Tachiagare

Believing I could not dream
I protected my small, quiet self
Badly hurt, to the harsh sea
Afraid, I quickly turned my back
But I am who I am
No tricks will work against me
I decided I could only move
forward without giving up

WAKE UP bathed in bright sunlight
The hope in my heart
overlaps with you

STAND UP there is no night
that does not end

Believe in tomorrow's smile
Shine MY ONLY ONE
I cried forever, I shouted forever
I searched for my lost love forever
The moment I stood
on the edge of despair

I heard the sound of a kind wind
Then I found it
This is my stage
I fly into that sky once again
WAKE UP it opened my eyes
Because you don't
want to cry anymore

STAND UP the future lies ahead
That's why we now depart
Watch me MY ONLY ONE
More, more I want
to tell you how I feel

There is something I can't give up
no matter how much I'm hurt

Listen, listen
I'll sing my heart out

I don't care if they laugh at me
I won't lose
Stand up!
WAKE UP bathed in bright sunlight
The hope in my heart
overlaps with you

STAND UP there is no night
that does not end

Believe in tomorrow's smile
WAKE UP may my wish come true
I'm heading towards my dream now,
hands outstretched

STAND UP let's run without doubts
To live in this world
With you MY ONLY ONE

    She's grown.
[17:14] Matsuda
    Um... Do you know her?
[17:16] Tange
    What?
[17:17] Tange
    You don't know who she is?
[17:19] Matsuda
    Nope.
[17:19] Tange
    How long have you been
    in the entertainment business?!
[17:21] Matsuda
    One year and three months.
[17:23] Tange
    You may be an insect on the bottom
    rung of the entertainment industry,
[17:26] Tange
    but you still need to know!
[17:28] Matsuda
    You don't need to be so harsh...
[17:30] Tange
    She's a first generation
    member of the I-1 Club
[17:32] Tange
    and former center, Shimada Mayu!
[17:35] Matsuda
    What?!
[17:37] Tange
    To say that she pushed the
    originally lackluster I-1 Club
[17:40] Tange
    to the top of the world of idols...
[17:41] Tange
    no, to the top of the
    world of entertainment,
[17:44] Tange
    wouldn't be an exaggeration.
[17:47] Tange
    They had finally made it big.
[17:49] Tange
    It was immediately after that...
[17:51] Tange
    She lost a center battle or
    something and suddenly graduated.
[17:55] Tange
    Her fans and the media
    had a field day with it.
[17:58] Tange
    She disappeared, shrouded in mystery,
    but I had no idea she was here.
[18:05] Tange
    If you had your eye on her,
    you're not completely blind.
[18:09] Matsuda
    Is that right?
[18:10] Tange
    That's not a compliment.
[18:12] Tange
    Until you catch her,
    you're still less than a maggot.
[18:15] Matsuda
    I see...
[18:26] Yoshino
    What was she doing here?
[18:31] Tange
    The audition will now begin.
[18:38] Tange
    Good work.
[18:41] Tange
    Before you go,
    I have one more question.
[18:44] Tange
    Are you virgins?
[18:48] Matsuda
    So, what do you think?
    Who are you going to pass?
[18:51] Tange
    They all pass.
[18:53] Matsuda
    What?!
[18:53] Tange
    After all, we can't form a group
    without at least this many girls.
[18:57] Matsuda
    Yes, but...
[18:58] Tange
    That's not the only reason.
[19:00] Tange
    As a parasite, though,
    I'm sure you don't understand.
[19:03] Matsuda
    I see...
[19:04] Tange
    Matsuda, what do you
    think an idol is?
[19:08] Matsuda
    What? Who knows?
[19:09] Tange
    They're stories.
[19:11] Matsuda
    Stories?
[19:12] Tange
    Stories represent possibility.
[19:14] Tange
    Those girls are full of possibility.
[19:18] Matsuda
    Is that right?
[19:20] Tange
    But we're missing one.
[19:23] Tange
    These six girls don't
    smell like money.
[19:29] Tange
    I need her after all.
[19:31] Attendant
    Excuse me, but it's time to leave.
[19:35] Attendant
    Hey! You can't smoke in here!
[19:38] Tange

    Shimada Mayu?
[23:07] Tange
    She was an idol in the I-1 Club.
[23:09] Airi

    You're shining in this video.
[25:24] Matsuda
    Listen.
[25:25] Matsuda
    I've never managed idols before,
    so maybe I don't understand...
[25:31] Matsuda
    but I don't think many people
    can make others happy like this.
[25:38] Mayu
    So, what?
[25:39] Matsuda
    You're definitely one of them.
[25:43] Matsuda
    Seeing this video,
    and watching you dance,
[25:47] Matsuda
    encourages me to work harder.
[25:51] Matsuda
    I don't know how to say this,
[25:53] Matsuda
    but idols have the power
    to encourage and embolden people.
[25:59] Matsuda
    At least, I think they do.
[26:01] Matsuda
    We want to make
    that kind of idol group,
[26:05] Matsuda
    and we need you to do that.
[26:07] Mayu
    That's irrelevant.
[26:09] Mayu
    I know I don't have
    the power to make others happy.
[26:17] Mayu
    I can't even make the people
    around me or myself happy.
[26:22] Mayu
    Encouraging or emboldening
    others is unthinkable.
[26:27] Mayu
    Excuse me.
[26:29] Matsuda
    Wait!
[26:31] Matsuda
    See for yourself.

    Good work, Twinkle.

    You wrote a good song.

    You should've asked

[34:02] Karina
    You made a group? They're cute.
[34:05] Tange
    I suppose.
[34:06] Nanami
    Why did Twinkle write a song for us?

    I was lying to myself.

    Um... What are you talking about?

    I gave up on being an idol once.
[41:08] Mayu
    Since then, I've been
    suppressing my feelings.
[41:13] Mayu
    I rejected my love
    of singing and dancing.

    I was afraid of getting hurt again.
[41:21] Mayu
    But since this audition and
    my friend becoming an idol,

    watching her work made me
    realize I wanted to be an idol.

[05:17] Yoshino
    N-No.
[05:18] Yoshino
    I had some free time,
    so I thought I'd see a movie.
[05:21] Kaya
    Huh.
[05:26] Kaya
    So austere!

    I thought so.

[06:50] Yoshino
    During the concert, I was so
    concerned with what was in front of me,
[06:53] Yoshino
    I didn't have time
    to think about the future.
[06:55] Yoshino
    I thought it might be
    our first and last concert.
[06:59] Yoshino
    Now that it's over,
    I feel like it's a waste.
[07:03] Yoshino
    But keeping up with it seems like
    it would be difficult, too...

    Basically, you want
    to keep doing it, don't you?

    Didn't you come to talk

    Huh? I didn't...
[07:16] Kaya
    The truth is I've been
    thinking about it, too.
[07:20] Kaya
    It was straightforward of Mayu

    to demand to do it
    because she wanted to.
[07:25] Yoshino
    Yeah, that...

[07:46] Kaya
    He's not here.
[07:47] Miyu

[08:03] Matsuda
    What?
[08:04] Miyu
    Doubts?
[08:06] Miyu
    I don't have any.
[08:07] Miyu
    I finally made it
    into an idol group.
[08:11] Miyu
    What? Do you still have doubts?
[08:14] Yoshino
    I wouldn't call them doubts.

[08:19] Miyu
    You mean the president running away?
[08:21] Miyu
    Lamenting the past
    won't do any good.
[08:25] Kaya
    You're right.
[08:27] Yoshino
    But the agency might shut down!
[08:30] Miyu
    I think that depends on our efforts.
[08:33] Kaya
    What?
[08:34] Miyu
    I believe talent agencies
    are just like stores.
[08:39] Miyu
    You know I worked
    at a maid café, right?
[08:43] Kaya
    I didn't know.
[08:44] Yoshino
    Me, neither.
[08:45] Miyu
    Anyway, when the store
    isn't doing well,
[08:49] Miyu
    sometimes all it takes
    to get back on our feet
[08:51] Miyu
    is for the employees
    to work super hard.
[08:55] Yoshino
    What does that have to do with this?
[08:57] Miyu
    Huh?
[08:58] Miyu
    The agency might not have
    any money right now,
[09:02] Miyu
    but if we work hard,
    we can get it back on its feet!
[09:06] Kaya
    A maid café isn't the same
    as the entertainment industry,
[09:09] Kaya
    and it's not that easy.
[09:12] Yoshino
    Besides,
[09:12] Yoshino
    Matsuda-san doesn't even know
    if he wants to keep the agency open.
[09:16] Miyu
    I think inspiring
    the boss is up to us, too...

[11:45] All
    What?!
[11:47] Matsuda
    Their name's Sudo-san.
[11:49] Matsuda
    They're a famous producer who
    started a lot of projects.
[11:53] Matsuda
    They saw your Christmas concert.
[11:56] Matsuda
    They loved Wake Up, Girls! and said
[11:59] Matsuda
    they'd help us manage the group.
[12:02] Matsuda
    After hearing about Sudo-san's
    background, I was shaking.

[12:37] Matsuda
    Huh?
[12:38] Kaya

[12:40] Kaya
    that means you'll be
    working together, right?
[12:42] Kaya
    Are you going to be okay?
[12:43] Matsuda
    Huh? Well, yeah.
[12:48] Matsuda
    Until now, I simply
    obeyed President Tange.
[12:54] Matsuda
    President Tange was
    rough and irresponsible
[12:57] Matsuda
    and ended up running
    away with our money.
[13:00] Matsuda
    For some reason,
    though, she had major
[13:03] Matsuda
    connections and found work for us.
[13:07] Matsuda
    Compared to her, I...
[13:09] Matsuda
    I don't have connections,
    money, or confidence.
[13:12] Matsuda
    I'm an all-around loser.
[13:14] Miyu
    Are you bragging?
[13:15] Matsuda
    But I finally have a chance.
[13:18] Matsuda
    I can't afford to turn down
    working with Sudo-san.
[13:23] Matsuda
    I believe I have to do it.
[13:26] Matsuda
    What do you think?
[13:26] Matsuda
    Will you work on Wake Up,
    Girls! with me again?
[13:32] Kaya
    I already intended to.
[13:34] Miyu
    All right! I'll do it!
[13:37] Nanami
    Well, I'll see how it goes.
[13:40] Yoshino
    It depends on the work we get.
[13:42] Airi

    again, though.
[13:46] Airi
    Right, Mayu?
[13:47] Mayu

    I'll do everything
    I can for tomorrow!
[14:15] Minami
    Matsuda-san's so passionate.
[14:17] Miyu
    It's cute.
[14:20] Yoshino
    I hope it's not for nothing.
[14:22] Kaya
    You're right.
[14:24] Nanami
    People unaccustomed to
    happiness lose their cool
[14:28] Nanami
    when confronted with
    great happiness.
[14:30] Airi
    Nanamin, you're so mature.
[14:38] Yoshino
    Anyway, he doesn't
    have a plan, right?
[14:40] Kaya
    He can't help it.
[14:42] Kaya
    President Tange's the one who
    decided to form an idol group.
[14:46] Miyu
    Matsuda-san said it himself.
[14:49] Miyu
    He was just doing as he was told.
[14:51] Nanami
    I can't believe President Tange
    ran off with the money, though.
[14:56] Miyu
    I heard she was taken in by a man.
[15:00] Kaya
    Where did you hear that?
[15:02] Miyu
    Oh. A lot of well-informed
    people come to my work.
[15:06] Airi
    What a crazy information network...
[15:08] Hoshino
    Maybe we really do have to
    rely on this Sudo person.
[15:11] Nanami
    If we don't get along, we can quit.
[15:14] Miyu
    You're going to quit?
[15:15] Nanami
    Yeah.

