[01:30] Hayasaka
    In my opinion, Wake Up, Girls!
    doesn't need Hayashida Airi.
[01:37] Hayasaka
    As you all know,
[01:39] Hayasaka
    I am currently responsible
    for managing Wake Up, Girls!.
[01:43] Hayasaka
    Let me cut to the chase.
[01:44] Hayasaka
    I'm thinking of cutting
    Hayashida Airi from the group.
[01:47] Kaya
    Hold on! You can't just...
[01:49] Hayasaka
    I just told you.
[01:50] Hayasaka
    You're currently under my control.
[01:54] Hayasaka
    If you're willing to cut
    Hayashida Airi now,
[01:57] Hayasaka
    I will continue your lessons.
[01:59] Hayasaka
    If you can't, you're all fired.
[02:05] Hayasaka
    Give me your decision in ten minutes.
[02:16] Matsuda
    Why did you say that?!
[02:22] Hayasaka
    I simply cast a stone.
[02:25] Matsuda
    What? I'm not interested
    in discussing Zen riddles with you!
[02:29] Hayasaka
    Neither am I.
[02:32] Matsuda
    Considering you work with I-1,
[02:35] Matsuda
    it's no wonder you think
    Wake Up, Girls! is terrible.
[02:38] Matsuda
    They're hardly professionals,
[02:40] Matsuda
    but they're working through
    it at their own pace.
[02:46] Matsuda
    If you shake them now when their
    teamwork isn't solid yet, they...
[02:52] Tange
    If that's all it takes to crush them,
    they're not good enough.
[02:55] Matsuda
    President!
[02:57] Hayasaka
    Lions push their cubs
    off cliffs and raise
[03:01] Hayasaka
    only those who climb back up.
[03:05] Hayasaka
    Those who can't climb back up
    the cliff can't survive in the jungle.
[03:09] Hayasaka
    But don't expect me to say
    something so hot-blooded.
[03:18] Hayasaka
    Potatoes can't come climbing back
    up if you roll them down a hill.
[03:24] Matsuda
    President!
[03:26] Matsuda
    Say something!
[03:33] Miyu
    What should we do?
[03:34] Nanami
    There's nothing we can do.
[03:37] Miyu
    Huh? Are you saying
    we should cut Ai-chan?
[03:41] Nanami
    That's not what I said.
[03:44] Kaya
    What should we do, leader?
[03:45] Yoshino
    What?
[03:51] Nanami
    We only have seven minutes left.
[03:55] Miyu
    Should we take a vote?
[03:56] Kaya
    Without even talking about it?
[03:59] Nanami
    But time keeps passing
    while we talk about it.
[04:03] Miyu
    Yoppi!
[04:05] Yoshino
    Stop forcing me
    to make every decision!
[04:07] Miyu
    Huh? But you're our leader...
[04:11] Yoshino
    Yeah, but why do I
    have to make the decision?
[04:15] Miyu
    We're not asking you to do that.
[04:18] Kaya
    We won't get anywhere like this.
[04:21] Nanami
    We're running out of time!
[04:24] Kaya
    You shut up.
[04:25] Nanami
    But...
[04:27] Yoshino
    What should I do, then?!
[04:28] Yoshino
    Should I decide if we're voting or not?!
[04:31] Kaya
    It's not like that.
[04:39] Hayasaka
    Honestly speaking, I don't
    think you have any talent.
[05:04] Hayasaka
    Why are you having fun?
[05:15] Mayu
    It's almost time.
[05:19] Mayu
    I want Airi to stay.
[05:23] Yoshino
    Does that mean you're okay
    with everyone being fired?
[05:28] Miyu
    What?!
[05:29] Kaya
    Are you saying you'd cut her?
[05:35] Yoshino
    This must be the difference
    between us and I-1.
[05:40] Nanami
    What do you mean?
[05:42] Yoshino
    We're not sure if we're just
    playing with our friends or not.
