    Morning.
[00:29] Clerk B
    Good morning, San-chan.
[00:32] Background grannies
    Great weather today.
[00:33] Granny E
    San-chan!
[00:34] Background grannies
    Kinda weather that makes you wanna go out.
[00:35] Granny E
    Have you been eating aside from lunch?
[00:37] Background grannies
    Sure is.
[00:38] Ai
    Yes.
[00:39] Granny E
    You always look so sickly,
    it's got me worried.
[00:42] Granny A
    I know! I'll bring you some
    nori next chance I get.
[00:46] Granny A
    Doesn't get much more
    nutritious than Saga's nori!
[00:48] Ai
    Thank you.
[00:55] Chief
    Well, good morning everyone!
[00:57] Workers
    Good morning.
[00:59] Chief
    We've got a fine view of
    Imari Bay again today,
[01:03] Chief
    and the horseshoe crabs are looking lively.
[01:05] Chief
    I'm hoping you'll all cook, slice,
    and dry with the kinda pride
[01:10] Chief
    folks working for the only dried
    squid maker in Kyushu ought to have.
[01:13] Chief
    Time for the company anthem!
[01:15] Chief
    Leading us today is gonna be Tatsumi-kun.
[01:18] Chief
    If you could!
[01:20] Ai
    Right!

[03:03] Lily
    There you are!
[03:04] Sakura
    Welcome back, Ai-chan.
[03:05] Junko
    Welcome home.
[03:07] Ai
    I brought you guys something.
[03:08] Ai
    Tono-sama dried squid.
[03:09] Lily
    Yay!
[03:12] Sakura
    Tae-chan! Cut that out!
[03:14] Sakura
    We're all gonna share that!
[03:16] Sakura
    Enough!
[03:17] Saki
    Hey, Ai. The water's yours if you want it.
[03:19] Ai
    Thanks. I think I will.
[03:23] Sakura
    I'm glad nobody found out
    we're zombies today!
[03:26] Junko
    It's been surprisingly easy
    to keep it under wraps.
[03:29] Ai
    And we've all been working for a month now.
[03:31] Ai
    Should be fine as long as
    nothing crazy happens.
[03:34] Ai
    It's you two I'm worried about, Sakura.
[03:37] Sakura
    I'll be careful.
[03:39] Lily
    Tae-chan, manners!
[03:41] Ai
    If you think about it,
[03:43] Ai
    Yugiri probably needs to be most careful
    since she has a service job...
[03:47] Ai
    But I don't think we need to worry.
[03:49] Sakura
    She really took to it easily!
[03:51] Sakura
    Like she already had the right bearing.
[03:54] Lily
    Tae-chan, stop!
[03:54] Ai
    If we keep working, we should be
    able to get out of debt eventually!
[03:57] Lily
    Cut it out! No—
[03:58] Sakura
    Yeah!
[04:02] Sakura
    The girls of Franchouchou, in the
    last winter of the Heisei era,
[04:06] Sakura
    pulled off a show at Arpino
    with a 500-member audience.
SIGN    Franchouchou's Miracle Performance on a Snowy Evening
[04:09] Sakura
    After that, our profile
    blew up like a balloon,
[04:11] Sakura
    with our first CD selling like hotcakes!
[04:14] Sakura
    It was such a thrill to get to
    perform at a bunch of new venues!
[04:18] Sakura
    Then a month later...
SIGN    Concert
[04:20] (Flashback) Kotaro
    And boom!
[04:21] (Flashback) Kotaro
    We're barreling right into a show at the
    Ekimae Fudosan Stadium... EFS for short!
[04:26] (Flashback) Kotaro
    And then, once you've got the crowd on fire,
[04:29] (Flashback) Kotaro
    you'll blow them up with the new
    song as an encore, like boom!
[04:34] (Flashback) Kotaro
    Franchouchou's legend is going to
    keep blowing up like a cluster bomb!
SIGN    Ekimae Fudosan Stadium
[04:39] Sakura
    So, Franchouchou was on
    stage for a show at the EFS!
[04:42] Sakura
    And the result?
[04:47] Sakura
    We managed to sell 500 tickets
    of the 30,000-person venue.
[04:50] Sakura
    That's an attendance rate of 1.66%!
SIGN    Attendance Rate
[04:52] Sakura
    We bombed in the worst way
    any idol group can imagine!
SIGN    BOMBED
[04:55] Sakura
    Our performance was totally shaky,
[04:56] Sakura
    which meant no encore, and our new
    song was put back on the shelf...
[04:59] Sakura
    Plus, we ended up saddled with a huge debt!
[05:02] Sakura
    A-boo-hoo-hoo!
[05:05] (Flashback) Kotaro
    Is this hell?
SIGN    Franchouchou falls apart at EFS
[05:12] Sakura
    We might've had a huge disaster,
    but we still want to get on stage again!
[05:17] Sakura
    That's why we've all gotten jobs
    to pay off that debt!
[05:23] Sakura
    We're not gonna give up!
[05:25] Sakura
    As for our producer, Kotaro-san...
SIGN    Jofuku's Retreat
[05:33] Kotaro
    Pope's nose...!
[05:34] Kotaro
    Pope's nose! Why would you...
[05:36] Kotaro
    Why call it that?!
[05:37] Kotaro
    Oh, you want me to save Saga?
[05:40] Kotaro
    Gee, I wonder...
[05:41] Kotaro
    Hell no! It ain't happening!
[05:43] Kotaro
    Saga's doomed!
[05:45] Kotaro
    It's the Sagapocalypse!
[05:49] Kotaro
    That's... That's why I
    wanted to take Saga and...
[05:53] Kotaro
    Pope's nose!
[05:55] Kotaro
    Good grief! What must that feel like?!
[06:00] Lily
    Hey, Saga!
[06:02] Lily
    Time for your milk!
[06:07] Ai
    Come on, hold still!
[06:10] Sakura
    We keep trying, but it
    never turns out right...
[06:13] Saki
    It just doesn't have the lively look,
     y'know what I mean?
[06:17] Junko
    Well, we are dead, after all.
[06:20] Sakura
    I think Kotaro-san is the only one
    who can get the color right...
[06:24] Saki
    What the hell is wrong with Shades, anyway?

