**[00:00] Sakura**
Previously on *Zombie Land Saga*...
**[00:02] Sakura**
After messing up our first paid job, we were
lucky enough to get another big chance!
**[00:05] Sakura**
We appeared in a commercial for Drive-In
Tori to earn some funds and some notoriety,
**[00:09] Sakura**
and worked our tail feathers
off to become chickens!
**[00:11] Sakura**
And then, in pursuit of more fame,
**[00:14] Sakura**
we participated in the Gatalympics, and worked
hard to memorize exactly what mud tastes like!
**[00:17] Sakura**
I bet chicken and mud are total
must-haves for being an idol!
**[00:20] Sakura**
People are bound to have
heard of Franchouchou now!
**[00:23] Sakura**
Wait, hold on... is this
seriously good enough?
**[00:25] Sakura**
It is, right? We're gonna be fine, right?!

There's nothing here except

**[00:42] Okoba**
I kind of like it.
**[00:44] Okoba**
Feels like they're not letting
the times dictate their style.
**[00:46] Inubashi**
Come on, Okoba-san, you're the one
who wanted to look into them.
**[00:50] Inubashi**
It's been a month and a half
and we haven't been able to dig up anything!
**[00:53] Inubashi**
Damn it...
**[00:54] Inubashi**
Who the hell are these girls?

**[01:10] Ai**
Stop!
**[01:14] Ai**
We're still going a little
too slow at this part.
**[01:16] Junko**
I'm sorry...
**[01:18] Ai**
It's okay. I'll just match up with you.
**[01:23] (Flashback) Kotaro**
The new song has a duet with Ai
and Junko as the highlight.
**[01:27] (Flashback) Kotaro**
You two are out in front this time.
**[01:29] Junko**
I feel bad.
**[01:31] Junko**
Considering I'm supposed
to be the lead vocals...
**[01:34] Ai**
Well, the tempo's faster than usual.
**[01:36] Ai**
We'll just have to work on making sure we're
perfect for the most crucial parts.
**[01:40] Ai**
I'm going to review the
overall flow of the performance,
**[01:43] Ai**
so the rest of you can take a break.
**[02:04] Sakura**
*Oh... It happened again.*

**[02:18] Intro**
Even if we're dead, we want to
make our dreams come true...
**[02:20] Intro**
No, even if we're dead, we
will make them come true!
**[02:23] Intro**
Is that despair? Or is it hope?
**[02:25] Intro**
We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if
we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!
**[02:29] Intro**
Because that is our saga!
**[03:55] Kotaro**
Hey...
**[03:57] Kotaro**
We're out of shampoo.
**[04:03] Yugiri**
What's this box, then?
**[04:05] Lily**
It's called a computer.
**[04:07] Lily**
We're gonna look up what kinda
idols are big right now.
**[04:12] Yugiri**
They come up with the wildest things...
**[04:15] Ai**
Hey! You're gonna break it!
**[04:17] Yugiri**
Oh, terribly sorry.
**[04:19] Sakura**
I hope Kotaro-san doesn't catch us...
**[04:23] Ai**
It's okay.
**[04:24] Ai**
We should have about twenty minutes.
**[04:27] Sakura**
Really?
**[04:29] Sakura**
This is my third time
doing this, after all.
**[04:32] Lily**
Hey, do you think we've got a homepage?
**[04:35] Ai**
We do, and I am never
looking at it again.
**[04:38] Lily**
Aw, why not?
**[04:40] Ai**
Because it's so lame you'll want to die.
**[04:42] Ai**
Even if we're zombies already.

Anyway, after looking around a bit,
**[04:54] Ai**
I'm surprised by how different
things are from when I was alive.
**[04:59] Ai**
There are a bunch of groups that were really
popular, and seemed like they would last,

**[05:04] Junko**
Idols as a concept go through
their booms and busts, after all.
**[05:06] Sakura**
Wait... does that mean that right now...
**[05:09] Ai**
Even if that's the case,
we still have to try our best.
**[05:13] Ai**
Right?
**[05:14] Sakura**
Y-You're right.
**[05:16] Ai**
I guess we can check out
idol events in Saga.

