[00:00] Sakura
    Last time on Zombie Land Saga...
[00:02] Sakura
    You can ask me about what kind of
    relationship idols and fans should have,
[00:04] Sakura
    but I sure as heck don't have a good answer!
[00:06] Sakura
    And Ai-chan and Junko-chan
    got into a huge fight over it!
[00:10] Sakura
    I wish they'd worry more about their own
    relationship than their relationship with fans!
[00:13] Sakura
    That was a joke! Just a Sakura joke!
[00:15] Sakura
    And wouldn't you know it?
[00:17] Sakura
    We got the news Franchouchou
    would be performing at Saga Rock!
[00:19] Sakura
    The best news ever at the
    worst possible time!
[00:21] Sakura
    I seriously have no idea what to do!
[00:24] Sakura
    Hawawagh! Or maybe even dwawawargh, y'know?!
[00:30] Saki
    We seriously gotta start practicing
    or we're gonna run out of time.
[00:33] Sakura
    But I don't think we should
    do it without Junko-chan...
[00:37] Saki
    So you're just gonna leave Ai alone?
[00:38] Saki
    She said she was gonna practice,
    even if it was by herself.
[00:42] Sakura
    I really don't know what to do.
[00:45] Saki
    Damn it... What do you think, shrimpy?
[00:48] Lily
    I think we should do the show,
     no matter what.
[00:51] Lily
    It'd be a huge waste if we let
    a chance like this pass us by.
[00:54] Lily
    Of course, I'd rather Junko-chan
    be with us, but...
[00:58] Saki
    How about you, Tae?
[01:02] Saki
    And you, Sis?
[01:05] Yugiri
    It's a good question...
[01:08] Yugiri
    I can't help but wonder if there's
    a way to get through to Junko-han.
SIGN    No Unauthorized Access
    
