:01] Ayumi**
What? You want us to do it?
**[09:04] Kaya**
Good idea.
**[09:05] Minami**
Come on.
**[09:06] Airi**
Help us.
**[09:08] Yoshino**
Please.
**[09:10] Coach**
Come on. Hurry up, you two.
**[09:13] Both**
O-Okay.
**[09:14] Otome**
Th-Thanks for having us.
**[09:16] Airi**
Thanks for helping.
**[09:17] Kaya**
Do you know the choreography?
**[09:19] Ayumi**
I think so.
**[09:22] Kaya**
Then let's start.
**[09:30] Coach**
Okay, good. How was that?
**[09:32] Yoshino**
Perfect.
**[09:34] Yoshino**
It feels way better with all seven parts.
**[09:37] Airi**
Thanks, Ayumi-chan,
Otome-chan, and Itsuka-chan.
**[09:41] Otome**
No problem.
**[09:43] Ayumi**
I'm just glad we were able to help.
**[09:46] Itsuka**
We appreciate the chance to learn.
**[09:48] Otome**
Anyway, I'm sorry.
**[09:50] Otome**
I made a ton of mistakes.
**[09:52] Ayumi**
I'm sorry I was too nervous
to move properly, too.
**[09:56] Airi**
It's okay.
**[09:58] Airi**
I was even worse when we debuted.
**[10:01] Yoshino**
Ai-chan, you've really improved.
**[10:03] Yoshino**
Your hard work has paid off.
**[10:04] Airi**
You think? I'm glad.
**[10:07] Airi**
I was desperate to catch up to the others.
**[10:09] Kaya**
When we started, we were nervous
just standing in front of strangers.
**[10:14] Minami**
Those street concerts were
tough training, but they were fun.
**[10:19] Airi**
Yeah. I feel like they made us bolder.
**[10:22] Kaya**
And little by little,
people learned who we were.
**[10:25] Yoshino**
Oh, right.
**[10:28] Yoshino**
If we can't appear on TV, then...
**[10:33] Tange**
A guerrilla concert?
**[10:34] Yoshino**
Yes. We can do it during our free
time with whoever's available,
**[10:38] Yoshino**
even if it's just one of us.
**[10:39] Kaya**
With the tour coming up,
it'll be hard to get all of us together.
**[10:43] Nanami**
We thought performing in front of
an audience as much as possible could help.
**[10:49] Mayu**
We could perform at parks, parking lots,
or roofs near wherever we're working.
**[10:54] Matsuda**
Don't be ridiculous.
**[10:57] Matsuda**
It made sense when you were unknown,
**[10:58] Matsuda**
but you've started to make
a name for yourselves.
**[11:02] Yoshino**
We know it'll be hard, but we want
to do anything we can to promote the tour.
**[11:07] Yoshino**
Will you let us do it?
**[11:09] Matsuda**
Ma'am, say something.
**[11:12] Tange**
Why not?
**[11:13] Matsuda**
You hear that? Why—
**[11:15] Matsuda**
What?
**[11:17] Tange**
It'll be a chance to test
your strength before the tour.
**[11:20] Tange**
Oh, but I can't pay for anything.
**[11:22] Tange**
You'll have to do it without a budget.
**[11:25] All**
All right!
**[11:26] All**
Thank you!
**[11:27] Matsuda**
What? You're making me handle it?
**[11:34] Mayu**
We're really sorry for springing this on you.
**[11:37] Employee**
It's fine.
**[11:38] Employee**
We didn't have any events today,
so we don't mind.
**[11:41] Mayu**
Thank you.

**[12:20] Nanami**
Okay. I'm nervous, though.
**[12:23] Nanami**
It's been a while.
**[12:24] Mayu**
Me, too.
**[12:25] Nanami**
You, too? Really?
**[12:36] Both**
Hello, every-WUG!
**[12:40] Both**
We're the Wake Up, Girls! traveling group!
**[12:49] Mob A**
What? WUG?
**[12:50] Mob B**
Real idols?
**[12:51] Mob C**
Wow! Look at them dance.
**[12:53] Mob D**
They're not bad for idols.
**[12:55] Mob E**
I kinda want to see
what they're like as a group.
**[12:58] Miyu**
I'll put a stomach hold on your heart.
**[13:01] Miyu**
I'm WUG's soothing crybaby angel
Myu, also known as Okamoto Miyu.
**[13:06] Miyu**
Normally, we operate as seven,
but today I've been sent here on my own.
**[13:12] Miyu**
Thank you.
**[13:15] Miyu**
Wow! This atmosphere is so nostalgic.
**[13:17] Miyu**
I'm accepting all your requests today.
**[13:23] Manager**
Good work, Myu-chan.
**[13:24] Miyu**
Oh, sir. Sorry for asking
to perform on such short notice.
**[13:28] Manager**
It's fine.
**[13:29] Manager**
We're happy to have an actual
working idol perform anytime.
**[13:32] Miyu**
Thank you.
**[13:34] Miyu**
Oh, could I leave these fliers here?
**[13:37] Manager**
Of course.