[05:46] Nanami
    I don't get it.
[05:48] Yoshino
    Because we get upset so easily,
[05:50] Yoshino
    we'll be treated like amateurs forever!
[05:53] Miyu
    Treated like amateurs?
[05:55] Yoshino
    Isn't it true, though?
[05:57] Yoshino
    That's why people
    say Wake Up, Girls!
[05:59] Yoshino
    doesn't exist without Shimada Mayu!
[06:01] Kaya
    You're bringing that up now?
[06:03] Yoshino
    After all, we're not
    here to make friends.
[06:08] Yoshino
    We're here to become idols.
[06:11] Miyu
    Yoppi's right.
[06:16] Nanami
    I'm sick of fighting like this!
[06:20] Nanami
    I quit.
[06:21] Nanami
    I wanted to go to Hikarizuka
    in the first place.
[06:24] Nanami
    I was just doing this
    to improve my skills until then.
[06:27] Miyu
    What? This was just
    a stepping stone for you?
[06:29] Kaya
    Your dream or delusion
    has nothing to do with this.
[06:34] Nanami
    What are you calling a delusion?
[06:35] Nanami
    Don't call it that!
[06:37] Miyu
    We're getting off track.
[06:39] Minami
    Stop!
[06:41] All
    What?
[06:43] Minami
    I'm so hungry!
[06:47] Nanami
    Minami.
[06:54] Kaya
    Here.
[07:00] Mayu
    Yoppi.
[07:02] Mayu
    I'm not sure how to put this,
    but is that what we're doing?
[07:07] Yoshino
    What?
[07:09] Mayu
    You're right that we're
    here to become idols,
[07:12] Mayu
    but is that what being
    an idol is about?
[07:17] Mayu
    I don't think it's
    Wake Up, Girls! without Airi.
[07:23] Minami
    Yeah.
[07:24] Minami
    Even the president said the
[07:26] Minami
    seven of us together
    make Wake Up, Girls!.
[07:29] Miyu
    You're right.
[07:30] Miyu
    When I ran away,
    Airi came to get me.
[07:35] Mayu
    I'll bring her back.
[07:37] Mayu
    I'll bring Airi back.
[07:41] Minami
    I'll go with you.
[07:42] Kaya
    So will I.
[07:43] Miyu
    I'll go, too.
[07:45] Nanami
    Me, too.
[07:46] Yoshino
    No, I'll go.
[07:48] Yoshino
    After all, I'm the leader.
[07:50] Yoshino
    Mayushi.
[07:57] Kaya
    This is our decision, right?
[07:59] All
    What?
[08:00] Kaya
    We're not abandoning Airi.
[08:03] Miyu
    Yes.
[08:05] Kaya
    Don't you think we're
    being messed with?
[08:07] Kaya
    I feel like we're being
    thrown out of order.
[08:11] Kaya
    Besides, he has no right to fire us.
[08:14] Miyu
    But even the president said
    he had total control over us.
[08:19] Kaya
    Then let's try talking
    to the president.
[08:22] Miyu
    Yeah.
SIGN    Next Stop: Kita-Yobancho
[08:27] Yoshino
    I can't believe Ai-chan skipped
    practice without saying anything.
[08:30] Mayu
    Yeah.
[08:31] Yoshino
    Hayasaka-san must have
    been pretty hard on her.
[08:34] Mayu
    Probably.
[08:36] Yoshino
    You waited for her
    that day, didn't you?
[08:39] Yoshino
    Have you heard anything?
[08:42] Mayu
    She didn't tell me anything.
[08:44] Yoshino
    She didn't tell you, huh?
[08:48] Yoshino
    I understand how that feels.
[08:51] Mayu
    Huh?
[08:52] Announcer
    The next stop is Kita-Yobancho.
[08:58] Tange
    I heard.
[09:00] Miyu
    Then you understand
    what's wrong with
[09:02] Miyu
    what Hayasaka-san is saying, right?
