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

    At the 2015 Idol Festival,
[04:10] Mayu
    we beat the national idol group
    I-1 Club to take first place.
[04:16] Mayu
    In one fell swoop, we became top idols.
[04:19] Mayu
    ...Is what I'd like to say, but the
    reality was things weren't so easy.
[04:23] Mayu
    At last year's Idol Festival, I-1 Club
    lived up to their reputation and won.
[04:29] Mayu
    And we...
[04:33] Minami
    This is heavy.
[04:34] Minami
    I'm hungry.
[04:36] Ayano
    Carrying a whole costume by yourself is hard.
[04:41] Airi
    I think I smell.
[04:43] Airi
    What do you think?
[04:45] Mayu
    It's okay. We all do.

    It's hard being a costume idol.

    That's great.
[05:03] Producer
    Sorry it's only local.
[05:05] Matsuda
    Huh?
[05:07] Matsuda
    Mr. Producer, good evening.
[05:09] Producer
    In this day and age, not even
    idols can get the numbers.
[05:13] Producer
    The budget's tight.
[05:15] Matsuda
    Of course.
[05:16] Matsuda
    We're just grateful you're
    even producing our show.
[05:20] Producer
    Between you and me,

    Yeah, she's working in Hakata.
[05:51] Tange
    Next Storm, huh?
[05:53] Tange
    They're another local idol group,
    but they're better known than we are.
[05:58] Tange
    They're still I-1.
[06:01] Matsuda
    But we beat I-1 once.
[06:04] Tange
    Naive!
[06:05] Tange
    The world has only just realized
    that Wake Up, Girls! exists.
[06:11] Matsuda
    But, ma'am, look at this.
[06:15] Tange
    What is this?
[06:16] Matsuda
    A fan video.
[06:18] Matsuda
    These are a barometer of popularity.

    Are these girls from Sendai?

    Yes.

    If you know the answer, then get off

    These girls are barely known
    in living rooms across the country!
[06:48] Ayano
    You always speak your mind, President.
[06:51] Nanami
    But it's true.
[06:53] Mayu
    She's right. I'm sure most people
    don't know our individual full names.
[06:59] Tange
    Well, it wasn't easy for Date Masamune

    to go from ruling Oshu

    We're just getting started.

    Hey, Hayamaru. Did you
    see yesterday's WUG Show?

    Well, I-1 is...

    It's over.

    Calm down, Acchan.

    Yeah. We still have WUG.
[07:41] Itsuka
    But I wanted to dance for I-1.
[07:46] Otome
    Oh, right. That dancing video we uploaded
    the other day got a bunch more views.
[07:52] Ayumi
    Stop talking about that. It's embarrassing.
[07:55] Otome
    Why? Hayamaru, you're a good dancer.

    It wasn't just your fault.

    But I can't blame them for saying that.

    As professionals, we shouldn't
    be late for live performances.

    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.

    Ai-chan, don't worry about it.

[21:10] Yazawa
    WUG's marketing isn't very strong
    since they're an indie group.