They're talking about us.
**[13:51] Matsuda**
Ticket sales are turning around, too.
**[13:53] Matsuda**
Little by little, anyway.
**[13:55] Yoshino**
Really?
**[13:56] Matsuda**
Yeah.
**[13:58] Kaya**
Welcome back, ma'am.
**[14:00] Tange**
You girls are here? Welcome back.
**[14:03] Tange**
How did the guerrilla concerts go?
**[14:05] Airi**
They seem to be working.
**[14:07] Yoshino**
Look at this.
**[14:09] Tange**
Really? That's great.
**[14:13] Tange**
So, have you finished writing the lyrics?
**[14:16] Yoshino**
N-Not yet...
**[14:18] Tange**
Do understand that you have a deadline?
**[14:21] Tange**
At this rate, we might have to cut the song.
**[14:23] Yoshino**
We can't do that.
**[14:25] Tange**
What? It's not about can or can't.
**[14:27] Yoshino**
Ma'am.
**[14:28] Tange**
What?
**[14:29] Yoshino**
Please.
**[14:31] Yoshino**
Can't we have a little more time?
**[14:34] Yoshino**
We nearly have it. We're almost there.
**[14:39] Tange**
And you're confident you'll come up
with something you like if we wait?
**[14:43] Yoshino**
Yes. I promise we'll write good lyrics.
**[14:48] Tange**
Two days. That's the most I can extend it.
**[14:50] Matsuda**
President, can we do—
**[14:53] Tange**
Shut up!
**[14:54] Tange**
If it comes down to it, I'll barge
into the factory and stop the presses!
**[14:58] Matsuda**
What? You shouldn't bother them like that.
**[15:01] Yoshino**
Thank you, ma'am.
**[15:03] Tange**
I'm expecting great lyrics from you.
**[15:08] Airi**
Yoppi, that was so cool of you earlier.
**[15:11] Kaya**
Yeah. Way to go, leader.
**[15:13] Kaya**
So, what kind of lyrics are they?
**[15:15] Yoshino**
Huh?
**[15:16] Kaya**
You told the president you nearly had it.
**[15:19] Yoshino**
Oh, that? That was a bluff.
**[15:23] Both**
What?
**[15:24] Yoshino**
I thought the president wouldn't listen
unless I said something like that.
**[15:28] Airi**
Yeah, but will we be okay?
**[15:32] Yoshino**
We'll be fine.
**[15:33] Yoshino**
Even if it comes down to wire,
**[15:35] Yoshino**
we just have to write good lyrics
that Hayasaka-san will approve of.
**[15:38] Kaya**
"Just," huh?
**[15:40] Kaya**
Way to go, our incompetent leader.
**[15:42] Yoshino**
Did you say something?
**[15:43] Kaya**
No, nothing.
**[15:47] Airi**
What did Hayasaka-san mean when
he told us to sprout new buds?
**[15:52] Mayu**
Maybe he simply meant
we should create something new.
**[15:56] Kaya**
In other words, we can't stay the way we are.
**[16:00] Yoshino**
You're right.
**[16:01] Yoshino**
Those lyrics were the current WUG.
**[16:03] Yoshino**
A new us, huh?
**[16:05] Minami**
I know.
**[16:06] Minami**
Maybe we could be
reincarnated as potato salad.
**[16:10] Yoshino**
Let's move away from potatoes.
**[16:12] Yoshino**
But reincarnating might be a good idea.
**[16:14] Miyu**
What? Does that mean we have to die first?
**[16:18] Kaya**
Oh, right. We shouldn't die.
**[16:21] Nanami**
But stars shine the brightest when they die.
**[16:24] Minami**
What? Really?
**[16:25] Mayu**
Yeah. They're called supernovas.
**[16:27] Yoshino**
Ugh! I don't know!
**[16:31] Mayu**
Yoppi, calm down.
**[16:33] Kaya**
You really were bluffing to the president.
**[16:37] Yoshino**
No, I wasn't.
**[16:38] Yoshino**
Well, I was bluffing, but it's true
that I feel like I've almost got it.
**[16:45] Yoshino**
My head feels so foggy.
**[16:48] Minami**
Potatoes, potatoes...
**[16:50] Minami**

You didn't disband.
**[17:44] Yoko**
Yeah. Our agency shut down.

We didn't have a choice.

Thanks to you.
**[18:07] Miyu**
Huh?
**[18:08] Saki**

made us want to sing.

Really? At a maid cafe?
**[18:30] Miyu**
Yeah, where we held our guerrilla concert.
**[18:33] Mayu**
I heard they disbanded.
**[18:36] Miyu**
They did for a time,
but came back as freelancers.
**[18:39] Yoshino**
I see. They're still singing.
**[18:41] Airi**
I'm happy for them.
**[18:43] Mayu**

Hello, every-WUG.
***SIGN*** Myu AKA Okamoto

**[18:52] Miyu**
Today's guest on Myu's SMKM is
Namahagez, an idol group from Akita.
**[18:59] All**
Good evening.
**[19:00] Miyu**
The Namahagez' next concert
is on December 24th,
**[19:06] Miyu**
the same day as the last
performance of our tour.
**[19:08] Miyu**
I-1 Club is also performing
at the Tokyo Dome on that day,
**[19:11] Miyu**
so it'll be a day of idols.
**[19:13] Miyu**
Get pumped, everyone.
**[19:18] Miyu**
And that's the Namahagez done.
**[19:21] Kaya**
Nice one, Myu.
**[19:23] Kaya**
I can't believe you invited
the Namahagez onto your show.
**[19:25] Miyu**
I'm just getting started.
**[19:27] Miyu**
I've already made an offer
to the Akamiso All Stars.
**[19:30] Miyu**
I'm going to conquer the nation.
**[19:31] Nanami**
That's not what that means.
**[19:33] Yoshino**
Myu, you're surprisingly proactive.
**[19:36] Yoshino**
I respect that.
**[19:39] Miyu**
Keep the compliments coming.
**[19:41] Kaya**
Don't get ahead of yourself.
**[19:43] Mayu**
This is kind of nice.
**[19:45] Airi**
Huh?
**[19:46] Mayu**
The Namahagez invited us to be a guest
artist at their concert before, remember?
**[19:50] Airi**
Yeah.
**[19:51] Mayu**
And this time, Myu invited them
to be a guest on her show.
**[19:55] Mayu**
It's nice that we can make each other happy.
**[19:59] Airi**
You're right. We help each other out.
**[20:03] Airi**
Huh? That sounds familiar.
**[20:06] Yoshino**
Yeah. Individually we're weak and lacking,
**[20:09] Yoshino**
but we become stronger through
influencing each other.
**[20:14] Yoshino**
You're right.
**[20:16] Yoshino**
We're not the only ones helping each other.
**[20:19] Nanami**
Is this the newness Hayasaka-san
was talking about?
**[20:24] Minami**
Don't you think this will look like
a constellation once I have more stars?
**[20:31] Yoshino**
That's it.
**[20:33] Minami**
Huh?
**[20:34] Yoshino**
What do you think about
making the theme stars?
**[20:37] All**
Great idea.

