    My shoelace...
[04:13] Kaya
    It really has improved.
[04:14] Mayu
    What?
[04:16] Kaya
    My aunt's right.
    The city has gotten a lot better.
[04:27] Mayu
    Has it been a while
    since you were last here?
[04:28] Kaya
    Yeah. It's my first time since then.
[04:31] Mayu
    I see. I was in Tokyo then, so...
[04:35] Kaya
    Right.
[04:40] Kaya
    When I was little, I lost my parents.
[04:43] Kaya
    My aunt was my mother.
[04:46] Mayu
    I see.
[04:48] Kaya
    I caused her a lot of worry.
[04:52] Minami
    Hey!
[04:53] Minami
    Are you guys okay?
[04:55] Kaya
    Sorry! We'll be right there!
[05:08] All
    Thanks for the food!
[05:10] Minami
    Saury!
[05:12] Minami
    It's really tasty, meow!
[05:17] Minami
    Kayatan, that's amazing.
[05:19] Kazuko
    Kaya-chan has loved saury
    since she was little.
[05:23] Minami
    Really? Lucky.
[05:24] Miyu
    Yoppi, don't tell me you don't like saury.
[05:29] Kaya
    I can't believe you don't like saury.
[05:31] Airi
    Have you even tried it?
[05:33] Miyu
    You're such a little kid.
[05:37] Yoshino
    I just have to eat it, right?
[05:39] Kaya
    You're supposed to squeeze some citrus
[05:40] Kaya
    and put grated white radish on it.
[05:41] Yoshino
    I know that.
[05:44] Yoshino
    It's good.
[05:45] Kaya
    Isn't it?
[05:49] Minami
    Does saury make your breasts bigger?
[05:52] Miyu
    Oh, I see.
[05:54] Miyu
    Kayatan, you've liked saury
    since you were little, right?
[05:57] Minami
    It must be.
[05:59] Kaya
    Saury has nothing to do with it.
[06:02] Minami
    By the way, where's the president?
[06:14] Manager
    This is on the house.
[06:17] Tange
    Oh, don't worry about me.
[06:19] Tange
    Just because I'm a woman
    traveling through the north,
[06:21] Tange
    it doesn't necessarily mean that.
[06:22] Manager
    Well, but...
[06:23] Tange
    Anyway, it's the opposite.
[06:25] Tange
    Lately, coming north gives me energy.
[06:31] Tange
    Thanks for the food.
[06:33] Tange
    Here's your money.
[06:34] Tange
    Keep the change.

    You're a thousand yen short.
[06:37] Tange
    Oh...
[06:38] Manager
    Thank you very much.
[06:41] Tange
    Now, let's see how these girls
[06:43] Tange
    will get themselves
    out of this predicament.
[07:05] Mayu
    What's wrong?
[07:06] Kaya
    Nothing.
[07:07] Kaya
    You're really into this.
[07:08] Mayu
    Yeah, I run every day.
[07:11] Kaya
    I see.
[07:17] Mayu
    I wasn't sure what would happen then,
[07:20] Mayu
    but everyone's stronger than I expected.
[07:24] Kaya
    Can I tell you a secret?
[07:26] Mayu
    What?
[07:33] Mayu
    Can I read it?
[07:34] Kaya
    Yeah.
[07:37] Mayu
    Kaya-chan, how are you?
[07:38] Mayu
    A buoy with a Shoutoumaru
    mark washed up in Alaska.
[07:42] Mayu
    We decided to take it.
[07:44] Mayu
    Anyway, Kaya-chan,
    why don't you come home?
[07:48] Mayu
    What is this?
[07:49] Kaya
    I got that letter from my aunt last year.
[07:53] Kaya
    Three years ago, I lost
    many important things.
[08:00] Kaya
    Living here became really difficult.
[08:03] Kaya
    I ran away to Sendai.
[08:06] Kaya
    Anyway, I still couldn't go home,
    even after receiving that letter.
[08:11] Kaya
    I couldn't make the decision
    to return for so long.
[08:16] Kaya
    In the end, I idled around in Sendai.
[08:19] Kaya
    I didn't know what to do.
[08:22] Kaya
    Then I happened to see it.
SIGN    Gyoza no Tenpari