    But it's good news.
[15:18] Minami
    We can work again.
[15:24] Airi
    I agree.
[15:26] Mayu
    Are you watching that again?
[15:27] Miyu
    Hey, is that...
[15:28] Airi
    Yeah, the Christmas concert.
[15:36] Miyu
    If we ever make it big,
    that'll be one valuable video.
[15:40] Nanami
    If we make it big.
[15:42] Nanami
    If we don't,
    you'll wish you could forget.
[15:44] Kaya
    Don't say that.

    I think it'd be a fun
    experience from our youth.
[15:50] Yoshino

    You showed off your panties
    at your end-of-the-year concert.
[02:21] Kaya
    That wasn't...
[02:23] Sudo
    It was great!
[02:24] Sudo
    It was amazing!
[02:25] Sudo
    It was passionate!
[02:27] Sudo
    Here! Now try these on.
[02:32] Matsuda
    You're still not done changing?
[02:34] Airi
    U-Um...
[02:36] Yoshino
    Not yet.
[02:37] Matsuda
    Sudo-san said he wanted
    to check before the job.
[02:45] Matsuda
    Do you think you could hurry up?
[02:47] Kaya
    What job?
[02:48] Matsuda
    Sudo-san has found
    a stage for you already.
[02:51] Miyu
    What?
[02:52] ---
    Ow!
[02:53] Miyu
    A stage?
SIGN    Bath
[02:55] Miyu
    Is this the stage?!
SIGN    The Wake Up, Girls! movie, Seven Idols, now in theaters!

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

[16:11] Airi
    It's so cute in here.
[16:13] Yoshino
    It's so like Miyu.
[16:16] Maids
    Welcome back, Mistress.
[16:26] Miyu
    I'm starting to think this store
    is the right level for me.
[16:32] Yoshino
    What? Didn't you say
    you had no doubts?
[16:36] Miyu
    I did say that,
    but like Sudo-san said,
[16:42] Miyu
    maybe I lacked resolve.
[16:44] Airi
    What do you mean?
SIGN    Maid in Sendai
[16:47] Miyu
    I sang and danced every day
    on the little stage in this store.
[16:54] Miyu
    I feel so comfortable
    around the customers here.
[17:00] Miyu
    Anyway, being surrounded by
    those fans made me want more.
[17:06] Miyu
    If only I could stand on a larger
    stage and have even more fans...
[17:12] Miyu
    But I realized something
    after yesterday's performance.
[17:16] Miyu
    I was naïve.
[17:19] Airi
    About what?
[17:20] Miyu
    Ultimately, what I enjoyed was being
[17:23] Miyu
    coddled by the fans
    of this familiar store.
[17:28] Miyu
    Besides, they would never
[17:30] Miyu
    force me to do anything
    I didn't want to do.
[17:35] Miyu
    Becoming an idol means interacting
[17:41] Miyu
    with complete strangers and
    overcoming the unimaginable.
[17:45] Miyu
    It feels like a blow to the head.
[17:51] Miyu
    It's time for my show.
[17:52] Airi
    Um, President Tange came back and...
[17:56] Miyu
    President Tange came back?
[17:58] Miyu
    She's not going to
    trick us again, is she?
[18:01] Yoshino
    I don't think she will this time.
[18:04] Yoshino
    Miyu, you'll come back, won't you?
[18:08] Miyu
    Will you watch me perform?
[18:14] Maid
    Miyu has returned to participate
    in today's performance!
[18:20] Audience
    Miyu!

    I'm home, everyone!

    It's harder than I thought.

    As you all know,
    I'm not very good at anything.

[14:33] Minami
    What? Color?
[14:34] Woman
    Yeah, we forgot to ask.
[14:39] Woman
    We just assumed it was yellow.
[14:44] Woman
    They say big eaters are yellow.
[14:46] Minami
    Huh?
[14:47] Woman
    Minami-chan doesn't know
    what you're talking about.
[14:50] Minami
    We haven't been assigned
    colors yet, but why yellow?
[14:55] Woman
    Because you're like the sun.

    Yeah, you just might be the sun.

    We called an ambulance,

    Kisaragi-san will stay with her.
[16:37] Woman
    On the way to the hospital,
    Isokawa-san asked us
[16:41] Woman
    to wish you luck at your concert.
[16:45] Minami
    I can't...

    Minami's still not here.
[17:07] Matsuda

    Minami's never late.
[17:10] Airi

    Hello? What's going on?
[17:36] Tange

    So, you can't come here?

    What?
[17:47] Miyu
    What are we going to do?
[17:49] Nanami
    Don't ask me. I don't know.
[17:56] Tange
    We'll perform without Minami.
[17:58] Mayu
    Without her?
[17:59] Matsuda
    But you said we'd promote
    Minami in the concert.
[18:03] Tange
    I'll explain the situation
    to the TV station.
[18:06] Tange
    Someone important
    to Minami is in the hospital.

    You should understand
    the desire to help her.

    You're in the hospital!
[18:53] Minami
    Should you be taking that off?
[18:55] Woman
    I'm fine.
[18:55] Woman
    I don't need this.
[19:02] Woman
    Will you make it
    in time for your concert?

    I'm not going.

    I'm staying here.
[19:07] Woman
    You have to go.
[19:10] Minami
    But...
[19:11] Woman
    No.
[19:12] Woman
    If you came here for me,
    go to the concert instead.
[19:18] Woman
    The best medicine for me
    is to see you dancing.
[19:28] Woman
    Didn't I tell you?
    You're like the sun.
[19:33] Woman
    You illuminated us
    as we were wilting.
[19:39] Woman
    You need to keep being
    the sun that illuminates us.
[19:48] Woman
    Go on.
[19:50] Woman
    I'll be fine.
[19:51] Woman
    I've been through a lot.

    this to take me out.

    Okay?

    Can we practice our positions
    for "Stand Up" again?

[20:28] Nanami
    You're making me nervous.

[20:33] Nanami
    Is it okay for you to be here?
[20:35] Minami
    Yeah.
[20:37] Minami
    Sorry I'm late.
[20:40] Minami
    I'm sorry.
[20:42] Tange
    It's fine.
[20:43] Tange
    Are you sure you
    should be here, though?

    Yes.

[15:25] Suzuki
    I was hoping to talk to the members.
[15:30] Matsuda
    I see.
[15:33] Suzuki
    Let's get started.
[15:35] Suzuki
    I'd like to ask each member
    some simple questions in turn
[15:38] Suzuki
    and have them answer.
[15:41] Suzuki
    Start rolling whenever.
[15:43] Suzuki
    Let's start with your reason for joining.
[15:45] Suzuki
    Nanase-san, you're first.
[15:47] Yoshino
    Okay.
[15:51] Suzuki
    Why did you become an idol?
[15:55] Yoshino
    I'm Nanase Yoshino.
[15:56] Yoshino
    I'm originally from Sendai,
[15:58] Yoshino
    and I've been a child talent star
    since I was four years old.
[16:01] Yoshino
    At one point, I wanted to be a model,

    but I decided to pursue
    a career as an idol.

    Okay.

[16:18] Kaya
    I'm Kikuma Kaya.
[16:19] Kaya
    I'd been working a lot of jobs,
[16:22] Kaya
    and I found out about
    this audition at one of them.
[16:25] Kaya
    I wanted some proof of my
    accomplishments, so I decided to try out.
[16:30] Suzuki
    I see.
[16:31] Suzuki
    Next person, please.
[16:37] Suzuki
    Um... Shimada Mayu-san.

    Yes.

    You're former I-1 Club member,
    Mayushi, aren't you?
[16:53] Mayu
    Yes.
[16:54] Suzuki
    Sorry to be direct,
[16:56] Suzuki
    but the real reason you were
    made to quit the I-1 Club
[16:58] Suzuki
    was different from what
    the media covered, isn't it?
[17:04] Suzuki
    The official story is that
    you lost a center battle,
[17:08] Suzuki
    but according to my research,
[17:10] Suzuki
    you were involved in a lot
    of internal conflicts.
[17:13] Suzuki
    What happened?
[17:16] Suzuki
    Come on! You quit.

    Why don't you tell the truth?
[17:23] Matsuda
    Hey!
[17:30] Suzuki
    Was the reason this picture
    that everyone was talking about?
[17:36] Suzuki
    There are rumors of power
    struggles within the group
[17:39] Suzuki
    and suspiciously large money
    transfers, aren't there?

    we have to improve our skills
    to be on par with Mayushi's.

    malicious about it.

    It doesn't seem to be over yet.

    What do you mean?
[20:36] Airi
    I wonder if Mayushi saw this.
[20:38] Minami
    It's so mean.
[20:39] Nanami
    She probably ended up seeing this.

    Isn't Mayu that piece of trash who
    betrayed her fans with a man?

    Is this true?

    According to the customers
    at the maid café, they're mostly lies,
[20:51] Miyu
    but there are some
    they can't be sure of.
[20:53] Kaya
    Does that mean only
    Mayu knows the truth?
[20:56] Miyu
    Actually, I tried asking
    Mayushi directly before,
[21:01] Miyu
    but she wouldn't tell me.
[21:04] Airi
    She should talk to someone about it,
[21:05] Airi
    instead of handling it on her own.
[21:07] Kaya
    Maybe she can't do that right now.
[21:10] Yoshino
    Are you saying she doesn't trust us?
[21:13] Kaya
    That's not what I meant.
[21:14] Minami
    Maybe it's not easy for her to say.
[21:16] Yoshino