**[00:07] All**
Wake Up, Girls!
**[00:10] Tange**
The first day's tickets didn't sell out.
**[00:14] Matsuda**
Maybe it's because of the guerrilla concerts,
**[00:16] Matsuda**
but they were selling until the very end.
**[00:19] Tange**
Really?
**[00:19] Matsuda**
How did your negotiations
with the stadium go?
**[00:22] Tange**
Not well.
**[00:24] Tange**
They said they'd give us
our money back if we'd cancel.
**[00:27] Matsuda**
But we reserved it first.
**[00:29] Matsuda**
We even had a contract.
**[00:31] Tange**
They said they'd compensate us.
**[00:33] Tange**
I told them it wasn't about the money, though.
**[00:36] Matsuda**
What? But you love money.
**[00:38] Tange**
In any case, it can't be helped now.
**[00:40] Tange**
We'll find another venue, no matter what.
**[00:43] Matsuda**
Yes, ma'am.
**[00:45] Tange**
We're not off to a good start.
**[00:48] Yoshino**
Next up is our new fresh-out-
of-the-oven song, "Polaris."

**[01:12] Ota**
"Due to certain circumstances,
**[01:15] Ota**
we have been forced to change
the location of our final performance."
**[01:18] Ota**
"Please contact the agency by 11/20 if you
would like to have your tickets refunded."
**[01:27] Ota**
So the tour has started
without a final concert venue.
**[01:32] Asazu**
We have until the 20th to refund our tickets.
**[01:37] Ota**
We must believe in WUG!
**[01:39] All**
Yeah!
**[01:40] Asazu**
Ota-san, it's an emergency!
**[01:42] Asazu**
Look at this!
**[01:43] Ota**
Machina X is performing in Japan?
**[01:46] Ota**
So it's not just at Sendai Stadium.
**[01:49] Shiromoto**
I heard Vdol was being funded
by a foreign company,
**[01:52] Shiromoto**
but I can't believe
they've expanded this much.
**[01:55] Ota**
Impossible.
**[01:56] Ota**
What's happening in the world of idols?
**[02:00] Tina**
I heard Vdol's having a concert
on Christmas Eve, too.
**[02:02] Nanoka**
Maybe they created
a scheduling conflict on purpose.
**[02:09] Shiraki**
The only thing you need to work on
**[02:12] Shiraki**
until the final tour performance
in Tokyo is becoming perfect.
**[02:17] Shiraki**
In particular, for those of you trying
to become the center of centers,
**[02:21] Shiraki**
you can't let anyone beat you.
**[02:23] Shiraki**
You must not lose.
**[02:25] Shiraki**
Work hard, so you can provide the ultimate
entertainment the day of the concert.
**[02:29] All**
Yes, sir!
**[02:30] Shiraki**
Very good.
**[02:31] Shiraki**
Now repeat after me.
**[02:32] Shiraki**
Don't rest! Don't complain!
**[02:34] Shiraki**
Don't think!
**[02:36] All**
Don't rest! Don't complain!
**[02:37] All**
Don't think!
**[02:38] Shiraki**
Gratitude, always!
**[02:40] All**
Gratitude, always!
**[02:44] Shiho**
What did you just say?
**[02:45] Shiraki**
The Hakata Theater is closing.
**[02:47] Shiraki**
Next Storm will be disbanded, as well.
**[02:51] Shiraki**
You'll focus on the center unit.
**[02:53] Shiho**
No...
**[02:55] Shiraki**
This conversation is over.
**[02:56] Shiraki**
Go back to your lesson.
**[02:58] Shiho**
Wait. I—
**[02:59] Shiraki**
I've granted you another
chance to become a center.
**[03:03] Shiraki**
Are you still unhappy?
**[03:05] Shiraki**
You should think carefully
on what's really best for I-1.
**[03:12] Shiho**
I have a request.
**[03:16] Shiho**
At least let me go back to Hakata just once.
**[03:25] Rika**
Shiho-san, are you okay?
**[03:27] Rika**
You look pale.
**[03:28] Shiho**
I'm fine. Thanks.
**[03:33] Shiraki**
Regarding the Vdol performance,
**[03:36] Shiraki**
are you involved in the forced
partnership with Heinlein?
**[03:39] Daruma**
*I've contributed money, too.*
**[03:42] Shiraki**
That's news to me.
**[03:45] Daruma**
*Really? I didn't tell you?*
**[03:47] Shiraki**
Is that why you didn't oppose
demoting #151 from center?
**[03:52] Daruma**
*I'm busy. The rest is up to you.*
**[03:57] Shiraki**
Understood.
**[04:04] Aya**
Disbanded?
**[04:06] Hinako**
No...
**[04:07] Noa**
No way...
**[04:09] Shiho**
I'll ask Shiraki-san to let the three
of you keep performing without—
**[04:13] Noa**
I don't want that!
**[04:15] Noa**
The four of us finally got back together.
**[04:17] Hinako**
I don't want that, either.
**[04:19] Shiho**
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
**[04:22] Hinako**
Shiho-san, are you sure
this is what you want?
**[04:24] Shiho**
I...
**[04:27] Aya**
Shiho-san, you'll become
the true center of I-1.
**[04:32] Noa**
You're right. If that's
what's best for Shiho-san.
**[04:35] Hinako**
Yeah. I'm sure Shiho-san will be fine.
**[04:39] Aya**
Good luck.
**[04:52] Yoshino**
Well? Were there any parts you didn't like?
**[04:54] Kaya**
Let's fix everything we can.
**[04:56] Nanami**
The choreography before the chorus
is a little bland, isn't it?
**[04:59] Miyu**
Yeah, that did bother me.
**[05:02] Mayu**
Ai-chan.
**[05:03] Airi**
What, Mayushi?
**[05:04] Mayu**
Can I talk to you for a second?
**[05:11] Mayu**
Are you okay?
**[05:12] Airi**
Yeah. I'm almost there.
**[05:14] Yoshino**
We know you can do it now.
**[05:17] Kaya**
Yeah. And it'll look awesome
if you can pull it off.
**[05:20] Airi**
Thanks.
**[05:21] Airi**
After all, Hayasaka-san gave us this song.
**[05:24] Airi**
By the final concert, I...
**[05:27] Airi**
We'll have a final concert, right?