[06:27] Sakura
    I'll go check on him again.
[06:31] Sakura
    Good evening.
[06:33] Sakura
    Is he in?
[06:40] Sakura
    Kotaro-san! Wake up!
[06:43] Sakura
    Kotaro-san?
[06:45] Kotaro
    What the...?! So dark! I can't see a thing!
[06:48] Sakura
    That's because you grew
    your hair out too long!
[06:52] Kotaro
    Oh, it's Sakura. Again.
[06:54] Sakura
    It can't be healthy to act like this.
[06:57] Sakura
    Oh, and listen to this!
[06:59] Sakura
    We all worked hard and managed to get
[07:01] Sakura
    more money together for this
    month than we expected!
[07:06] Sakura
    Kotaro-san... what happened
    at the EFS was a real shame,
[07:12] Sakura
    but I think, in the end,
     it'll be a good experience for us!
[07:17] Sakura
    If we can get past this,
    I know we'll be even—
[07:19] Kotaro
    It's already over.
[07:21] Sakura
    We're not letting it end!
[07:22] Sakura
    I don't know when,
     but we'll pay off that debt!
[07:26] Sakura
    No matter how long it takes,
     we'll do our best and keep working!
[07:32] Kotaro
    Just go, okay?
[07:35] Sakura
    We've got a death metal show at Geil's soon.
[07:39] Sakura
    That was where we went on
    stage for the first time.
[07:41] Sakura
    We all decided to perform there again
    so Franchouchou could get a fresh start.
[07:46] Sakura
    We wanna sing the song we
    didn't get to at the EFS.
[07:51] Sakura
    So, please, come and see us.
[08:03] Kotaro
    What's with you?! Huh?!
[08:05] Kotaro
    You're all squinched up, like a pope's nose!
[08:08] Kotaro
    The chicken, I mean! Huh?!
[08:09] Kotaro
    Hey, Sakura, say, "I'm a pope's nose!"
[08:12] Kotaro
    Overhead toss!
[08:14] Sakura
    How can we get the old Kotaro-san back?
[08:19] Saki
    Being a total wreck for a
    whole month is pretty bad.
[08:22] Junko
    It's going to be hard for Franchouchou
    to operate without Tatsumi-san.
[08:28] Ai
    I'm just guessing here, but...
[08:31] Ai
    It might not be about the money.
[08:34] Yugiri
    You suppose there's something
    that he wouldn't tell us?
[08:37] Ai
    When you get down to it,
    it was weird that he wanted us
[08:40] Ai
    to perform at the EFS
    when he did in the first place.
[08:42] Junko
    Now that you mention it, I can't imagine
    why he thought it'd be a success...
[08:46] Sakura
    Maybe he was... in a hurry, or something?
[08:48] Saki
    For what?
[08:49] Sakura
    I dunno, but...
[08:51] Yugiri
    If Ai-han's on the right track
[08:53] Yugiri
    and we can figure out the details,
[08:55] Yugiri
    there may be a way to get through to him.
[08:58] Lily
    I wonder if we could find
    anything in Tatsumi's room.
[09:08] Junko
    It's open.
[09:10] Saki
    Hell yeah!
[09:12] Saki
    All right, time for a raid!
[09:13] Lily
    Yay!
[09:14] Sakura
    H-H-Hang on a sec!
[09:15] Saki
    Hey, hey, hey, check it out!
[09:26] Sakura
    Nobody break anything, okay?
[09:30] Sakura
    Ow, ow, ow...
[09:35] Sakura
    Oh, what do I do now?!
[09:40] Kotaro
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, like this!
[09:44] Kotaro
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, like this!
[09:47] Kotaro
    Yeah, yeah woohoo—
    Wait, no, not like this...
SIGN    Encore
[09:50] Ai
    This is the song we were supposed
    to sing for the encore.
[09:50] Kotaro
    It's not "yeah, yeah, woohoo."
[09:52] Kotaro
    It's more like...
[09:53] Saki
    Guess it's a work-in-progress tape.
[09:54] Kotaro
    Yeah, yeah....
[09:56] Kotaro
    Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[09:58] Kotaro
    Yeah, okay...
[09:59] Kotaro
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, like this!
[10:03] Ai
    This must be his usual process.
[10:06] Ai
    You can feel the passion.
[10:08] Saki
    Before he burned out, anyway.
[10:11] Lily
    We never figured out why
    he was in a rush, either.
[10:16] Sakura
    But now we know how he felt
    about the EFS show...
[10:20] Sakura
    Let's make sure Kotaro-san
    comes to our next one.
[10:24] Sakura
    If we can sing the encore we didn't before,
    maybe he'll turn back to normal.
[10:30] Sakura
    If he feels better, maybe we'll understand!
[10:33] Junko
    That might be the most effective way.
[10:36] Saki
    No other way about it. We're gonna
    hit him where it feels good!
[10:40] FCC
    Yeah!