**[05:21] Junko**
This is so convenient...
**[05:24] Sakura**
There're so many!
**[05:26] Ai**
Let's start by looking into
anything that seems interesting.
**[05:29] Saki**
What's "Saga Rock"?!
**[05:31] Saki**
Sounds cool!
**[05:32] Sakura**
Do you like rock, Saki-chan?
**[05:34] Saki**
Hell yeah!
**[05:35] Saki**
Everyone knows how Mentai Rock
is a big deal in Kyushu!
**[05:38] Sakura**
What's that?
**[05:39] Saki**
You wanna die?
**[05:41] Sakura**
You're really aggressive...
**[05:44] Ai**
The Saga Rock Festival is the largest
outdoor rock event in Kyushu.
**[05:48] Saki**
Seriously?! We gotta get in on that!
**[05:51] Ai**
Well, there's no problem with getting
onto a bigger stage, but...
**[05:55] Sakura**
It must be amazing to be on stage
with so many people in the audience.
**[06:00] Lily**
I'm totally used to it thanks
to press presentations!
**[06:03] Sakura**
Let's do a good job!
**[06:05] Sakura**
I bet if we practice a lot,
we'll all make it up there some day!
**[06:08] Junko**
It's not that easy.
**[06:10] Junko**
Performing a concert at a venue of this size
requires a comparable amount of work.
**[06:17] Sakura**
Y-Yeah.
**[06:19] Junko**
It's better to take one diligent step at
a time instead of fixating on big dreams.
**[06:24] Sakura**
Sorry...
**[06:26] Ai**
I get what you mean, but our time
frame is much shorter what others had.
**[06:31] Ai**
The main thing is to find a way
to get your name out there...
***SIGN*** I mean, the group I used to be in was performing
**[06:37] Ai**
in front of audiences in the tens of thousands
**[06:39] Ai**
a year after our debut.
**[06:41] Junko**
Only a year?!
**[06:42] Junko**
And you were able to impress
an audience that big?
**[06:47] Ai**
If you're trying to be perfect from the
get-go, you won't be able to manage anything.
**[06:50] Ai**
If anything, a lot of fans like
seeing groups improve over time,
**[06:54] Ai**
and contribute to that growth.
**[06:56] Junko**
That's...
**[06:57] Ai**
Of course, that doesn't mean we
don't try our hardest every time.

**[07:10] Sakura**
This one! Iron Frill!
**[07:12] Sakura**
They're going to be at Saga Rock!

Ah, my fair ladies...
**[07:36] Kotaro**
of Franchouchou...
**[07:42] Kotaro**
Oh, good morning!
**[07:50] Kotaro**
You are before... the idol magistra—
**[07:53] Saki**
Enough already! Get on with it!
**[07:56] Kotaro**
Okay then, today I have some
great news for you all.
**[08:01] Kotaro**
It turns out that Franchouchou...
**[08:05] Kotaro**
has fans!
**[08:08] Kotaro**
The Drive-In Tori commercial and
Gatalympics footage have been uploaded online,
**[08:13] Kotaro**
and there's just a little
bit of chat about you all!
**[08:16] Sakura**
There is?
**[08:17] Saki**
I told you! I told you guys Drive
Tori was freaking awesome!
**[08:21] Ai**
Well, good or bad, at least
we've got some attention now.
**[08:24] Ai**
What're you talking about?
**[08:27] Ai**
This is all because you're gems
that sparkle with polish.
**[08:31] Ai**
Very nicely done...
**[08:32] Ai**
Drive-In Tori! Like that?
**[08:35] Sakura**
Oh, that's not the right pose.
**[08:38] Sakura**
It's like this.
**[08:39] Sakura**
Tori!
**[08:41] Kotaro**
Oh, I get it.
**[08:43] Kotaro**
Tori!
**[08:45] Sakura**
No, like, Tori!
**[08:48] Kotaro**
Oh, okay!
**[08:50] Kotaro**
Tori!
**[08:51] Sakura**
No, see, I just showed you...
**[08:52] Kotaro**
It doesn't freaking matter!
**[08:54] Kotaro**
Why exactly do I have to master your dance?!
**[08:58] Kotaro**
Don't look down your pointy
nose at me just because
**[09:00] Kotaro**
you've got a little buzz,
you Pinocchio-ass zombie!
**[09:01] Sakura**
Pinocchio...
**[09:03] Kotaro**
Sit your pointy nose down!
**[09:06] Kotaro**
That being the case,
**[09:08] Kotaro**
I want you all to start interacting
with your fans as soon as possible.
**[09:13] Saki**
Right away again, huh?
**[09:15] Kotaro**
I announced it on the homepage already!
**[09:17] Junko**
Uh, when you say interacting...
**[09:20] Kotaro**
Gotta start with photo ops, I figure.
**[09:23] Junko**
Minamoto-san, what exactly does he mean?
**[09:27] Skaura**
Well, there are probably gonna be people
with instant cameras, not digital.
**[09:33] Junko**
Digital...?
**[09:34] Sakura**
How do I describe it...
**[09:36] Sakura**
They let you look at the
pictures right away.
**[09:39] Junko**
Oh, like Polaroids?
**[09:42] Junko**
So we're going to be taking
glamour shots with Polaroids...
**[09:47] Sakura**
It's not exactly that formal...
**[09:49] Ai**
That's basically it, though.
**[09:51] Sakura**
It is?!
**[09:53] Ai**
Usually there's a mini concert
and merchandise sales first.
**[09:58] Sakura**
Merchandise...
***SIGN*** Franchouchou
**[10:00] Sakura**
It'd be nice if we sold a
bunch of T-shirts, but...
**[10:04] Lily**
You okay, Yugirin?
**[10:06] Lily**
Are you following all this?
**[10:07] Yugiri**
Well, getting confused by what's
going on won't help things,
**[10:12] Yugiri**
so I've decided to just accept
things as they come.
**[10:14] Kotaro**
I've got an even bigger
project in the works!
**[10:18] Kotaro**
So you all better make this
photo op a good one!