[09:05] Tange
    What's so wrong about it?
[09:06] Miyu
    We belong to Green Leaves, don't we?
[09:11] Miyu
    You're the only one who
    can decide if we're fired.
[09:16] Tange
    Didn't I tell you?
[09:18] Tange
    I'm leaving it up to
    Hayasaka-san this time.
[09:22] Nanami
    I knew this would happen.
[09:23] Kaya
    But we want to keep working
    as a group of seven with Airi.
[09:30] Matsuda
    You can't smoke in here.
[09:33] Tange
    Aren't you talking
    to the wrong person?
[09:35] Kaya
    What?
[09:36] Tange
    Go confront Hayasaka-san.
[09:39] Nanami
    So that's your answer.
[09:40] Miyu
    This is getting crazy.
[09:42] Kaya
    I understand.
[09:43] Kaya
    Where is he?
SIGN    Kumagaiya
[09:55] Dad
    What do you want?
[09:56] Airi
    Huh? I thought I'd help out.
[10:00] Dad
    What brings you here?
[10:03] Airi
    Huh? The daughter
    of a confectioner doesn't need
[10:07] Airi
    a reason to make sweets.
[10:09] Airi
    So this is how you make them.
[10:12] Dad
    You're in the way.
[10:13] Airi
    Isn't there anything I can do to help?
[10:17] Dad
    No.
[10:19] Dad
    Don't you have your thing today?
[10:21] Airi
    What?
[10:22] Dad
    You're always going to your lessons.
[10:27] Dad
    Go line up those sweets.
[10:31] Airi
    Okay.
[10:34] Mom
    Huh?
[10:36] Mom
    Airi, you're helping around
    the shop? How unusual.
[10:39] Airi
    Yeah.
[10:40] Mom
    You must be so happy, Dad.
SIGN    Mori no Miyako Game Land
[10:49] Miyu
    Is he really here?
[10:51] Minami
    Matsuda-san doesn't lie.
[10:55] Minami
    There he is!
[10:59] Hayasaka
    You won't cut Hayashida Airi,
    but you want to continue your lessons?
[11:08] Hayasaka
    Don't you think you're pushing your luck?
[11:09] Miyu
    You're right.
[11:11] Kaya
    But this is the conclusion we
    reached after discussing it together.
[11:14] Kaya
    Even the president
    told us to come talk to you.
[11:20] Hayasaka
    I see.
[11:22] Hayasaka
    You can start by doing
    what I tell you to do.
[11:25] Minami
    All right!
[11:27] Hayasaka
    It's still too early to celebrate.
[11:29] Hayasaka
    Could you go get
    three of those for me?
[11:40] Mayu
    Airi...
[11:41] Airi
    Well? Don't I look good?
[11:45] Kaya
    Okay, just like that.
[11:48] Kaya
    That was close.
[11:50] Kaya
    We'll get it next time.
[11:51] Miyu
    You've been saying "we'll get it
    next time" since three tries ago.
[11:56] Kaya
    Shut up!
[11:57] Miyu
    Stop, stop!
[11:58] Miyu
    You're too slow!
[12:01] Kaya
    I told you to shut up!
[12:08] Mayu
    Um...
[12:09] Mom
    Here you go.
[12:12] Mom
    Sorry all we ever
    have is our sweets.
[12:16] Mom
    Oh, Airi made these.
[12:20] Mom
    That's why they look a little funny.
[12:22] Airi
    That's enough, Mom.
[12:25] Mom
    Okay, okay. I'm sorry
    for bothering you.
[12:31] Mayu
    Listen...
[12:32] Airi
    I'm thinking of quitting WUG.
[12:36] Airi
    Unlike everyone else,
    I don't have any talent.
[12:42] Airi
    Even if I keep practicing, I...
[12:46] Yoshino
    Did Hayasaka-san tell you that?
[12:49] Airi
    Yeah.
