  3. Chapter 18 - To Reach Even Further
  4.  
  5. These four are starting as idols this summer!
  6.  
  7. ---
  8. 2
  9.  
  10. The approaching summer festival.　Shizuka's transformation from unit work... But what about Mirai and the others, who aren't participating...!?
  11.  
  12. ......
  13.  
  14. Producer!
  15.  
  16. Konomi-san.
  17. What's the matter, with that gloomy face?
  18. If it's alright, how about having a cup with me? It's coffee, though. ♥
  19.  
  20. ---
  21. 3
  22.  
  23. Well, it seems that some appropriate live work came up for the Theater's new members...
  24. (Thank you)
  25. Oh, isn't that a good thing? By the newcomers, you mean girls like Mirai-chan and Subaru-chan, right?
  26.  
  27. But the schedule...is on the same day as the idol fest.
  28.  
  29. Of course, I wouldn't be able to be there with them, and I'd prefer that the newcomers be able to watch the fest's stage performance.
  30. I see,
  31. There will be idols from other productions, too, and it would be a good opportunity.
  32.  
  33. Since these are different from the regular lives, I think it would be a good motivation to see them watch you all up there.
  34.  
  35. H-hold on a minute, Producer-san!
  36. The auditions haven't even begun yet, but you're expecting me to be a part of it already!?
  37.  
  38. Haha, I'm looking forward to it.
  39. Uu...leave it to me~!
  40.  
  41. ---
  42. 4
  43.  
  44. (This month's question: What genre of movies do you watch?)
  45. Huh...
  46. Mirai?
  47.  
  48. ---
  49. 5
  50.  
  51. Subaru...
  52.  
  53. What are you doing over here?
  54. Huh? Well...
  55.  
  56. Spacing out. (Ehe)
  57. You're always doing that! (Ahaha)
  58.  
  59. By the way, is there anything left in that thermos?
  60. I'm really thirsty right now!
  61. Yeah, do you want it? It's my homemade juice, though...
  62.  
  63. (Thanks)
  64.  
  65. ---
  66. 6
  67.  
  68. (Hey, it's good)
  69.  
  70. You know, I was going to give this to Shizuka-chan and the others,
  71. But they're in the middle of a lesson right now.
  72.  
  73. So you're waiting here until they finish!?
  74.  
  75. Just leave it in a locker or something.
  76. And a note, too
  77. (To Shizuka-chan♥)
  78. I see! That works, too!
  79.  
  80. It's about time for the meeting, so I'm heading to the dressing room.
  81. Ah!
  82. Wait for me!
  83.  
  84. (Mirai: I love musicals! Seeing everyone dance and sing makes me so excited♪)
  85.  
  86. ---
  87. 7
  88.  
  89. A CD hand delivery event?
  90.  
  91. Yeah, do you know what's done there?
  92. Handing over...CDs?
  93. That's right!
  94.  
  95. The members are you four here. This is your debut CD after all, so make a bit appeal to your fans!
  96.  
  97. With that said, today's jobs is going to be this.
  98. ?
  99.  
  100. (Magic?)
  101.  
  102. (Miya: I saw a really amazing movie recently~ A penguin spy was searching the universe for love~)
  103.  
  104. ---
  105. 8
  106.  
  107. Mi ra i Ka su ga... (Okay)
  108.  
  109. Okay, that looks good♪
  110. Good thing we could practice our signatures! Right, Emily-chan?
  111. ...
  112.  
  113. Ugugugu...
  114.  
  115. Huh!? E-emily-chan, what's wrong!?
  116. I-I decided to have my first signature using a brush, but...
  117.  
  118. It's difficult to write with ink on this vessel...
  119.  
  120. Side Note: Serika - I love movies with doggies! But I always cry when I watch them!
  121.  
  122. ---
  123. 9
  124.  
  125. I won't be able to become a proper Japanese beauty with this!
  126. (One more time!)
  127. Emily-chan.
  128.  
  129. If you cut some Japanese paper like this...
  130.  
  131. Here you go~ You can sign this little piece of paper and put it in the case~
  132. How impressive~! Thank you, Miya-chan! Is this what they call Japan's fountain of wisdom!?
  133.  
  134. I did it! Does it look like it was done by a Japanese beauty?
  135. Your handwriting sure is nice~
  136.  
  137. ...
  138.  
  139. (Julia: A documentary about a rocker I love. Watched it over a hundred times♪)
  140. (Shiho: I've watched movies made from books I like.)
  141.  
  142. ---
  143. 10
  144.  
  145. Hey, Emily.
  146. Yes, Subaru-san, what is it?
  147.  
  148. Who is this "Japanese beauty" you keep talking about?
  149. Someone famous?
  150.  
  151. A Japanese beauty is not a name,
  152. It's my target, my goal!
  153.  
  154. Are you not aiming to be one too, Subaru-san?
  155. M-me? That sounds a bit much, so I don't think I can do it.
  156.  
  157. Mmph, what is your goal then, Subaru-san!?
  158. I would very much like to know!
  159. Huh? M-my goal?
  160.  
  161. ---
  162. 11
  163.  
  164. Uh...
  165. My parents started me off with being an idol,
  166. But I'm not sure of it right off the bat.
  167.  
  168. How about you, Mirai? Any goals or something?
  169. Me?
  170.  
  171. Of course I do!
  172. Um...It's...
  173. (Guitar | Nice/Delicious | Amazing | Cool
  174. Fashionable | Dance | Cute)
  175.  
  176. Cool, amazing, cute dances are delicious guitars...?
  177. What?
  178. That's pretty deep...
  179.  