    Kotaro-han...
[12:08] Yugiri
    You're drinking too much.
[12:10] Kotaro
    Wrong...
[12:12] Yugiri
    Excuse me?
[12:13] Kotaro
    I was wrong...
[12:16] Kotaro
    I was wrong...
[12:19] Kotaro
    I was so wrong...
[12:25] Ai
    Okay, if we can pull that off
     on stage, we'll be good to go.
[12:29] Saki
    No reason we can't!
[12:31] Sakura
    That just leaves Kotaro-san...
[12:35] Saki
    We never heard from him, huh?
[12:38] Junko
    After what Yugiri-san told us
    about how he was last night...
[12:41] Yugiri
    He was coming apart at the seams.
[12:44] Sakura
    I don't want any of you to worry.
[12:47] Sakura
    I'm gonna go bring him in.
[12:50] Sakura
    The rest of you should get ready!
[12:52] Sakura
    The show is tonight.
[12:58] Sakura
    Please, hear me out!
[13:00] Kotaro
    I already told you to do whatever you want.
[13:02] Sakura
    I'm only asking you to show up!
[13:04] Sakura
    Me and the others want to sing
    your songs a whole lot more!
[13:10] Sakura
    We want to keep being idols!
[13:14] Kotaro
    There is nothing more I can do.
[13:20] Sakura
    What happened to you?
[13:24] Sakura
    Do you remember what you said?
[13:27] (Flashback) Kotaro
    I have what it takes!
[13:29] (Flashback) Kotaro
    I will never abandon you!
[13:32] Sakura
    Where did that Kotaro-san go?
[13:37] Kotaro
    Guess I had less than I thought...
[13:40] Sakura
    You're such a jerk! I don't care anymore!
[13:58] Sakura
    We're going to have to make this show
    a success, even without Kotaro-san.
[14:10] Death Dude A
    We don't come around for a while and now
    the whole club's filled with new folks.
[14:14] Death Dude B
    I hope Franchouchou is gonna be okay.
[14:16] Death Dude B
    This is a heck of a spot to play
    after what happened at the EFS...
[14:20] Death Dude A
    Just goes to show how important
    this show's gonna be.
[14:23] Death Dude A
    Which means all we gotta do is support them!
[14:25] Death Dude B
    True enough!
[14:31] Crowd
    Idols?
[14:33] Crowd
    What the hell?
[14:34] Death Dude A