[13:01] Hayasaka
    You're not having any luck.
[13:03] Hayasaka
    What are you going to do?
[13:07] Kaya
    I'm going to get more change.
[13:12] Minami
    I'll give it a try.
[13:14] Both
    What?
[13:15] Airi
    I thought I could get somewhere
    with enough practice, but I can't.
[13:21] Yoshino
    I feel the same way about myself.
[13:24] Airi
    You and I are on different levels.
[13:30] Airi
    I love Wake Up, Girls!.
[13:34] Airi
    When I'm with everyone,
    I can't help how much fun I'm having.
[13:40] Airi
    Since the audition, I've always
    thought everyone's so cute.
[13:46] Airi
    I felt elated.
[13:51] Airi
    I wrongly assumed just being with
    you made me part of the group.
[13:59] Mayu
    Wrongly assumed?
[14:00] Airi
    Yeah, I was wrong.
[14:03] Airi
    Now that I think about it,
[14:04] Airi
    there's something wrong with
    me being in the same group
[14:09] Airi
    as a former I-1 center and
    someone who's been in magazines.
[14:15] Yoshino
    I don't think that's true.
[14:17] Airi
    It is.
[14:18] Yoshino
    What?
[14:19] Airi
    It is true.
[14:22] Airi
    After all, I'm the only
    one who's different.
[14:25] Yoshino
    What?
[14:27] Airi
    I'm the only one with no presence.
[14:30] Yoshino
    That's not...
[14:31] Airi
    You don't need to force yourself, Yoppi.
[14:33] Yoshino
    I'm not forcing anything.
[14:35] Airi
    I understand who I am.
[14:39] Mayu
    Why would you say that?
[14:42] Mayu
    I decided to join WUG and try being
    an idol again because of you.
[14:49] Airi
    What?
[14:50] Mayu
    When I heard you were auditioning
    and we sang and danced together,
[14:55] Mayu
    I realized something.
[14:57] Mayu
    I like doing this kind of thing.
[15:02] Airi
    Because the night is cold, tomorrow...
[15:07] Airi
    The mic is bothering me,
    and I can't sing!
[15:09] Mayu
    Let me see that.
[15:11] Mayu
    Remember this distance between
    your mouth and the mic.
[15:14] Airi
    Huh.
[15:16] Mayu
    Give it a try.
[15:23] Mayu
    When I was depressed,
    you appeared blindingly bright.
[15:39] Mayu
    You were shining then.
[15:42] Mayu
    That's how it looked to me.
[15:46] Mayu
    You made me decide to return.
[15:51] Mayu
    So don't say you're quitting.
[15:57] Kaya
    You've got it!
[15:58] Nanami
    You can do it!
[15:59] Miyu
    Just like that!
[16:03] Minami
    All right!
[16:04] Miyu
    I got one! Okay, let's get another!
[16:07] Kaya
    Let's keep up our energy!
[16:08] All
    Yeah!
[16:16] Airi
    I'm sorry. I can't do it.
[16:19] Airi
    I may have been shining then,
[16:22] Airi
    but now I'm just
    holding everyone back.
[16:26] Yoshino
    So, what?
[16:27] Airi
    Huh?
[16:28] Yoshino
    Then let's make sure you don't!
[16:31] Yoshino
    I'll even help you!
[16:34] Yoshino
    At the very least,
    it's not too late to quit until...
[16:38] Yoshino
    until after you've tried everything!
[16:42] Airi
    Yoppi...
[16:44] Yoshino
    I don't know how
    I ended up as our leader,
[16:49] Yoshino
    but I have no idea
    what I'm supposed to do!
[16:54] Yoshino
    I don't know what I'm doing.
[16:57] Yoshino
    Everyone keeps telling me things,
    and they seem really worried.
[17:01] Yoshino
    I even tried organizing
    everyone's thoughts,
[17:03] Yoshino
    but I couldn't even organize my own.
