[01:39] Shiho
    You're working in Sendai now, aren't you?
[01:41] Mayu
    Yes.
[01:43] Shiho
    I saw some pictures.
[01:45] Shiho
    You stood out in them
    just like you always do.
[01:48] Shiho
    Of course, it's only natural since
    you were surrounded by amateurs.
[01:53] All
    Hello, Sendai.
[01:55] All
    We're the I-1 Club.
[01:57] Shiho
    Today, we have good news for you.
[02:01] MAI
    The I-1 Club's
[02:02] MAI
    National 47 Prefecture Love
    Connection Project begins today.
[02:07] Ai
    For this project, the I-1 Club
    will go to see you.
[02:08] Shiho
    I came here to check
    things out for our project.
[02:12] Mayu
    I see.
[02:14] Nanoka
    Here in Miyagi Prefecture's Sendai,
    we'll be building a theater.
[02:19] Shiho
    We're so excited to see you.
[02:23] MAI
    Look forward to it.
[02:26] All
    This has been a message
    from the I-1 Club!
[02:30] Mayu
    Good luck.
[02:32] Shiho
    Even Shiraki-san
    is prioritizing this project.
[02:36] Shiho
    If we don't work hard,
    we'll be kicked out.
[02:41] Shiho
    Can I ask you something?
[02:43] Mayu
    What?
[02:44] Shiho
    I'm impressed you
    decided to come back.
[02:48] Shiho
    Why did you do it?
[02:56] Shiho
    Well, you can do whatever you want.
[02:59] Shiho
    But don't forget
    the trouble you caused us.
SIGN    Green Leaves Entertainment
[03:17] Tange
    It's ready.
[03:18] Tange
    It's piping hot and ready.
[03:24] Tange
    As expected of Twinkle.
[03:25] Tange
    Their work is fast, good, and cheap.
[03:28] Matsuda
    I think it's only cheap
    because you haggled them down.
[03:32] Tange
    Read these divine lyrics, girls.
[03:35] Kaya
    So hot.
SIGN    16-Year-Old Agape
[03:36] Tange
    I told you it's piping hot.
[03:46] Tange
    Now that we have a second song,
    I thought we could make a splash.
[03:51] Matsuda
    What?
[03:52] Tange
    And so, we'll be performing a concert
    on May 25th at MACANA with our new song.
[03:59] Matsuda
    Huh? I'm getting a sense of déjà vu...
[04:02] Matsuda
    Oh, right.
[04:03] Matsuda
    At the end of last year,
    this person said the same thing
[04:04] Matsuda
    and ran off with all our money.
[04:06] Matsuda
    I've been traumatized by live concerts.
[04:10] Matsuda
    I'm breaking out in hives!
[04:11] Tange
    Shut up already.
[04:13] Tange
    In any case, we're putting on a concert.
[04:15] Yoshino
    I understand how Matsuda-san feels.
[04:18] Nanami
    I know.
[04:19] Nanami
    I hope you're not planning
    to deceive us again.
[04:22] Airi
    Deceive us?
[04:24] Tange
    You're still carrying on about that?
[04:26] Tange
    You're such small people.
[04:28] Matsuda
    It's not a matter of size.
[04:31] Tange
    Well, let's get cracking.
[04:33] Miyu
    NFW!
[04:36] Minami
    What does that mean?
[04:37] Miyu
    No freaking way.
[04:39] Minami
    What?
[04:40] Miyu
    Our concert is scheduled
    for the same day as
[04:43] Miyu
    the I-1 Club's Sendai Theater
    opening concert!
[04:46] Matsuda
    What?!
SIGN    Kumagaiya
[04:47] Matsuda
    This isn't good.
[04:48] Matsuda
    Won't we lose customers to them?
[04:52] Yoshino
    We'll start practicing
    the new song tomorrow.
[04:54] All
    Okay.
[04:56] Yoshino
    Later.
[04:57] Airi
    Okay.
[04:57] Minami
    See you later.
[04:58] Miyu
    Bye bye.
[04:59] Minami
    What kind of snacks
    will we get to eat today?
[05:02] Miyu
    You're such a glutton, Minami.
SIGN    National 47 Prefecture
    Love Connection Project
SIGN    Finally Arriving in Sendai
SIGN    Opens at the I-1 Theater Sendai on 5/25!!