Maybe everyone believes in us.
**[05:38] Minami**
I hope we can perform
in Sendai for our final concert.
**[05:41] Mayu**
Yeah.
**[05:50] Both**
Millions of years in the future...
**[05:55] Yoshino**
Hey, sounds nice.
**[05:57] Minami**
We tried assigning parts between us.
**[06:00] Nanami**
Watching the others
made us want to try something.

Yeah. Let's all work to make it better.

Incoming Call
**[06:12] Mayu**
Hello, Megumi?
**[06:15] Mayu**
What? Is that true?
**[06:21] Yoshino**
Did something happen?
**[06:24] Mayu**
Yeah.
**[06:25] Mayu**
Shiho might quit I-1.
**[06:28] Yoshino**
That can't be true. Why?
**[06:31] Mayu**
Apparently, it's to keep
Next Storm together.
**[06:34] Yoshino**
I see. That's rough.
**[06:37] Mayu**
Yeah.
**[06:38] Mayu**
Shiho's proud to be a member of I-1.
**[06:43] Mayu**
It must've been a tough decision.
**[06:45] Mayu**
She might still...
**[06:48] Yoshino**
We're performing in Tokyo soon, right?
**[06:51] Mayu**
Yeah.
**[06:52] Yoshino**
Great. Then you can meet
and talk to her in person.
**[06:57] Mayu**
Yoppi...
**[06:58] Yoshino**
But I have a condition.
**[07:01] Mayu**
Huh? What is it?
**[07:02] Yoshino**
Can I go with you?
**[07:04] Yoshino**
I'm still the leader.
I might be able to help.
**[07:08] Yoshino**
But they might not like it.
**[07:11] Mayu**
No, I'm sure it'll be fine.
**[07:14] Mayu**
Thanks, Yoppi.
**[07:25] Kaya**
What? Shiho-san and Megumi-san?
**[07:27] Miyu**
They're coming here?
**[07:29] Yoshino**
Yeah. They need to talk to Mayushi.
**[07:32] Yoshino**
We'll be using the room for a while.
**[07:34] Kaya**
Sure, but...
**[07:38] Yoshino**
Coming.
**[07:45] Mayu**
Shiho, are you quitting I-1 no matter what?
**[07:49] Shiho**
It's the only way I can protect Next Storm.
**[07:53] Mayu**
You won't regret it?
**[07:55] Shiho**
Well...
**[07:56] Mayu**
If you have doubts, why don't
you think on it a little more?
**[08:02] Mayu**
I wasn't even allowed to choose.
**[08:06] Megumi**
Mayu...
**[08:08] Yoshino**
Why don't you try talking
to Shiraki-san again?
**[08:11] Megumi**
That's right.
**[08:11] Megumi**
If you're prepared to quit,
at least talk to him again.
**[08:15] Shiho**
But Shiraki-san never changes his mind.
**[08:19] Shiho**
No matter what I say, it's too late.
**[08:22] Mayu**
Okay. In that case...
**[08:25] Shiho**
Mayu?
**[08:26] Shiho**
Mayu, what are you doing?
**[08:36] Tange**
I can afford this luxury.
**[08:39] Mayu**
Ma'am!
**[08:41] Tange**
What's wrong with you?
Can't you see I'm relaxing here?
**[08:45] Mayu**
But your door was open.
**[08:51] Mayu**
I want to talk to Shiraki-san.
**[08:54] Tange**
Do you have any idea
what's going on now?
**[08:57] Tange**
You're in the middle of your tour.
**[08:58] Mayu**
I know, but this is
something only I can do.
**[09:04] Tange**
Why?
**[09:06] Mayu**
It's for Shiho. No, for me.
**[09:10] Tange**
In other words, you're being selfish.
**[09:13] Mayu**
Please.
**[09:15] Yoshino**
Why not, ma'am?
**[09:16] Kaya**
You could arrange it, couldn't you?
**[09:18] Tange**
How did you get in?
**[09:20] Minami**
Your door was open.
**[09:22] Nanami**
Please call Shiraki-san.
**[09:25] Miyu**
Are you saying that was all talk?
**[09:28] Tange**
Oh, shut up! Fine, fine.
**[09:35] Shiraki**
How unusual.
**[09:36] Shiraki**
Did something happen?
**[09:37] Tange**
*It's been a while. The truth is...*
**[09:42] Shiraki**
You mean Shimada Mayu as an individual?
**[09:48] Mayu**
It's been a while, Shiraki-san.
**[09:50] Mayu**
I was told you'd meet if it was just me.
**[09:53] Shiraki**
Let's cut to the chase.
**[09:55] Shiraki**
Fifteen minutes. That's
all the time I can give you.
**[09:59] Mayu**
Shiho is prepared to quit I-1.
**[10:03] Mayu**
Are you sure you're okay with that?
**[10:05] Shiraki**
That's none of your business.
**[10:07] Shiraki**
I don't chase after people who leave.
**[10:09] Shiraki**
She'll just be treated as a dropout.
**[10:12] Mayu**
A dropout? Is that how you see me, too?
**[10:15] Shiraki**
Idols don't need friendship.
**[10:18] Shiraki**
You won't reach the top by relying on
others or being swayed by your feelings.
**[10:23] Mayu**
Are you sure?
**[10:25] Mayu**
At Wake Up, Girls!,
**[10:28] Mayu**
we're still inexperienced individually,
but we put on the best performances as seven.
**[10:34] Mayu**
We can do it because
we believe in each other.
**[10:37] Shiraki**
Believe in each other? Wrong.
**[10:39] Shiraki**
The best performances come from
**[10:42] Shiraki**
working hard every day,
backed by a strong mentality.
**[10:46] Mayu**
No, I'm not wrong.
**[10:48] Mayu**
Next Storm is—
**[10:49] Shiraki**
Don't compare yourselves to them.
**[10:50] Shiraki**
They're on a different level from you.
**[10:52] Mayu**
We're not just dolls who sing and dance.
**[10:56] Mayu**
We're people first.
**[10:58] Shiraki**
I-1 doesn't need friends.
**[11:01] Shiraki**
It's time. Excuse me.
**[11:03] Mayu**
Wait. What about Shiho?
***SIGN*** Shimada Mayu betrays WUG! to get back together with I-1 Club?