    Absolutely None
    
    No Contact Allowed
    
    Stay Out
[01:12] Saki
    Well, she's been like that
    for almost two weeks.
[01:23] Yugiri
    What a difficult girl...
[01:25] Saki
    Okay! Let's just drag her ass out!
[01:28] Sakura
    No, I think that'd just make it worse!
[01:30] Saki
    Okay! Forget it!
[01:31] Lily
    So which is it?
[01:34] Saki
    Damn it all! What are we gonna do?!
[01:34] Sakura
    But Lily-chan, if we do appear at
    Saga Rock, what about afterwards?
[01:40] Sakura
    Will we be going on without Junko-chan?
[01:43] Lily
    I don't want it to turn out that way, but...
[01:45] Lily
    Even if she hears that we didn't get
    to go on stage at Saga Rock,
[01:49] Lily
    I get the feeling Junko-chan
    won't ever come back to us.
[01:53] Sakura
    What do we do...?
[01:55] Yugiri
    You're more mature than you
    look at times, Lily-han.
[02:00] Sakura
    I think we should ask Kotaro-san!
[02:02] Saki
    Don't bother. He's totally useless.
[02:05] Sakura
    It's fine! Once he sees what's
    going on, I'm sure he'll—
[02:09] Kotaro
    Figure it out your own damn self,
     you dumbass zombie!
[02:14] Saki
    Told you.
SIGN    Episode 7 But It's Zombiemental SAGA
[02:23] Intro
    Even if we're dead, we want to
    make our dreams come true...
[02:25] Intro
    No, even if we're dead,
    we will make them come true!
[02:28] Intro
    Is that despair? Or is it hope?
[02:30] Intro
    We'll overcome a harsh fate, and even if
    we don't have a pulse, we'll press on!
[02:34] Intro
    Because that is our saga!
[03:57] Ai
    What's taken you so long?
[03:59] Sakura
    Sorry...
[04:00] Ai
    We need to work on the timing
    for our moves right away.
[04:02] Ai
    We need to pick up the pace
    if we're going to make it.
[04:04] Sakura
    O-Okay.
[04:07] Ai
    What?
[04:08] Sakura
    Maybe we should talk to her...
[04:10] Ai
    Would you get a grip?
[04:12] Ai
    We need every last minute to rehearse.
[04:15] Ai
    We're already zombies, which means
    there's no telling what might happen...
[04:18] Sakura
    But the new song's built around
    solos with you and Junko-chan.
[04:23] Ai
    I'll have to sing Junko's part.
[04:25] Sakura
    On your own?!
[04:26] Ai
    Let's just get started.
[04:28] Ai
    You gonna be okay, Ai?
[04:29] Ai
    What else can we do?!
[04:31] Ai
    She's the one who has to
    figure her own stuff out!
[04:34] Saki
    I was talking about you, girl.
[04:40] Ai
    I can't worry about anything else right now.
SIGN    Saga Rock!!
SIGN    Saga Rock!!
[05:25] Sakura
    Ai-chan! Are you okay?!
[05:26] Ai
    It's fine. These kinds of lessons
    were normal when I was alive.
[05:31] Sakura
    But...
[05:33] Ai
    Tomorrow's the show.
[05:34] Ai
    Let's work on our final preparations.
[05:53] Kotaro
    Kicky blammo!
[05:56] Kotaro
    Zombies are supposed to be on the other
    side of the barricades, dumbass!
[06:12] Kotaro
    Sorry. How are you feeling, physically?
[06:16] Junko
    Other than being dead, fine...
[06:19] Kotaro
    Don't you think it's time
    you got out of here?
[06:22] Junko
    I just don't understand idols anymore.
[06:25] Kotaro
    You were on the net in my room, right?
[06:27] Junko
    Net...?
[06:29] Kotaro
    As in the internet.
[06:31] Kotaro
    You used the computer, right?
[06:33] Kotaro
    I'm not mad.
[06:35] Kotaro
    It's been thirty years since you died,
[06:38] Kotaro
    and things have changed a lot.
[06:41] Junko
    I really was shocked.
[06:43] Kotaro
    There are things that have
    become more convenient,
[06:45] Kotaro
    but they have their share of downsides.
[06:48] Kotaro
    Everyone having a connected device has made
    it so that anyone can post information...
[06:53] Kotaro
    but that makes it harder
    to keep anything private.
[06:56] Kotaro
    That sometimes means
    the private lives of idols.
[06:59] Kotaro
    In the Showa period, stuff that would
    amount to the scandal of a lifetime
[07:03] Kotaro
    leaks onto the internet almost every day.
[07:08] Kotaro
    But in spite of the risk that
    kind of exposure brings,
[07:10] Kotaro
    there are still idols who are at work.
[07:14] Kotaro
    And there's one other thing...
[07:16] Kotaro
    The biggest change in regard to how idols
    operate is the closeness with their fans.
[07:21] Kotaro
    The concept of "an idol you can see
    at any time" changed the industry,
[07:26] Kotaro
    and the physical distance
    between both sides has shrunk.
[07:29] Kotaro
    Which you saw at the photo session.
[07:32] Kotaro
    But... not everything is different.
[07:36] Kotaro
    Wanting to help fans dream.
[07:38] Kotaro
    Wanting to make them
    smile with dance and song.
[07:40] Kotaro
    The core nature of being an idol
    hasn't changed since the old days.
[07:43] Kotaro
    If you think the people who try to
    become idols now are any less noble,
[07:49] Kotaro
    then you're wrong.
[07:50] Kotaro
    Times have changed and, as a result,
    the type of idol people seek has changed.
[07:55] Junko
    I understand things are different now.
[07:58] Junko
    But I just... can't do it.
[08:02] Kotaro
    Then don't.
[08:05] Kotaro
    If you don't want to do photo sessions,
    turn them down.
[08:08] Kotaro
    There's no need to force
    yourself to conform.
[08:10] Junko
    But Ai-san said...
[08:11] Kotaro
    Just tell her, "That's my character."
[08:14] Junko
    Character?
[08:15] Kotaro
    Right.
[08:16] Kotaro
    There are things that make Ai herself,
    and things that make you different.
[08:20] Kotaro
    You girls are zombies, not robots.
[08:23] Kotaro
    Show the members of your group
    and the fans what you can do
[08:28] Kotaro
    while adhering to the style of
    an idol from the Showa period.
[08:38] Kotaro
    That said, it'd be difficult to do
    that on your own at the moment.
[08:42] Kotaro
    And, as a zombie, there's not much
    you can count on for support.
[08:46] Kotaro
    In order to make up for
    how extreme your quirks are,
[08:48] Kotaro
    you'll need your zombie comrades.
[08:53] Kotaro
    Remember this...
[08:54] Kotaro
    Franchouchou exists to
    support each other's wishes,
[08:57] Kotaro
    in spite of the different times they're from.
[09:00] Kotaro
    If you open up to them, they will help you.
[09:04] Kotaro
    When that happens, think about
    what you can do to repay them.
[09:10] Kotaro
    Tomorrow's forecast is clear in the
    morning with afternoon clouds
[09:13] Kotaro
    and potential thunderstorms.
[09:16] Kotaro
    There'll be a storm at Saga Rock.
[09:18] Kotaro
    Ai Mizuno was killed by a lightning strike
    while performing on an outdoor stage.
[09:23] Kotaro
    You're not the only one
    who's fighting against nerves!
[09:28] Kotaro
    If you're an idol, you belong on stage,
     Junko Konno!
[09:32] Kotaro
    When you've found your nerve, open that box.
[09:37] Kotaro
    And fix the door.
[10:10] Ai
    I'm seeing things...
[10:11] Saki
    Get some rest.
[10:14] Ai
    My body...
[10:15] Ai
    I can't stop it from reacting
[10:18] Ai
    because of my memories of what happened.
[10:20] Saki
    You're pushing yourself too hard.
[10:23] Ai
    I can't let this beat me.
[10:25] Ai
    When we were on stage that day...
[10:27] Ai
    Our CD had finally become
    a bestseller in Japan.
[10:31] Ai
    It felt like we were just
    really getting started...
[10:35] Ai
    We have to work hard to get
    as many fans as possible
[10:39] Ai
    so I can get back to where I was.
[10:52] (Flashback) Junko
    I'm sorry.
[10:53] (Flashback) Junko
    I was too slow.
[10:54] (Flashback) Ai
    It's okay. I'll just match up with you.

[11:55] Junko
    Wait, please!
[11:56] Junko
    I want to go with—
[12:07] Sakura
    Huh? Why do I feel déjà vu?
[12:12] Sakura
    Junko-chan!
[12:13] Kotaro
    Don't help her!
[12:13] Sakura
    Why not?!
[12:15] Kotaro
    On your feet, Junko!
[12:17] Kotaro
    You're not the type of girl who would
    let something like this stop you!
[12:19] Saki
    You hit her with a freaking van!
[12:23] Junko
    I'm going, too...
[12:26] Junko
    because... I'm an idol!
[12:32] Junko
    I'm the Showa idol, Junko Konno!