***SIGN*** Franchouchou
**[11:24] Kotaro**

**[11:44] Signs**
First will be the pair of

**[11:47] Signs**
and then Numbers 2 and 3.
**[11:50] Junko**
What... is this?
**[11:53] Ai**
You take pictures with people
who line up for you.
**[12:00] Saki**
Hey there.
**[12:01] Ai**
Thank you.
**[12:03] Lily**
You ready?!
**[12:10] Kotaro**
Here we go, okay!
**[12:15] Ai**
*What... was that?*
**[12:17] Kotaro**
Next is going to be the trio of
Number 4, Number 5, and Number 6!
**[12:21] Kotaro**
For Number 5, we'll be taking them in front
of this gold folding screen.
**[12:22] Crowd**
Number 4, it's your turn!
**[12:25] Junko**
I can't...
**[12:27] Junko**
I can't do this...
**[12:29] Sakura**
Junko-chan?
**[12:30] Ai**
What are you saying? Come on.
**[12:32] Junko**
No!
**[12:34] Ai**
You've got the most people in
your line! Don't you see that?
**[12:38] Junko**
Being an idol is about dazzling
people from up on a stage!
**[12:41] Junko**
How is this anything like that?!
**[12:45] Inbubashi**
What?
**[12:47] ---**
What's going on?
**[12:48] ---**
What's up?
**[12:53] Kotaro**
What the hell was that?!
**[12:56] Kotaro**
I am so disappointed in you all!
**[12:58] Kotaro**
Y'know how disappointed I am?
**[13:01] Kotaro**
If I had to give a metaphor, it's like...
**[13:03] Kotaro**
Y'know!
**[13:07] Kotaro**
You dumbasses!
**[13:11] Kotaro**
Ugh!
**[13:14] Ai**
You understood what you did, right, Junko?
**[13:18] Ai**
Running out on a job
doesn't just affect you.
**[13:21] Junko**
That's part of the job?
**[13:24] Ai**
A big part of it.
**[13:25] Junko**
But it was so brazen.
**[13:27] Junko**
I don't want to do it.
**[13:29] Ai**
Listen.
**[13:30] Ai**
We need people to learn who we are,
and then feel like we're within reach.
**[13:36] Junko**
That's the thing!
**[13:38] Junko**
And when you bragged about being
so successful after only one year,
**[13:41] Junko**
do people really think they can just
placate the fans instead of paying their dues?
**[13:46] Ai**
When did I ever say that?
Are you trying to start something?
**[13:49] Saki**
Leave it at that.
**[13:51] Sakura**
Ai-chan, Junko-chan...
**[13:53] Junko**
I'm just saying we need to think about
what our relationship with our fans is.
**[13:56] Ai**
You're the one who doesn't seem to
understand what that relationship is.
**[13:59] Sakura**
What do we do?! What do we do?!
**[14:00] Junko**
We might both talk about
"being supported by fans," Mizuno-san,
**[14:04] Junko**
but I think we mean something
totally different!
**[14:06] Junko**
An idol shouldn't be dependent
on the good will of fans!
**[14:09] Ai**
That sort of above-it-all
pride is too old-fashioned!
**[14:12] Junko**
You're not exactly current
yourself, you know!
**[14:16] Lily**
Please stop!
**[14:22] Ai**
If we're going to be
serious about being idols,
**[14:25] Ai**
then thinking like that
is going to be a problem.
**[14:35] Saki**
Don't you think that's going overboard?
**[14:39] Saki**
Hey! Ai!
**[14:42] Saki**
Damn it...

**[15:26] Saki**
You two oughta just bury the
hatchet and get over this.
**[15:30] Saki**
Let's just say both sides were wrong.
**[15:32] Lily**
I think so, too.
**[15:34] Ai**
I don't see how any of
what I said was wrong.
**[15:38] Yugiri**
There are plenty of fights that start
because both sides have a good point.
**[15:43] Ai**
I thought you were all serious
about becoming idols.
**[15:47] Lily**
It's because we are that we
want you two to get along!
**[15:49] Ai**
You can't get by as idols just
by playing friends all the time!
**[15:52] Ai**
You were in show business, too.
Don't you realize that?!
**[15:56] Saki**
Get out of shrimpy's face!
**[16:00] Saki**
Damn it, get back here!
**[16:02] Yugiri**
I wouldn't worry.
**[16:04] Yugiri**
Things will settle down soon enough.
**[16:06] Yugiri**
Won't they, Leader?
**[16:09] Saki**
Damn it, what a pain in the ass!

