| 8 | Here's the demo track and dance DVD for our new song. | |
| 9 | Producer-san gave me your part to hand over. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | Thank you, Shiho. Hope we work well together during this. | |
| 12 | This new song... | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | If it goes well, we'll perform it at the fest, apparently. | |
| 15 | At that large stage. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | I'm certain that I'll pass the audition, so I'll just say this one thing: | |
| 18 | Come at me with all you've got. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | ||
| 21 | --- | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Shizuka? | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | It's time for children to sleep, right? Turn off the air conditioner and go to bed. | |
| 26 | Understood, mother. | |
| 27 | - | Okay, mother. |
| 27 | + | |
| 28 | Side Note: Do you have any Valentine's Day memories? | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | --- | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | "Come at me with all you've got." | |
| 33 | Of course. | |
| 34 | I want to be in the fest just as much. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | I'm...going to be a top idol, after all! | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | Side Note: Mirai - Me and my friends in class bring and exchange sweets! Me? I specialize in eating them (music note) | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | --- | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | Good morning, Shizuka-chan! | |
| 43 | Mirai, good morning. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | Hey, look at this! These are my signatures? | |
| 46 | Which one do you think is good? | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | Let's see... | |
| 49 | I think it's the heart one. But the music note one matches with yours, and that's pretty good, too! | |
| 50 | - | Ah, sorry, Mirai. |
| 50 | + | |
| 51 | And you know what? I'm going to be on a radio show with Arisa-chan, and... | |
| 52 | (Listen to this!) | |
| 53 | Oh. Sorry, Mirai. | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | Side Note: Shizuka - Bringing in sweets is against the rules, so... They do bag checks pretty often on that day, so it's pretty bothersome. | |
| 56 | Tsubasa - I gave Miki-senpai some chocolate...oh! Maybe I'll give Juliano some this year, too (music note) | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | --- | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | I have to go do unit training now. | |
| 61 | Huh? But you just came back? | |
| 62 | Yeah, but I'll call you tonight. | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | (Do your best!) | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | Tsubasa! Good m-... | |
| 67 | (Look at this!) | |
| 68 | - | Tsubasaa! |
| 68 | + | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | Help me! | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | Side Note: Julia - Ah...for some reason last year, I got a lot of chocolate from the girls in my class. | |
| 73 | Shiho - I give something to my little brother every year. He's still little, so it's a normal sweet thing. ...Really, that's it. | |
| 74 | ||
| 75 | --- | |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | TSUBASAAA! | |
| 78 | ||
| 79 | Alright, time for unit training. | |
| 80 | Aww, don't wanna, it's tough~ Juliano, you meanie~ | |
| 81 | ||
| 82 | My stomach hurts~ | |