  180. (Question: What's your favorite noodle type?)
  181.  
  182. ---
  183. 12
  184.  
  185. My goal is to be a bold historic idol!
  186. (Here we go!)
  187. WAO! What kind of Japanese beauty is that!?
  188.  
  189. What~ Everyone else has one? Hmmmmm...
  190.  
  191. Aaah, what if I'm the only one without one~!
  192. ...
  193.  
  194. To be recognized by anyone...I want to become an idol like that.
  195. A happy life! Having fun and being popular is the best life there is!
  196.  
  197. (Emily: Soba at the end of the year, somen during hot summer days, Chinese noodles with everyone at the theater...I can't decide!)
  198. (Subaru: I've become hooked on Tomyamu-kun's Cup Ramen recently! Just thinking about it makes me want some!)
  199.  
  200. ---
  201. 13
  202.  
  203. Huh?
  204. What about me?
  205.  
  206. Am I...
  207. Alright being like this?
  208.  
  209. (Tsubasa: I love pasta! For dates, the afternoon should be pasta, and the evening should have steaks♪)
  210.  
  211. ---
  212. 14
  213.  
  214. Here you are.
  215.  
  216. "Thank you very much for your patronage"
  217. "I'm always cheering for you"
  218.  
  219. Well, that's about how it goes, with handing CDs off one at a time.
  220. So make sure to look them in the eyes and give thanks, okay?
  221.  
  222. And then there's about 30 seconds of conversation time,
  223. It may take a bit, but keep those smiles on until the very end!
  224. (Okay!)
  225.  
  226. (Konomi: Let's see...I wonder why late night ramen tastes so good...)
  227.  
  228. ---
  229. 15
  230.  
  231. (20 minutes left!)
  232. (I'll help with forming the line)
  233.  
  234. You sure aren't calm, Subaru-chan~
  235. I-
  236. I get nervous if I'm not moving! (Don't laugh)
  237. Subaru-san, I can help with calisthenics if you'd like! (Eiya!)
  238.  
  239. (One, two, three, four)
  240.  
  241. (Shrink)
  242.  
  243. (Shizuka: My favorite udon? Tsukimi, ebiten, and... I like regular udon too, of course!)
  244.  
  245. ---
  246. 16
  247.  
  248. Mirai-cha~n.
  249. Miya-san. (What is it?)
  250.  
  251. You're pretty quiet today~
  252.  
  253. Hu-...r-really!?
  254.  
  255. How about talking with me~?
  256. There's ple~nty of time to...
  257. Alright, everyone!
  258.  
  259. It's time! Everyone's coming in now!
  260. ...
  261.  
  262. ---
  263. 17
  264.  
  265. (Please don't run)
  266.  
  267. ...
  268.  
  269. ...
  270.  
  271. Ah...
  272.  
  273. ---
  274. 18
  275.  
  276. A-are you Kasuga Mirai-san!?
  277. Yes!
  278. I am Kasuga Mirai!
  279.  
  280. Ah, I'm, uhh...
  281. Your fan!
  282.  
  283. T-thanks!
  284.  
  285. T-these are flowers!
  286. I-I didn't know what to bring, so my mother...err no! Because they were pretty!
  287. Thank you very much!
  288. (So loud...)
  289.  
  290. ---
  291. 19
  292.  
  293. Okay then! Do your best!
  294. Yes! I'll do my best!
  295.  
  296. (Huh?)
  297.  
  298. Hey, wait!
  299. Woah!
  300.  
  301. Have a...CD!
  302.  
  303. ---
  304. 20
  305.  
  306. Ah.
  307.  
  308. This face...
  309.  
  310. ---
  311. 21
  312.  
  313. Ah~ So cute~
  314.  
  315. You're sure keeping with it
  316. Yeah~
  317.  
  318. Thank you
  319.  
  320. ---
  321. 22
  322.  
  323. Congratulations on your debut! I'll be at your next live, too!
  324. Okay! Thank you very much!
  325.  
  326. ---
  327. 23
  328.  
  329. Thank you very much.
  330.  
  331. Thank you very much~
  332.  
  333. Hehe! Thanks!
  334.  
  335. Thank you very much!
  336.  
  337. ---
  338. 24
  339.  
  340. Good work, everyone! Want some cold juice?
  341. That's thoughtful of you, Producer!
  342.  
  343. (That was really fun!)
  344. (I still can't calm down!)
  345.  
  346. Mirai!
  347.  
  348. ---
  349. 25
  350.  
  351. What are you doing out here?
  352. (Are you thirsty?)
  353. Producer-san,
  354.  
  355. I was, err...
  356. Thinking.
  357. Thinking?
  358.  
  359. That idols are pretty amazing.
  360.  
  361. Making everyone have those faces made me so happy.
  362.  
  363. ---
  364. 26
  365.  
  366. And it filled up my chest with emotion.
  367.  
  368. Since summer vacation started, I recorded a CD, went on a radio show, wore outfits, wrote autographs,
  369. And did all sorts of idol things...
  370.  
  371. But meeting with fans was the job I probably liked the most.
  372.  
  373. ---
  374. 27
  375.  
  376. ...I see.
  377. Mirai...there's something I need to tell you. Do you have a moment?
  378.  
  379. Alright everything, raise your ice creams!
  380.  
  381. Shizuka-chan...
  382.  
  383. Tsubasa...
  384.  
  385. ---
  386. 28
  387.  
  388. Congratulations on passing the idol fest audition~!
  389. Cheers!
  390.  