    There are things in this world
    you can't buy with money!
[05:35] Tange
    Spending money on advertising
    will help your sales,
[05:37] Tange
    but it won't last forever.
[05:39] Tange
    After all, it costs money!
[05:42] Matsuda
    Is that right?
[05:44] Tange
    Nothing's most important
    than making an honest living.
[05:48] Tange
    Even the I-1 Club was built
    by the passion of Shiraki,
[05:52] Tange
    who had nothing going for him
    except his love of idols.
[05:58] Tange
    The I-1 Club started as
[06:00] Tange
    a local "no money, no connections,
    no name" group from Oshiage.
[06:06] Tange
    That was before Oshiage built its Skytree.
[06:10] Tange
    Now it's something of a tourist spot.
[06:15] Matsuda
    President, are you
    familiar with that era?
[06:18] Tange
    Of course I am!
[06:19] Tange
    I've been in this business
    for forty-five years!
[06:21] Matsuda
    Huh?
[06:22] Matsuda
    How old are you?
[06:24] Tange
    I've been doing this since a past life!
[06:25] Matsuda
    I see.
[06:27] Tange
    They didn't have any theaters back then.
[06:29] Tange
    They held guerrilla concerts in Azumabashi,
[06:31] Tange
    but there's no audience there.
[06:33] Tange
    I'm saying there aren't
    any young people there.
SIGN    Yakitori
[06:36] Matsuda
    Yeah.
[06:38] Tange
    But idols become popular
    through word of mouth.
[06:42] Tange
    There were rumors of interesting
    girls in Azumabashi.
[06:45] Tange
    Those rumors spread like wildfire,
    giving us the I-1 we have today.
[06:50] Tange
    Their honest work moved people's
    hearts and gave birth to money.
[06:55] Tange
    That's how it works.
[06:57] Matsuda
    You're sounding
    strangely reasonable today.
[07:00] Matsuda
    It's scaring me.
[07:03] Tange
    I'll do it this time.
[07:05] Matsuda
    What?
[07:06] Tange
    Nothing!
[07:07] Tange
    I was talking to myself!
SIGN    Jera
[07:18] Nanami
    The I-1 Club is really amazing.
[07:20] Yoshino
    Yeah.
[07:21] Kaya
    Their choreography
    is so well coordinated.
[07:23] Miyu
    Mayushi used to be part of that.
[07:27] Suzuki
    You must be confused.
[07:30] Suzuki
    Wake Up, Girls! doesn't exist
    without Shimada Mayu, does it?
[07:35] Yoshino
    I won't lose.
[07:36] Nanami
    To who? I-1?
[07:37] Nanami
    Don't you think that
    will take some time?
[07:40] Nanami
    I think we just have
    to do the best we can.
[07:43] Miyu
    You're right.
[07:44] Miyu
    Let's first think of how
    we can gather as large
[07:46] Miyu
    an audience for
    our concert as possible.
[07:48] Kaya
    Yeah.
[07:48] Kaya
    Maybe I'll reach out
    to my friends this time.
[07:52] Miyu
    That's not good enough.
[07:53] Miyu
    You can't approach
    this like you're trying
[07:55] Miyu
    to fill some small theater.
[07:56] Kaya
    What do you mean?
[07:57] Miyu
    We need to increase our number of fans.
[08:01] Kaya
    Yeah, but...
[08:02] Nanami
    Yoppi, let's go.
[08:09] Dance coach
    Okay, let's take a break!
[08:11] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[08:15] Yoshino
    Airi, you're always behind.
[08:17] Airi
    Huh?
[08:17] Airi
    Sorry. Where?
[08:24] Yoshino
    This part.
[08:25] Yoshino
    Give it a try.
[08:29] Yoshino
    There it is.
[08:30] Yoshino
    That's not right.
[08:31] Airi
    What? It's not?
[08:33] Mayu
    Isn't it like this?
[08:41] Airi
    Like this, Yoppi?
[08:43] Airi
    Huh?
[08:45] Airi
    What's wrong with Yoppi?
[08:51] Yoshino
    Since our new song
    is coming together,
[08:54] Yoshino
    I thought we could decide what
    we're singing at the concert today.
[08:57] Yoshino
    First, I think it goes
    without saying that we'll use
[08:59] Yoshino
    "Stand Up!" and "16-Year-Old Agape."
SIGN    "Stand Up!"
SIGN    "16-Year-Old Agape"
[09:02] Yoshino
    I'm sure you all know,
[09:04] Yoshino
    that's not nearly enough.
[09:06] Yoshino
    So I want to choose
    a few more songs today.
[09:10] Miyu
    I know! I know!
[09:11] Miyu
    What about anime songs?
[09:13] Miyu
    I'm sure our fans will enjoy them.
[09:15] Nanami
    Anime songs? Don't you think
    that's too commonplace?
[09:18] Nanami
    Other groups sing them quite a bit.
[09:20] Nanami
    I want to do something unexpected.
[09:22] Nanami
    What about "Hikarizuka"?
[09:25] Miyu
    Would anyone enjoy that?
[09:28] Minami
    I'd prefer folk songs like "Ishinomaki
    Chatsumi-uta" or "Ishinomaki Sendou-uta."
[09:33] Yoshino
    I don't know about that, either.
[09:35] Minami
    I think the members of the
    folk song club would enjoy it.
[09:39] Yoshino
    What should we do?
SIGN    "Stand Up!"
SIGN    "16-Year-Old Agape"
[09:41] Yoshino
    Maybe anime songs.
[09:43] Miyu
    I know! I know!
[09:44] Miyu
    In that case, I have something
    I've danced to at work.
[09:48] Kaya
    This concert isn't just for you.
[09:50] Miyu
    What? But it's really cute.
[09:53] Minami
    Folk songs are cute, too.
[09:55] Nanami
    And *Hikarizuka'*s not
    so much cute as cool.
[09:57] Miyu
    Anime songs!
[09:59] Minami
    Folk songs!
[09:59] Nanami
    "Hikarizuka"!
[10:00] Yoshino
    H-Hey!
[10:05] Matsuda
    Are you sure you don't need to step in?
[10:07] Matsuda
    They're getting out of hand.
[10:09] Tange
    It's fine.
[10:11] Tange
    Now that they can say what they want,
[10:13] Tange
    they're taking another step forward.
[10:15] Tange
    Let them fight.
[10:16] Matsuda
    But we don't have
    many days to prepare.
[10:20] Yoshino
    If we're doing hit songs,
    maybe we should do I-1 Club songs?
[10:29] Yoshino
    Sorry.
[10:30] Mayu
    It's fine.
[10:31] Mayu
    You don't need to apologize.
[10:33] Mayu
    But with the I-1 Theater
    coming to Sendai,
[10:36] Mayu
    I don't think there's any need
    for us to sing their songs.
[10:41] Mayu
    Don't you think we should
    show our own colors?
[10:47] Kaya
    Yeah. Mayu's right.
[10:50] Miyu
    In that case, anime songs!
[10:51] Nanami
    Folk songs!
[10:52] Nanami
    "Hikarizuka"!

    I told you...

    I think things are coming together.
[11:57] Airi
    Yoppi, how was my choreography?
[11:59] Yoshino
    It's gotten a lot better.
[12:01] Airi
    Really? Great.
[12:05] Minami
    I'm hungry.
[12:06] Minami
    Can I have a snack?
[12:08] Miyu
    I baked some cookies.
[12:13] Mayu
    Did you make these yourself?
[12:14] Miyu
    Yes.
[12:15] Minami
    Thanks for the food!
[12:18] Nanami
    But I'll get fat if I have too many.
[12:23] Nanami
    I'm jealous of Minami
    in more than one way.
[12:29] Nanami
    Do you think they'll
    take all our customers?
[12:32] Miyu
    I don't think we can beat them.
[12:34] Kaya
    What good will saying that now do?
[12:37] Airi
    By the way, have you seen the members
    they're bringing to the Sendai theater?
[12:40] Minami
    Yeah, I did!
[12:41] Minami
    All the most popular members
    of I-1 are coming, right?
[12:45] Miyu
    Yeah.
[12:47] Miyu
    Shihocchi, Yoshimegu,
    Maimai, and Nanokasu.
[12:51] Miyu
    They're all top-class girls.
[12:54] Kaya
    They're really giving it
    everything they have.
[12:55] Mayu
    Beating them seems
    all the more hopeless.
[12:57] Yoshino
    Don't get too worked up.
[13:01] Mayu
    Let's get back to our lessons.
[13:02] Mayu
    There's no time to spare.

    If you could tell us what we
    did wrong, we'd appreciate it.
[14:17] Anna
    It was kind of a mess.
[14:19] All
    What?
[14:20] Anna
    First, you.
[14:21] Airi
    Yes.
[14:22] Anna
    You almost ran into
    someone and apologized.
[14:26] Airi
    Yes.
[14:27] Anna
    You need to make sure
    your audience doesn't notice that.
[14:30] Anna
    In fact, you probably
[14:32] Anna
    almost ran into each other
    because you held your position.
[14:35] Nanami
    Yes.
[14:36] Anna
    When that happens, gauge your distance.
[14:39] Anna
    It's okay if you step out of line a little,
[14:40] Anna
    but make sure you get out of her way.
[14:42] Nanami
    Okay.
[14:43] Anna
    The final step of leveling up is compassion.
[14:47] Nanami
    Okay.
[14:49] Karina
    How do you imagine
    yourselves dancing right now?
[14:52] Yoshino
    First, we must
    synchronize our choreography...
[14:54] Yoshino
    Oh, and rhythm.
[14:55] Karina
    Yeah. I got that feeling,
    but that's not what I meant.
[15:00] Yoshino
    Huh?
[15:01] Karina
    I was asking what it means
    to be Wake Up, Girls!
[15:08] Karina
    Are you guys fighting enough?
[15:11] Karina
    You should tell each other
    what you want to say.
[15:13] Karina
    You're part of the same group.
[15:15] Anna
    Of course, sometimes
    you say too much to me.
[15:26] Karina
    You should tell each other
    what you want to say.
[15:28] Karina
    You're part of the same group.
[15:40] Yoshino
    It's not easy for me to say.
[15:42] Yoshino
    I need her to talk to me first.
[15:54] Kaya
    How did it look?
[15:55] Miyu
    There's no one there.
[15:56] Nanami
    My nightmare became reality.
[15:58] Miyu
    And this is the wallpaper
    of the Sendai theater
[16:02] Miyu
    my shikigami returned to me.
[16:07] Minami
    What is this?
[16:09] Airi
    Is it packed?
[16:10] Miyu
    That's right.
[16:12] Miyu
    It's so unbelievably crowded,
    you can't even see the stage.
[16:17] Yoshino
    I knew it would be like this,
[16:18] Yoshino
    but seeing the difference
    is depressing.
[16:21] Minami
    We practiced hard.
[16:23] Minami
    Let's have fun at our own concert.
[16:25] Airi
    Yeah, you're right.

    It was written by Twinkle.
[17:56] Megumi
    Shihocchi and I turned pale,

    I'm sorry.

    Sure.

    Thanks for your hard work!
[19:22] All

    What's wrong? You seem down.
[19:27] Kaya
    You know how it went.
[19:29] Tange
    What? Did you think
    you could take on I-1?
[19:33] Tange
    You're not ready for that.
[19:36] Tange
    Oh, come on. What?
[19:38] Tange
    After only one concert?
    You're pathetic.

    You'd ruin a celebration
    with those despondent faces.
[19:45] Tange
    Let's disperse for today.
[19:54] Matsuda
    The president told me to come,
    and she's not here.
[19:58] Minami
    Is she the one who told us to come?
[20:00] Matsuda
    That's right.
[20:01] Matsuda
    She suddenly said, "Let's go
    to the I-1 Sendai Theater!"
[20:05] Kaya
    Just how mean is she?
[20:07] Matsuda
    No, it's not like that.
[20:09] Matsuda
    Tange-san's a little strange and
    irresponsible, but she's not mean.
[20:13] Matsuda
    I think she wants you to take
    it one honest step at a time.
[20:18] Matsuda
    That's what this was about.
[20:21] Tange
    What are you waiting for?
[20:23] Tange
    Let's go.
[20:25] Matsuda
    We were waiting for you!

    your question, but...

    What?

    We heard you recently

    How do you feel about that?

[02:49] Hayasaka
    I don't know how to answer that.