| 83 | (Can't I?) | |
| 84 | Liar! | |
| 85 | ||
| 86 | Your stomach...? | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | [Dark Sailor Intensifies] | |
| 89 | ||
| 90 | --- | |
| 91 | ||
| 92 | Understood, Tsubasa-chan! Let's go to the hospital! It would be bad if it were some odd sickness! | |
| 93 | T-the hospital!? | |
| 94 | Don't worry! I'll attend to you for everything even at home! | |
| 95 | (Would it be over if I stayed over!?) | |
| 96 | It's no problem if you double...no, triple your practice after you get better to make up for time resting! | |
| 97 | Three times!? | |
| 98 | ||
| 99 | Ah, I think I'm better now. | |
| 100 | (Not good) | |
| 101 | Really!? | |
| 102 | That's good to know, Tsubasa-chan! | |
| 103 | ||
| 104 | Then let's go to unit training! We were delayed by an hour, so let's extend it by two hours! | |
| 105 | (Sayo's amazing) | |
| 106 | Tsubasa lost...! | |
| 107 | ||
| 108 | (I'll buy you some ice cream afterwards, so let's do our best? Okay? | |
| 109 | ||
| 110 | Ah! I was so overwhelmed that I forgot to greet them! | |
| 111 | Me too... | |
| 112 | ||
| 113 | --- | |
| 114 | ||
| 115 | Tsubasa and Shizuka seem to be busy with their unit lessons, it's an important audition, after all. | |
| 116 | ||
| 117 | And I'm... | |
| 118 | ||
| 119 | Looking at everyone like this, I feel a bit envious. | |
| 120 | Becoming everyone's strength is what I believe to be the true Japanese beauty. | |
| 121 | With that said, I would like be in a uni-...small musical group as well. | |
| 122 | ||
| 123 | Cooperation, and harmony. | |
| 124 | ||
| 125 | Side Note: Are you good with mornings? | |
| 126 | ||
| 127 | --- | |
| 128 | ||
| 129 | Those are the aesthetics of Japan! | |
| 130 | I'll become even more dilligent! | |
| 131 | ||
| 132 | (One, two, three four) | |
| 133 | ||
| 134 | --- | |
| 135 | ||
| 136 | Wah! | |
| 137 | Serika!? | |
| 138 | ||
| 139 | Are you alright? | |
| 140 | I'm sorry, Shizuka-san. | |
| 141 | It's okay, don't worry. | |
| 142 | ||
| 143 | It's not okay, you know? | |
| 144 | Shiho? | |
| 145 | ||
| 146 | Like with yesterday, | |
| 147 | Once you become tired, you immediately become sloppy and your feet stagger. | |
| 148 | Are you sure you're not lacking in fundamental training? | |
| 149 | ||
| 150 | I-I'm sorry, Shiho-san. | |
| 151 | It's not like I wanted you to apologize. | |
| 152 | ||
| 153 | Okay, eyes over here! | |
| 154 | ||
| 155 | Side Note: Sayoko - Actually, not really... I'll work on adjusting my sleep rhythm and solve it my way! | |
| 156 | Reika - I'm not good at all! (music note) I'd wake up instantly if I were on a mountain, though...wonder why~? | |
| 157 | ||
| 158 | --- | |
| 159 | ||
| 160 | And here she is~! | |
| 161 | ||
| 162 | The team's mood maker, everyone's idol, Akane-chan, bursts on the scene! | |
| 163 | ||
| 164 | Uh...so in regards to Akane-chan...it looks like the current subject is raising the entire team's stamina. | |
| 165 | ||
| 166 | (Sneeze) | |
| 167 | ||
| 168 | Ah, sorry about that, please continue. | |
| 169 | Were we talking about if it was alright that Shiho-chan and Shizuka-chan's movements were small compared to mine? | |
| 170 | Hold the phone, Reika-chan just broke full throttle into the Akane-chan zone~! | |
| 171 | ||
| 172 | Reika-san's dance has the largest moves out of all of us. | |
| 173 | In comparison, Nonohara-san has speed and crispness of her moves. | |
| 174 | And there's the three of us who can't match up with them... | |
| 175 | ||
| 176 | We can't pass the audition like this... | |