  391. You room is cleaner than I thought it would be.
  392. Ah! You thought it would be be a mess!?
  393.  
  394. Hey hey, Mirai, is this a cactus?
  395. Yeah, my dad buys them once in a while.
  396. (They're in the living room, too)
  397.  
  398. Oh.
  399.  
  400. ---
  401. 29
  402.  
  403. A photograph of when we watched the fireworks.
  404.  
  405. We ended up not playing much outside of this during summer vacation...
  406. We were busy with the audition and Mirai had the CD debut, after all.
  407.  
  408. And school's tomorrow~ I wanted to go to pools and summer festivals~
  409. An idol can't ask for too much about that.
  410.  
  411. And the idol fest is like a festival, and there will be outdoor booths, too.
  412. I'll definitely get a chocolate banana!
  413.  
  414. ---
  415. 30
  416.  
  417. You're coming too, right, Mirai?
  418. Let's go have some fun after it ends!
  419.  
  420. About that...
  421.  
  422. A different job?
  423. On the day of the fest?
  424.  
  425. Well...is it a necessary one?
  426. I'd like for you to see this stage performance if possible...
  427. It's a live! With Emily-chan and the others at an amusement park!
  428.  
  429. ---
  430. 31
  431.  
  432. It's not a big stage like at the fest, but I want to do my best as an idol.
  433.  
  434. Recently, I was able to meet with my fans directly,
  435. And I want to be in front of everyone again and sing.
  436.  
  437. I'm not sure of my goal as an idol,
  438. And I really want to go see your performance,
  439.  
  440. But I want to just sing for now.
  441. Ehehe.
  442.  
  443. ... I understand.
  444.  
  445. ---
  446. 32
  447.  
  448. Let's do all we can at both of our stages.
  449.  
  450. The day of the Idol Festival
  451.  
  452. Oh.
  453.  
  454. ---
  455. 33
  456.  
  457. The young ones fit any outfit they wear. (Impressive)
  458. Ahahahaha! It really suits you! I mean it! (Nyahahaha)
  459. T-this is quite the incident!
  460. Y O U G U Y S...
  461.  
  462. (Usually)
  463. D-don't stare so much,
  464. It's embarrassing...
  465.  
  466. Actually, is everyone tricking me? Am I supposed to be wearing this?
  467. (I want to go home now...)
  468. It really is cute on you!
  469.  
  470. Juli a
  471.  
  472. ---
  473. 34
  474.  
  475. -no!
  476.  
  477. Uhya!
  478.  
  479. Come over here! Let's show you in a skirt to Producer-san!
  480. T-Tsubasa, wait!
  481.  
  482. I actually want to practice the dance routine before it starts. Could you help me?
  483. I'm not too confident in...
  484. No~pe!
  485.  
  486. Oh, Konomi-san, look at Juliano!
  487. (Isn't she cute?)
  488. Oh, how cute!
  489.  
  490. Mo~gamin♪
  491.  
  492. --
  493. 35
  494.  
  495. (Mustache)
  496. Come on, no looking at other units!
  497. We need to do the huddle before it starts!
  498. Shizuka-san, have the spot next to me!
  499.  
  500. Right!
  501.  
  502. ---
  503. 36
  504.  
  505. Very well~ Today, let's~
  506.  
  507. Do our best~!
  508. Yeah~!
  509.  
  510. And the three head off to their stages. The climax, next week!
  511.  
  512. -----------------------------
  513.  
  514. Chapter 19 - Believe Our Change!
  515.  
  516. Ready for the summer festival?
  517.  
  518. ---
  519.  
  520. Umm...
  521.  
  522. ---
  523.  
  524. Take this, Yakiniku Punch!
  525. I gotta go potty!
  526.  
  527. I wanted to go to Dream Land instead.
  528. Yeah.
  529.  
  530. This is...
  531. (Gyahahahahaha)
  532.  
  533. Where we're supposed to sing...right?
  534. バーカ
  535. Stupid!
  536. こっち来いってー
  537. Get over here!
  538. うっせー
  539. Shut it!
  540. あら本当～！？
  541. Oh my, really~?
  542. そうなのよ～
  543. That's right~
  544. だからー
  545. So I said...
  546.  
  547. ---
  548.  
  549. Our audience is full of kids!
  550. That's not true~
  551. There are some senior ladies in the back, too~
  552.  
  553. That one!
  554.  
  555. There's a single guy in the group! (Uses "Ore"!)
  556. I'm female!
  557.  
  558. Subaru-san, please leave this to me.
  559. Emily!?
  560.  
  561. Though there may be a difference in age, if you face them seriously, then surely we'll understand each other from the heart.
  562.  
  563. You a foreigner, Nee-chan!?
  564.  
  565. Side Note: Question of the month: What is your favorite sushi topping?
  566.  
  567. ---
  568.  
  569. Speak some English! Come on!
  570. English, you say?
  571. But I am aiming to be a proper Japanese beauty, so on the stage, I speak proper polite Japanese...
  572. I can do it! "How are you!"
  573.  
  574. "I'm fine!"
  575. Japanese
  576. Speaking...
  577. "Thank you!"
  578. "Sunny Today"
  579.  
  580. Don't tease Emily, you guys!
  581.  
  582. This may take some work~
  583. What should we do, Mirai-chan~?
  584. Hmm...
  585.  
  586. Mirai, you have your own stage, so let's both give it our all.
  587.  
  588. ---
  589.  
  590. ...Yeah!
  591. For now, I'm just going to try singing!
  592.  
