[02:59] Nanami
    What? You think so?
[03:01] Minami
    Hey, isn't this cute?
[03:04] Yoshino
    Is that a paper doll?
[03:05] Minami
    No.
[03:10] Miyu
    Airi, where's Mayushi?
[03:13] Airi
    I haven't heard.
[03:14] Airi
    I wonder what's going on with her.
[03:15] Airi
    She's not usually late.
[03:19] Tange
    Listen up, girls.
[03:23] Tange
    I found your next job.
[03:25] Tange
    Dance with joy.
[03:28] Tange
    After your TV performance,

    you're going to be
    regulars on a radio show.
[03:31] All
    What?!
[03:33] Tange
    You're going to be regulars
    on a daily program.
[03:34] Tange
    On top of that, it's a title show.
[03:36] Tange
    It's a one-minute segment
    from 11:59 pm to midnight.
[03:39] Kaya
    So short.
[03:40] Minami
    Daily and title?
[03:45] Airi
    Um...
[03:47] Yoshino
    Daily means it's every day.
[03:48] Yoshino
    Title means our name
    appears in the title of the show.
[03:53] Minami
    That's amazing.
[03:55] Tange
    No, no, no.
[03:56] Tange
    This is a small step.
[03:58] Tange
    We're aiming for the Red vs. White Concert.
[04:00] Tange
    A journey of a thousand
    miles starts with one step.
[04:03] Tange
    By the way, how many
    miles away is the

    Red vs. White Concert Hall from here?
[04:06] Matsuda
    I don't know.
[04:07] Tange
    We definitely have good
    things coming our way.
[04:09] Tange
    We'll fearlessly move forward.
[04:12] Girls
    Yes!
[04:14] Tange
    You know what they say.
[04:15] Tange
    The god of chance only has bangs.
[04:19] Tange
    Honestly, what does that mean?

    Good morning.
[04:26] Tange
    Anna, Karina.
[04:28] Karina
    It's been a while, everyone.
[04:30] All
    Good morning.
[04:31] Anna
    You seem excited.
[04:33] Tange
    We are. Let me tell you all about it.
[04:48] Mom
    Why is she doing this again?
[04:50] Mom
    If she wanted to do it,
    she never should have given up!
[04:53] Grandmother
    If you say that, there's no hope.
[04:55] Grandmother
    You should consider
    how Mayu-chan feels.
[04:57] Mom
    Isn't this the result of
    respecting her thoughts?
[05:02] Mayu
    I'm leaving now.
SIGN    New Song
[05:08] Tange
    In any case, I'm having Twinkle

SIGN    New Song
[05:15] Tange
    The condition for the first song
[05:17] Tange
    was that it be one total amateurs could
[05:19] Tange
    look good singing and dancing...
[05:23] Matsuda
    You've gone too far.
[05:24] Tange
    But we need another one like that.
[05:27] Kaya
    What does that mean?
[05:28] Nanami
    Does that mean we haven't grown?
[05:31] Tange
    That's exactly right.
[05:34] Mayu
    Sorry I'm late.
[05:38] Mayu
    I-I'm sorry!
[05:40] Karina
    Don't worry about it.
[05:41] Anna
    We just suddenly dropped in.
[05:48] Yoshino
    Anyway, this is how long a minute is.
[05:51] Kaya
    What are we supposed to do in that time?
[05:52] Minami
    Really? I think it's pretty long.
[05:56] Nanami
    But if we divide 60 seconds
    among seven people,
[05:58] Nanami
    each person gets just over eight seconds.
[06:00] Nanami
    How long is that?
[06:01] Yoshino
    Let's give it a try.
[06:03] Yoshino
    Good evening.
[06:04] Yoshino
    It's time for the Wake Up, Girls!
    "Sorry It's So Short!" program.
[06:07] Yoshino
    I'm Nanase Yoshino.
[06:08] Yoshino
    Is it too conventional to say my hobbies
[06:10] Yoshino
    are reading and watching films?

    That's it, I guess.

    I'm Miyu. Hello.

    What's everyone's

    Oh! It's over.

    Uh, um...

