    We've been working with the power
    companies and communications services,
SIGN    Saga Prefectural Office Special Task Force HQ
[00:05] Staff
    and they've gotten cellular service and
    web access back up in certain areas.
[00:09] governor
    How long does it look like it'll
    take for the entire prefecture?
[00:11] Staff
    There's still no real way to tell...
[00:13] Staff
    Since transportation is so limited,
    it puts a damper on repairs.
[00:18] governor
    Where are we at in terms
    of estimating the damage?
[00:19] Staff
    The areas that have
    reestablished communications
[00:22] Staff
    have been reporting their casualties
    and evacuation status,
[00:24] Staff
    along with damage to residential
    areas and transport infrastructure.
[00:28] governor
    We need an accurate assessment
    as quickly as possible.
[00:30] Itou 2
    There's been flooding
    throughout the prefecture,
[00:33] Itou 2
    but it looks like it's been most severe in
    the north and the Sajiro and Sanshin areas.
[00:36] Itou 2
    The water itself is gradually
    starting to recede, but...
[00:39] Itou 2
    It's still too early to
    make any real estimations.
[00:41] governor
    Watch for any additional problems
    the initial damage might cause.
[00:43] Itou 2
    I'll coordinate with the JSDF, fire services,
[00:45] Itou 2
    and the Social Welfare Council to try
    to deal with things as they develop.
[00:48] governor
    Please do.
[00:51] Kotaro
    Governor! I need to speak with you! Please!
[00:51] Guard
    Stop that!
[00:53] Kotaro
    You have to put a rush on getting the
    infrastructure around the Tosu area back up!
[00:56] Kotaro
    Isn't Tosu a critical intersection
    for land-based transport in Kyushu?!
[00:59] Itou 2
    We should move you to a
    different room to be safe.
[01:00] Kotaro
    Getting transportation back up means
    everything else will be that much faster!
[01:04] Itou 2
    We're fully aware of that.
[01:06] Itou 2
    This isn't the kind of thing we
    need a civilian perspective on.
[01:08] Kotaro
    I'm asking you to do this
    for the sake of Saga's future!
[01:11] Itou 2
    Get him out of here, now.
[01:12] Kotaro
    Please, let Franchouchou perform!
[01:16] Itou 2
    Governor?
[01:17] Kotaro
    I swear, this concert will help Saga!
[01:20] Kotaro
    It's for the sake of Saga!
    Saga will be revived!
[01:22] Kotaro
    You have to fix the Tosu area so people
    can make it to the Franchouchou show!
[01:30] Kotaro
    I'm begging you!
[01:31] Itou 2
    Okay, that's enough from—
[01:33] Kotaro
    I'm not talking to you!
[01:39] Kotaro
    What Saga needs right now is reassurance,
    for the heart of every single resident.
[01:45] Kotaro
    We need something to unify us so
    we can all tackle this disaster together...
[01:49] Kotaro
    Franchouchou can do that.
[01:52] Kotaro
    Governor, please. Make the call.

    It's Ookoba. I guess I
    finally got through...
[02:12] Kotaro
    How have things gone on your end?
[02:14] Ookoba
    Is that seriously the first
    thing you're gonna ask?
[02:16] Ookoba
    Do you realize the hoops I had to jump
    through to score a chopper ride up here?
[02:24] Ookoba
    It's gonna be rough... Yeah, a charity
    concert sounds nice and all,
[02:28] Ookoba
    but when there are no guarantees that
    the show will actually come together,
[02:33] Ookoba
    it's not easy to convince
    people to get on board.
[02:34] Kotaro
    I believe you have what it takes.
[02:36] Ookoba
    Don't be so sure! I haven't run in
    this neck of the woods in a decade.
[02:40] Kotaro
    I know you can do it.
[02:42] Ookoba
    For the record, you haven't
    exactly earned my trust yet.
[02:48] Ookoba
    I just...
[02:54] Ookoba
    I intend to do what I can
[02:56] Ookoba
    and let god sort out the rest.
[02:58] Kotaro
    I'm not leaving a damn thing up to god.

    Not after all this time.

    It's a good kind of tension, though.

    We've all been really focused
    these last few days.
[03:32] Ai
    Maybe more than ever before.
[03:34] Junko
    I noticed that, as well!

[04:19] Junko
    I hope people will be able to make it.
[04:22] Saki
    Damn it, if it weren't for this whole mess,
    we'd be passing out fliers
[04:27] Saki
    and talking up the show on the radio...
[04:30] Saki
    Huh.
[04:31] Saki
    What day is it today?
[04:33] Sakura
    The day? Uh...
[04:35] Junko
    Come to think of it, we've been paying more
    attention to the dates than what day it is.
[04:40] Sakura
    I think it's Friday, maybe?

    Dude! That's the day we're on air!

    Crap, crap, crap, I've gotta get ready fast!