[05:10] Kaya
    Everywhere you look, it's I-1.
SIGN    "We're Coming To See You."
[05:12] Miyu
    Their marketing campaign is crazy.
[05:15] Yoshino
    They're just abusing their wealth.
SIGN    I-1 Club finally arrives in Sendai on 5/25!!
[05:22] Miyu
    But it's amazing that they can do that.
[05:29] Tange
    It's always money, money, money.
SIGN    Senichiya
SIGN    Yakitori
[05:31] Tange
    There are things in this world
    you can't buy with money!
[05:35] Tange
    Spending money on advertising
    will help your sales,
[05:37] Tange
    but it won't last forever.
[05:39] Tange
    After all, it costs money!
[05:42] Matsuda
    Is that right?
[05:44] Tange
    Nothing's most important
    than making an honest living.
[05:48] Tange
    Even the I-1 Club was built
    by the passion of Shiraki,
[05:52] Tange
    who had nothing going for him
    except his love of idols.
[05:58] Tange
    The I-1 Club started as
[06:00] Tange
    a local "no money, no connections,
    no name" group from Oshiage.
[06:06] Tange
    That was before Oshiage built its Skytree.
[06:10] Tange
    Now it's something of a tourist spot.
[06:15] Matsuda
    President, are you
    familiar with that era?
[06:18] Tange
    Of course I am!
[06:19] Tange
    I've been in this business
    for forty-five years!
[06:21] Matsuda
    Huh?
[06:22] Matsuda
    How old are you?
[06:24] Tange
    I've been doing this since a past life!
[06:25] Matsuda
    I see.
[06:27] Tange
    They didn't have any theaters back then.
[06:29] Tange
    They held guerrilla concerts in Azumabashi,
[06:31] Tange
    but there's no audience there.
[06:33] Tange
    I'm saying there aren't
    any young people there.
SIGN    Yakitori
[06:36] Matsuda
    Yeah.
[06:38] Tange
    But idols become popular
    through word of mouth.
[06:42] Tange
    There were rumors of interesting
    girls in Azumabashi.
[06:45] Tange
    Those rumors spread like wildfire,
    giving us the I-1 we have today.
[06:50] Tange
    Their honest work moved people's
    hearts and gave birth to money.
[06:55] Tange
    That's how it works.
[06:57] Matsuda
    You're sounding
    strangely reasonable today.
[07:00] Matsuda
    It's scaring me.
[07:03] Tange
    I'll do it this time.
[07:05] Matsuda
    What?
[07:06] Tange
    Nothing!
[07:07] Tange
    I was talking to myself!
SIGN    Jera
[07:18] Nanami
    The I-1 Club is really amazing.
[07:20] Yoshino
    Yeah.
[07:21] Kaya
    Their choreography
    is so well coordinated.
[07:23] Miyu
    Mayushi used to be part of that.
[07:27] Suzuki
    You must be confused.
[07:30] Suzuki
    Wake Up, Girls! doesn't exist
    without Shimada Mayu, does it?
[07:35] Yoshino
    I won't lose.
[07:36] Nanami
    To who? I-1?
[07:37] Nanami
    Don't you think that
    will take some time?
[07:40] Nanami
    I think we just have
    to do the best we can.
[07:43] Miyu
    You're right.
[07:44] Miyu
    Let's first think of how
    we can gather as large
[07:46] Miyu
    an audience for
    our concert as possible.
[07:48] Kaya
    Yeah.
[07:48] Kaya
    Maybe I'll reach out
    to my friends this time.
[07:52] Miyu
    That's not good enough.
[07:53] Miyu
    You can't approach
    this like you're trying
[07:55] Miyu
    to fill some small theater.
[07:56] Kaya
    What do you mean?
[07:57] Miyu
    We need to increase our number of fans.
[08:01] Kaya
    Yeah, but...
[08:02] Nanami
    Yoppi, let's go.
[08:09] Dance coach
    Okay, let's take a break!
[08:11] All
    Yes, ma'am!
[08:15] Yoshino
    Airi, you're always behind.
[08:17] Airi
    Huh?
[08:17] Airi
    Sorry. Where?
[08:24] Yoshino
    This part.