SIGN    Large Idol Group AUDITION Open!!
SIGN    Gyoza no Tenpari
[08:35] Kaya
    I thought I'd apply.
[08:39] Kaya
    I started on a whim.
[08:41] Kaya
    I thought I'd work and have fun,
[08:44] Kaya
    and if it got boring,
    I'd quit on a whim.
[08:48] Kaya
    But it slowly stopped being that way.
[08:51] Kaya
    With everything that's happened,
    it's just not fun, anymore.
[08:55] Kaya
    I've had frustrating and
    difficult experiences, too.
[08:57] Kaya
    And then I remembered
    something from my past.
[09:03] Kaya
    I lost again!
[09:05] Boy
    You're so weak!
[09:06] Kaya
    Why are you so strong?
[09:08] Boy
    I was sick of losing to my
    grandpa and dad all the time.
[09:13] Boy
    While trying over and over,
    I gradually got stronger.
[09:16] Boy
    These days, I can almost beat my dad.
[09:18] Kaya
    Really?
[09:20] Boy
    You should keep challenging people
    stronger than yourself, too.
[09:23] Boy
    It'll make you stronger.
[09:25] Kaya
    Okay! Let's do it again!
[09:28] Boy
    Sure!
[09:29] Kaya
    I kept trying after that.
[09:32] Kaya
    By the end, I had improved enough
    to beat him a lot of the time.
[09:38] Kaya
    That's why I can't walk away
    after losing to strong opponents.
[09:42] Kaya
    I don't think Wake Up, Girls!
    can end like this, either.
[09:47] Kaya
    I feel like I finally found
    something I can work toward.
[09:51] Kaya
    That's why I felt like
    I could return to the city
[09:54] Kaya
    I'd been running from.
[09:57] Kaya
    But I couldn't do it alone,
    so I had everyone come with me.
[10:03] Mayu
    I see.
[10:05] Kaya
    I don't know how that little
    buoy made its way to Alaska,
[10:10] Kaya
    but I felt like it was
    telling me to keep trying.
[10:17] Kaya
    I want to work hard for those who can't.
[10:22] Kaya
    That's how I feel now.
[10:26] Kaya
    This is my secret.
[10:28] Kaya
    Sorry. I know that wasn't like me.
[10:31] Mayu
    It's okay.
[10:34] Miyu
    I can't hear what they're saying.
[10:36] Miyu
    Let's get a little closer.
[10:37] Minami
    They'll notice.
[10:39] Airi
    Quiet.
[10:41] Kaya
    Now it's your turn.
[10:43] Mayu
    What?
[10:47] Kaya
    Don't you think it's time to tell us?
[10:54] Kaya
    Remember what you said?
[10:57] Mayu
    Huh?
[10:58] Mayu
    I want to make myself happy.
[11:02] Kaya
    What did that mean?
[11:06] Mayu
    There's something I've always thought.
[11:10] Mayu
    There are three different
    ways to make someone happy.
[11:14] Kaya
    What?
[11:15] Mayu
    Yeah...
[11:17] Mayu
    First,
[11:18] Mayu
    there are those who can make lots
    of people around the world happy.
[11:21] Mayu
    Then there are people who can make
    the people around them happy.
[11:25] Mayu
    Finally,
[11:28] Mayu
    there are those who can
    make themselves happy.
[11:31] Mayu
    I haven't made the people of the
    world or the ones around me happy,
[11:37] Mayu
    so I, at least, want to make myself happy.
[11:43] Kaya
    I want to make myself happy, too.
[11:47] Kaya
    For those who couldn't do it themselves.
[11:50] Kaya
    So, did you do it?
[11:55] Kaya
    Does that have something to do
    with the reason you quit I-1?
[12:01] Kaya
    Everyone's worried about you.
[12:07] Mayu
    It's a long story.
[12:10] Kaya
    Okay.
SIGN    4 Years Ago
[12:16] Mayu
    I joined I-1 when I was 12.
[12:20] Mayu
    For two years after that,
    I worked desperately hard.
[12:25] Shiraki
    You are the first generation of the I-1 Club.
