[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.

[05:23] 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.

[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.

[08:42] 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.

[10:31] Tange     You know... like a diamond in the rough. [10:34] Miyu     Does that mean we've been found? [10:36] Tange     I suppose that's what it means. [10:39] Airi     Amazing...

[13:09] MAI     I can't believe she's working in Sendai. [13:12] MAI     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? [13:24] Megumi     Isn't it obvious? [13:27] Megumi     Because she loves it. [13:28] Shiho     But we're going to go     crush her next month.

[15:22] Matsuda     How long will this take? [15:23] Suzuki     Let's get to it, then. [15:25] Suzuki     I was hoping to talk to the members. [15:30] Matsuda     I see. [15:33] Suzuki     Let's get started. [15:35] Suzuki     I'd like to ask each member     some simple questions in turn [15:38] Suzuki     and have them answer.

[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, [16:04] Yoshino     but I decided to pursue     a career as an idol. [16:07] Suzuki     I see. Thank you. [16:09] Suzuki     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.

[16:41] Mayu     Yes. [16:47] Mayu     I'm Shimada Mayu. [16:48] Suzuki     You're former I-1 Club member,     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 [17:39] Suzuki     and suspiciously large money     transfers, aren't there? [17:43] Suzuki     What's Shiraki-san like? [17:45] Suzuki     Did something happen     between you and Shiraki-san? [17:50] Suzuki     Oh? Am I right? [17:53] Suzuki     Whoa! [17:55] Tange     That's enough! [17:58] Matsuda     Wasn't the purpose of today's     interview to cover Wake Up, Girls!? [18:03] Matsuda     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?

[18:43] 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!
