**[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!
***SIGN*** Watch the movie to find out how the group was formed and enjoy the TV series even more!
***SIGN*** For more information, check out the website!
**[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.

**[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!
**[18:36] Miyu**
Let's get started!
**[18:38] Miyu**
"Burn Chaos, According to the Sun."
**[18:41] Miyu**
We! (Ooh!) Are gonna break! (Nya!)
**[18:43] Miyu**
The world is Dark! (Cosmic!)
**[18:44] ---**
Ooh! Nya! Ooh! Nya! Ooh! Nya!
**[18:51] All**
Let's Nya!
**[18:52] ---**
Pagan gods with slimy hearts
**[18:53] Airi**
Miyu's amazing.
**[18:55] Yoshino**
She seems like a professional.
**[18:55] ---**
You and I are both cowardly and curious
**[18:57] Airi**
She's so friendly with her fans.
**[18:58] ---**
If the crawly pagan runs away
**[19:01] SONG**
You and I can enjoy a date
under the burning sun
**[19:05] SONG**
Isn't this fun? We'll burn and we'll melt
**[19:10] SONG**
We're not alive!
**[19:13] Audience**
That was great!
**[19:14] Audience**
You're the best!
**[19:17] Miyu**
That was so fun!
**[19:20] Miyu**
Maid in Sendai is the best!
**[19:24] Audience**
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!
**[19:44] Fans**
We'll support you even more!
**[19:46] Miyu**
What?
**[19:47] Fans**
I saw your Christmas
concert in Kotodai Park!
**[19:51] Miyu**
Really?
**[19:52] Fans**
I just happened to be in the area,
but it was great!
**[19:56] Fans**
Wake Up, Girls! will make it big!
**[19:58] Fans**
Your work inspires us!
**[20:01] ---**
Yeah!
**[20:03] ---**
We're here for you!
**[20:04] ---**
You can do it!
**[20:07] Fans**
Miyu, what's wrong?
**[20:09] ---**
Are you okay?
**[20:10] Miyu**
Um, I...
**[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.
**[20:55] Airi**
That's great.
**[20:56] Yoshino**
Yeah.
**[20:57] Airi**
They really love Miyu.
**[20:59] Airi**
I didn't know fans could be so nice.
**[21:02] Mayu**
They're all so warm.
**[21:04] Yoshino**
Huh?
**[21:07] Mayu**
Nothing.
**[21:09] Tange**
Girls, you have a new job!

You think so?

Why don't you gain weight?
**[23:48] GIRL B**
Maybe it's just how I am.

I have a lot in the morning.
**[23:51] Girl A**
I'm not asking about that!
