Former I-1's Mayushi is back!!
Sendai TV's concert was awesome!
I'm glad I followed her...
[01:38] Ota

[01:40] [Texting] TEXT
You sure she's not just struggling in vain?
She's the loser who lost the center battle lol
Isn't Mayu that piece of trash who betrayed her fans with a man?

[01:43] [Texting] TEXT
She's a problem girl
so terrible Shiraki
chased her
out lololol
[01:45] [Texting] TEXT
It's just the opposite.
She was touched by lolicon Shiraki and thrown away. So sad lol
[01:48] [Texting] TEXT
I'm impressed she made such a brazen return
[01:49] [Texting] TEXT
Unbelievable.
Don't underestimate the countryside!
[01:51] Ota
Why is everyone taking it so badly?
[01:57] Ota
In the end, isn't this a good thing?

In the end, isn't this a good thing...
[02:07] [Texting] TEXT
Are you stupid?
[02:09] [Texting] TEXT
What's good? Explain
[02:10] [Texting] TEXT
The real tragedy
is that the other members
are being forced along with this trash
[02:12] [Texting] TEXT
They're old news.
Poor WUG lololol

No.

I haven't heard.
[03:14] Airi
I wonder what's going on with her.
[03:15] Airi
She's not usually late.

Listen up, girls.

I found your next job.

After your TV performance,

you're going to be

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.

This is a small step.

We're aiming for the Red vs. White Concert.

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.

[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?
[06:13] Yoshino
That's it, I guess.

I'm Miyu. Hello.

What's everyone's
favorite type of omu-rice?

Oh, sorry.

Is something wrong?
[07:01] Airi
Are you not feeling well?
[07:02] Mayu
No, nothing like that.

Is there anything we can say that will

express our individuality in a word?

Oh! What about weird faces?

But it's radio.

You're right.

That should do it.

I made a lot of requests for this song,

If anything, you should forget
what the president said.

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.

Maybe I shouldn't have come back.

are doing their very best, as well.

I can't believe she's working in Sendai.

I'm kind of surprised.
[13:13] MAI
It seemed like she
would never work again.
[13:16] Shiho
Why is she coming back now?
[13:18] Shiho
She gave up on being an idol.
[13:20] Shiho
Why would she bother working
in the countryside, anyway?

Isn't it obvious?

Because she loves it.

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

[15:33] Suzuki
Let's get started.

I'd like to ask each member

Nanase-san, you're first.
[15:47] Yoshino
Okay.
[15:51] Suzuki
Why did you become an idol?
[15:55] Yoshino
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.

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

I wanted some proof of my
accomplishments, so I decided to try out.

Mayushi, aren't you?
[16:53] Mayu
Yes.
[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?
[17:23] Matsuda
Hey!
[17:30] Suzuki
Was the reason this picture
that everyone was talking about?
[17:36] Suzuki
There are rumors of power
struggles within the group

transfers, aren't there?

has nothing to do with this.

nothing I say is very convincing.

Everyone has emotional scars.

However, you can't leave

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,

but something seems pretty
malicious about it.

[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 What is she trying to do now?
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.
[23:57] Both