That's...
***SIGN*** In any case, this won't affect WUG.
***SIGN*** I'm sure of that!!
**[11:26] MAI**
Why was Mayu talking to Shiraki-san?
**[11:28] Rena**
He's not seriously thinking
about taking her back, is he?
**[11:31] Tina**
You can't be serious. Why now?
**[11:33] Rika**
People would certainly talk
if she joined the center unit.
**[11:36] Nanoka**
Does this mean I-1 is willing
to do whatever it takes now?
**[11:39] Nanoka**
That's rough.
**[11:41] MAI**
Surely this isn't happening.
**[11:43] MAI**
She's part of WUG now.
**[11:45] Moka**
But Shiraki-san has always
been particular about her.
**[11:47] Moka**
Doesn't that mean Shimada
Mayu is his perfect center?
**[11:51] Megumi**
Gather round, everyone. We're starting.
**[11:54] Rika**
But captain...
**[11:56] Megumi**
Let's do what we have to do.
**[11:59] Megumi**
I'm sure it'll be fine.

**[12:15] Yoshino**
She wants to go back?
**[12:16] Nanami**
Betrayal?
**[12:18] ---**
This is all my fault...
**[12:20] Airi**
Mayushi, are you okay?
**[12:22] Yoshino**
Shiraki-san never learns.
**[12:25] Nanami**
I know. This is so stupid.
**[12:27] Miyu**
It's kind of funny.
**[12:29] Kaya**
I can't believe that old man.
**[12:31] Minami**
Mayushi would never quit WUG.
**[12:34] Mayu**
Guys...
**[12:36] Tange**
Well, I doubt it'll have much effect.
**[12:38] Tange**
But if it affects our ticket sales,
I'll hate him until the end of time.
**[12:42] Matsuda**
But I'm Matsuda!
**[12:45] Shiraki**
There's a vacancy
in the center selection unit.
**[12:48] Shiraki**
We must choose a replacement immediately.
**[12:50] Employee**
What's the meaning of this?
**[12:51] Shiraki**
#3 has dropped out.
**[12:53] Employee**
What? Iwasaki Shiho did?
**[12:55] Shiraki**
Her replacement
could be her understudy, or...
**[12:58] Employee**
Wait. What happened to her?
**[13:01] Shiraki**
She'll be working in Hakata from now on.
***SIGN*** Next Storm
***SIGN*** Released From Contract
**[13:04] Employee**
What? Then what about Next Storm?
**[13:07] Shiraki**
I gave them the name as a parting gift.
**[13:14] Shiho**
Yeah, I'm heading back to Hakata now.
**[13:17] Shiho**
I'm going to work freelance from now on.
**[13:20] Mayu**
*Shiho, I couldn't help you.*
**[13:24] Mayu**
*I'm sorry.*
**[13:25] Shiho**
It's okay. Thanks to you, I got over it.
**[13:28] Mayu**
*I see. That's good, then.*
**[13:31] Shiho**
Are you okay? How about
your final concert venue?
**[13:36] Mayu**
We haven't found one yet.
**[13:38] Shiho**
*I see.*
**[13:40] Shiho**
*I heard your new song. It's good.*
**[13:43] Mayu**
Thanks. Hayasaka-san provided it.
**[13:46] Shiho**
Really?
**[13:50] Shiho**
Mayu, thank you.
**[13:52] Shiho**
*I'm really grateful.*
**[13:54] Shiho**
*I'll repay the favor.*
**[13:57] Mayu**
You don't owe me anything.
**[13:59] Shiho**
* We'll probably see each other even less*
* from now on, but you won't beat me.*
**[14:04] Mayu**
That's okay, Mitsuki.
**[14:06] Mayu**
We're dreaming the same dream.
**[14:09] Shiho**
Thanks, Yoko.
**[14:13] Rika**
Shiho-san!
**[14:17] Rika**
I made it.
**[14:19] Rika**
Um, I—
**[14:20] Shiho**
Take care of I-1.
**[14:25] Rika**
Shiho-san.
**[14:28] Shiraki**
What's wrong? You're in the center
selection unit, just like you wanted.
**[14:33] Moka**
I didn't want to take Shihocchi's place.
**[14:35] Shiraki**
A chance is a chance. Am I wrong?
**[14:41] Moka**
I promise I'll become a true center!
**[14:47] Yoshino**
We still haven't found
a venue for the final concert.
**[14:50] Airi**
What should we do?
Do we have to cancel it?
**[14:53] Minami**
What? We won't get to sing "Polaris" in Sendai?
**[14:56] Nanami**
But there's nothing we can do.
**[14:59] Miyu**
Why are you giving up?
**[15:03] Miyu**
We can put on a concert anywhere.
**[15:05] Yoshino**
Yeah, but...
**[15:06] Miyu**
At this rate, the Namahagez will laugh at us.
**[15:10] Miyu**
They started performing
again after seeing us, and...
**[15:14] Yoko**
It felt like you were telling us
we didn't have to give up.
**[15:20] Miyu**
Mayushi, you said Shiho-san was you before.
**[15:23] Miyu**
The Namahagez are me.
**[15:26] Miyu**
And they see us as them, too.
**[15:30] Miyu**
Huh? I'm confused now.
**[15:32] Airi**
Myu, calm down.
**[15:33] Yoshino**
You're right. It's still too soon to give up.
**[15:36] Nanami**
No matter where we perform, as long as
we're together, we can put on a concert.
**[15:42] Miyu**
Yeah.
**[15:47] Shiho**
*Hayasaka-san, it's been a while.*
**[15:49] Shiho**
*It's Iwasaki Shiho.*
**[15:51] Hayasaka**
You. What do you want?
**[15:54] Hayasaka**
I heard you left I-1.
**[15:57] Shiho**
*Yes, but I'm not calling about me.*
**[16:01] Hayasaka**
Really?
**[16:02] Shiho**
*It's about WUG.*
**[16:04] Shiho**
* Do you know what's happening*
* to them right now?*
**[16:11] Yoshino**
Why did you suddenly call a meeting?
**[16:14] Nanami**
We're trying to get as much
practice in as possible right now.
**[16:17] Miyu**
Has there been an emergency?
**[16:19] Tange**
Well, it is urgent. Urgent news.
**[16:23] Matsuda**
We found a venue for your final concert!
**[16:25] Nanami**
Oh, that's all?
**[16:28] All**
What?
**[16:31] Matsuda**
What do you think? The old Sendai Airport.
**[16:33] Matsuda**
Big, right?
**[16:35] Kaya**
It's certainly big.
**[16:37] Minami**
There's nothing here.
**[16:38] Matsuda**
Building the stage from
scratch will be hard work.
**[16:42] Tange**
Ugh! This is costing more than necessary.
**[16:45] Tange**
You'd better help in every way you can.
**[16:47] All**
Yes, ma'am!
**[16:49] Mayu**
Since there's nothing here,
we have that much more freedom.
**[16:52] Yoshino**
You're right. We can arrange
the seats however we want.
**[16:56] Airi**
Hey, it's like when we did Nyaon.
**[16:59] Mayu**
Yeah.
**[17:04] Yoshino**
You came to help?
**[17:06] Otome**
We'll handle this.
**[17:09] Ayumi**
You go ahead and rehearse.
**[17:11] Kaya**
Did you just leave school?
**[17:13] Otome**
No, we went home and changed.
**[17:15] Nanami**
Working while going to school must be hard.
**[17:18] Itsuka**
It's okay.
**[17:20] Itsuka**
We just want to help WUG.
**[17:24] Mayu**
Thanks.
***SIGN*** Osaka Dome Few Tickets Remaining
**[17:26] Airi**
Wow. Tickets are really selling.
**[17:29] Miyu**
Come to think of it, the Namahagez
are struggling to sell tickets, too.
**[17:34] Mayu**
Next Storm has a concert
on Christmas Eve, too.
**[17:37] Mayu**
They said it's tough.
**[17:38] Minami**
You think everyone wants to see the Vdol?
**[17:41] Yoshino**
I wish we could help.
**[17:44] Mayu**
I've thought of something we can do.
***SIGN*** Map of Japan
**[17:50] Kaya**
A plan to have all the nation's
idols perform on the 24th?
**[17:56] Kaya**
That could be interesting.
**[17:57] Nanami**
It'd be like a national Idol Festival.
**[18:00] Miyu**
The Namahagez, Next Storm,
and Akamiso said they're in.
**[18:05] Airi**
This map is serving us well.
**[18:07] Yoshino**
A lot of idols perform on Christmas Eve.
**[18:09] Yoshino**
Let's reach out to more groups.
**[18:12] Miyu**
Why don't we make a promotional video?
**[18:15] Miyu**
I could play it on my show.
**[18:17] Kaya**
Good idea. Let's do it.
**[18:19] Minami**
I hope it'll generate as much
excitement as the Idol Festival.
**[18:22] Nanami**
I'm sure it will.
**[18:24] Airi**
But will it work?
**[18:26] Mayu**
I think it's worth trying.
**[18:29] Mayu**
I think being able to help
someone else is happiness.
**[18:34] Airi**
I see. You're right.
**[18:36] Airi**
Idols can support other idols.