| 177 | ||
| 178 | Excuse me, Reika-san. | |
| 179 | ||
| 180 | Could you make your movements a bit more compact? To match up with everyone's... | |
| 181 | ||
| 182 | Side Note: Emily - Yes. Dawn, dusk, daybreak, all such times... Japan's mornings are beautiful and I wake up naturally to them (music note) | |
| 183 | ||
| 184 | --- | |
| 185 | ||
| 186 | Hold it, Shizuka! | |
| 187 | Do you think that would work on the fest's stage!? | |
| 188 | ||
| 189 | Well...but we don't have a choice. | |
| 190 | We have to synchronize as a unit first. | |
| 191 | Ah... | |
| 192 | Sh, Shizuka-san! | |
| 193 | ||
| 194 | Serika? | |
| 195 | Don't worry, it's not your fault. | |
| 196 | ||
| 197 | That's not it. I... | |
| 198 | I... | |
| 199 | ||
| 200 | - | I don't know why, |
| 200 | + | Side Note - Serika - Junior jumps up on the bed when it's time for his walk. It's really cute! |
| 201 | - | It's with these five. |
| 201 | + | |
| 202 | --- | |
| 203 | ||
| 204 | I, want to... | |
| 205 | Work even harder. | |
| 206 | ||
| 207 | Serika... | |
| 208 | So it's practice, then. We have to keep doing it until then. | |
| 209 | Well~ Mogamin has a point about getting a proper foundation first, too~ | |
| 210 | ||
| 211 | Our opinions are also scattered. | |
| 212 | And to start with, despite it being a small unit, our singing voices, endurance, and physiques are too different. | |
| 213 | Not that I'm going to say anything about Producer-san's selection skills. | |
| 214 | Shiho... | |
| 215 | ||
| 216 | --- | |
| 217 | ||
| 218 | I don't understand... | |
| 219 | Why we five were picked. | |
| 220 | ||
| 221 | Side Note: Akane - Akane-chan's morning comes late. It starts around when she apologizes to Pro-chan for being late...! | |
| 222 | ||
| 223 | --- | |
| 224 | ||
| 225 | Shiizuka-chan! | |
| 226 | ||
| 227 | Mirai. | |
| 228 | Good work today! Did you finish unit training? | |
| 229 | Yes, I was just about to leave. | |
| 230 | ||
| 231 | Is that a thermos? That's rare to see. | |
| 232 | Yeah, you know, I... | |
| 233 | ||
| 234 | You seemed busy preparing for the fest recently, so... | |
| 235 | ||
| 236 | I was wonder what I could do as support. So I made a special drink to give you energy! | |
| 237 | Ehehe, will you drink it? | |
| 238 | ||
| 239 | --- | |
| 240 | ||
| 241 | Thank you for the drink. | |
| 242 | ||
| 243 | Don't hold back, down it in one go! It has lots of garlic, so it's bound to give you energy! | |
| 244 | (Gar...) | |
| 245 | ||
| 246 | (Swallow) | |
| 247 | How was it? Do you feel any energy? How about now? | |
| 248 | ||
| 249 | --- | |
| 250 | ||
| 251 | Mirai...did you taste this? | |
| 252 | Ah...! I forgot... | |
| 253 | ||
| 254 | I'm sorry, Shizuka-chan! | |
| 255 | I was so focused on the ingredients that I forgot about the flavor! It didn't taste that good!? | |
| 256 | It would be good to not let others drink it in the meantime... | |
| 257 | ||
| 258 | But... | |
| 259 | ||
| 260 | Thank you for worrying about me. | |
| 261 | ||
| 262 | Next time I'll make sure to sample it, and I'll have Minako-chan teach me! | |
| 263 | So there's a next time... | |
| 264 | ||
| 265 | --- | |
| 266 | ||
| 267 | (I want to work even harder.) | |
| 268 | ||
| 269 | --- | |
| 270 | ||
| 271 | Match up with everyone a bit more... | |
| 272 | ||
| 273 | Do you think that would work on the fest's stage!? | |
| 274 | ||
| 275 | --- | |
| 276 | ||
| 277 | Shiho? | |
| 278 | ||
| 279 | --- | |
| 280 | ||
| 281 | Shiho! | |
| 282 | ||
| 283 | Shizuka. | |