    Good evening!
[03:35] Minami
    It's time for "Sorry It's So Short"
    with Wake Up, Girls!
[03:38] Minami
    Recently, I've been really
    into impersonations.
[03:41] Minami
    I'd like to perform a few for you.
[03:45] Minami
    First up is my school's PE teacher.
[03:51] Tange
    Is that true?
[03:53] Hayasaka
    Why would I lie?
[03:57] Tange
    We're going to write this down,
    so we can't fight about it later.
[04:00] Tange
    Matsuda!
[04:01] Matsuda
    Yes!
[04:04] Hayasaka
    I don't mind signing something,
    but why are you so suspicious?
[04:08] Tange
    Because not only will you
    give us a ton of money,
[04:11] Tange
    but you don't want any in return.
[04:12] Tange
    It's far too suspicious.
[04:16] Hayasaka
    I told you that I don't want money.
[04:20] Tange
    Then, what do you want?
[04:21] Hayasaka
    I just want to cook some dirty
[04:24] Hayasaka
    and rough potatoes
    that can capture my interest.
[04:31] Hayasaka
    You'll understand eventually.
[04:35] Hayasaka
    When I return to Sendai next week,
[04:37] Hayasaka
    I'll be taking those little potatoes.
[04:41] Tange
    Sure. That's fine.
[04:43] Hayasaka
    See you later, then.
[04:47] Tange
    There's one thing I want to make clear.
[04:50] Hayasaka
    What might that be?
[04:52] Tange
    Does I-1 know about this?
[04:55] Hayasaka
    I haven't told them anything.
[04:57] Matsuda
    What? You haven't asked
    for their permission?
[05:00] Hayasaka
    Why should I worry
    about what he thinks?
[05:03] Matsuda
    But...
[05:04] Hayasaka
    Isn't everyone forever
    under I-1's control
[05:07] Hayasaka
    because we're constantly
    worried about how he feels?
[05:12] Hayasaka
    I think he'd have
    more purpose if someone
[05:14] Hayasaka
    who could catch him
    off guard were to appear.
[05:18] Matsuda
    I see...
[05:19] Hayasaka
    Besides, he doesn't own me,
    and I'll work with whoever I want.
[05:25] Hayasaka
    That's all.
[05:27] Tange
    You may be fine with that,
[05:30] Tange
    but we don't want to pick
    pointless fights with I-1.
[05:33] Tange
    You understand that, don't you?
[05:33] Hayasaka
    I'm sure Shiraki-san knows Green
    Leaves can't draw me away from him.
[05:39] Hayasaka
    It'll be fine.
[05:41] Hayasaka
    After all, I'm the one
    who approached you this time.
[05:46] Hayasaka
    Is that all?
[05:48] Hayasaka
    See you next week.
[05:54] Matsuda
    This is getting crazy, President.
[06:02] Matsuda
    Are you shaking?
[06:03] Tange
    I can't help it!
[06:10] Hayasaka
    What a bunch of country bumpkins.
[06:13] Hayasaka
    But that's what makes you so great.
[06:17] Hayasaka
    First, I'd like to hear
    each one of your voices.
[06:21] Hayasaka
    Say, "ah."
[06:23] Mayu
    Ah.
[06:25] Hayasaka
    That voice.
[06:27] Hayasaka
    It sounds just like an idol's.

    Why so suddenly?
[06:43] Tange
    I'd like to know, too.

    And he's doing it free of charge.

    We've got school and

[07:57] Hayasaka
    Okay, next pose.

[08:02] Hayasaka
    Okay, now listen like that.

    next Saturday, you'll perform three concerts.
[08:12] Hayasaka
    Are you listening?

    We're listening...

    Then respond.
[08:16] All
    Y-Yes!
[08:18] Hayasaka
    I saw your performance
    the other day, but honestly, no.
[08:23] Hayasaka
    That wasn't enough.
    It was unprofessional.
[08:26] Hayasaka
    It's not unreasonable, though.
    You don't have much experience.
[08:30] Hayasaka
    That's why I've planned for you
[08:32] Hayasaka
    to perform more concerts
    and learn through experience.
[08:36] Hayasaka
    Your first concert, well...
[08:38] Hayasaka
    You don't have many songs,
    so we'll call it an hour.
[08:41] Hayasaka
    I was thinking we'd plan for concerts
    at 2 PM, 4 PM, and 6 PM.

    Hey, are you listening?

[19:05] Miyu
    No, not that. I'm talking
    about Hayasaka-san.
[19:08] Kaya
    Oh...
[19:09] Miyu
    You know I'm someone
    who grows with praise.
[19:12] Kaya
    I don't know anything about that.
[19:14] Miyu
    Well, when someone keeps telling
    me I'm bad, I lose all my energy.
[19:21] Kaya
    Yeah, I might have
    thought about that, too.
[19:24] Miyu
    What?
[19:25] Kaya
    Being abused like that
    really pisses me off.
[19:28] Kaya
    If this were one of my jobs,
    I'd have quit a long time ago.
[19:31] Miyu
    Yeah...
[19:32] Kaya
    Like why are we even doing this?
[19:45] Hayasaka
    There's still time in a lot of ways.
SIGN    If you want it, you can do it
[20:02] Mother
    Airi, it's time for dinner!
[20:07] Mother
    Airi!
[20:09] Airi
    Okay...
[20:14] MAI
    People often ask me what a captain does,
[20:18] MAI
    and I think I have the strength
    to support my team from the shadows.
[20:23] MAI
    For example,
[20:24] MAI
    when someone looks like they're about
[20:25] MAI
    to mentally fall from the stage,
[20:27] MAI
    I support them, so they don't fall.
[20:29] MAI
    It can be hard, but because
    it's for the team,
[20:32] MAI
    I've never disliked doing it.
[20:49] Yoshino
    Mayu, where's Airi?
[20:51] Mayu
    Huh? She's not here?
[20:52] Minami
    She's usually the first or second one here.
[20:56] Kaya
    She's never been late.
[20:58] Miyu
    She didn't get in an accident, did she?
[21:02] Nanami
    Don't be so negative!
[21:05] Yoshino
    This isn't good.
[21:06] Yoshino
    He said he wouldn't hold
    lessons if anyone was late.
[21:09] Mayu
    It's no use.
[21:09] Mayu
    She's not answering.
[21:16] Yoshino
    Um, Airi's still not here.
[21:19] Minami
    Ai-chan's never been late before.
[21:22] Minami
    We thought something
    might have happened to her.
[21:24] Hayasaka
    I did some of my own thinking
    after last week's performance.
[21:28] Hayasaka
    In my opinion, Wake Up, Girls!
    doesn't need Hayashida Airi.
[21:35] Hayasaka
    As you all know,
[21:37] Hayasaka
    I am currently responsible
    for managing Wake Up, Girls!.
[21:41] Hayasaka
    Let me cut to the chase.
[21:42] Hayasaka
    I'm thinking of cutting
    Hayashida Airi from the group.
[21:45] Kaya
    Hold on! You can't just...
[21:47] Hayasaka
    I just told you.
[21:49] Hayasaka
    You're currently under my control.
[21:52] Hayasaka
    If you're willing to cut
    Hayashida Airi now,
[21:55] Hayasaka
    I will continue your lessons.
[21:57] Hayasaka
    If you can't, you're all fired.
[22:03] Hayasaka
    Give me your decision in ten minutes.

[23:45] Minami
    Yoppi, what does "thanx" mean?
[23:47] Yoshino
    I think it's a different way
    of saying "thank you".
[23:49] Minami
    What about "fishing it
    up with a girl in Ginza"?
[23:51] Yoshino
    Minami, where did you
    learn these words?

[01:30] Hayasaka
    In my opinion, Wake Up, Girls!
    doesn't need Hayashida Airi.
[01:37] Hayasaka
    As you all know,
[01:39] Hayasaka
    I am currently responsible
    for managing Wake Up, Girls!.
[01:43] Hayasaka
    Let me cut to the chase.
[01:44] Hayasaka
    I'm thinking of cutting
    Hayashida Airi from the group.
[01:47] Kaya
    Hold on! You can't just...
[01:49] Hayasaka
    I just told you.
[01:50] Hayasaka
    You're currently under my control.
[01:54] Hayasaka

[02:05] Hayasaka
    Give me your decision in ten minutes.
[02:16] Matsuda
    Why did you say that?!
[02:22] Hayasaka
    I simply cast a stone.
[02:25] Matsuda
    What? I'm not interested
    in discussing Zen riddles with you!
[02:29] Hayasaka
    Neither am I.
[02:32] Matsuda
    Considering you work with I-1,
[02:35] Matsuda
    it's no wonder you think
    Wake Up, Girls! is terrible.
[02:38] Matsuda
    They're hardly professionals,
[02:40] Matsuda
    but they're working through
    it at their own pace.
[02:46] Matsuda
    If you shake them now when their
    teamwork isn't solid yet, they...
[02:52] Tange
    If that's all it takes to crush them,
    they're not good enough.
[02:55] Matsuda
    President!
[02:57] Hayasaka
    Lions push their cubs
    off cliffs and raise
[03:01] Hayasaka
    only those who climb back up.
[03:05] Hayasaka
    Those who can't climb back up
    the cliff can't survive in the jungle.
[03:09] Hayasaka
    But don't expect me to say
    something so hot-blooded.
[03:18] Hayasaka
    Potatoes can't come climbing back
    up if you roll them down a hill.
[03:24] Matsuda
    President!
[03:26] Matsuda
    Say something!
[03:33] Miyu
    What should we do?
[03:34] Nanami
    There's nothing we can do.
[03:37] Miyu
    Huh? Are you saying
    we should cut Ai-chan?
[03:41] Nanami
    That's not what I said.
[03:44] Kaya
    What should we do, leader?
[03:45] Yoshino
    What?
[03:51] Nanami
    We only have seven minutes left.
[03:55] Miyu
    Should we take a vote?
[03:56] Kaya
    Without even talking about it?
[03:59] Nanami
    But time keeps passing
    while we talk about it.
[04:03] Miyu
    Yoppi!
[04:05] Yoshino
    Stop forcing me
    to make every decision!
[04:07] Miyu
    Huh? But you're our leader...
[04:11] Yoshino
    Yeah, but why do I
    have to make the decision?
[04:15] Miyu
    We're not asking you to do that.
[04:18] Kaya
    We won't get anywhere like this.
[04:21] Nanami
    We're running out of time!
[04:24] Kaya
    You shut up.
[04:25] Nanami
    But...
[04:27] Yoshino
    What should I do, then?!
[04:28] Yoshino
    Should I decide if we're voting or not?!
[04:31] Kaya
    It's not like that.
[04:39] Hayasaka
    Honestly speaking, I don't
    think you have any talent.
[05:04] Hayasaka
    Why are you having fun?
[05:15] Mayu
    It's almost time.
[05:19] Mayu
    I want Airi to stay.
[05:23] Yoshino
    Does that mean you're okay
    with everyone being fired?
[05:28] Miyu
    What?!
[05:29] Kaya
    Are you saying you'd cut her?
[05:35] Yoshino
    This must be the difference
    between us and I-1.
[05:40] Nanami
    What do you mean?
[05:42] Yoshino
    We're not sure if we're just
    playing with our friends or not.
[05:46] Nanami
    I don't get it.
[05:48] Yoshino
    Because we get upset so easily,
[05:50] Yoshino
    we'll be treated like amateurs forever!
[05:53] Miyu
    Treated like amateurs?
[05:55] Yoshino
    Isn't it true, though?
[05:57] Yoshino
    That's why people
    say Wake Up, Girls!
[05:59] Yoshino
    doesn't exist without Shimada Mayu!
[06:01] Kaya
    You're bringing that up now?
[06:03] Yoshino
    After all, we're not
    here to make friends.
[06:08] Yoshino
    We're here to become idols.
[06:11] Miyu
    Yoppi's right.
[06:16] Nanami
    I'm sick of fighting like this!
[06:20] Nanami
    I quit.
[06:21] Nanami
    I wanted to go to Hikarizuka
    in the first place.
[06:24] Nanami
    I was just doing this
    to improve my skills until then.
[06:27] Miyu
    What? This was just
    a stepping stone for you?
[06:29] Kaya
    Your dream or delusion
    has nothing to do with this.
[06:34] Nanami
    What are you calling a delusion?
[06:35] Nanami
    Don't call it that!
[06:37] Miyu
    We're getting off track.
[06:39] Minami
    Stop!
[06:41] All
    What?
[06:43] Minami
    I'm so hungry!
[06:47] Nanami
    Minami.
[06:54] Kaya
    Here.
[07:00] Mayu
    Yoppi.
[07:02] Mayu
    I'm not sure how to put this,
    but is that what we're doing?
[07:07] Yoshino
    What?
[07:09] Mayu
    You're right that we're
    here to become idols,
[07:12] Mayu
    but is that what being
    an idol is about?
[07:17] Mayu
    I don't think it's
    Wake Up, Girls! without Airi.
[07:23] Minami
    Yeah.
[07:24] Minami
    Even the president said the
[07:26] Minami
    seven of us together
    make Wake Up, Girls!.
[07:29] Miyu
    You're right.
[07:30] Miyu
    When I ran away,
    Airi came to get me.
[07:35] Mayu
    I'll bring her back.
[07:37] Mayu
    I'll bring Airi back.
[07:41] Minami
    I'll go with you.
[07:42] Kaya
    So will I.
[07:43] Miyu
    I'll go, too.
[07:45] Nanami
    Me, too.
[07:46] Yoshino
    No, I'll go.
[07:48] Yoshino
    After all, I'm the leader.
[07:50] Yoshino
    Mayushi.
[07:57] Kaya
    This is our decision, right?
[07:59] All
    What?
[08:00] Kaya
    We're not abandoning Airi.
[08:03] Miyu
    Yes.
[08:05] Kaya
    Don't you think we're
    being messed with?
[08:07] Kaya
    I feel like we're being
    thrown out of order.
[08:11] Kaya
    Besides, he has no right to fire us.
[08:14] Miyu
    But even the president said
    he had total control over us.
[08:19] Kaya
    Then let's try talking
    to the president.
[08:22] Miyu
    Yeah.
SIGN    Next Stop: Kita-Yobancho
[08:27] Yoshino
    I can't believe Ai-chan skipped
    practice without saying anything.
[08:30] Mayu
    Yeah.
[08:31] Yoshino
    Hayasaka-san must have
    been pretty hard on her.
[08:34] Mayu
    Probably.
[08:36] Yoshino
    You waited for her
    that day, didn't you?
[08:39] Yoshino
    Have you heard anything?
[08:42] Mayu
    She didn't tell me anything.
[08:44] Yoshino
    She didn't tell you, huh?
[08:48] Yoshino
    I understand how that feels.
[08:51] Mayu
    Huh?
[08:52] Announcer
    The next stop is Kita-Yobancho.
[08:58] Tange
    I heard.
[09:00] Miyu
    Then you understand
    what's wrong with
[09:02] Miyu
    what Hayasaka-san is saying, right?
[09:05] Tange
    What's so wrong about it?
[09:06] Miyu
    We belong to Green Leaves, don't we?
[09:11] Miyu
    You're the only one who
    can decide if we're fired.
[09:16] Tange
    Didn't I tell you?
[09:18] Tange
    I'm leaving it up to
    Hayasaka-san this time.
[09:22] Nanami
    I knew this would happen.
[09:23] Kaya
    But we want to keep working
    as a group of seven with Airi.
[09:30] Matsuda
    You can't smoke in here.
[09:33] Tange
    Aren't you talking
    to the wrong person?
[09:35] Kaya
    What?
[09:36] Tange
    Go confront Hayasaka-san.
[09:39] Nanami
    So that's your answer.
[09:40] Miyu
    This is getting crazy.
[09:42] Kaya
    I understand.
[09:43] Kaya
    Where is he?
SIGN    Kumagaiya
[09:55] Dad
    What do you want?
[09:56] Airi
    Huh? I thought I'd help out.
[10:00] Dad
    What brings you here?
[10:03] Airi
    Huh? The daughter
    of a confectioner doesn't need
[10:07] Airi
    a reason to make sweets.
[10:09] Airi
    So this is how you make them.
[10:12] Dad
    You're in the way.
[10:13] Airi
    Isn't there anything I can do to help?
[10:17] Dad
    No.
[10:19] Dad
    Don't you have your thing today?
[10:21] Airi
    What?
[10:22] Dad
    You're always going to your lessons.
[10:27] Dad
    Go line up those sweets.
[10:31] Airi
    Okay.
[10:34] Mom
    Huh?
[10:36] Mom
    Airi, you're helping around
    the shop? How unusual.
[10:39] Airi
    Yeah.

