[01:41] Matsuda
    Uh, um...
[01:44] Sudo
    Huh?
[01:45] Sudo
    What's wrong with all of you?
[01:51] Sudo
    I told you to try them on.
[01:54] Matsuda
    Excuse me, Sudo-san...
[01:56] Sudo
    What is it, Matsuda-chan?
[01:58] Sudo
    Aren't these great?
[01:59] Sudo
    Nothing beats white swimsuits.
[02:02] Matsuda
    Well...
[02:03] Sudo
    Don't they look nice?
[02:05] Sudo
    It's standard for idols these days.
[02:08] Yoshino
    Standard? Those swimsuits?
[02:10] Sudo
    Of course they are.
[02:12] Sudo
    You need to put yourself
    out there to make it big.
[02:17] Sudo
    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.

SIGN    Maid in Sendai
[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!
[18:24] Miyu
    I'm home, everyone!
[18:27] Audience
    We missed you!
[18:28] Audience
    Welcome home!
[18:29] Miyu
    How has everyone been?
[18:31] Audience
    We're great!
[18:32] Airi
    She's so popular.
[18:33] Audience
    We missed you!
[18:33] Mayu
    Yeah.
[18:34] Audience
    We were lonely!

    Let's get started!

    Miyu's amazing.

    She seems like a professional.

    What about Wake Up, Girls!?
[19:28] Miyu
    I haven't decided yet.
[19:31] Fans
    What?
[19:32] Miyu
    It's harder than I thought.
[19:34] Miyu
    As you all know,
    I'm not very good at anything.
[19:37] Fans
    You can do it!
[19:39] Fans
    I'm excited to see what you
    can do with Wake Up, Girls!
[19:42] Fans
    Leave this place and make it big!

    We'll support you even more!

    What?

[20:11] Miyu
    I'm not good at anything...
[20:14] Fans
    That's not true!
[20:17] Miyu
    I always run from
    anything I don't like.
[20:21] Miyu
    The fans here are always
    so nice and supportive.
[20:28] Miyu
    But today, after seeing
    everyone again, I realized something.
[20:33] Miyu
    It's my turn.
[20:35] Fans
    That's right! You can do it!
[20:37] Fans
    Yeah!
[20:38] Fans
    Miyu!
[20:40] Miyu
    In order to inspire you,
[20:42] Miyu
    I'll work up the courage
    to participate in Wake Up, Girls!
[20:47] Miyu
    I hope you'll continue to support me.