| 284 | So it was you, after all. | |
| 285 | What a coincidence. | |
| 286 | ||
| 287 | You're running, right? Since we're in the same unit and all, how about doing it together? | |
| 288 | I'll pass. I want to run at my own pace. | |
| 289 | See you. | |
| 290 | ||
| 291 | --- | |
| 292 | ||
| 293 | Ah, such nice weather! | |
| 294 | The sun's blessing Akane-chan too, I see~ | |
| 295 | ||
| 296 | What's this? | |
| 297 | ||
| 298 | That's...Mogamin and... | |
| 299 | Shihorin? | |
| 300 | ||
| 301 | Hey, you two! How lucky are you that you get to meet Akane-chan this early in the morn... | |
| 302 | -ing... | |
| 303 | ||
| 304 | --- | |
| 305 | ||
| 306 | This is the first time Akane-chan's been ignored with such force... | |
| 307 | ||
| 308 | J-just stop already... | |
| 309 | H,how long do you plan to follow me!? | |
| 310 | ||
| 311 | Until you...stop... | |
| 312 | ||
| 313 | --- | |
| 314 | ||
| 315 | I, I'm going to say it outright! | |
| 316 | You're in the way! | |
| 317 | ||
| 318 | Fine by me! | |
| 319 | ||
| 320 | --- | |
| 321 | ||
| 322 | [Running] | |
| 323 | ||
| 324 | --- | |
| 325 | ||
| 326 | Mountain climbing? With Serika? | |
| 327 | ||
| 328 | Yes, it was over the weekend with Reika-san. | |
| 329 | This is a picture at the summit. | |
| 330 | ||
| 331 | We at curry at the summit, right~? | |
| 332 | It was in a bag, like magic! | |
| 333 | I see. | |
| 334 | ||
| 335 | I didn't know your hobby was climbing mountains. | |
| 336 | ||
| 337 | Serika-chan was pretty impressve to climb up until the end. | |
| 338 | Ehehe, | |
| 339 | It was actually really tough along the way. | |
| 340 | ||
| 341 | --- | |
| 342 | ||
| 343 | Looking at Reika-san's straight figure from behind... | |
| 344 | I thought about having to keep up myself. | |
| 345 | ||
| 346 | Hello, over here~! | |
| 347 | Akane-chan's got the answer! | |
| 348 | ||
| 349 | Reika-san's endurance and lung capacity are a result of mountain climbing, right? | |
| 350 | I think I was born with it? | |
| 351 | What!? | |
| 352 | ||
| 353 | Sorry to keep you waiting. | |
| 354 | ||
| 355 | --- | |
| 356 | ||
| 357 | Let's start today's lesson. | |
| 358 | ||
| 359 | Finished! Special Mirai Drink No.2! | |
| 360 | ||
| 361 | --- | |
| 362 | ||
| 363 | This time it actually tastes good, so I hope Shizuka-chan likes it. | |
| 364 | ||
| 365 | Is this the new song? | |
| 366 | It's Shizuka-chan's voice, but... | |
| 367 | ||
| 368 | It feels... | |
| 369 | Different from before...? | |
| 370 | ||
| 371 | --- | |
| 372 | ||
| 373 | Shizuka, your movements are too slow! | |
| 374 | The center shouldn't be looking around! How disgraceful! | |
| 375 | ||
| 376 | Serika-chan, jump higher! | |
| 377 | Follow it in movement and don't mind the height! | |
| 378 | ||
| 379 | Okay! | |
| 380 | ||
| 381 | What...is this? | |
| 382 | ||
| 383 | --- | |
| 384 | ||
| 385 | Are they fighting? | |
| 386 | Everyone's yelling at each other. | |
| 387 | ||
| 388 | Bodies and bodies, | |
| 389 | ||
| 390 | Voices and voices, hitting each other... | |
| 391 | ||
| 392 | Being played. | |
| 393 | ||
| 394 | --- | |
| 395 | ||
| 396 | So this is what Shizuka-chan's song is like... | |
| 397 | ||
| 398 | It's not that beautiful. The sound is a bit off, but... | |
| 399 | ||
| 400 | But... | |
| 401 | ||
| 402 | I'm getting...really excited! | |
| 403 | ||
| 404 | --- | |
| 405 | ||
| 406 | So you CAN do it! | |
| 407 | ||
| 408 | Of course! | |
| 409 | ||
| 410 | ...Still in darkness for now, to make a bright light. |