Hello, Shiraki-san?

It's Hayasaka.
**[18:56] Shiraki**
*You? Calling all the way from America?*
**[18:59] Shiraki**
*There must be some reason for this.*
**[19:01] Hayasaka**
I just wanted to propose
a little mischievousness.
**[19:13] Nanami**
Sorry we're late.
**[19:15] Mayu**
Sorry.
**[19:17] Yoshino**
Good work. Thanks for everything.
**[19:20] Otome**
No problem. Thank you.
**[19:25] Kaya**
They look pretty tired.
**[19:28] Mayu**
They cleaned up the venue again today.
**[19:31] Airi**
They're working hard.
**[19:34] Yoshino**
There's something I want to discuss.
**[19:39] Tange**
You want to include them
in the final concert?
**[19:40] Yoshino**
Yes.
**[19:43] Tange**
No.
**[19:44] Miyu**
What?
**[19:45] Mayu**
Why not?
**[19:46] Tange**
This isn't like handing out fliers.
**[19:49] Tange**
I can't take people's money and
have amateurs perform for them.
**[19:52] Matsuda**
You're right. Maybe it's too soon.
**[19:54] Airi**
But they've been acting
as our understudies lately.
**[19:57] Airi**
They've grown so much.
**[19:58] Miyu**
Ma'am, here. Look at this.
***SIGN*** National Idol Festival
**[20:03] Tange**
Wake Up, Idols?
**[20:05] Yoshino**
It's a plan for idols across the
country to perform on Christmas Eve.
**[20:10] Nanami**
We're hoping it can
be like the Idol Festival.
**[20:13] Minami**
So we want to sing with them.
**[20:17] Yoshino**
Please.
**[20:21] Tange**
Fine, fine.
**[20:23] Yoshino**
Really?
**[20:25] Tange**
But they're only opening for you.
**[20:31] Tange**
I can't believe I'm
bringing this out so soon.
**[20:35] Matsuda**
Huh? Ma'am?
**[20:47] Ayumi**
We're going to sing this song?
**[20:50] Yoshino**
Yeah. Twinkle wrote it for you girls.
**[20:54] Otome**
What? Twinkle did?
**[20:56] Itsuka**
I'm awed.
**[20:58] Minami**
It's so cool.
**[21:01] Nanami**
I know. Is Twinkle exploring new frontiers?
**[21:04] Kaya**
Yeah. It's kind of rock.
**[21:06] Miyu**
I bet it'll be fun at the concert.
**[21:08] Airi**
A-Are you okay?
**[21:10] Mayu**
They've suddenly been told to perform.
**[21:12] Mayu**
Of course they feel pressured.
**[21:14] Ayumi**
I'm happy, but I guess
you could say I'm not okay.
**[21:18] Otome**
I'm already over capacity
from opening for WUG.
**[21:22] Itsuka**
And now we're performing a new song.
**[21:24] Yoshino**
It's okay. There's about
a month until the final concert.
**[21:27] Yoshino**
Let's do our best together.
**[21:28] Ayumi**
O-Okay.
**[21:29] Otome**
Thank you.
**[21:31] Itsuka**
Thank you.
**[21:34] Mayu**
Be more conscious of yourself
all the way to your fingertips.
**[21:37] Miyu**
Your pose will look cooler
if you make it slightly imperfect.
**[21:41] Nanami**
And look at this.
**[21:43] Otome**
Wow! We're all over the place.
**[21:46] Kaya**
Now, now. We were terrible at first, too.
**[21:50] Itsuka**
I can't get this part right.
**[21:52] Mayu**
How's this?
**[21:53] Ayumi**
Wow! Impressive.
**[21:55] Mayu**
You'll fall behind
if you listen for the music,
**[21:58] Mayu**
so one of you should give
a signal for the others to follow.
**[22:02] Itsuka**
I see. Thank you.
**[22:09] Yoshino**
The president said to choose a unit name.
**[22:11] Kaya**
What? Seriously?
**[22:13] Kaya**
Well, since we're Wake Up, Girls!...
**[22:17] Mayu**
What comes after waking up?
**[22:20] Minami**
Washing your face?
**[22:21] Yoshino**
We can't call them Wash Face, Girls!
**[22:24] Minami**
Stand up, then.
**[22:26] Nanami**
That's too similar to ours.
**[22:28] Airi**
After standing you... walk?
**[22:32] Miyu**
Walking Girls?
**[22:34] Kaya**
That's not quite right.
**[22:36] Otome**
We're going to run home. Excuse us.
**[22:40] Yoshino**
What? After that workout?
**[22:42] Ayumi**
We need to build our stamina.
**[22:47] Kaya**
Middle school students are full of energy.
**[22:49] Miyu**
They're so young.
**[22:51] Yoshino**
They're always running around.
**[22:56] Miyu**
That's it.
**[22:57] Airi**
Huh? What?
**[23:01] Tange**
Run Girls, Run, huh?
**[23:03] Miyu**
Yeah. The two runs make it cute, right?
**[23:07] Tange**
It's not very snappy.
**[23:09] Yoshino**
What?
**[23:09] Kaya**
Ma'am, hold your complaints
until after you've seen this.
**[23:13] Kaya**
Come on, girls.
**[23:14] Otome**
On your marks.
**[23:16] Itsuka**
Ready, go.
**[23:17] Ayumi**
We are Run Girls, Run!
**[23:19] All**
Thanks for having us.
**[23:22] Minami**
That was awesome.
**[23:24] Tange**
Fine, I guess.
**[23:26] Tange**
Okay. Starting today, you're Run Girls, Run.
**[23:29] Airi**
It's great that you have a name now.
**[23:32] Minami**
All right! We're performing together!
**[23:34] Mayu**
Let's do our best.
**[23:35] All**
Y-Yeah.
**[23:44] Right**
What's your favorite WUG song?
**[23:47] Right**
Mine is...
**[23:48] All**
**[23:49] Right**
Huh? One more time.
**[23:50] All**
**[23:52] Right**