  593. Singing, in this atmosphere!?
  594. Don't worry, Subaru!
  595.  
  596. Those two are surely...doing their best right now, after all.
  597.  
  598. So you know...
  599. Really?
  600.  
  601. Wahahaha!
  602. ...
  603.  
  604. Side Note: Mirai - The omurice sushi I tried for a first time recently was really good!
  605.  
  606. ---
  607.  
  608. Give it back!
  609. Nah!
  610.  
  611. He~y!
  612. You little!
  613. Oh, really~?
  614.  
  615. ---
  616.  
  617. "Away"?
  618.  
  619. About the Idol Fest venue, right?
  620. (Here you go)
  621. Right...
  622. (Thank you)
  623.  
  624. Of course, I've been aware of it, but through singing as a representative of the Theater, I reaffirmed it.
  625.  
  626. Side Note: Tsubasa - Juicy salmon and fatty tuna! I lo~ve sushi~!
  627.  
  628. ---
  629.  
  630. There were people who get really excited, but also many that are weren't interested at all.
  631.  
  632. So the audience today is different from the fans that come to the Theater to see us.
  633.  
  634. Kotoha~?
  635. Kotoha!
  636. Megumi!? Elena!?
  637.  
  638. Side Note: Miya - I like ham and eggs sandwiches, but sushi~? Hmm~ Maybe shrimp~?
  639. Julia - T-tuna salad...What about it!?
  640.  
  641. ---
  642.  
  643. Aww, getting all serious on us...
  644. The opening only just finished!
  645. That's right, Kotoha worked the hardest! And our stage performance together is coming up!
  646.  
  647. ...Thank you.
  648.  
  649. See you then, Shizuka-chan,
  650. We're off (music note)!
  651. Please do your best!
  652.  
  653. "Away"...huh.
  654.  
  655. Side Note: Mizuki - Searching the Makabe Favorite Topping Ranking. At first place is...tada, sea urchin.
  656.  
  657. ---
  658.  
  659. Right, passing the audition was only the arriving up to the starting line. What am I feeling so odd about?
  660.  
  661. The Idol Festival, a union live where idols from various productions come together...
  662.  
  663. ---
  664.  
  665. It's not just a normal festival,
  666. The true competition is just starting!
  667.  
  668. Juliano?
  669.  
  670. Side Note: What did you do with your first paycheck?
  671.  
  672. ---
  673.  
  674. Mizuki-chan, know where Juliano is?
  675. Julia-san went to buy a drink.
  676. Mizuki-san, Mizuki-san!
  677.  
  678. (Aren't the catering's biscuits like lembas (Elven bread)!?)
  679. I'm going to go look for her.
  680.  
  681. Juli-...
  682.  
  683. Side Note: Shizuka - I bought a portable humifier than Chihaya-san told me about.
  684. Subaru - I bought a premium meatbun on the way home! That was so good~!
  685.  
  686. ---
  687.  
  688. Juliano, you're sweating so much. Is it hot?
  689. Tsubasa...
  690.  
  691. Yeah, it's going to heat up from here, so probably because of that.
  692. If I just get some air...
  693.  
  694. Huh?
  695. No, there's nothing wrong, I'm all...
  696.  
  697. Side Note: Sayoko - I bought matching glasses as a present for my parents. Oh, and a new wheel for Hariko...!
  698. Yuriko - I-I bought some equipment for my avatar. It was limited and also at a temporary discount!
  699.  
  700. ---
  701.  
  702. Your hand is cold.
  703.  
  704. Even though it's hot?
  705.  
  706. ...
  707.  
  708. ...Sorry for being like this before showtime.
  709.  
  710. ...Well, I'm probably nervous. Sorry you had to see me like this.
  711. Even though I'd be alright on any stage in the usual outfit with guitar in hand...
  712.  
  713. ---
  714.  
  715. Well you know, this outfit doesn't fit me at all, right?
  716. And it's taking everything just to keep up with everyone's dancing.
  717.  
  718. So, me being an idol...
  719. Thinking it's pretty laughable now...
  720.  
  721. Juliano, you're cute, you know?
  722.  
  723. ---
  724.  
  725. I'm always saying it, too! And your skirt looks nice!
  726. Oh, but your dancing is pretty stiff, though~ Ahahahaha
  727.  
  728. Don't know if you're praising or making fun of me, but you're straightforward as usual.
  729.  
  730. I know!
  731.  
  732. How about if I watch you, Juliano? During the entire stage performance.
  733.  
  734. So I can follow up on any mistakes, and maybe it'll be a bit more relieving~? ('Kay?)
  735.  
  736. Side Note: Emily - I purchased a light stick (in kanji) for myself. The purple color was so beautiful, that I waved it around at home.
  737.  
  738. ---
  739.  
  740. ...Wha?
  741.  
  742. You know, you sure say whatever comes to mind. You're the center, and I'm at the edge, remember?
  743. (Audience - Center - Stage)
  744. How could you see me from that position?
  745.  
  746. Well, you know! When doing turns or something! And there are lots of parts in the routine when we mix around.
  747. That's a bit much...
  748.  
  749. It isn't, you know?
  750.  
  751. ---
  752.  
  753. And also, I haven't tried something like this before, so I'm looking forward to how it turns out.
  754.  
  755. Fun for her, huh...
  756. (Even though people are worried...)
  757.  
  758. ALL RIGHT!
  759. Wah
  760.  
  761. ---
  762.  
  763. Might as well enjoy it myself, then!
  764. Being an idol!
  765.  
  766. ---
  767.  