[08:25] Yoshino
    Give it a try.
[08:29] Yoshino
    There it is.
[08:30] Yoshino
    That's not right.
[08:31] Airi
    What? It's not?
[08:33] Mayu
    Isn't it like this?
[08:41] Airi
    Like this, Yoppi?
[08:43] Airi
    Huh?
[08:45] Airi
    What's wrong with Yoppi?
[08:51] Yoshino
    Since our new song
    is coming together,
[08:54] Yoshino
    I thought we could decide what
    we're singing at the concert today.
[08:57] Yoshino
    First, I think it goes
    without saying that we'll use
[08:59] Yoshino
    "Stand Up!" and "16-Year-Old Agape."
SIGN    "Stand Up!"
SIGN    "16-Year-Old Agape"
[09:02] Yoshino
    I'm sure you all know,
[09:04] Yoshino
    that's not nearly enough.
[09:06] Yoshino
    So I want to choose
    a few more songs today.
[09:10] Miyu
    I know! I know!
[09:11] Miyu
    What about anime songs?
[09:13] Miyu
    I'm sure our fans will enjoy them.
[09:15] Nanami
    Anime songs? Don't you think
    that's too commonplace?
[09:18] Nanami
    Other groups sing them quite a bit.
[09:20] Nanami
    I want to do something unexpected.
[09:22] Nanami
    What about "Hikarizuka"?
[09:25] Miyu
    Would anyone enjoy that?
[09:28] Minami
    I'd prefer folk songs like "Ishinomaki
    Chatsumi-uta" or "Ishinomaki Sendou-uta."
[09:33] Yoshino
    I don't know about that, either.
[09:35] Minami
    I think the members of the
    folk song club would enjoy it.
[09:39] Yoshino
    What should we do?
SIGN    "Stand Up!"
SIGN    "16-Year-Old Agape"
[09:41] Yoshino
    Maybe anime songs.
[09:43] Miyu
    I know! I know!
[09:44] Miyu
    In that case, I have something
    I've danced to at work.
[09:48] Kaya
    This concert isn't just for you.
[09:50] Miyu
    What? But it's really cute.
[09:53] Minami
    Folk songs are cute, too.
[09:55] Nanami
    And *Hikarizuka'*s not
    so much cute as cool.
[09:57] Miyu
    Anime songs!
[09:59] Minami
    Folk songs!
[09:59] Nanami
    "Hikarizuka"!
[10:00] Yoshino
    H-Hey!
[10:05] Matsuda
    Are you sure you don't need to step in?
[10:07] Matsuda
    They're getting out of hand.
[10:09] Tange
    It's fine.
[10:11] Tange
    Now that they can say what they want,
[10:13] Tange
    they're taking another step forward.
[10:15] Tange
    Let them fight.
[10:16] Matsuda
    But we don't have
    many days to prepare.
[10:20] Yoshino
    If we're doing hit songs,
    maybe we should do I-1 Club songs?
[10:29] Yoshino
    Sorry.
[10:30] Mayu
    It's fine.
[10:31] Mayu
    You don't need to apologize.
[10:33] Mayu
    But with the I-1 Theater
    coming to Sendai,
[10:36] Mayu
    I don't think there's any need
    for us to sing their songs.
[10:41] Mayu
    Don't you think we should
    show our own colors?
[10:47] Kaya
    Yeah. Mayu's right.
[10:50] Miyu
    In that case, anime songs!
[10:51] Nanami
    Folk songs!
[10:52] Nanami
    "Hikarizuka"!
[10:53] Yoshino
    I told you...
SIGN    "Stand Up!"
SIGN    "16-Year-Old Agape"
[10:58] Man
    Let's go, I-1! Run!
[11:00] Man
    There are tears of joy,
[11:02] Man
    but there's no such thing
    as smiling while running!
[11:04] Man
    But we always smile!
[11:07] Man
    All the time, we smile!
[11:08] Man
    Smile while eating!
[11:09] Man
    Smile while sleeping!
[11:10] Man
    Smile while dancing!
[11:11] Man
    Smile while singing!
[11:15] Man
    Attention!
[11:20] Man
    Number 456, you're out.
[11:23] Man
    Leave.
[11:37] Both
    15, 16, 17...