    You must be so happy, Dad.

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

    So that's what happened.
[17:19] Yoshino
    What?
[17:20] Airi
    Don't worry about me anymore.
[17:24] Airi
    I don't want to cause
    any more trouble.
[17:26] Yoshino
    You said we shouldn't
    worry on our own!
[17:29] Yoshino
    You're the one who said
    we shouldn't worry on our own.
[17:33] Yoshino
    Worry with the rest of us, then.
[17:35] Yoshino
    Let's think together.
[17:37] Yoshino
    If we don't do that,

    You can talk to us about anything.

    An idol festival?
[02:19] Newbies
    G-Good morning.
[02:34] Shiraki
    Good work on your daily lessons.
[02:37] Shiraki
    As you all know,
[02:39] Shiraki
    the I-1 Club National 47 Prefecture
    Love Connection Project
[02:43] Shiraki
    will meet its goal
[02:45] Shiraki
    of opening a theater in every
    prefecture by the end of the year.
[02:50] Shiraki
    But it's far too early to relax.
[02:53] Shiraki
    The battle is only just beginning.
[02:54] Shiraki
    The Idol Festival!
[02:58] Shiraki
    This year, you'll face the idol
    groups across the country you've been
[03:04] Shiraki
    competing with on I-1's home turf, Tokyo.
[03:08] Shiraki
    Those who make it through
    their local preliminaries
[03:11] Shiraki
    will challenge us at the end of the year.
[03:14] Shiraki
    Of course, you won't
    compete with them directly.
[03:17] Shiraki
    However, standing on the
    same stage with them
[03:19] Shiraki
    is the same as battling them.
[03:21] Shiraki
    You will engage them, take them down,
    and crush them to smithereens!
[03:30] Shiraki
    Oh, and numbers 1135, 1136, and 1137.
[03:35] Girls
    Y-Yes!
[03:37] Shiraki
    You greeted me just now
    when I entered the room.
[03:40] Girls
    Yes!
[03:42] Shiraki
    Are you stupid?
[03:44] Shiraki
    Listen carefully.
[03:45] Shiraki
    The battlefield extends beyond the stage.
[03:48] Shiraki
    It even applies to your lessons.
[03:50] Shiraki
    Let your guard down even a little,
    and you're finished.
[03:53] Shiraki
    Once you stand here,
    pay no attention to anything else.
[03:58] Shiraki
    Focus solely on your singing and dancing.
[04:00] Shiraki
    Nothing captures the hearts
    of fans more than focus.
[04:04] Girls
    We're sorry!
[04:06] Shiraki
    There are no second chances.
[04:08] Shiraki
    Anyway, it's time for
    the usual announcements.
[04:11] Shiraki
    189, 490, 795, 864, 1003, and 1129.
[04:19] Shiraki
    Good bye to the six of you.
[04:21] Shiraki
    Don't come back, starting tomorrow.
[04:24] Shiraki
    In this age of warring idols,
    we must protect our position of power.
[04:28] Shiraki
    Let us conclude this day by singing
[04:31] Shiraki
    the necessary attributes
    of a popular idol together.

    What? Hayasaka-san is?

    Yeah. I heard he's producing that
    Sendai group Shimada Mayu's in.
[05:15] Moeka
    They must be amazing if
    Hayasaka-san has his eye on them.
[05:19] Moeka
    But isn't Wake Up, Girls! from
    a really small and weak agency?
[05:24] Moeka
    I'm surprised they could afford him.

    It's not like that.

    Should you be impressed?

    he went to see a Wake Up, Girls!
    concert and asked to produce them...

    Oh? You already heard about that?
[06:14] Shiraki
    Long ago. Even my girls know about it.
[06:17] Hayasaka
    How terrifying.
[06:19] Hayasaka
    The walls have ears,
    and the doors have eyes.
[06:22] Shiraki
    Well, you can't have too many rivals.
[06:25] Shiraki
    If you're always leading the pack,
    your times will never improve.
[06:29] Shiraki
    It's the blues of being the top runner.
[06:32] Hayasaka
    I thought you'd say that.
[06:34] Shiraki
    Shimada Mayu is good, isn't she?
[06:37] Hayasaka
    What?
[06:38] Hayasaka
    Oh, it's certainly no wonder
    she was I-1's first center.
[06:43] Shiraki
    If she pulls the other
    amateur members along,
[06:47] Shiraki
    Wake Up, Girls! might end up
    being an interesting group.
[06:51] Hayasaka
    I don't know about that.
[06:52] Hayasaka
    Do you really think she can do that?
[06:54] Hayasaka
    Anyway, the Idol Festival is
    excited by the simple fact
[06:58] Hayasaka
    of Shimada Mayu's participation.
[07:01] Hayasaka
    Isn't that good news for you?

    I suppose.

    I wonder if Mayushi's okay.
[12:57] Kaya
    I'll handle it, if I have to.
[12:58] Miyu
    What are you? A hit man?
[13:02] Shiho
    I heard you're participating
    in the Idol Festival, too.
[13:05] Mayu
    Yeah.
[13:06] Shiho
    Don't forget you used to be part of I-1.
[13:10] Mayu
    What?
[13:11] Shiho
    If you're just going to
    produce embarrassing results,
[13:13] Shiho
    it's better not to participate at all.
[13:15] Shiho
    You'll damage I-1's reputation.
[13:19] Shiho
    If you're coming, bring everything you have.
[13:21] Shiho
    I'll crush you will all I've got.
[13:27] Shiho
    Thank you for today.
[13:29] Boss
    No. Thank you.
[13:30] Boss
    Please come again.
[13:36] Miyu
    Are you all right?
[13:37] Airi
    Did she say anything mean?
[13:41] Yoshino
    What did she say to you?
[13:43] Mayu
    It wasn't anything special.
[13:46] Minami
    Our pancakes are getting cold over there.
[13:49] Minami
    Poor pancakes.
[13:51] Mayu
    You're right. Sorry.
SIGN    It's happening again this year! The battle to determine the nation's greatest idol, the Idol Festival. This year marks the fourth time the nation's greatest idol will be chosen. The winning group will be officially recognized as I-1's rival and will make their major debut and receive a one-year contract.
SIGN    "Idol Festival 2014"
SIGN    I'm so excited for the center battle!
SIGN    I'm amazed Shimada's brazenly working as an idol. WUG brought in Hayasaka for help! Who knows what will happen now?
[14:02] Ota
    I can't help that WUG is
[14:04] Ota
    compared to I-1 and criticized
    with Mayushi in their roster.
[14:07] Ota
    However, I hope WUG ignores
    such comments and grows
[14:11] Ota
    in their own way at their own pace.

    Regional preliminary idol predictions?
[14:18] Miyu
    Hokkaido's Puchi Marimo,
    Nagoya's Akamiso All-stars,
[14:21] Miyu

    are sure things.
[14:24] Miyu
    However, everyone's focused
    on the dark horse,

    Wake Up, Girls!...
[14:32] Miyu
    It wouldn't be impossible
    for us to win!
[14:34] Minami
    To win?
[14:35] Minami
    Let me see that!
[14:37] Airi
    Me, too!
[14:38] Miyu
    If we win, we'll make
    our mainstream debut.
[14:41] Miyu
    It'll be our big break.
[14:43] Airi
    We'll be on the covers
    of all kinds of magazines.
[14:45] Minami
    We might even appear on music
    shows on Tokyo TV stations.
[14:49] All
    And at the end of the year,
    the Red vs. White Concert...
[14:53] Miyu
    We've got to do it!
[14:56] Miyu
    WUG's time is coming!