[12:29] Shiraki
    You are the elite who were accepted
    out of ten thousand applicants.
[12:34] Shiraki
    Don't forget. Starting today,
[12:36] Shiraki
    you are an idol first and
    a human being second.
[12:40] Shiraki
    Make sure you understand that.
[12:43] All
    Yes, sir!
[12:56] Mayu
    Crazy About You
[12:56] Mayu
    At first, it was fun.
[12:59] Mayu
    Everything I saw and heard was so new.
[13:03] Mayu
    I made new discoveries every day.
[13:06] Mayu
    But eventually...
[13:10] Mayu
    I felt restricted by the harsh rules.
[13:12] Mayu
    It became harder and harder to breathe.
[13:14] Mayu
    I felt restricted and constrained.
[13:19] Mayu
    But because becoming an idol was
    my dream, I kept working hard.
[13:25] Shiraki
    Starting tomorrow, the following
    individuals do not need to come.
[13:28] Shiraki
    Number 16.
[13:33] MAI
    I heard some pictures she took
    with a male friend got out.
[13:38] Shiraki
    Number 23.
[13:40] Shiraki
    Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come.
[13:44] Shiraki
    Number 37.
[13:46] Shiraki
    Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come.
[13:52] Shiraki
    Number 5, starting tomorrow,
    you don't need to come.
[13:58] Mayu
    Serika?
[14:01] Serika
    I don't want to quit!
[14:03] Shiraki
    What?
[14:04] Serika
    I don't want to quit!
[14:06] Shiraki
    Why did you break the rules, then?
[14:09] Shiraki
    I'm always telling you romantic
    relationships are forbidden.
[14:12] Serika
    Why can't we love?
[14:14] Serika
    I've never neglected
    my work because of love!
[14:19] Serika
    I'm practicing my singing and dancing!
[14:22] Shiraki
    That doesn't matter.
[14:34] Mayu
    Um... We worked hard together to get here.
[14:39] Mayu
    I think it was wrong of Serika
    to break the rules, but please.
[14:43] Mayu
    Please don't make her quit!
[14:45] Shiraki
    Number 3...
[14:46] Shiraki
    Your name is Shimada-kun, isn't it?
[14:49] Shiraki
    You don't understand at all.
[14:51] Mayu
    What?
[14:52] Shiraki
    You're only allowed to love your fans.
[14:56] Shiraki
    If you show even a hint
    of love with someone else,
[14:58] Shiraki
    in that moment, you stop being an idol.
[15:01] Shiraki
    In other words,
    you're a piece of subhuman trash.
[15:06] Shiraki
    Such an existence is not necessary in I-1.
[15:11] Mayu
    Don't talk about Serika like that!
[15:20] Shiraki
    I am very familiar
    with how good you are.
[15:23] Shiraki
    That's why I chose you to be I-1's center.
[15:27] Shiraki
    Fortunately, all the singles
    we've produced since you became
[15:31] Shiraki
    the center have reached
    the top of weekly charts.
[15:34] Shiraki
    Are you sure you don't mistakenly
    believe you did that all yourself?
[15:40] Shiraki
    Learn your place.
[15:43] Shiraki
    We will be releasing two
    singles simultaneously next.
[15:47] Shiraki
    You will be the center of one.
[15:49] Shiraki
    Number 2 will be the
    center of the other.
[15:52] Mayu
    Shihocchi?
[15:54] Shiraki
    If your sales are better,
    I will overlook this.
[15:58] Shiraki
    However, if number 2's sales
    are better, you will be fired.
[16:02] Mayu
    You can't...
[16:03] Shiraki
    Shouldn't you be prepared
    for such consequences
[16:07] Shiraki
    when you complain to your employer?
[16:12] Mayu
    I understand.
[16:15] Shiraki
    I'm always telling you girls.
[16:17] Shiraki
    You're an idol first and
    a human being second.
[16:21] Mayu
    No...