    That's why I wanna do it!
[04:52] Saki
    'Sides, we already missed a session!
[04:54] Ai
    No one can blame you for that.
    It was a literal disaster situation.

    That's what I'd expect from a

[06:02] Saki
    Well, to all the folks in Saga...
[06:06] Saki
    Everybody, I think it's pretty rough
    out there for you all right now.
[06:11] Saki
    And... I dunno how you're
    hearing me right now,
[06:16] Saki
    but I bet you've all got your worries,
    or might be feeling lonely...
[06:20] Saki
    Hell, you might just be pissed off
    about everything that's happened.
[06:26] Saki
    But... I dunno how to put this...
[06:29] Saki
    Right now, a lot of people are
    doing everything they can,
[06:32] Saki
    in all sorts of different ways, to help.
[06:35] Saki
    It was the same way for
    the shelter we stayed at.
[06:38] Saki
    And that's how you sorta get involved...
    and connect to people, I guess.
[06:43] Saki
    I dunno if I'm getting my point across,
[06:46] Saki
    but I think that kinda thing
    is a really big deal.
[06:51] Saki
    So, all of us in Franchouchou have thought
    about what we can do to help...
[06:57] Saki
    All seven of us have
    talked this over, and...
[07:00] Saki
    In the end, we wanna connect to
    you all by singing and dancing.
[07:05] Saki
    We want to cheer you on!
[07:08] Saki
    That's why Franchouchou is going
    to be putting on a concert.
[07:12] Saki
    March 8th. At the Ekimae Fudosan Stadium!
[07:17] Saki
    A year ago, we seriously
    blew it at that same venue.
[07:22] Saki
    We drew a tiny crowd... panicked...
[07:24] Saki
    It was a real mess.
[07:27] Saki
    And, just like last time...
[07:30] Saki
    Nah, I think it's gonna be even
    harder to pull off than last time.
[07:35] Saki
    But... all the same, we're going
    to put on the best show ever!
[07:40] Saki
    I know there are people who are gonna think
    that's crazy, with everything going on...
[07:44] Saki
    But if we... If by singing, we can...
[07:49] Saki
    I dunno if we'll really be able to
    help people feel better, but...
[07:53] Saki
    We're gonna be on stage, hoping we can
    make you smile, even just a little!

    Because that's what being idols means to us!

[21:28] Junko
    Even this EFS show is nothing
    more than a milestone.
[21:32] Yugiri
    There's still a great deal
    more for us to do, right?
[21:35] Lily
    And I know we can shine even brighter!
[21:38] Saki
    After all, Franchouchou is eternal
    and unstoppable, right?
[21:43] Sakura
    We're the idol zombies who will always keep
    fighting, no matter when, no matter where!
[22:02] Sakura
    Kotaro-san?
[22:03] Ai
    What? Why are you apologizing?
[22:06] Junko
    He's convulsing!
    Should we call an ambulance?
[22:09] Saki
    Wait, maybe he's doing that mudskipper—
[22:11] Kotaro
    I'm crying, okay?!
[22:13] Kotaro
    I'm crying!
[22:15] Kotaro
    I'm a grown-ass man and I'm crying!
[22:23] Kotaro
    What's with you, huh?!
[22:25] Kotaro
    Where do a bunch of wimpy zombies get
    off trying to sound so confident?!
[22:30] Kotaro
    You think those half-rotten throats
    should be spouting nonsense at me?!
[22:35] Kotaro
    Just so you know,
    Saga's barely even a little saved!

    Got it?! So go and hit
    the crowd with your soul!

    It's not like anything's gonna change
[23:17] [SONG] FCC
    But it's not like we're gonna give up
[23:20] [SONG] FCC
    It must be because there's
    still some hope left
[23:26] [SONG] FCC
    I may not have the answers
    that I wanted the most
[23:31] [SONG] FCC
    Travelers! Looks like our
    smiles are peeking through!
[23:38] [SONG] FCC
    You can wrap them in a blanket
[23:42] [SONG] FCC
    But it seems our dreams will just spill out
[23:49] [SONG] FCC
    Why not keep dreaming even
    after springing awake?
[23:54] [SONG] FCC
    Let's set out anew and say good morning!
[24:00] [SONG] FCC
    Maybe my one small step
    is enough to reach someone
[24:06] [SONG] FCC
    If that's the kind of future we can have...
[24:12] [SONG] FCC
    Then that's where I am headed now,
    even with dark clouds in the way
[24:17] [SONG] FCC
    We're all in the same boat anyway,
    so let's head there together
[24:27] [SONG] FCC
    Let's make it happen!
[24:49] [SONG] FCC
    Embracing the world around
    me that's so full of wishes
[24:55] [SONG] FCC
    And heading straight into the future
[25:03] [SONG] FCC
    Maybe my one small step
    is enough to reach someone
[25:09] [SONG] FCC
    If that's the kind of future we can have...
[25:15] [SONG] FCC
    Then that's where I am headed now,

    We're all in the same boat anyway,