  768. Hello! Thanks, everyone! I'm Kasuga Mirai, an idol of 765-Pro!
  769. (You little...)
  770.  
  771. Do you like idols?
  772.  
  773. Hmph.
  774.  
  775. ---
  776.  
  777. How about you, Miss!? Do you like idols?
  778.  
  779. I'm Aa-chan!
  780.  
  781. Aa-chan only listens to Jupiter when it comes to idols. Female idols are so fake, I hate them!
  782.  
  783. So you don't have to sing.
  784.  
  785. Aa-chan, you like Jupiter!? They're pretty cool!
  786.  
  787. Can you sing their songs?
  788. Of course!
  789. Then let's sing together!
  790.  
  791. ...
  792.  
  793. ---
  794.  
  795. Uh, so...
  796. Is this kind of stage performance alright...?
  797.  
  798. Subaru!
  799.  
  800. This kid like Yakinikuman! Can you sing the theme song?
  801.  
  802. Oh, I watch it from time to time, so I at least know it.
  803. Then let's sing it!
  804.  
  805. ---
  806.  
  807. Nee-chan, you good at singing?
  808. Don't underestimate idols!
  809.  
  810. Miya-san, let us go as well!
  811. Okay~ Can't lose to those two~
  812.  
  813. (Advance~!)
  814. (We shall join too!)
  815.  
  816. ---
  817.  
  818. Let's clap to the beat together~
  819.  
  820. (Next song coming up!)
  821.  
  822. ---
  823.  
  824. [Idolan]
  825.  
  826. ---
  827.  
  828. ...
  829.  
  830. Tsubasa?
  831.  
  832. You noticed it, too?
  833. Producer.
  834.  
  835. Tsubasa's performance, right? It's pretty different from rehersal.
  836. It's not just the increased ad-libbing.
  837.  
  838. ---
  839.  
  840. It's not pointless, the movements have some sort of a purpose to them.
  841.  
  842. Such as...
  843.  
  844. The partners onstage.
  845.  
  846. And perhaps...
  847.  
  848. The fans in the audience.
  849.  
  850. ---
  851.  
  852. It's a good sight to see.
  853.  
  854. It's times like these that I'm glad to be a producer.
  855.  
  856. Times like these?
  857.  
  858. When you can see...
  859.  
  860. ---
  861.  
  862. The moment idols have grown.
  863.  
  864. ---
  865.  
  866. Phew~
  867.  
  868. So hooot, the venue's pretty pumped up.
  869. Tsubasa-chan! Good thing we practiced so much!
  870. Takayama-san, this is Mizuki.
  871.  
  872. Producer-saan!
  873. Good work out there! Every song was good!
  874.  
  875. ---
  876.  
  877. Growth...
  878.  
  879. It may not show much, but Tsubasa's changed how she thinks.
  880. Same with Mirai. She's starting to head down her own path.
  881.  
  882. And I...
  883.  
  884. ---
  885.  
  886. What's with that face?
  887.  
  888. Center,
  889. If you're scared, how about switching out now?
  890.  
  891. I definitely won't!
  892.  
  893. ---
  894.  
  895. Shiho...
  896.  
  897. It's about time~! Akane-chan might just go all out~!
  898. Let's go, Shizuka-san!
  899.  
  900. Right, I've...
  901. Already prepared myself for this.
  902.  
  903. ---
  904.  
  905. [Awaken, my IDOLS]
  906.  
  907. ----------------------
  908.  
  909. Chapter 20 - ENJOY H@RMONY!!
  910.  
  911. Surely, this path is the continuation to the dream...
  912.  
  913. ---
  914.  
  915. At the summer festival, it's finally Shizuka and the others' stage!
  916.  
  917. ...
  918.  
  919. The air is shaking.
  920.  
  921. The audience's voices,
  922.  
  923. Are adding to the heat.
  924.  
  925. After climbing up these steps, there is the...
  926.  
  927. ---
  928.  
  929. Ah, I should stop.
  930.  
  931. Don't think now. Concentrate, concentrate...
  932.  
  933. I've practiced a lot. Need to believe in the effort put in.
  934.  
  935. In myself...
  936.  
  937. Side Note: What do you put in okonomiyaki ?
  938.  
  939. ---
  940.  
  941. Side Note: Shizuka - Chinese noodles are pretty good, but udon goes pretty well with okonomiyaki, too.
  942. Shiho - I put in mochi... Right, the sliced kind.
  943.  
  944. ---
  945.  
  946. Shoot, it's raining. What should we do?
  947. Head back for now? There's just one part I want to watch later.
  948.  
  949. ...
  950. (Should we eat, too?)
  951.  
  952. Rain, huh.
  953. The audience is outside so the next unit is pretty unlucky.
  954.  
  955. But...do your best!
  956.  
  957. Side Note: Serika - The okonomiyaki I ate recently at a restaurant has avocado inside, it was really good!
  958.  
  959. ---
  960.  
  961. Huh?
  962.  
  963. ---
  964.  
  965. [Singing]
  966.  
  967. ---
  968.  
  969. ...
  970.  
  971. Not bad.
  972.  
  973. A strong and distinct sound.
  974.  
  975. Movements with confidence behind them.
  976.  
  977. I can tell that everyone's improved this summer.
  978. But they need to complete another step.
  979.  
  980. ---
  981.  
  982. They're still not meshing together as a team,
  983. It's like all five are doing solo stage performances.
  984.  
  985. ---
  986.  
  987. Side Note: Reika - "Kitakamiyaki" has a lot of cabbage and mayonnaise in the batter (music note)
  988.  