    Why would you go and do that?

    Yeah. I caused trouble for my dad, too.

    That's rough.
[17:34] Mayu
    In the end, because of my work
    in the entertainment industry,
[17:37] Mayu
    my parents got divorced.
[17:39] Mayu
    I was fired from I-1.
[17:42] Mayu
    I returned to my mother's home in Sendai.
[17:45] Mayu
    I've been running, too.
[17:50] Mayu
    But I can't give up singing and dancing.
[17:54] Mayu
    That's why I wanted to give it another try.
[17:58] Kaya
    I see.
[18:00] Mayu
    I'd be lying if I said I didn't
    hold a grudge against I-1.
[18:03] Mayu
    I've been traumatized by
     the entertainment industry, too.
[18:06] Mayu
    But since meeting
    President Tange, Matsuda-san,
[18:10] Mayu
    and everyone in Wake Up, Girls!...
[18:14] Mayu
    I want to overcome that.
[18:16] Mayu
    No, I believe I can overcome that.
[18:21] Mayu
    After all, I've learned a lot of things
[18:25] Mayu
    I didn't know when I was in I-1.
[18:27] Mayu
    I hope you'll support us!
[18:29] Minami

    That's why I wanted
    to stand on the stage again
[18:47] Mayu
    with everyone from Green Leaves.
[18:50] Mayu
    I felt like I was going nowhere.
[18:54] Kaya
    I see how it is now.
[18:55] Mayu
    I finally believe I'm here
    to make myself happy.
[19:04] Kaya
    You should tell everyone that.
[19:07] Kaya
    They're really worried about you.

    What?
[19:15] Mayu
    Yoppi...
[19:18] Mayu
    I'm sorry for not telling you.

    I'm really sorry.
[19:27] Yoshino
    It's okay. I'm sorry.
[19:30] Yoshino
    I said too much.

    I may not be much of a leader,
    but I'm doing my best, too.

    So talk to me.

    I want you to talk to me.

    What's gotten into you?
[19:58] Nanami
    This perfect two-shot!
[20:01] Nanami
    I can't have you speaking
    so honestly with each other!
[20:05] Nanami
    I'm going to stop with
    the half-measures, too!
[20:07] Minami
    Nanami, I've been wondering
    for a while now, but what is that?
[20:11] Miyu
    Huh? What?
[20:12] Miyu
    What?!
[20:14] Nanami
    I, Hisami Nanami, declare my intention
[20:17] Nanami
    to work wholeheartedly
    for Wake Up, Girls!
[20:20] Minami
    Hikari... Music...
[20:22] Minami
    What is this?
[20:24] Miyu
    Huh? The Hikarizuka
    entrance requirements?
[20:26] Miyu
    Does this mean you're not applying?
[20:29] Nanami
    Not this time.
[20:30] Nanami
    In any case, I'm going to
    focus on the Idol Festival.
[20:34] Airi
    What? You are?
[20:36] Nanami
    I made my decision.
[20:37] Minami
    You're on fire, Nanami.
[20:39] Nanami
    Now that that's decided, Ai-chan,
    you'll have to train hard.
[20:42] Airi
    Who? Me?
[20:43] Nanami
    Your dancing.
[20:44] Nanami
    Honestly speaking,
[20:45] Nanami
    what you showed me the other
    day was completely wrong.
[20:47] Airi
    What?!
[20:54] Minami
    You shouldn't litter.
[20:56] Airi
    Nanami, why did you
    have to scatter the pieces?
[20:59] Nanami
    Sorry about that.
[21:00] Nanami
    I couldn't help myself.
[21:02] Minami
    Nanami, you got some in the ocean.
[21:04] Nanami
    Oh, fine. I'll pick it up...
[21:08] Yoshino
    Watch out!
[21:15] Matsuda
    Why are you making so much
    noise so early in the morning?
[21:22] Matsuda
    You can't be serious...
[21:25] Minami
    It's so cramped!
[21:26] Yoshino
    You need to warm up.
[21:31] Matsuda
    Sheesh...
[21:32] Tange
    Well, who cares?
[21:33] Matsuda
    What are they going to do
    if they catch a cold?
[21:35] Matsuda
    They have no self-awareness!
[21:36] Tange
    I suppose...
[21:38] Tange
    But I'm glad we came.
[21:40] Matsuda
    What?
[21:40] Tange
    People who didn't know each
    other until the group formed
[21:46] Tange
    are somehow moving
    towards a common goal.
[21:56] Tange
    They're a group of people
    with different styles of thinking,
[21:59] Tange
    past experiences,
    and dreams for the future.
[22:03] Tange
    But now they have to face the wall
    that's in front of them together.
SIGN    You can do it!
[22:09] Tange
    Idols truly are mysterious...

[23:45] Miyu
    I think I'm too ambitious.
[23:48] Yoshino
    Is that right?
[23:49] Miyu
    I want to be the best idol I can be.
[23:51] Yoshino
    The best, huh?