    It's over.
[06:52] Airi
    You're kidding!
[06:53] Airi
    I didn't get to say anything, Mayushi.
[06:56] Airi
    Mayushi?
[06:58] Mayu
    Oh, sorry.
[06:59] Airi
    Is something wrong?
[07:01] Airi
    Are you not feeling well?
[07:02] Mayu
    No, nothing like that.
[07:06] Kaya
    Is there anything we can say that will
[07:08] Kaya
    express our individuality in a word?
[07:11] Mayu
    Oh! What about weird faces?
[07:13] Kaya
    But it's radio.
[07:16] Mayu
    You're right.
[07:23] Tange
    That should do it.
[07:25] Tange
    I made a lot of requests for this song,
[07:27] Tange
    but I basically trust your musical sense.
[07:31] Matsuda
    If anything, you should forget
    what the president said.
[07:35] Karina
    That girl who was late...
[07:37] Tange
    Oh, Shimada Mayu?
[07:38] Anna
    She's a member now.
[07:41] Tange
    Yes, she joined partway through.
[07:44] Mayu
    Please let me be an idol!
[07:47] Matsuda
    She'd been turning us down,
     but ultimately, she came to us.
[07:52] Anna
    She quit once, and now she's starting again.
[07:55] Tange
    There's something cloudy
    about the color of her aura, though.
[07:59] Karina
    When she quit the I-1 Club,
    it was pretty sensational.
[08:05] Tange
    She may have a lot weighing on her.
[08:10] Miyu
    The god of chance, huh?
[08:12] Miyu
    Everyone does experience
    good luck at least once.
[08:16] Miyu
    They say what's important is whether
[08:17] Miyu
    or not you grab that opportunity.
[08:21] Tange
    Work, lambs!
[08:25] Miyu
    First, a TV show, and now a radio program.
[08:27] Miyu
    The pressure's building.
[08:30] Miyu
    Mayushi, what do you think?
[08:32] Miyu
    Did you ever get nervous
    when you were part of the I-1 Club?
[08:35] Miyu
    Well, yes...
[08:42] Miyu
    Um... The reason you quit the I-1 Club...
[08:47] Miyu
    I'm sorry.
[08:49] Mayu
    I was a little tired then.
[08:58] Mayu
    Maybe I shouldn't have come back.

    I was hoping to talk to the members.
[15:30] Matsuda

    Let's get started.

    I'd like to ask each member

[15:41] Suzuki
    Start rolling whenever.

    Nanase-san, you're first.
[15:47] Yoshino
    Okay.
[15:51] Suzuki
    Why did you become an idol?

    I'm Nanase Yoshino.
[15:56] Yoshino
    I'm originally from Sendai,
[15:58] Yoshino
    and I've been a child talent star
    since I was four years old.
[16:01] Yoshino
    At one point, I wanted to be a model,

    Next, Kikuma Kaya-san.
[16:11] Kaya
    Okay.
[16:14] Suzuki
    Same question.
[16:18] Kaya
    I'm Kikuma Kaya.
[16:19] Kaya
    I'd been working a lot of jobs,
[16:22] Kaya
    and I found out about
    this audition at one of them.
[16:25] Kaya
    I wanted some proof of my

[16:53] Mayu

[16:54] Suzuki
    Sorry to be direct,
[16:56] Suzuki
    but the real reason you were
    made to quit the I-1 Club
[16:58] Suzuki
    was different from what
    the media covered, isn't it?
[17:04] Suzuki
    The official story is that
    you lost a center battle,
[17:08] Suzuki
    but according to my research,
[17:10] Suzuki
    you were involved in a lot
    of internal conflicts.
[17:13] Suzuki
    What happened?
[17:16] Suzuki
    Come on! You quit.
[17:19] Suzuki
    Why don't you tell the truth?

    Hey!
[17:30] Suzuki
    Was the reason this picture
    that everyone was talking about?

    There are rumors of power
    struggles within the group
[17:39] Suzuki
    and suspiciously large money
    transfers, aren't there?

    Shimada Mayu's history
     has nothing to do with this.
[18:06] Suzuki
    You must be confused.
[18:09] Suzuki
    Wake Up, Girls! doesn't exist
    without Shimada Mayu, does it?
[18:16] Suzuki
    Isn't it better for you
[18:17] Suzuki
    if people make a fuss over
    Shimada Mayu on the internet?