  989. ---
  990.  
  991. For the final song...
  992.  
  993. I need to control my breathing.
  994.  
  995. ---
  996.  
  997. ...The rain has gotten stronger.
  998.  
  999. Behind the Theater, the stairway underneath the cherry trees.
  1000.  
  1001. There was five more laps until the usual routine is complete, but it started raining,
  1002. Making it harder to breathe.
  1003.  
  1004. ---
  1005.  
  1006. What was I doing?
  1007.  
  1008. Climbing these stairs over and over...
  1009.  
  1010. Thinking if there was even a point,
  1011. Behind these steps...
  1012.  
  1013. ---
  1014.  
  1015. [Crescendo]
  1016.

  1020.  
  1021. ---
  1022.  
  1023. In an instant...
  1024.  
  1025. They connected together?
  1026.  
  1027. Going at full power.
  1028. These five won't be led astray by anything.
  1029.  
  1030. Let's believe.
  1031. In our...
  1032.  
  1033. ---
  1034.  
  1035. Harmony!
  1036.  
  1037. ---
  1038.  
  1039. Side Note: Don't ask a Kansai native something that careless! You start off with dried bonito, kelp, and broth!
  1040.  
  1041. ---
  1042.  
  1043. That was great! Thanks!
  1044. The best!
  1045.  
  1046. Side Note: Where would you go if you had a time machine?
  1047.  
  1048. ---
  1049.  
  1050. [Udon]
  1051.  
  1052. ---
  1053.  
  1054. Side Note: I realized something amazing recently! If I go back to elementary school, I could get 100s on tests!
  1055. Akane - I'd go to the future to influence the entire world with Akane-chan's presence-nya!
  1056.  
  1057. ---
  1058.  
  1059. I'm off!
  1060.  
  1061. Side Note: Tsubasa - I'd like to meet my adult self~! She's surely going to be super popular~
  1062. Kana - I'd go to last year's spring to get seasonal limited sweets...I want to eat the strawberry flavor (music note)
  1063.  
  1064. ---
  1065.  
  1066. Idol Fan - Special Feature - Idol Festival: Cheers and applause meet these new idols as they aspire to become great.
  1067. Woah!
  1068.  
  1069. ---
  1070.  
  1071. Shizuka's photo made it out here too, huh. Wasn't here earlier.
  1072. (So big!)
  1073. Nao-chan!
  1074. (Morning!)
  1075.  
  1076. I love this! It's a good photo no matter how many times I look at it.
  1077. Prettier than the real thing!
  1078. The cameraman's got some skill!
  1079.  
  1080. ...Not sure what's going to happen from here.
  1081.  
  1082. For this one photograph to cause this much talk,
  1083. This must be the world of idols.
  1084. One more month until the Idol Fest!
  1085.  
  1086. Side Note: Anna - Umm...to the limited quest that ended recently... I couldn't participate because of work... Wanna do it...
  1087.  
  1088. ---
  1089.  
  1090. Shizuka-chan's picture made it on an Internet article and she became the topic all around,
  1091. And the other day, she even made it on the cover of a magazine.
  1092.  
  1093. (This is our upperclassman, seriously!? She's super pretty!)
  1094. (I heard her live at the school festival! And I went to the live last month...)
  1095.  
  1096. She's even famous at school.
  1097.  
  1098. Oh, Mirai. ('Sup)
  1099.  
  1100. ---
  1101.  
  1102. You looking for Shizuka?
  1103. Yeah, I have to do something after school, so I thought this would be a good time.
  1104. (To return a CD)
  1105.  
  1106. But too bad, she left early. That's been happening a lot recently.
  1107. Eeeh!?
  1108.  
  1109. Aww, I said I'd be coming over at the lunch break...
  1110. (What do I do with the CD)
  1111. Hey!
  1112.  
  1113. Is she busy because of that? Due to that photograph? She's become quite the topic recently.
  1114.  
  1115. Uh, yeah, I guess!
  1116. Dehehehehehe...
  1117. ...Why are you getting all boastful about?
  1118.  
  1119. ---
  1120.  
  1121. Mirai, I'm sorry,
  1122. Something sudden came up.
  1123.  
  1124. Shizuka-chan!
  1125.  
  1126. Yeah, it's alright! Yeah yeah! How about tonight? Are you going to be late?
  1127. I see, good luck at work! And don't force yourself!
  1128. (...You two newlyweds?)
  1129.  
  1130. Okay, I'll see you at the Theater tomorrow. Looking forward to it!
  1131.  
  1132. ---
  1133.  
  1134. How about this~?
  1135. Isn't this outfit cute?
  1136. (Unit outfit design - Black Frills Drape-type)
  1137.  
  1138. The music note and heart charms are in Shizuka-chan and your image! The skirt colors are divided up into three colors, and you're light pink.
  1139. Tsubasa, you're so good at drawing! (Cute!)
  1140.  
  1141. I have this! Thought up of a trademark. (How is it?)
  1142. Mark?
  1143. An alien?
  1144.  
  1145. So this is the tail...
  1146. Oh.
  1147.  
  1148. Isn't this trio getting along well.
  1149. Producer-san, good morning!
  1150.  
  1151. ---
  1152.  
  1153. I'll just go ahead and ask:
  1154. Shizuka, Tsubasa, Mirai,
  1155. What do you three want to do in this unit?
  1156.  
  1157. Yeah!
  1158.  