[15:42] Airi
    I'm sorry.
[15:44] Minami
    I'm out.
[15:45] Kaya
    I'm thirsty, too.
[15:47] Kaya
    Do you want me to get some for you?
[15:49] Minami
    Sure.
[15:51] Minami
    Why don't you two take a break, too?
[15:54] Mayu
    But we need to practice a little more.
[15:56] Yoshino
    Don't you think you're working too hard?
[15:59] Mayu
    When I was part of I-1, we practiced more.
[16:02] Yoshino
    Why would you say that?
[16:03] Airi
    It's okay.
[16:05] Airi
    I asked Mayu to teach me.
[16:08] Yoshino
    It's late.
[16:09] Yoshino
    Why don't you stop for today
    and pick things up tomorrow?
[16:14] Airi
    I'm going to stay and keep practicing.
[16:17] Airi
    You girls can go ahead.
[16:20] Airi
    Mayushi, I hope you'll
    teach me again tomorrow.
[16:24] Nanami
    I'll stay, too.
[16:25] Airi
    Huh?
[16:31] Yoshino
    Do you want to stop by
    Honeybee again today?
[16:32] Miyu

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

    Can I read it?
[07:34] Kaya
    Yeah.
[07:37] Mayu
    Kaya-chan, how are you?
[07:38] Mayu
    A buoy with a Shoutoumaru
    mark washed up in Alaska.
[07:42] Mayu
    We decided to take it.
[07:44] Mayu
    Anyway, Kaya-chan,
    why don't you come home?
[07:48] Mayu
    What is this?
[07:49] Kaya
    I got that letter from my aunt last year.
[07:53] Kaya
    Three years ago, I lost
    many important things.
[08:00] Kaya
    Living here became really difficult.
[08:03] Kaya
    I ran away to Sendai.
[08:06] Kaya
    Anyway, I still couldn't go home,
    even after receiving that letter.
[08:11] Kaya
    I couldn't make the decision
    to return for so long.
[08:16] Kaya
    In the end, I idled around in Sendai.
[08:19] Kaya
    I didn't know what to do.
[08:22] Kaya
    Then I happened to see it.

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

    Yeah. I caused trouble for my dad, too.

    That's rough.
[17:34] Mayu
    In the end, because of my work
    in the entertainment industry,
[17:37] Mayu
    my parents got divorced.
[17:39] Mayu
    I was fired from I-1.
[17:42] Mayu
    I returned to my mother's home in Sendai.
[17:45] Mayu
    I've been running, too.
[17:50] Mayu
    But I can't give up singing and dancing.
[17:54] Mayu
    That's why I wanted to give it another try.
[17:58] Kaya
    I see.
[18:00] Mayu
    I'd be lying if I said I didn't
    hold a grudge against I-1.
[18:03] Mayu
    I've been traumatized by
     the entertainment industry, too.
[18:06] Mayu
    But since meeting
    President Tange, Matsuda-san,
[18:10] Mayu
    and everyone in Wake Up, Girls!...
[18:14] Mayu
    I want to overcome that.
[18:16] Mayu
    No, I believe I can overcome that.
[18:21] Mayu
    After all, I've learned a lot of things
[18:25] Mayu
    I didn't know when I was in I-1.
[18:27] Mayu
    I hope you'll support us!

    That's why I wanted
    to stand on the stage again
[18:47] Mayu
    with everyone from Green Leaves.
[18:50] Mayu
    I felt like I was going nowhere.
[18:54] Kaya
    I see how it is now.
[18:55] Mayu
    I finally believe I'm here
    to make myself happy.
[19:04] Kaya

[01:57] Yoshino
    Hey, look at this.
[02:00] Miyu
    Are they entertainers?
[02:01] Kaya
    They're so unique.
[02:03] Airi
    They've got an incredible
    aura in more than one way...
[02:07] Nanami
    But don't they seem more
    like comedians than idols?
[02:11] Matsuda
    You're right. I don't
    think we'll lose to them.
[02:14] Tange
    Don't be stupid.
[02:17] Tange
    You'll run into trouble
    if you underestimate them.
[02:20] Matsuda
    What?
[02:21] Tange
    You don't understand, do you?
[02:23] Tange
    These comedic groups
    are the real danger.
[02:26] Matsuda
    What?
[02:27] Tange
    Plenty of idol groups are
    good at singing and dancing.
[02:31] Tange
    The groups that make
[02:33] Tange
    the strongest impact
    in the judges' eyes control the game.
[02:36] Tange
    In that respect, the Demons of Oga
    are doing better than us.

[02:34] Nanami
    we'll be singing in front of the I-1 Club.
[02:37] Nanami
    I definitely don't want to do that.
[02:38] Minami
    Yeah, neither do I.
[02:40] Hayasaka
    Congratulations.
[02:43] Hayasaka
    I don't know what miracle happened,
[02:45] Hayasaka
    but I heard you made it
    through the preliminaries.

    Bastard!
[02:49] Matsuda
    Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
[02:51] Tange
    Get out of the way, Matsuda!
[02:55] Hayasaka
    I thought of an even better song,
    so I gave that one to I-1.
[03:01] Tange
    What?
[03:02] Matsuda
    I don't understand
    your thinking at all.
[03:07] Hayasaka
    You can't help that.
    You're an ordinary person.
[03:11] Hayasaka
    See? Isn't this one way better?
[03:15] Tange
    This time, I'm going to have
    you sign a contract first.
[03:20] Hayasaka
    When I heard you made it
    through the preliminaries,
[03:22] Hayasaka
    I had a thought, too.
[03:24] Hayasaka
    It's time to really do this.
[03:26] Tange
    Does this mean you've just been
    doing this for fun until now?
[03:29] Hayasaka
    No, I've been serious the whole time.
[03:31] Hayasaka
    But now I guess I'm mega-serious.
[03:35] Yoshino
    You expect us to perform
[03:37] Yoshino
    a new song at the finals
    with so little time to prepare?
[03:40] Hayasaka
    That's right. I told you,
    I'm tera-serious.
[03:43] Matsuda
    He's getting more serious...
[03:45] Hayasaka
    If you win the Idol Festival,
[03:47] Hayasaka
    you'll be officially recognized as I-1's rival.
[03:52] Hayasaka
    You could even say it would
    make you a top idol group.
[03:55] Hayasaka
    Top idols can learn new songs
    and choreography in a day.

    If you can't do that,
    you won't last long in this industry.

    Are you saying we'll win if we can do this?
[04:08] Hayasaka
    That's up to you girls.
[04:11] Hayasaka
    Oh, by the way...
[04:13] Hayasaka
    This song's center is Nanase Yoshino.

    What?

    It's you.

    How many people does this place hold?
[19:06] Ota
    27,000!
[19:08] Man
    That's a hundred Macanas!
[19:09] Asazu
    Don't get swallowed up, WUG!
[19:11] Ota
    All right! Let's practice our cheer!
[19:13] All
    Yeah!
[19:16] Miyu
    Maybe it's ten... no, a hundred
    times bigger than Macana.
[19:21] Nanami
    Yeah.
[19:22] Minami
    A bunch of people are coming in here.
[19:26] Kaya
    It's amazing.
[19:28] Airi
    I wonder if they'll hear
    us in such a big place.
[19:31] Nanami
    We'll be using mics,
    so don't worry about that.
[19:34] Nanami
    But we might want to make
    our dancing more dynamic.
[19:37] Mayu
    Yeah.
[19:40] Mayu
    Yoppi?
[19:41] Yoshino
    I'm fine.
[19:43] Yoshino
    We just have to do
    what we've been doing.
[19:45] Man
    Please get off the stage.
[19:47] Man
    The I-1 Club's coming in.
[19:51] Staff
    Watch out!
[19:53] Yoshino
    Sorry.
[19:54] Minami
    Are you okay?
[19:57] Yoshino
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[19:59] Airi
    You sure?
[20:00] Yoshino
    Yeah.
[20:02] Man
    Excuse me. I believe it's
    written on the schedule,
[20:05] Man
    but the I-1 Club
    has a live TV appearance.
[20:08] Man
    They'll be doing their tech rehearsal first.
[20:11] Megumi
    Mayu!
[20:13] Mayu
    Megumi!
[20:15] Megumi
    Are you leaving right after this?
[20:17] Megumi
    If you have time, do you want
    to get something to eat?
[20:20] Mayu
    Sure, yeah.
[20:22] Shiho
    You came.
[20:25] Shiho
    I told you before, but come
    at us with everything you have.
[20:28] Mayu
    I know.
[20:39] Kaya
    That center never changes.
[20:44] All
    Thanks for working with us!

[21:13] Tange
    They're the best.
[21:18] SONG
    I made a slideshow...
[21:21] Hayasaka
    I wouldn't expect any less from I-1.
[21:24] Shiraki
    That doesn't sound like a compliment.
[21:27] Hayasaka
    It is.
[21:29] Hayasaka
    But if you're asking
    if I think it's interesting...
[21:33] Man
    Lights and sound.
    Does everything look okay?
[21:37] Man
    Good work, everyone.
[21:39] All
    Thank you!
[21:43] Man
    Finalists, gather back here in 30 minutes.
[21:48] All
    Yes, sir!
[21:49] Kaya
    It's finally here.
[21:51] Miyu
    It's almost time.
[21:52] Miyu
    I'm so nervous, I feel like my

    I'm fine.
[01:49] Yoshino
    We just have to do
    what we've been doing.
[01:51] Man
    Please get off the stage.
[01:53] Man
    The I-1 Club's coming in.
[02:06] Yoshino
    What am I going to do?
[02:07] Yoshino
    What should I do?
[02:09] Yoshino
    Why now?
[02:12] Yoshino
    Why did this have to happen now?
[02:15] WUG
    Yoppi, are you in there?
[02:18] Yoshino
    Yeah.
[02:19] WUG
    It's time to go.
[02:20] Yoshino
    I'll be right there.
[02:33] WUG
    What's wrong?
[02:35] Yoshino
    Nothing. I was just
    pumping myself up.
[02:37] WUG
    Really?
[02:39] Nanami
    Yoppi, we're rehearsing next.
[02:41] Yoshino
    Sorry.
[02:43] Mayu
    We only have ten minutes.
[02:45] Yoshino
    Really?
[02:48] Nanami
    Huh? Aren't we going
    to form a circle?
[02:51] Kaya
    Keep it together, leader.
[02:53] Yoshino
    Sorry.
[02:56] Yoshino
    Here we go!
[02:56] WUG
    We can do it!
[02:57] All
    Wake Up, Girls!!
[03:00] Man
    We're going to start the music.
[03:03] Airi

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

[11:57] Yoshino
    Yes.
[11:59] Minami
    Are you okay, Yoppi?
[12:02] Airi
    If it hurts, don't force yourself to perform.
[12:04] Nanami
    We'll cover you.
[12:05] Miyu
    Yoppi!
[12:07] Kaya
    Why are you crying now?
[12:10] Mayu
    Yoppi.
[12:12] Yoshino
    It's been a year since then.
[12:14] Mayu
    What?
[12:16] Yoshino
    Since our debut concert in Kotodai Park.
[12:21] Yoshino
    I never imagined then
    that we'd be standing here now.
[12:25] Mayu
    But we really are here.
[12:28] Yoshino
    Yeah.

[16:56] I-1 Club
    You were right, Shihocchi.
[16:57] I-1 Club
    It must be because
    Hayasaka's song is so good.
[17:00] Megumi
    It's not that.
[17:00] Megumi
    The song has nothing to do with it.
[17:02] Megumi

    I believe there are three ways
    to make people happy.
[19:34] Mayu
    There are those who make many
    people happy throughout the world.
[19:37] Shiho
    This is "First-Rate Smile!"
[19:42] Mayu
    Those who make those
    around themselves happy.

    That's where you used
    to be standing, Mayushi.
[19:55] Mayu
    No. I belong with Wake Up, Girls!.