[17:07] Yoshino
    When Hayasaka-san told us
    to decide whether we'd continue
[17:11] Yoshino
    our lessons or cut you
    from the group...
[17:14] Yoshino
    everyone kept saying
    leader, leader, but...
[17:17] Airi
    So that's what happened.
[17:19] Yoshino
    What?
[17:20] Airi
    Don't worry about me anymore.
[17:24] Airi
    I don't want to cause
    any more trouble.
[17:26] Yoshino
    You said we shouldn't
    worry on our own!
[17:29] Yoshino
    You're the one who said
    we shouldn't worry on our own.
[17:33] Yoshino
    Worry with the rest of us, then.
[17:35] Yoshino
    Let's think together.
[17:37] Yoshino
    If we don't do that,
    what's the purpose of this group?
[17:40] Airi
    You can talk to us about anything.
[17:42] Airi
    We're a group. Let's come
    up with something together.
[17:50] Nanami
    You're amazing, Minami!
[17:51] Miyu
    Airi! Airi!
[17:53] Both
    Airi! Airi!
[17:55] All
    Airi! Airi!
[17:57] [CHANTING]
    Airi!
[17:58] Hayasaka
    Your time's almost up.
[18:00] Minami
    Hayasaka-san,
    give us one more chance.
[18:04] Minami
    Prepare yourself, Musubimaru!
[18:08] Yoshino
    After discussing it, we decided
    we'd do anything to bring you back!
[18:14] Yoshino
    That's why Mayushi and I came here!
[18:18] Yoshino
    This is my first command as a leader.
[18:23] Yoshino
    Come back, Airi!
[18:57] All
    All right!
[18:59] Miyu
    Yes, yes!
[19:02] Minami
    Yeah!
[19:05] Minami
    Here.
[19:17] Airi
    Thank you.
[19:18] Yoshino
    It's okay.
[19:20] Airi
    Why are you crying, Yoppi?
[19:22] Yoshino
    I don't know.

    What?
[19:47] Tange
    They completed their Musubimaru task,
    so you changed your mind?
[19:50] Tange
    Airi's staying on board?
[19:53] Tange
    Can't you explain so I'll understand?
[19:56] Matsuda
    What did Hayasaka-san say?
[19:58] Tange
    As usual, I had no idea
    what he was saying...
[20:02] Tange
    In any case, Airi has returned to WUG,
[20:05] Tange
    and he's going to
    continue his lessons.

    Really?
[20:11] Tange
    He says he's sick of watching
    amateur potatoes pretend to be friends,
[20:16] Tange
    but it seems that's what
    that weirdo likes about them.
[20:21] Matsuda
    What?
[20:22] Tange
    It must be because he's
    worked with I-1 for so long.

    Dad.

    I know I'm in the middle of helping you,
    but something came up.

    I finally got to say
    what I wanted to say.
[21:16] Mayu
    Huh?
[21:17] Yoshino
    I think I understand what
    Karina-san meant when
[21:19] Yoshino
    she said we should fight.
[21:22] Mayu
    Yeah.
[21:25] Yoshino
    Mayushi, if there's anything
    you want to say...
[21:37] Airi
    Excuse me...
[21:38] Hayasaka
    Huh?
[21:39] Airi
    I-I'll make you
    acknowledge me someday.
[21:47] Hayasaka
    My acknowledgment
    won't do you any good.
[21:51] Hayasaka
    You need ordinary people
    to recognize you.
[21:55] Hayasaka
    In other words, your audience.
[21:57] Hayasaka
    Anyway, here.

[23:45] Airi
    Mayushi, are you friends with Yoppi?
[23:47] Mayu
    Huh? Where did that come from?
[23:49] Airi
    It just always seems that way.
[23:51] Mayu
    You think so?
[23:53] Mayu
    We're just ordinary friends.
[23:53] Airi
    I see. That's fine, then.
[23:56] Mayu
    What? That sounded
    really significant...