**[16:39] Sakura**
Leave it to me!
**[16:41] Junko**
Minamoto-san?
**[16:51] Sakura**
You're from a generation
earlier than me, huh?
**[16:55] Junko**
I'd say maybe two.
**[16:57] Junko**
I should really be an old lady by now.
**[17:00] Sakura**
I was just thinking about how I never really
asked about what kind of idol you were.
**[17:06] Junko**
In my time, there was no
personal interaction with fans.
**[17:12] Junko**
Maybe meet and greets at the most, but...
**[17:15] Junko**
Whether it was the stage and the seats,
**[17:18] Junko**
or on the tube and in front of the tea
table, there was a clear boundary.
**[17:22] Sakura**
Wait, the tea table and the tube?
**[17:25] Sakura**
What tube?
**[17:26] Junko**
It's an idol's job to give people dreams.
**[17:29] Junko**
I can't imagine giving the fans a
chance to see any imperfections.
**[17:34] Junko**
At least, that's how it was
for the idols I knew...
**[17:39] Junko**
And much like how I once looked up to them,
**[17:42] Junko**
I wanted to be someone that
others could look up to...
**[17:46] Junko**
That was my motivation for
working so hard, day after day.
**[17:50] Junko**
I was finally starting to feel like
I had accomplished that myself.
**[17:53] Junko**
I imagined a future where
I would continue to do so.
**[17:57] Junko**
Then, when we were headed to
Saga for my first tour in Kyushu...
**[18:09] Junko**
And that was that.
**[18:10] Sakura**
Junko-chan...
**[18:12] Junko**
Not just anyone can be an idol.
**[18:15] Junko**
Much less a zombie...
**[18:18] Junko**
And if my approach is in the way...
**[18:23] Junko**
Minamoto-san...
**[18:24] Junko**
I don't think I can stay in Franchouchou.
**[18:46] Saki**
Ai!
**[18:55] Saki**
Ai?
**[18:56] Saki**
Ai! What's up?!
**[18:57] Saki**
Hey!
**[19:04] Saki**
Well, this is messed up...
**[19:08] Saki**
You've got a hell of a look on your face.
**[19:10] Saki**
I guess I do, too, though.
**[19:12] Saki**
If I'm being real, I don't get any
of this idol or fan stuff, y'know?
**[19:17] Saki**
But when you do anything,
it's all about guts.
**[19:19] Saki**
And then comes your crew.
**[19:20] Saki**
That's all you've really got...
**[19:25] Saki**
Kinda surprised. You being
scared of lightning...
**[19:28] Ai**
It's how I died.
**[19:59] Saki**
Holy crap, girl...
**[20:01] Saki**
That's actually legendary.
**[20:03] Ai**
That's really not the
kind of legend I wanted.

I don't care if I'm a zombie, I will
get up on stage again, and then...
**[20:21] Saki**
You were actually pretty fired up, huh?
**[20:37] Sakura**
Saki-chan.
**[20:39] Saki**
Not sleeping?
**[20:41] Sakura**
It was kind of hard to...
**[20:43] Saki**
Those girls...
**[20:45] Saki**
if this was my old gang, I'd line
them both up and kick their asses.
**[20:48] Saki**
Like, "You're dead!" Y'know?
**[20:49] Sakrua**
Well, don't do that.
**[20:52] Saki**
I wasn't gonna.
**[20:53] Saki**
But if they're still at it,
we're not gonna get far...
**[20:59] Saki**
Gotta do something, and soon.
**[21:02] Sakura**
Yeah.
**[21:08] Kotaro**
Good morning!
**[21:12] Kotaro**
Well, today, I've got
more good news for you!
**[21:16] Kotaro**
It turns out that Franchouchou...
**[21:19] Kotaro**
Is going to be on the newcomer
lineup for this year's Saga Rock!
**[21:26] Kotaro**
Yes, I am incredible!
**[21:29] Sakura**
Saga Rock?
**[21:30] Saki**
You gotta be kidding me...
**[21:32] Kotaro**
Listen up, ladies! You're never going
to get another chance like this!
**[21:35] Kotaro**
You're going to have to
nail it, no matter what!
**[21:38] Kotaro**
Saga will be at the center
of the world on this day,
**[21:40] Kotaro**
and you all will need to stand
as the center of Saga!
**[21:43] Kotaro**
Franchouchou will be performing
onstage outdoors for the first time,
**[21:46] Kotaro**
and you will shake the Earth with your song!