**[01:01] Yoshino**
I came up with a cheer for our concert.
**[01:05] Minami**
What is it?
**[01:06] Yoshino**
"Is everyone ready to get high?"
**[01:10] Yoshino**
What do you think?
**[01:12] Airi**
What does that mean?
**[01:14] Yoshino**
It's a play on burning up and turning into
"hai" (ash) and feeling elated or high.
**[01:19] All**
Oh, I see.
**[01:21] Yoshino**
Anyway, Mayushi, I'm counting on you.

**[09:07] Minami**
We appreciate your continued support.

Now it's time for us to pump up the crowd.

For the next two hours...

Is everyone ready to get high?
**[09:39] Yoshino**
* Until recently, we lacked the confidence*
* to say you can count on us.*
**[09:44] Yoshino**
* But now we can say it*
* with our heads held high.*
**[09:47] Airi**
* We achieved our dream of becoming idols,*
* but what does it mean to be an idol?*
**[09:52] Airi**
*What can we do?*
**[09:54] Airi**
* Those thoughts nearly*
* stopped us dead in our tracks.*
**[09:58] Kaya**
*You can't try too hard to do something well.*
**[10:01] Kaya**
* Even if it makes you look pathetic or lame,*
* you have to show your true self.*
**[10:05] Kaya**
*After all, that's all we can do.*
**[10:08] Miyu**
* By doing our best at what we can,*
* have we managed to grow a little?*
**[10:14] Miyu**
*Is each of us capable of being the star now?*
**[10:18] Nanami**
*We fought and worried, but we'll be okay.*
**[10:23] Nanami**
* The time we've spent together*
* hasn't been a waste.*
**[10:27] Minami**
* Now we understand each other*
* as much as—no, better than family.*
**[10:33] Minami**
* We know each other's*
* strengths and weaknesses.*
**[10:35] Minami**
* And we'll keep supporting*
* each other as we move forward.*
**[10:39] Mayu**
* And all the important people we've met,*
* all the people who have made us feel,*
**[10:45] Mayu**
* all the people we remain*
* connected to even when we're far away...*
**[10:47] Mayu**
* I thought it would take*
* way longer for us to become*
**[10:50] Mayu**
*the light illuminating someone's way.*
**[10:53] Mayu**
* But we've actually been illuminating*
* each other all along as we moved forward.*
**[15:18] Namahage Fan**