    Are these chicks for real?

    Come on, get on with it!
[14:42] Crowd
    What's their deal?
[14:43] Saki
    Hey, we're Franchouchou!
[14:47] Saki
    Uh, a little while back, we
    tried to do a show at the EFS
[14:51] Saki
    and, well, we couldn't let it end like that!
[14:54] Saki
    So, next time, we're gonna pull it off!
[14:56] Saki
    Today is gonna be our
    first step towards that.
[14:59] Saki
    We're gonna give you our best shot!
     Thanks for coming!
[15:11] Ai
    We've done a lot of shows this size before.
[15:15] Ai
    We'll pull this one off and get
    over what happened at the EFS!
[15:20] Sakura
    It'll be okay... It'll be okay.
[15:30] Xufu
    How long are you going to darken
    my bar with that sorry look?
[15:34] Kotaro
    Do you serve the customers
     verbal abuse here?
[15:37] Xufu
    My real customers don't sleep here
    because they're scared of going home.
[15:42] Xufu
    You said you were done, right? With this...
[15:45] Xufu
    Genkai Zombie Energy Park Project of yours.
[15:48] Kotaro
    It's called the Zombie Land Saga Project.
[15:51] Xufu
    Yeah, that.
[15:52] Xufu
    It was a crazy scheme in the
    first place... Zombies as idols?
[15:58] Xufu
    I'm sure your Saga-ettes
    will get over it, too.
[16:02] Xufu
    They'll look back on their undeaths
    and think of it as a fun memory.
[16:06] Kotaro
    The group name is "Franchouchou."
[16:07] Xufu
    They'll be able to go on and
    have normal lives as zombies.
[16:12] Xufu
    Well, technically they're not ali—
[16:13] Kotaro
    There's a hard deadline on this project!
[16:17] Kotaro
    After making the biggest
    screwup any idol group could
[16:20] Kotaro
    and getting stuck with massive debt...
[16:22] Kotaro
    Even you should know that
    there won't be enough time
[16:25] Kotaro
    to pull it off.
[16:27] Xufu
    Please.
[16:30] Xufu
    You've already demanded more than
    is reasonable of those girls,
[16:33] Xufu
    and they managed to pull it off.
[16:36] Xufu
    So, if you say it can't be done...
[16:40] Xufu
    Well, it probably can't, then.
[16:43] Xufu
    This whole thing started
    because of what you wanted.
[16:46] Xufu
    Why not let it end when you want?
[16:49] Xufu
    Go on and tell them,
     "I've got no faith in the Saga-ettes."
[16:54] Xufu
    "You Saga-ettes are all washed up."
[17:06] Kotaro
    It's not the Saga-ettes...
[17:10] Kotaro
    It's Franchouchou!
[17:21] Xufu
    Yeah, that.
[17:58] Ai
    This is bad. It's gonna have
    the opposite effect...
[18:01] Crowd
    Y'all done yet? Then get off the stage!
[18:03] Saki
    We've still got another song left!
[18:06] Crowd
    Sing it somewhere else, then!