    That's enough!
SIGN    Green Leaves Entertainment
[18:26] Suzuki
    I'll sue!
[18:28] Tange
    Go ahead and try!
[18:39] Matsuda
    Today was rough.
[18:42] Airi
    Where's Mayu?
[18:43] Matsuda
    The president wanted to talk to her.
[18:45] Airi
    But...
[18:47] Matsuda
    Let's leave it up to the president today.
[18:49] Matsuda
    You've got work tomorrow.
[18:52] All
    Okay...
[19:05] Tange
    I'm not sure I can say
    anything to cheer you up now.
[19:11] Tange
    Without having experienced
    what you've gone through,
[19:14] Tange
    nothing I say is very convincing.
[19:17] Tange
    But let me tell you this.
[19:20] Tange
    Everyone has emotional scars.
[19:23] Tange
    However, you can't leave
    those wounds untreated.
[19:28] Tange
    I'm sure you know how
    to heal those wounds.
[19:33] Tange
    Isn't that why you came here?
[19:47] Minami
    I wonder if Mayushi's okay.
[19:50] Yoshino
    We don't exist without
    Shimada Mayu, huh?
[19:53] Yoshino
    He was pretty harsh, wasn't he?
[19:55] Nanami
    If we don't want people
    to think that way,
[19:58] Nanami
    we have to improve our skills
    to be on par with Mayushi's.
[20:02] Nanami
    Anyway...
[20:03] Yoshino
    The reason Mayu quit I-1?
[20:05] Nanami
    Yeah. I know people were
    making quite a fuss,
[20:10] Nanami
    but something seems pretty
    malicious about it.
[20:13] Nanami
    Have you heard anything, Ai-chan?
[20:16] Airi
    I try not to ask her about it.
[20:20] Airi
    It seems like Mayu
    doesn't want me to ask.
[20:23] Miyu
    I understand.
[20:24] Kaya
    Who cares about the past?
[20:27] Miyu
    It doesn't seem to be over yet.
[20:30] Yoshino
    What do you mean?
[20:36] Airi
    I wonder if Mayushi saw this.
[20:38] Minami
    It's so mean.
[20:39] Nanami
    She probably ended up seeing this.
[20:43] [Texting] TEXT
    Isn't Mayu that piece of trash who
    betrayed her fans with a man?
[20:44] Yoshino
    Is this true?
[20:47] Miyu
    According to the customers
    at the maid café, they're mostly lies,
[20:51] Miyu
    but there are some
    they can't be sure of.
[20:53] Kaya
    Does that mean only
    Mayu knows the truth?
[20:56] Miyu
    Actually, I tried asking
    Mayushi directly before,
[21:01] Miyu
    but she wouldn't tell me.
[21:04] Airi
    She should talk to someone about it,
[21:05] Airi
    instead of handling it on her own.
[21:07] Kaya
    Maybe she can't do that right now.
[21:10] Yoshino
    Are you saying she doesn't trust us?
[21:13] Kaya
    That's not what I meant.
[21:14] Minami
    Maybe it's not easy for her to say.
[21:16] Yoshino
    That just means she's not
    ready to talk about it.
[21:20] Miyu
    Is this what it's like to live
    in the entertainment industry?
SIGN    Get out! Comeback idol

SIGN    Is she trying to get back at I-1 for firing her? Seriously crazy
[21:39] Ota
    Taking back a dream you've lost
[21:41] Ota
    must be harder than
    achieving it the first time.
[21:46] Ota
    That's why I want to support
    Shimada Mayu's desire to try again.
[22:08] Mayu
    Shiho?
[22:10] Shiho
    Mayu?

[23:45] Miyu
    Mayushi's a very mysterious girl.
[23:47] Airi
    Yeah.
[23:48] Miyu
    Ai-chan, you're her friend.
    You must know a lot about her.
[23:51] Airi
    Not at all.
[23:52] Airi
    Oh, but I do know one thing.
[23:54] Miyu
    What?
[23:54] Airi
    The number of moles on her body.
[23:56] Miyu
    What a maniac.