    Let's have another
    round of applause for all
[20:30] Announcer
    the idols who participated today!
[20:34] Mayu
    There's one other thing
    I learned about happiness.
[20:38] Mayu
    It's that you can't make anyone
    happy if you're not happy yourself.
[20:46] Mayu
    That's why I think I might be
    able to make someone happy now.

    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!

[07:13] Tange
    Sometimes you come up with

[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.

    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.

    She did work at Tenpari.

    That's the plan, so help out

    It's as delicious as a close

    It's so full of unidentified umami,
     it's turning my stomach into a black hole.

    Hey, did you watch yesterday's

[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.

    I'm not walking.

    Speaking of idols, these

[14:44] Boy A
    V-dols.

    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?

[15:53] Miyu
    And Minyami, welcome back.
[15:55] Miyu
    The bath's ready for you.

    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.

    That should do it for today.

    Yeah. It's a good time to stop.

    I'm hungry.

[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

[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.

    I-1's choreography is high level.

    Yeah.

[04:51] Yoko
    What are we supposed to do?
[04:54] Mitsuki
    Calm down, Yoko.
[04:55] Mitsuki
    We still have time.
    Let's think about it.
[04:58] Tagami P
    They've become Mitsuki and Yoko.
[05:00] Murashita D
    And you always finish filming
    just when it's starting to get good.
[05:04] Tagami P
    It happens.
[05:05] Tagami P
    Well, ratings are decent, so that's a relief.
[05:09] Murashita D
    Leave it to me.
[05:10] Murashita D
    We'll charge straight through
    to the final episode.
[05:13] Tagami P
    Ah, how encouraging.
[05:15] Murashita D
    Okay, cut!
[05:16] Shiho
    Excuse me, Tagami-san, Director Murashita.
[05:19] Shiho
    I'd like to discuss something with you.
[05:21] Tagami P
    What is it?
[05:23] Shiho
    I guess you could say it's
    a suggestion or a request.
[05:27] Shiho
    Could you let me draw Yoko's
    drawing in the final episode?
[05:30] Both
    What?
[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!

    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.

    Oh, you don't need to go back there anymore.
[08:56] Both
    What?
[08:57] Shiraki
    Attention, please.

    focusing on the main I-1 club in Tokyo.
[09:31] Rena
    But... what about the Yokohama theater?

    Who will perform at Kobe?

    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.

    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!

    Ready...

    Go!

    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

    Before we aired.
[15:52] Mayu
    Oh.

    I'm sorry about that. That was rude of me.

    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.

    Since the focus of this episode is

    What? A concert without Minyami?
[03:33] Nanami
    Will we be changing our formation?
[03:35] Mayu
    We should probably think about it.

    I mean, the beasts of WUG Zoo
    are hiding, and it's your job to find them.

    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.

    You think?

    Um, excuse me...

    But then the WUGners wouldn't
    get to enjoy looking for us.

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!

    Thanks for being an extra in the drama.

    Good luck to both of us, then.
[21:48] Ayumi

[21:51] Ayumi
    I will become an idol.

    All of you will be reborn.

    As members of Sendai's first

[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.

    Come on. You can't be exhausted already.
[03:27] Nanami
    Yeah. How many songs do you think

    After all, it is a full album.
[03:33] Yoshino

    Yeah. It's a little way off,

[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?
[18:26] BG Girl
    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

[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

[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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    I need to pick up some materials
    for my next job from Matsuda-san.

[10:30] Yoshino
    Okay. See you later.

[10:41] Matsuda
    Still the same.
[10:43] Tange

[11:22] Airi
    Are you sure we should be asking her?
[11:24] Airi
    Right, Mayushi?

    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.

[11:56] Tange
    Just go.
[11:58] Tange
    If you keep complaining, I'll cut your pay.

    Yeah.

    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.

    Yeah, but how are we going to do that?

    of ourselves, so everyone

    There were people staring at their smart

[15:48] Airi
    Huh?
[15:50] Yoshino

[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
    Underpants!
[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.

[09:11] Moka
    Why? You can't expect me to accept

    I need a hundred copies of this.

    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.

    Mayushi?

    I'm pretty sure.

    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.

[20:38] Yoshino
    You're right. It'd be good
    for noting down lyrics.

[20:44] Nanami
    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.

[03:30] Kaya
    That's short. Is this all?

    Don't you think he calls

[03:33] Mayu
    New buds?
[03:35] Airi

    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
    on it, but it's as good as done.
[04:37] Minami
    All right! I'm excited!
[04:39] Nanami
    This time, I'll do a good
    job talking to Hamori-san!
[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

    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.

    What?

    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.

    Maybe we could be

    Wow! You came?

    Thanks.
[17:42] Kaya
    You didn't disband.
[17:44] Yoko
    Yeah. Our agency shut down.
[17:47] Yoko
    We didn't have a choice.
[17:49] Miyu
    What? Your agency?
[17:50] Saki
    Yeah. We're freelance now.
[17:53] Yui
    We work part time and book concerts

[18:05] Saki
    Thanks to you.
[18:07] Miyu
    Huh?
[18:08] Saki

    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.

    I'm happy for them.

    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.

    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

    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.

    What? But you love money.

    In any case, it can't be helped now.

[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

    I don't want that, either.
[04:19] Shiho
    I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

    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.

    Good luck.

    A dropout? Is that how you see me, too?

    Yeah, but...
[15:06] Miyu
    At this rate, the Namahagez will laugh at us.

    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.

    Huh? I'm confused now.
[15:32] Airi
    Myu, calm down.

[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.

    You'd better help in every way you can.

    Yes, ma'am!

    Since there's nothing here,
    we have that much more freedom.

[05:56] [Messenger] TEXT
    Megumi-san, thank you
    for your message!
    Good luck to both of us tonight.
[05:59] Otome
    With a smile!

[06:00] Itsuka
    Shine!
[06:01] Ayumi
    And run!
[06:02] All
    Run Girls, Run!
[06:13] Ayumi
    Okay, we'll start by introducing ourselves.
[06:15] Ayumi
    When I say "on your marks"...
[06:17] Itsuka
    Ready, go!
[06:18] Ayumi
    Huh?
[06:19] Otome
    Acchan?
[06:21] Itsuki
    Huh?
[06:22] Itsuka
    Uh, I...
[06:24] Otome
    Calm down, Acchan.
[06:26] Ayumi
    What should we do?
[06:30] Ayumi
    It's okay. WUG is with us.
[06:34] Ayumi
    Come on, Acchan.
[06:35] Ayumi
    Person, person.
[06:36] Ayumi
    Now swallow it.
[06:39] Fan A
    You've got this!
[06:40] Fan B
    You're cute!
[06:41] Itsuka
    Huh?
[06:42] Ayumi
    What?
[06:43] Otome
    Let's try that one more time.
[06:45] Otome
    Sorry, we made a mistake.
[06:46] Otome
    We're going to start over.
[06:50] Otome
    On your marks!
[06:51] Itsuka
    Ready, go!
[06:53] Ayumi
    We are...
[06:54] All
    ...Run Girls, Run!
[06:56] Otome
    This is our song "Run X Run!"
[08:13] Kaya
    They had me on edge.
[08:15] Yoshino
    It's their first performance.
[08:16] Yoshino
    It can't be helped.
[08:26] Airi
    Looks like they're okay.
[08:28] Mayu
    Yeah.
[08:29] Miyu
    It's our turn to go on.
[08:32] Nanami
    Minyami, let's give everything we've got.
[08:33] Minami
    Okay, Nanamin.
[08:35] Yoshino
    Let's go!
[08:36] Kaya
    We can do this!
[08:37] All
    Wake Up, Girls!
[08:42] Miyu
    You were cute.
[08:42] Yoshino
    Good work.
[08:47] Ayumi
    Thank you for these.
[08:49] Itsuka
    Thank you.
[08:51] Mayu
    Good work.
[08:57] Yoshino
    Hello, every-WUG!
[09:00] Kaya
    We are...
[09:01] All
    Wake Up, Girls!
[09:03] Airi
    How was the first performance
    of our juniors, Run Girls, Run?
[09:07] Minami
    We appreciate your continued support.
[09:12] Nanami
    Now it's time for us to pump up the crowd.
[09:17] Mayu
    For the next two hours...
[09:22] Mayu
    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
    Namahagez are the best!
[15:20] NS Fan
    Shihocchi, welcome back!
[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

    Handle it, Matsuda!
[00:23] Matsuda
    Handle it? But we only have

[00:32] Matsuda
    Our last animal!
[00:34] Matsuda
    President, without any animals,
    this isn't a zoo! It's just a park!
[00:39] Tange
    I guess I don't need you
    to be my zookeeper, then.

[01:20] Tange
    They're all savage beasts.
    There's something lacking in them.
[01:24] Nanami
    Say what? How rude!
[01:26] Kaya
    Now, now.
[01:27] Tange
    Matsuda, you have to find
    an animal to act as our centerpiece.
[01:31] Matsuda
    What kind of animal would that be?
[01:33] Tange
    Come up with something yourself.
[01:37] Matsuda
    An animal to act as the centerpiece, huh?
[01:39] Matsuda
    Huh? That animal over there...
[01:47] Matsuda
    Hey, you. Would you like to work at a zoo?
[01:50] Mayu
    Are you asking me to put myself on display?
[01:53] Matsuda
    Well, yes, but...
[01:55] Mayu
    I'm not interested.
[01:56] Matsuda
    Couldn't you do it, anyway?
[01:59] Mayu
    Please don't! Roar!
[02:03] Airi
    Mayu, wait.
[02:05] Airi
    If you join the zoo, they'll feed
    you just for sleeping all day.

    While training to become ninjas,

    the seven girls got caught up in the

[00:21] Narration
    What does the future have in

[00:26] Minami
    I wonder if a lot of guests will come.
[00:28] Airi
    Glub, glub.
[00:30] Nanami
    They will come.
[00:31] Nanami
    After all, these places are
    a standard location for dates.
[00:33] Miyu
    That's right. They're far
    more romantic than the zoo.

[00:44] Minami
    I'm so glad we have Airi and Kaya-tan.
[00:48] Nanami
    Everyone should have fish and reptile friends.
[00:52] Minami
    Do you think we'll get paid
    more once we get more guests?
[00:56] Miyu
    I'm sure we will.
[00:58] Miyu
    When we do, I'm going to buy a new dress.
[01:01] Minami
    I'm going to buy meat.
[01:03] Minami
    There's Maesawa beef and Sendai beef and...
[01:06] Nanami
    Minyami, you're practically a cow yourself.
[01:09] Miyu
    What about you, Nanamin?
    Is there anything you want?
[01:13] Nanami
    I'll probably get tickets
    to a Hikarizuka performance.
[01:17] Miyu
    You're so serious, Nanamin.
[01:19] Minami
    Then there's Yonezawa beef
    and Yamagata beef and...
[01:23] Nanami
    Minyami, you care more
    about food than seduction.
[01:26] Miyu
    Do you think you're sexy, Nanamin?
[01:31] Nanami
    What do you mean?
[01:32] Miyu
    I'm asking about your love life.

    Your love life.
[01:35] Nanami
    Wh-What are you talking about, Miyu?
[01:37] Nanami
    W-We're idols!

