[01:30] MAI     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     the     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     the     Idol Festival!! [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. SIGN    Win     the     Idol Festival!! [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. [05:12] Tange     You're smothering us, Matsuda. SIGN    Win     the     Idol Festival!! [05:14] Matsuda     But it's the finals! [05:17] Matsuda     I feel like I can almost see the top... SIGN    Idol Festival     @ I-1 Arena [05:23] Yoshino     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... [06:05] Mayu     Let's return to basics. SIGN    Idol Festival @ I-1 Arena [06:10] Yoshino     Three more weeks. [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. [08:24] Shiraki     Fortune and misfortune     exist in this world, [08:28] Shiraki     but they don't apply when     accomplishing something [08:30] Shiraki     with your own strength. [08:32] Shiraki     Misfortune is simply an excuse. SIGN    Online Poll Rankings [08:36] Shiraki     How high will their     strength take them? [08:42] Ota     I got tickets!

[10:03] Tange     This idol group I formed     on a whim seems [10:12] Tange     to have taken on a life of its own. [10:16] Matsuda     Well, I suppose so. [10:19] Matsuda     This may be a long shot, but... [10:23] Tange     No, don't. [10:25] Tange     Pride and peace. [10:26] Tange     These are the words     that ruin creators.

[12:45] Hayasaka     Three points for your dancing. [12:46] Hayasaka     Three points for teamwork. [12:47] Hayasaka     Four points for stamina. [12:48] Hayasaka     That's 12 points total. [12:52] Hayasaka     You barely pass. [12:55] Hayasaka     Oh, each category is out of five points. [12:58] Hayasaka     By the way, this is the first     time I've awarded four points. [13:03] Hayasaka     Clap, clap. [13:03] Nanami     We scored four points for stamina? [13:05] Hayasaka     In just a few months,     my lumpy potatoes have become [13:09] Hayasaka     piping hot potatoes parmentier     or a chilled vichyssoise.

[13:24] Hayasaka     The score I gave you     isn't your true score, of course. [13:30] Hayasaka     Now it's up to you to entertain     as many fans as possible [13:35] Hayasaka     at the I-1 Arena at the finals, [13:37] Hayasaka     from the ones in the very front     to the ones in the very back [13:39] Hayasaka     to the fans on the second and third [13:42] Hayasaka     floor seats who think you look this big. [13:45] Hayasaka     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... [14:01] Hayasaka     I'm not the one whose recognition you need. [14:04] Hayasaka     It's the audience. [14:07] Airi     I-I'll make you acknowledge me someday. [14:14] Hayasaka     My acknowledgment won't do you any good. [14:18] Airi     Yes, sir! [14:19] Matsuda     Huh? I think Hayasaka-san's     words moved me. [14:23] Matsuda     What is this strange feeling? [14:25] Tange     He's no ordinary man. [14:27] All     Thank you very much! [14:29] Hayasaka     Anyway, I'm going to get some beef tongue. [14:33] Hayasaka     Who's coming with me? [14:34] Matsuda     I'll go! I'll go! [14:36] Matsuda     Are you paying, Hayasaka-san? [14:37] Hayasaka     What? Why would I pay for you? [14:40] Tange     Because you're the wealthiest one here. [14:43] Hayasaka     No, no. Don't be such hyenas. [14:47] Tange     What? They say money     makes the world go round. [14:50] Tange     If you don't make it turn,     we'll never get ours. [14:55] Mayu     It's finally tomorrow. [14:57] Yoshino     Let's do our best.