**[15:22] NS Fan**
Thanks for coming back!
**[15:32] Hayasaka**
*Wake Up, Idols!...*
**[15:35] Hayasaka**
* Honestly, I wasn't expecting*
* those potatoes to go this far.*
**[15:40] Shiraki**
Why do you help them so much
when you're on the Vdol's side?
**[15:45] Shiraki**
Providing them with a venue seems
more than a little mischievous to me.
**[15:51] Hayasaka**
* The only thing I act on is whether or not*
* I think something will be interesting.*
**[15:57] Hayasaka**
By the way, Iwasaki Shiho
fell into that category this time.
**[16:01] Shiraki**
*What?*
**[16:02] Hayasaka**
She contacted me.
**[16:05] Hayasaka**
She asked me to provide a venue
for WUG's final performance.
**[16:14] Makina X A**
Don't you want to go
to a world of only Machina?
**[16:17] Makina Fan**
Yeah!
**[16:20] Makina X B**
Then I'll take you there!
**[16:22] Makina X C**
This is "Glossy World!"
**[16:37] Yoshino**
This is our last song.
**[16:40] Fan**
What? But we just got here!
**[16:43] WUG**
We know!
**[16:44] Yoshino**
We worked together to write
the lyrics for this song.
**[16:48] Yoshino**
It's about how we feel now,
the message we want to convey,
**[16:52] Yoshino**
and all the important feelings we have.
**[16:56] Yoshino**
This is "Polaris."
**[17:36] Tange**
It's really starting to come down.
**[17:38] Matsuda**
Will the stage be okay?
**[17:41] Ayumi**
WUG...
**[17:44] Hayasaka**
Shiraki-san, what do you think the
difference is between Vdols and human idols?
**[17:50] Shiraki**
*Idols are an image.*
**[17:52] Shiraki**
*There's no difference between them.*
**[17:54] Hayasaka**
Indeed.
**[17:55] Hayasaka**
But in the case of humans,
they have ups and downs.
**[17:59] Hayasaka**
They can't move exactly how you want them to.
**[18:01] Hayasaka**
But sometimes, they easily
overcome our expectations.
**[18:06] Hayasaka**
Don't you think that's fascinating?
**[18:13] Yoshino**
*Minami's mic...*
**[19:02] Operator A**
The snow is causing a system error!
**[19:04] Operator B**
It's happening in Tokyo, too!
**[19:11] Tange**
You still haven't fixed it?
**[19:14] Staff**
It'll take some time.
**[19:16] Staff**
The cold is affecting the system.
**[19:18] Matsuda**
Ma'am, we have to shut it down.
**[19:21] Tange**
Wait. Let them handle it.
**[19:35] Mayu**
* All we can do right now is sing so our*
* voices reach as many people as possible.*
**[19:43] Hayasaka**
Letting an idol with
perfect skills debut with my songs.
**[19:49] Hayasaka**
I thought there would be no better way
to maximize the potential of my music.
**[19:55] Hayasaka**
But I was wrong.
**[19:56] Shiraki**
*Did they teach you that, too?*
**[19:59] Hayasaka**
Are you sure you don't actually understand?
**[20:02] Shiraki**
*What do you mean?*
**[20:10] MC**
*I-1 club's true center is...*
**[20:15] Hayasaka**
It's not Vdols or me or you
who will change the idol industry.
**[20:22] MC**
*Suzuki Moka!*
**[20:24] MC**
*She has impressively reclaimed her title!*
**[20:27] MC**
*Congratulations!*
**[20:29] MC**
* And now we have the perfect*
* surprise guest for this moment!*
**[20:34] MC**
*Take a look at the screens!*
**[20:37] Moka**
*This couldn't be worse.*
**[20:52] Megumi**
Shihocchi...
**[20:54] Moka**
Shimada Mayu?
**[21:01] Shiraki**
Did you do this?
**[21:02] Shiraki**
How dare you interfere.
**[21:04] Hayasaka**
*But it's exciting, isn't it?*
**[21:07] Hayasaka**
* This is the correct answer*
* for the fans as well.*
**[21:20] Shiraki**
* I-1 must stand at the pinnacle,*
* not just internally,*
**[21:24] Shiraki**
*but of all idols in the center position.*
**[21:29] Shiraki**
* So I'd like to announce*
* the return of a new idol festival.*
**[21:37] Shiraki**
*This is my answer.*
***SIGN*** This isn't a dream... My Mayushi's dancing right in front of me! This is my first concert ever, and it's super fun! There were technical issues at the WUG concert, but they handled it brilliantly by dancing in the stands! I wish everyone who couldn't come could see this! I don't know if it was a problem or a surprise... but either way, WUG is the best! I don't know what's happening, but WUG is dancing right in front of me!
**[21:47] Mayu**
* No matter how many times we fall,*
* we won't give up. We won't hesitate.*
**[21:51] Mayu**
* As long as we're together,*
* we can keep walking towards the light.*
**[22:03] Mayu**
* I believe there are three*
* ways to make someone happy.*
**[22:09] Mayu**
* First, there are people who can make*
* lots of people around the world happy.*
**[22:14] Mayu**
*People who can make those around them happy.*
**[22:18] Mayu**
* And finally, people who*
* can make themselves happy.*
**[22:23] Mayu**
*But now I understand.*
**[22:26] Mayu**
* By making others happy,*
* we make ourselves happy.*
**[22:37] Staff**
Tasuku, what did you think of the US? Boring?
**[22:41] Hayasaka**
It wasn't that bad.
**[22:43] Hayasaka**
But soon Japan will become
a much more fun place to be.
**[22:50] Kaya**
Let's go to our lesson, Myu.
**[22:52] Miyu**
KMH?
**[22:54] Miyu**
Is this for real?
***SIGN*** I-1 club's Suzuki Moka steps down from center position!
**[22:57] Minami**
What?
**[22:58] Airi**
She's quitting? Why?
**[23:00] Miyu**
Apparently, "the real battle is postponed
until the new idol festival."
**[23:05] Yoshino**
What does that mean?
***SIGN*** Vdol to participate in new idol festival!
***SIGN*** I-1 club withdraws from seed!
**[23:06] Miyu**
This.
**[23:07] Ayumi**
What? The Vdol, too?
**[23:09] Yoshino**
Oh, hey. Good morning.
**[23:12] All**
Good morning.
**[23:14] Mayu**
I see. I-1 club's participating
in the preliminaries, too.
**[23:17] Otome**
WUG will be in this, too, right?
**[23:19] Kaya**
Don't act like this doesn't affect you.
**[23:22] Nanami**
Yeah. We're rivals now.
**[23:25] Ayumi**
What? We are?
**[23:27] Otome**
Rivals?
**[23:28] Itsuka**
I'm honored.
**[23:29] Yoshino**
I look forward to working with all of you.
**[23:32] All**
Yeah!
**[23:33] ---**
**[23:34] ---**
We can do it!
**[23:34] ---**
Come on!
**[23:35] All**
I'm leaving you behind!
**[23:36] All**
Hurry up!