    Come on. I won't tell anyone else.
[01:44] Nanami
    But scandals are strictly prohibited!
[01:47] Miyu
    What kind of men do you like, Nanamin?
[01:50] Miyu
    I like men with clear eyes and aquiline noses...
[01:55] Nanami
    You just want to talk about yourself.
[01:58] Miyu
    That's not true.
[02:00] Miyu
    I'll guess what kind of men you like.
[02:03] Nanami
    What? Th-There's no way you know what...
[02:06] Nanami
    H-Hey. Minyami, say something.
[02:09] Minami
    Just a little farther south,
    there's Fukushima beef.
[02:11] Minami
    At that point, I might as well
    go all the way for Kobe beef...
[02:15] Nanami
    She's hopeless.
[02:16] Miyu
    Nanamin, your type is
    wild and carnivorous men.
[02:21] Nanami
    What? Wh-What are you talking about?
[02:24] Miyu
    In other words, you're into werewolves.

[00:01] Narration
    This is a small zoo on the edge of Sendai.
[00:05] Narration
    The zoo is currently in danger of disappearing.
[00:11] Narration
    Because of leaks and power outages,
    we've been gathered inside one room today.
[00:15] Narration
    At first, it was fun, like a sleepover...
[00:19] Narration
    But for some reason, Minami hasn't
    returned from going to the restroom.
[00:23] Yoshino
    Minami's taking a long time, isn't she?
[00:25] Yoshino
    It's been quite a while.
[00:27] Kaya
    Maybe she got lost on her way back.
[00:29] Yoshino
    Maybe. It seems dark in the hallway.
[00:34] Mayu
    I need to go the restroom, too.
[00:37] Mayu
    Does anyone want to come with me?
[00:38] Mayu
    What about you, Kaya and Yoppi?
[00:39] Kaya
    I'm fine.
[00:41] Yoshino
    I'm fine, too.
[00:43] Mayu
    We'll come back once we find Minami.
[00:45] Kaya
    Okay, thanks.
[00:49] Kaya
    You're one of those, Yoppi.
[00:51] Yoshino
    Huh? What?
[00:52] Kaya
    You're a scaredy-cat.
[00:53] Yoshino
    N-No, I'm not.
[00:55] Kaya
    Don't pretend you're not.
[00:57] Kaya
    You didn't go to the restroom
    because you were scared, weren't you?
[01:00] Yoshino
    I-I'm not that scared of—
[01:03] ---
    Jeez!
[01:05] Yoshino
    What are you doing?
[01:07] Kaya
    Sorry, sorry.
[01:07] Kaya
    Jeez.
[01:09] Yoshino
    Kaya.
[01:09] Yoshino
    Ow, ow.
[01:13] Kaya
    The girls are taking a long time.
[01:15] Yoshino
    Yeah.
[01:16] Kaya
    All right. I'm going to go look for them.
[01:18] Yoshino
    What? Don't leave me alone.
[01:20] Kaya
    Do you want to come with me, then?
[01:22] Yoshino
    O-Okay...
[01:26] Kaya
    Yoppi, I can't walk. You're too close.
[01:29] Yoshino
    B-But...
[01:32] Yoshino
    What is this? It's red.
[01:34] Kaya
    How disgusting.
[01:36] Kaya
    It leads down the stairs.
[01:38] Yoshino
    Let's go back.
[01:40] Kaya
    We can't. Something may
    have happened to them.
[01:42] Kaya
    Let's go.
[01:43] Yoshino
    What?
[01:44] Yoshino
    Hey, are you really going?
[01:49] Kaya
    It leads into this room.
[01:51] Yoshino
    L-Let's turn back.
[01:53] Kaya
    But everyone may be inside.
[01:56] Yoshino
    Maybe, but...
[02:00] Yoshino
    Let's go back.
[02:02] Kaya
    I'm opening the door.
[02:05] Kaya
    Minami?
[02:07] Yoshino
    Minami. Oh, good.
[02:09] Yoshino
    Everyone's missing.
    We've been so worried.
[02:12] Minami
    It's really tasty, meow.
[02:14] Yoshino
    Minami?
[02:17] Minami
    It's really tasty, meow!

[00:31] Yoshino
    What? Are you playing Red Light, Green Light?
[00:35] Mayu
    No. I'm coming up with poses for my figure.
[00:37] Airi
    Figure?
[00:38] Yoshino
    Figure skating?
[00:40] Mayu
    No. The kind of figures that enthusiasts like.
[00:43] Yoshino
    Oh, those.
[00:44] Airi
    You mean those doll things?
[00:46] Mayu
    Yeah. I think our era is all about figures.
[00:50] Airi
    What do you mean?
[00:51] Mayu
    When an anime gets a figure,
    it's proof of its popularity.
[00:55] Mayu
    Having figures means you're popular.
[00:58] Mayu
    If we release figures,
    we'll become popular, too!
[01:01] Airi
    Isn't it the other way around?
[01:03] Airi
    I thought you get figures
    because you're popular...
[01:05] Mayu
    If we sell them as merchandise,
    the zoo should make a lot of money.
[01:09] Yoshino
    That's a good idea.
[01:11] Airi
    But there are all kinds of figures.
[01:14] Mayu
    Yeah.
[01:15] Mayu
    For example, a figure for
    children might look like this.
[01:20] Both
    That's terrifying!
[01:21] Mayu
    You think so? Then I'll make it
    cute by sticking my tongue out.
[01:23] Airi
    That's even scarier.
    You'll make children cry.
[01:26] Yoshino
    You're obviously trying to eat something.
[01:29] Mayu
    Really? No good, huh?
[01:31] Airi
    I think you should do
    something cute for children.
[01:34] Airi
    Like this.
[01:36] Yoshino
    That's so cute. I'll give it a try.

[01:48] Mayu
    Just do it!

    That's what the producer inside me is saying!
[01:51] Airi
    Like this?
[01:53] Yoshino
    What's wrong with you?
[01:55] Mayu
    Yoppi, get on all fours.
[01:57] Mayu
    Airi, lift your body off the ground.
[02:01] Yoshino
    What was that for?
[02:01] Airi
    Ow...
[02:03] Airi
    Yoppi, don't talk.
    Your teeth are stabbing me.
[02:08] Mayu
    That's it!
[02:09] Mayu
    It's sure to be a hit!

    This is a small zoo on the edge of Sendai.
[00:05] Narration
    The zoo is currently in danger of disappearing.
SIGN    I-1 Park
[00:10] Narration
    In this time of crisis, Nanami,
    WUG ZOO's number one entertainer,
[00:13] Narration
    suggests bringing in guests
    with a single, grand attraction
[00:15] Narration
    if the zoo is short on funds.
[00:18] Narration
    Will her plan go well?
[00:22] Nanami
    The first phase of the plan is "grand scenery!"
[00:27] Yoshino
    Amazing! This might actually work!
[00:29] Yoshino
    Wh-What is this?
[00:31] Nanami
    I used all our budget on the scenery.
[00:35] Yoshino
    Nanamin, our guests come to see us.
[00:38] Yoshino
    Shouldn't we focus on
    strengthening our characters
[00:40] Yoshino
    instead of improving our backdrops?
[00:42] Nanami
    You're right. The quality
    of the art is important, too.
[00:44] Yoshino
    Umm... What are you talking about?
[00:47] Nanami
    Don't worry about it.
[00:48] Nanami
    Phase two of the plan is "smooth animation!"
[00:53] Nanami
    How's this?
[00:55] Yoshino
    It's amazing! It's so cool!
[00:58] Nanami
    How's this?
[01:00] Yoshino
    Yeah, I like it.
[01:03] Nanami
    How's this?
[01:05] Yoshino
    I told you. I like it.
[01:08] Yoshino
    Nanamin, you've just been doing
    the same thing over and over.
[01:13] Nanami
    Yeah, I used our whole
    budget on this single cut.
[01:16] Yoshino
    What?
[01:18] Nanami
    But fans gratefully watch
    transformation scenes over and over, right?
[01:22] Yoshino
    Won't our guests get tired of watching only this?
[01:27] Nanami
    Then let's move onto phase three,
    "super CGI strategy!"
[01:32] Nanami
    We're entering the age of CGI!
[01:37] Yoshino
    But even an amateur like myself
    can tell how weird it looks.
[01:41] Yoshino
    You definitely hired the wrong studio.
[01:43] Nanami
    You've got a lot of complaints, don't you?
[01:45] Nanami
    Fine, I got it.
[01:47] Nanami
    How about this?
[01:50] Yoshino
    Amazing!
[01:51] Yoshino
    These visuals will definitely draw in guests.
[01:56] Yoshino
    Huh? Nanamin, what about your face?
[01:58] Nanami
    That's none of your business.
[02:00] Yoshino
    R-Really? In any case, I'm sure
    this quality will be a huge success.
[02:05] Yoshino
    Our anime is sure to get a second season!
[02:08] Nanami
    Of course.
[02:10] Yoshino
    Nanamin, come to think of it,
    you haven't been moving at all, have you?
[02:13] Nanami
    I used the entire budget on the art.
[02:16] Nanami
    All I can do is move my mouth.
[02:18] Yoshino
    What?
[02:18] Nanami
    Who cares? People are only
    interested in pretty pin-ups.
[02:23] Yoshino
    N-Nanamin, don't you think
    you're being too harsh?
[02:25] Nanami
    Now, let's go get guests
    with my beautiful dancing!

    What? You're going out like that?

    In the blue corner is WUG wrestler,

    Don't think you can beat me, brah!
[00:43] Announcer
    Your referee is Shark Hayashi.
[00:47] Matsuda
    As usual, your commentators are
    Matsuda and Tiger Katayama.
[00:52] Mayu
    What's wrong? Your voice is trembling.
[00:54] Yoshino
    M-My voice isn't trembling, brah.
[00:56] Mayu
    What a weak comeback.
[00:59] Mayu
    And you call yourself an idol?
[01:01] Yoshino
    Now you've said it.
[01:03] Yoshino
    I never liked you from the moment we met!
[01:06] Mayu
    What don't you like about me?
[01:08] Yoshino
    We're too similar.
[01:11] Yoshino
    We have nearly the same hair color.
[01:12] Yoshino
    Because of you, our fans never
    remember what I look like!
[01:15] Mayu
    That's just because you lack personality.
[01:17] Mayu
    The rest of our members are so lax
    because we have you for a leader.
[01:21] Mayu
    Especially Airi.
[01:22] Yoshino
    Wait. Airi's always been terrible.
[01:25] Mayu
    That's not true.
[01:26] Mayu
    With the right leadership,
    Airi wouldn't be so...
[01:29] Mayu
    No, she would be terrible.
[01:30] Yoshino
    Right?
[01:31] Matsuda
    This is an unexpected development.
[01:33] Matsuda
    Katayama-san, how do you
    think this match will go?
[01:36] Minami
    It's really tasty, meow.
[01:37] Matsuda
    "Tasty, meow." I see.
[01:39] Yoshino
    It takes seconds for her to forget
    the choreography and lyrics she's learned.
[01:42] Yoshino
    She's practically a human goldfish.
[01:44] Mayu
    Wait. Her memory may be bad, but Airi's
    greatest strength is her incompetence.
[01:48] Mayu
    You have to agree.
[01:49] Yoshino
    You're right.
[01:50] Yoshino
    The way she turns every dance into
    awkward flailing may be some kind of skill.
[01:54] Mayu
    Also, she always holds her left
    hand like she's holding a bowl.
[01:57] Yoshino
    That's incredible, too.
[01:59] Yoshino
    Airi's dancing sense is god-like.
[02:01] Matsuda
    They're on fire.
[02:03] Matsuda
    What do you think of this
    development, Katayama-san?
[02:05] Minami
    It's really tasty, meow.
[02:06] Matsuda
    "Tasty, meow." There it is again.
[02:08] Mayu
    But even Airi has improved
    under your leadership.
[02:12] Yoshino
    What?
[02:13] Mayu
    Not many people could lift Airi
    from water flea level to paramecium level.