  1159. (Concept: Same school year, middle schoolers, friends)
  1160. (Unit Name: Strawberry Yogurt Nom Nom)
  1161. Too long. Rejected.
  1162.  
  1163. ---
  1164.  
  1165. Demo's finished!
  1166.  
  1167. ---
  1168.  
  1169. How is it?
  1170. I wanna sing it!
  1171. Love it!
  1172. It's a good song, very fitting.
  1173.  
  1174. We're planning to introduce this unit at the monthly live in December.
  1175. Of course, you'll be singing this new song as well. Please prepare as best you can during this time!
  1176.  
  1177. That's the final usual live this year, right.
  1178. Ehehe, I can't wait!
  1179.  
  1180. Sorry, phone call.
  1181.  
  1182. ---
  1183.  
  1184. The president?
  1185.  
  1186. Ah, I've been waiting, Mogami-kun! You look well!
  1187.  
  1188. Hello, President.
  1189. Good evening.
  1190.  
  1191. Come, have a seat. Would you two like some tea?
  1192. P-President, I can handle that!
  1193.  
  1194. ---
  1195.  
  1196. Alright...
  1197.  
  1198. The only thing to talk about is this:
  1199. Mogami Shizuka-kun.
  1200. Would you like to sing at the Budokan?
  1201.  
  1202. I've received word of a project inviting the top newcomers from various productions to compete,
  1203. And they've chosen you.
  1204.  
  1205. The victor will be awarded a final live performance in December at the Nippon Budokan, apparently. But in this case, you probably cannot perform Theater work at the same time.
  1206.  
  1207. What would you like to do?
  1208.

  1216.  
  1217. Hai x 6
  1218.  
  1219. ---
  1220. 2
  1221.  
  1222. N-November's regular live (sniff) G-...good
  1223.  
  1224. Good work, everyone!
  1225. Good work!
  1226.  
  1227. Karen-san! Your center performance today was so wonderful!
  1228. O-oh no, it's because of everyone's support that I...I...
  1229. You were pretty cool out there (Amazing, huh)
  1230. (Ahaha, that's Shiho for you)
  1231.  
  1232. ---
  1233. 3
  1234.  
  1235. ...
  1236.  
  1237. Mirai-chan sure has grown since coming here.
  1238. Hmm? Her height?
  1239. That too, but, Nao?
  1240.  
  1241. I know! From her bon dance from a half year ago to being a proper idol today.
  1242.  
  1243. Everyone's progressing step by step.
  1244.  
  1245. ---
  1246. 4
  1247.  
  1248. Oh, good work today.
  1249.  
  1250. Shizuka-chan spotted!
  1251. Such force!
  1252.  
  1253. Hey, any work left today? Already finished? Maybe you came to watch the live?
  1254. Well, just the final part...
  1255. You saw it!? How was it!?
  1256.  
  1257. Side Note: The chance of rain today is 50%...what do you do?
  1258.  
  1259. ---
  1260. 5
  1261.  
  1262. Ah! Guess what? I sang eight songs today! (I've remembered a lot lately)
  1263. Umm, Mirai...
  1264. There's a new unit song next month, so I thought I should practice!
  1265. Mirai!
  1266.  
  1267. I have something important to say.
  1268. After changing, can you come to the upper waiting room?
  1269.  
  1270. I'll be waiting...
  1271.  
  1272. Side Note: Mirai: I bring a folding umbrella! But I lose them so quickly...ehehe.
  1273. Shizuka: I bring one. I do leave an umbrella around just in case...but someone usually borrows it...
  1274.  
  1275. ---
  1276. 6
  1277.  
  1278. Starting from scratch?
  1279.  
  1280. W-what? Like a unit debut? But there's a new song, and... Huh? Huh? Huh?
  1281. First let's calm down.
  1282.  
  1283. As explained, this is a something that Shizuka chose, as as a production, we can't afford to miss this chance.
  1284.  
  1285. ...
  1286. Until the final live at the Budokan, for about a half month, Shizuka will be focused on working on this project.
  1287.  
  1288. Side Note: Minako - Customers are slow to come on rainy days~ ...Oh, this is about my family's restaurant!
  1289. Arisa - On particularly rainy days, I put my hair up into a bun! Humidity is my enemy, after all!
  1290.  
  1291. ---
  1292. 7
  1293.  
  1294. Of course, this doesn't mean that you two will be doing nothing.
  1295. Actually, you would be picking up Shizuka's part for Theater work.
  1296.  
  1297. Producer-san, is Shizuka-san the only one chosen for this~?
  1298.  
  1299. About that, the sponsors choose.
  1300.  
  1301. Due to the circumstances of you three, it was decided to start from scratch and when it's calmed down, we'll let you know.
  1302.  
  1303. Side Note: Umi - At times like that, you leave the umbrella behind and run out! Huh, you don't?
  1304.  
  1305. ---
  1306. 8
  1307.  
  1308. Until then, I'd like you three...
  1309.  
  1310. To build up as much experience as you can.
  1311.  
  1312. ---
  1313. 9
  1314.  
  1315. Side Note: What job do you pick in a RPG?
  1316.  
  1317. ---
  1318. 10
  1319.  
  1320. Mirai...
  1321. You were over here?
  1322. Shizuka-chan.
  1323.  
  1324. You clothes will get dirty sleeping there.
  1325. There's a jersey laid out for that.
  1326.  
  1327. What about Tsubasa?
  1328. Well,
  1329. Her older brother came to pick her off and she left. Though I still need to talk to her about some things.
  1330. I see.
  1331.  