    You gals done or what?
[18:12] Lily
    What should we do?
[18:13] Saki
    We're not backing off after coming this far!

    But... in this atmosphere...

    Damn it.

    No... after we all got on stage again...

[19:34] Kotaro
    What do you think you're doing?!
[19:36] Kotaro
    You're idols, so sing!
[19:39] Kotaro
    Be heard!
[19:40] Kotaro
    Let me hear the first cry as you're reborn!
[19:45] Sakura
    Kotaro-san...
[19:47] Kotaro
    Sing!
[19:52] Sakura
    Let's sing, everyone.
[19:55] Sakura
    Let's sing!
[19:56] Kotaro
    There goes the kick!
[19:58] Kotaro
    Music, start!
[20:33] [SONG] Franchouchou
    There's no turning back the clock,
    just facing what's happened
[20:36] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Take those past glories
    and just leave them be
[20:39] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Just hang on tight
[20:41] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Never give up again
[20:43] [SONG] Franchouchou
    If you wanna make sure
    your loss has meaning
[20:47] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Get on your feet
[20:48] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Shake yourself off
[20:48] [SONG] Franchouchou
    No matter how battered you are
[20:50] [SONG] Franchouchou
    After swallowing the pain
[20:52] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Could you stand up again?
[20:54] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Why worry about when to give up?
[20:58] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Do you really want to go out on a whimper?
[21:01] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Bet on a comeback
[21:03] [SONG] Franchouchou
    No matter how many times you fall
[21:04] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Take deferred and stockpiled dreams
[21:06] [SONG] Franchouchou
    And shout them out!
[21:15] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Even if it's a fight with no chance to win
[21:18] [SONG] Franchouchou
    That doesn't change the dream
    or how bad you want it!
[21:22] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Atone for
[21:23] [SONG] Franchouchou
    your surrender
[21:24] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Retract your
[21:25] [SONG] Franchouchou
    retreat and
[21:26] [SONG] Franchouchou
    plan for
[21:27] [SONG] Franchouchou
    the revolution
[21:28] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Rejoin and
[21:29] [SONG] Franchouchou
    start again
[21:30] [SONG] Franchouchou
    The disappointment
[21:30] [SONG] Franchouchou
    of failure,
[21:31] [SONG] Franchouchou
    the mistakes
[21:32] [SONG] Franchouchou
    and regrets,
[21:33] [SONG] Franchouchou
    can all be thrown into the fire
    that signals the new start!
[21:38] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Even if the whole world gives up on you,
    keep fighting as long as you breathe!
[21:45] [SONG] Franchouchou
    The will
[21:46] [SONG] Franchouchou
    and the passion
[21:47] [SONG] Franchouchou
    To return
[21:48] [SONG] Franchouchou
    and fight back
[21:49] [SONG] Franchouchou
    Are what you need to shine
    bright and blaze on!
[22:20] Death Metal Dudes
    Awesome!
[22:32] Ai
    That had to be the worst
    show I've ever been in.
[22:35] Junko
    Could you even really call it a concert?
[22:37] Saki
    Eh, close enough, right?
[22:40] Lily
    Not even.
[22:41] Yugiri
    Still, I wouldn't say it's far
    from what we're known for.
[22:44] Saki
    No doubt.
[22:47] Saki
    Sakura!
[22:49] Sakura
    S-Sorry! I wasn't listening!
[22:51] Saki
    Damn it, girl. You wanna die?
[23:10] Kotaro
    Good morning, everyone!