[11:44] Both
    18, 19, 20...
[11:54] Kaya
    I think things are coming together.
[11:57] Airi
    Yoppi, how was my choreography?
[11:59] Yoshino
    It's gotten a lot better.
[12:01] Airi
    Really? Great.
[12:05] Minami
    I'm hungry.
[12:06] Minami
    Can I have a snack?
[12:08] Miyu
    I baked some cookies.
[12:13] Mayu
    Did you make these yourself?
[12:14] Miyu
    Yes.
[12:15] Minami
    Thanks for the food!
[12:18] Nanami
    But I'll get fat if I have too many.
[12:23] Nanami
    I'm jealous of Minami
    in more than one way.
[12:29] Nanami
    Do you think they'll
    take all our customers?
[12:32] Miyu
    I don't think we can beat them.
[12:34] Kaya
    What good will saying that now do?
[12:37] Airi
    By the way, have you seen the members
    they're bringing to the Sendai theater?
[12:40] Minami
    Yeah, I did!
[12:41] Minami
    All the most popular members
    of I-1 are coming, right?
[12:45] Miyu
    Yeah.
[12:47] Miyu
    Shihocchi, Yoshimegu,
    Maimai, and Nanokasu.
[12:51] Miyu
    They're all top-class girls.
[12:54] Kaya
    They're really giving it
    everything they have.
[12:55] Mayu
    Beating them seems
    all the more hopeless.
[12:57] Yoshino
    Don't get too worked up.
[13:01] Mayu
    Let's get back to our lessons.
[13:02] Mayu
    There's no time to spare.
[13:05] Airi
    You're right.
[13:06] Airi
    Let's do it.
[13:07] All
    Yeah.
[13:08] All
    All right, let's do it.
[13:09] All
    Let's go.

    Okay.
SIGN    Green Leaves Entertainment
[13:48] Matsuda
    You want me to check on them?
[13:50] Matsuda
    If you're curious,
    you should go yourself.
[13:53] Tange
    It's too much work.
[13:55] Yoshino

    5, 6, 7, 8.

[14:12] Yoshino
    What did you think?
[14:13] Nanami
    If you could tell us what we
    did wrong, we'd appreciate it.
[14:17] Anna
    It was kind of a mess.
[14:19] All
    What?
[14:20] Anna
    First, you.
[14:21] Airi
    Yes.
[14:22] Anna
    You almost ran into
    someone and apologized.
[14:26] Airi
    Yes.
[14:27] Anna
    You need to make sure
    your audience doesn't notice that.
[14:30] Anna
    In fact, you probably
[14:32] Anna
    almost ran into each other
    because you held your position.
[14:35] Nanami
    Yes.
[14:36] Anna
    When that happens, gauge your distance.
[14:39] Anna
    It's okay if you step out of line a little,
[14:40] Anna
    but make sure you get out of her way.
[14:42] Nanami
    Okay.
[14:43] Anna
    The final step of leveling up is compassion.
[14:47] Nanami
    Okay.
[14:49] Karina
    How do you imagine
    yourselves dancing right now?
[14:52] Yoshino
    First, we must
    synchronize our choreography...
[14:54] Yoshino
    Oh, and rhythm.
[14:55] Karina
    Yeah. I got that feeling,
    but that's not what I meant.
[15:00] Yoshino
    Huh?
[15:01] Karina
    I was asking what it means
    to be Wake Up, Girls!
[15:08] Karina
    Are you guys fighting enough?
[15:11] Karina
    You should tell each other
    what you want to say.
[15:13] Karina
    You're part of the same group.
[15:15] Anna
    Of course, sometimes
    you say too much to me.
[15:26] Karina
    You should tell each other
    what you want to say.
[15:28] Karina
    You're part of the same group.
[15:40] Yoshino
    It's not easy for me to say.
[15:42] Yoshino
    I need her to talk to me first.
[15:54] Kaya
    How did it look?
[15:55] Miyu
    There's no one there.
[15:56] Nanami
    My nightmare became reality.
[15:58] Miyu
    And this is the wallpaper
    of the Sendai theater
[16:02] Miyu
    my shikigami returned to me.
[16:07] Minami
    What is this?
[16:09] Airi
    Is it packed?
