This is our new song
that goes on sale today.
SIGN I-1 Club performs its new song!!
[01:32] MAI
It's by Hayasaka-san.
[01:35] Manami
It's a very difficult song.
SIGN Win

Idol Festival!!
[01:37] Manami
The choreography is incredibly challenging.
[01:40] Nanoka
But that's what makes it worth doing.
[01:42] Shiho
This is "First-Rate Smile"!
[01:46] Tange
That's that.
[01:48] Yoshino
I-1 released our song on CD?
[01:52] Kaya
I can't believe him.
[01:53] Kaya
That's pretty messed up.
[01:55] Miyu
Could he have been a spy for I-1?
[01:59] Mayu
If I-1 releases that song on CD,
[02:01] Mayu
does that mean we can't sing it anymore?
[02:03] Matsuda
Good point. There'd be copyright issues.
[02:07] Matsuda
President, do we have a contract?
[02:08] Tange
Of course not.
[02:11] Tange
That eccentric really got us this time.
[02:15] Kaya
Let's have him take responsibility for this.
[02:17] Tange
You're right.
[02:19] Kaya
How do you want to do this?
[02:21] Matsuda
Huh? What?
[02:21] Tange
Well, in my day...
[02:24] Matsuda
Seriously, what are we going to do?
[02:26] Yoshino
I'm not sure we have enough
time to learn a new song.
[02:31] Nanami
But if we sing that at the finals,
[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.
[02:47] Both
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.
[04:00] Hayasaka
If you can't do that,
you won't last long in this industry.
[04:05] Yoshino
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.
[04:15] Yoshino
What?
[04:16] Hayasaka
It's you.
[04:18] Yoshino
Me?
[04:19] Miyu
That's great, Yoppi.
[04:21] Nanami
It's your first time being the center.
[04:22] Kaya
We're counting on you.
[04:24] Yoshino
Okay.
[04:25] Hayasaka
Do your best to put something together.
SIGN Win

[04:30] Kaya
That's easier said than done.
[04:32] Nanami
It's so high pitched.
[04:34] Nanami
It's up-tempo, too.
The choreography's probably difficult.
[04:38] Minami
You're right.

[04:40] Airi
I just learned a new song,
and now I have to start all over.
[04:43] Airi
I don't know if I can do this.
[04:45] Yoshino
But we have to do it.
[04:47] Miyu
There's less than a month before the finals.
[04:50] Miyu
Are we going to be okay?
[04:51] Yoshino
We'll make it okay.
[04:53] Matsuda
That's the spirit!
[04:54] Matsuda
A lot has happened until now,
[04:56] Matsuda
but we managed to overcome all obstacles!
[04:59] Matsuda
All that's left to do is
overcome the walls before us!
[05:02] Matsuda
If we can't go over it,
we'll break through!
[05:04] Matsuda
If we can make it through this test,
[05:06] Matsuda
I'm sure we'll find something
new on the other side!
[05:09] Kaya
What's gotten into you?
[05:10] Kaya
I'm going to start calling you Shuzo.

We'll be in Tokyo this time next month.
[05:28] Instructor
Hayasaka-sensei gave us another tough song.
[05:32] Instructor
I wonder if you'll be all right.
[05:33] Yoshino
We'll make it all right.
[05:37] Mayu
It's even harder than I thought.
[05:40] Yoshino
And it uses so much stamina.
[05:43] Yoshino
If we're this beat just from dancing,
[05:46] Yoshino
we'll be in trouble when we add singing.
[05:48] Mayu
We need to be stronger.
[05:50] Yoshino
We need more endurance.
[05:52] Yoshino
If we can't sing while running for
four or five minutes, we won't last.
[05:58] Yoshino
Let's stretch harder, too.
[06:00] Yoshino
You're more prone to injury
if your body's not flexible.
[06:04] Kaya
She's so inflexible...

[06:20] MAI
Honestly, I think this
song is really difficult,
[06:24] MAI
but don't tell me you
can't sing or dance this.
[06:29] MAI
Moeka, focus.
[06:30] Moeka
Who? Me? I'm focusing.
[06:34] Shiho
Mai-Mai's saying something
because that's not what it looks like.
[06:37] Shiho
If you're going to make excuses
or you really can't do it,
[06:39] Shiho
just get out of here.
[06:43] MAI
Let's do it one more time.
[06:45] Moeka
She doesn't need to be so angry.
[06:48] Reina
There must be a lot of
pressure on the center.
[06:51] Reina
She's got a lot riding on her shoulders.
[06:52] Tina
You say that, but you want her position.
[06:54] Reina
Don't say that.
[06:57] Moeka
You can't, because I'm going
to be the next center.
[07:01] Moeka
I won't let anyone else have it!
[07:05] Both
Okay, okay.
[07:06] MAI
Wake Up, Girls! made it through
the preliminaries, right?
[07:09] Megumi
Yeah. I texted Mayushi,
[07:12] Megumi
and she said she'll do her best at the finals.
[07:13] Shiho
If she didn't, we couldn't crush her.
[07:16] Megumi
Crush her? You don't
have to put it like that.
[07:19] Shiho
It won't be much of a contest
if they don't try to crush us, too.
[07:24] Megumi
But we're not competing directly.
[07:28] Shiho
If we're standing on the same stage,
we'll be compared.
[07:33] Shiho
People will judge which of us did better.
[07:36] MAI
You have a point.
[07:38] Nanoka
Besides, have you heard about the new song?
[07:40] Megumi
What?
[07:42] Nanoka
Hayasaka-san originally wrote
that for Wake Up, Girls!.
[07:47] Nanoka
They sang it at the regional preliminaries.
[07:49] Megumi
Which means people who heard it
will be forced to compare us to them.
[07:54] Shiho
That's right.
[07:56] Megumi
Let's try to be friends.
[07:58] Megumi
There's no reason for us to fight.
[08:00] Shiho
You're so naïve, Megu.
[08:02] Megumi
Don't you think you're
worrying about it too much?
[08:04] Nanoka
Who cares about that?
[08:06] Nanoka
Anyway, did Hayasaka-san
take their song away from them?
[08:09] Nanoka
That'd be so sad for them.
[08:12] Shiho
Isn't it the other way around?
[08:13] Nanoka
What?
[08:13] Shiho
They don't need it anymore.
[08:16] Shiho
I'm sure they'll bring something
even more amazing to the finals.
[08:21] Shiho
I don't want to lose.

to the fans on the second and third

In that respect, there's no
such thing as a passing score.
[13:49] Hayasaka
The truth is, no matter how hard you try,
[13:52] Hayasaka
there's no such thing as a perfect score.
[13:55] Hayasaka
Pursuing that perfect score
is what it means to be an idol.
[13:59] Hayasaka
Also...

I'm not the one whose recognition you need.
[14:04] Hayasaka

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!
[20:52] SONG
A schedule written in the clouds
[20:56] SONG
Filling an empty weekend
[20:59] SONG
With anything you can isn't right
[21:06] SONG
Only truly plain and ordinary days
[21:09] SONG
I film videos of my cat
[21:12] Matsuda
They're amazing.
[21:12] SONG
Maybe I'll try redecorating
my room sometime
[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
heart's going to leap out of my chest.
[21:55] Kaya
Show me.
[21:57] Miyu
It's just an expression!

You're kidding. How sad.

One season's surprisingly short.
