This is extreme perfection.

What?
SIGN Vdol Makes Its American Debut!
[02:40] Yoshino
The Vdol is making its American debut?
[02:42] Nanami
With Hayasaka-san's song?
[02:47] Minami
So that's why he went to America.
[02:49] Airi
Hayasaka-san really is amazing.
[02:52] Kaya
This is such big news,
I don't know what's going on.
[02:55] Miyu
They live in a world so far away from ours.
[03:00] Mayu
An e-mail.
[03:03] Kaya
Whoa! Speak of the devil.
[03:05] Mayu
It's from Hayasaka-san.
[03:06] All
What?
[03:08] Airi
It's about the lyrics, isn't it?
[03:09] Nanami
What else could it be?
[03:12] Miyu
I'm really nervous.
[03:14] Nanami
I'm scared.
[03:16] Yoshino
My heart hurts.
[03:18] Yoshino
Kayatan, please.
[03:21] Kaya
Okay. Ready?
[03:23] Kaya
I'm opening it.
SIGN From: Hayasaka Tasuku Subject: No subject To: Nanase Yoshino
SIGN No. You can keep being potatoes, but at least try to sprout some new potato-like buds. Try again.
[03:30] Kaya
That's short. Is this all?
[03:31] Nanami
Don't you think he calls
us potatoes too much?
[03:33] Mayu
New buds?
[03:35] Airi
What does that mean?
[03:37] Miyu
More hints, please!
[03:43] Tange
What? Try again?
[03:45] Yoshino
Yes...
[03:46] Tange
What day is it today?
[03:49] Kaya
Uh, November 2nd?
[03:51] Tange
That's right.
[03:53] Tange
Now look at this!
[03:54] Tange
The album goes on sale November 10th.
[03:57] Tange
The first day of the tour is the 12th.
[04:00] Tange
Do you know what that means?
[04:01] Yoshino
It's just over a week away?
[04:03] Tange
You don't have a whole week.
[04:05] Tange
We need to finish the song as soon
as possible, so it's ready for the tour.
[04:10] Tange
Your deadline is the 7th.
[04:12] Tange
Got it?
[04:13] All
Okay...
[04:15] Matsuda
By the way, you'll be even busier starting
tomorrow with work relating to the album.
[04:19] Airi
Relating to the album?
[04:21] Matsuda
Yeah. First, there's learning the new chorus,
[04:24] Matsuda
then the jacket photo shoot,
discussing the liner notes,
[04:28] Matsuda
and your second S Stage appearance.
[04:30] Miyu
What? We're going on S Stage again?
[04:33] Matsuda
Yeah. The president's still working
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
What? You're making me handle it?
[11:34] Mayu
We're really sorry for springing this on you.
[11:37] Employee
It's fine.
[11:38] Employee
We didn't have any events today,
so we don't mind.
[11:41] Mayu
Thank you.

They're not bad for idols.

You girls are here? Welcome back.

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

Thanks.

You didn't disband.

Yeah. Our agency shut down.

We didn't have a choice.
[17:49] Miyu
What? Your agency?
[17:50] Saki
Yeah. We're freelance now.

We work part time and book concerts

Thanks to you.

[19:30] Miyu
I'm going to conquer the nation.
[19:31] Nanami
That's not what that means.
[19:33] Yoshino
Myu, you're surprisingly proactive.
[19:36] Yoshino
I respect that.
[19:39] Miyu
Keep the compliments coming.
[19:41] Kaya
Don't get ahead of yourself.
[19:43] Mayu
This is kind of nice.
[19:45] Airi
Huh?
[19:46] Mayu
The Namahagez invited us to be a guest
artist at their concert before, remember?
[19:50] Airi
Yeah.
[19:51] Mayu
And this time, Myu invited them
to be a guest on her show.
[19:55] Mayu
It's nice that we can make each other happy.
[19:59] Airi
You're right. We help each other out.
[20:03] Airi
Huh? That sounds familiar.
[20:06] Yoshino
Yeah. Individually we're weak and lacking,
[20:09] Yoshino
but we become stronger through
influencing each other.
[20:14] Yoshino
You're right.
[20:16] Yoshino
We're not the only ones helping each other.
[20:19] Nanami
Is this the newness Hayasaka-san
was talking about?
[20:24] Minami
Don't you think this will look like
a constellation once I have more stars?
[20:31] Yoshino
That's it.
[20:33] Minami
Huh?
[20:34] Yoshino
What do you think about
making the theme stars?
[20:37] All
Great idea.
[20:38] All
They're so sparkly and cute.
[20:54] Yoshino
It's done.

Hello?

Passing marks.
[21:19] Hayasaka
You can have the song.
[21:22] Yoshino
Thank you.
[21:24] Yoshino
We passed!
[21:25] All
All right!
[21:27] Airi
We get to sing that song.
[21:29] Nanami
Let's make it perfect.
[21:54] Matsuda
Ma'am, it's an emergency!
[21:56] Tange
What's with all the noise?
[21:58] Matsuda
Look at this!

I'm your incompetent idol.

Let me be an idol.
[23:51] Left
It's tasty, meow.
[23:52] Right
Let's try a little harder.
[23:53] Middle
We're just practicing
our impressions, aren't we?