[16:10] Miyu
    That's right.
[16:12] Miyu
    It's so unbelievably crowded,
    you can't even see the stage.
[16:17] Yoshino
    I knew it would be like this,
[16:18] Yoshino
    but seeing the difference
    is depressing.
[16:21] Minami
    We practiced hard.
[16:23] Minami
    Let's have fun at our own concert.
[16:25] Airi
    Yeah, you're right.
[16:27] Airi
    That's all we can do.
[16:41] Fans
    We've been waiting for you!
[16:43] Fans

    Um... We're Wake Up, Girls!
[17:41] Yoshino
    We're based in Sendai.
[17:44] Yoshino
    The song you just heard was written
    by our seniors in the industry...
[17:51] Mayu
    It was written by Twinkle.
[17:56] Megumi
    Shihocchi and I turned pale,
[18:00] Megumi
    but for some reason,
    Maimai ate the ramen in silence.
[18:04] MAI
    Don't tell them that!
[18:06] Megumi
    I guess I saw a demonstration
    of Maimai's nerves of steel.
[18:09] MAI
    If you keep talking, I'll strangle you!
[18:13] Shiho
    Lastly, please listen to our new song.

    We practiced so much, too.
[18:47] Minami
    We failed completely.
[18:50] Nanami
    We kept making mistakes.
[18:52] Airi
    I'm sorry.
[18:54] Yoshino
    You don't need to keep blaming yourself.
[18:57] Yoshino
    I made plenty of mistakes in my emceeing, too.
[19:01] Nanami
    I'm sure the I-1 concert was a blast.
[19:17] Yoshino
    Thank you.
[19:19] Mayu
    Sure.
[19:20] Tange
    Thanks for your hard work!
[19:22] All
    Thank you...
[19:24] Tange
    What's wrong? You seem down.
[19:27] Kaya
    You know how it went.
[19:29] Tange
    What? Did you think
    you could take on I-1?
[19:33] Tange
    You're not ready for that.
[19:36] Tange
    Oh, come on. What?
[19:38] Tange
    After only one concert?
    You're pathetic.
[19:40] Tange
    You'd ruin a celebration
    with those despondent faces.
[19:45] Tange
    Let's disperse for today.
[19:54] Matsuda
    The president told me to come,
    and she's not here.
[19:58] Minami
    Is she the one who told us to come?
[20:00] Matsuda
    That's right.
[20:01] Matsuda
    She suddenly said, "Let's go
    to the I-1 Sendai Theater!"
[20:05] Kaya
    Just how mean is she?
[20:07] Matsuda
    No, it's not like that.
[20:09] Matsuda
    Tange-san's a little strange and
    irresponsible, but she's not mean.
[20:13] Matsuda
    I think she wants you to take
    it one honest step at a time.
[20:18] Matsuda
    That's what this was about.
[20:21] Tange
    What are you waiting for?
[20:23] Tange
    Let's go.
[20:25] Matsuda
    We were waiting for you!
[20:47] Yoshino
    It's no wonder we lost.
[20:49] Nanami
    I feel stupid for being depressed.
[20:53] Girls
    Thank you.
[20:54] Girls
    Thank you.
[20:55] Kaya
    They're beyond our reach.
[20:57] Miyu
    But we'll beat them someday.
[21:00] Minami
    We'll start over tomorrow.
[21:02] Airi
    Huh? Where's the president?
[21:05] Mayu
    She told us to go on ahead.
[21:08] Megumi
    Come back soon!
    We'll be waiting for you!
[21:10] ---
    Do your best!
[21:11] Megumi
    Mayu...
[21:13] Airi
    Mayu?
[21:19] Megumi
    You came.
[21:21] Mayu
    Yeah.
[21:24] Megumi
    I'll text you later.
[21:26] Mayu
    Okay.
[21:31] Shiho
    Thank you.
[21:35] Mayu
    This may not answer
    your question, but...
[21:39] Shiho
    What?
[21:40] Shiho
    I'm impressed you
    decided to come back.
[21:44] Shiho
    Why did you do it?
[21:47] Mayu
    I think I can finally like idols.
[22:03] Tange
    What are you trying to say?
[22:04] Man
    Exactly what it sounds like.
[22:06] Man
    You should let me handle it.