  1332. Side Note: Tsubasa - Something like what Miki-senpai was wearing before... Oh, and maybe a dancer's outfit (music note)
  1333. ---
  1334.  
  1335. Hey! Today's stage has a pretty set, doesn't it?
  1336. Huh? Yeah...
  1337.  
  1338. Roco-chan made that round one. It's supposed to be some kind of planet.
  1339.  
  1340. And I helped make the stars attached to the walls. The mini-live next week is going with a starry sky theme, so everyone said we could just keep them...
  1341.  
  1342. Mirai, I...
  1343. Shizuka-chan...
  1344.  
  1345. Side Note: Karen - I-I can't do something like fighting, so... A mage, or support to...h-help heal everyone.
  1346. Nao - Keeping it simple as a knight... Actually, a thief sounds fun, too. ...Ah, I can't decide!
  1347.  
  1348. ---
  1349. 11
  1350.  
  1351. Congratulations on the Budokan performance.
  1352.  
  1353. You did say that it was your dream to sing there.
  1354. I remembered it properly.
  1355.  
  1356. Your dream might be coming true, you're pretty amazing, Shizuka-chan.
  1357.  
  1358. Side Note: Miya - Well~ I'd like to be a sage~ Going to see through everything~ Ufufu
  1359.  
  1360. ---
  1361. 12
  1362.  
  1363. But, are you alright with that?
  1364. I broke the promise, after all.
  1365.  
  1366. Units can be made whenever!
  1367. Let's do it next year! Yeah!
  1368.  
  1369. And I'm happier seeing your dream come true!
  1370. Because I'm idol Mogami Shizuka's fan!
  1371.  
  1372. Stand up, Shizuka-chan.
  1373. Yeah...
  1374.  
  1375. ---
  1376. 13
  1377.  
  1378. Ah! An alpaca on the second story!
  1379. No way!?
  1380.  
  1381. Mirai~!
  1382. Ahaha! Your face is scary!
  1383. Idols are supposed to smile!
  1384.  
  1385. Mirai.
  1386.  
  1387. Side Note: Matsuri - Ho? Hime is a princess in every world. I'd like a hero to come rescue me.
  1388.  
  1389. ---
  1390. 14
  1391.  
  1392. I'll definitely make it to the Budokan.
  1393. So in the meantime, please handle my part at the Theater...
  1394.  
  1395. Yeah, I'll do my best!
  1396. I'm not a newcomer anymore!
  1397.  
  1398. Leave the Theater to me and make your dream come true.
  1399.  
  1400. To those members that were chosen, welcome.
  1401. I am Haijima, the producer of this project.
  1402.  
  1403. ---
  1404. 15
  1405.  
  1406. You all are idols that have stood out to me from your productions.
  1407. Have confidence in yourselves and participate in this project.
  1408.  
  1409. Starting from noon,　even the boardinghouse will have cameras, so act accordingly. Let's reassemble after changing!
  1410. Read the signs for room divisions.
  1411.  
  1412. (The rooms are pretty clean!)
  1413. (Wonder what we'll do in the lessons)
  1414.  
  1415. Hey, is that the girl in the photo?
  1416. Probably, it says 765 Pro, after all.
  1417.  
  1418. ---
  1419. 16
  1420.  
  1421. Huh, first time I've seen her outside of the Fest's photograph. (Does she have a solo song?)
  1422. Good thing it rained, huh. Singing while wet is more moving, right?
  1423. Maybe it'll rain again for this.
  1424. Ahaha, the recording's going to be at a studio.
  1425.  
  1426. Come to think of it, 765 Pro only has one participating?
  1427. They have a lot of new members, they're probably doing nothing~
  1428.  
  1429. ---
  1430. 17
  1431.  
  1432. The center?
  1433.  
  1434. ---
  1435. 18
  1436.  
  1437. Yeah, for the December regular live. The unit debut may have been delayed, but I'd like for you to be the center for all of the songs.
  1438. Mirai would be next to you and act as your support.
  1439.  
  1440. (Center)
  1441. (Support)
  1442.  
  1443. Let me know if there's any songs or production settings you'd like.
  1444. Okay! I don't want to be the center!
  1445.  
  1446. W-what!? It's the center position! The center, you know! Do you understand that!?
  1447. I at least known something like that~
  1448.  
  1449. But what I want to do now is something different.
  1450. Way in the back on the very edge, I'd like that~
  1451.  
  1452. ---
  1453. 19
  1454.  
  1455. ... Can you explain why?
  1456.  
  1457. ...At the idol fest,
  1458. There was our stage, and Shizuka-chan's as well, right~?
  1459.  
  1460. Producer-san, which stage performance do you think won?
  1461.  
  1462. I can't speak of winners or losers about that,
  1463. But what do you think?
  1464.  
  1465. I thought "Oh, we lost".
  1466.  
  1467. For the first time...
  1468.  
  1469. ---
  1470. 20
  1471.  
  1472. But in exchange,
  1473. I realized something at that performance.
  1474.  
  1475. When I watched Juliano by watching over my shoulder,
  1476.  
  1477. Everything spread out before my eyes.
  1478. I never knew how wide the stage was behind me before.
  1479.  
  1480. So I'd like to have a proper look, at the very back edge of it.
  1481. I want to sing onstage while looking at everyone.
  1482.  
  1483. ---
  1484. 21
  1485.  
  1486. If I do, I'll...
  1487. Be able to enjoy the stage even more.
  1488.  
  1489. ...Can't I?
  1490.  
  1491. ...Tsubasa.
  1492.  
  1493. This is where it starts.
  1494. Huh? From where~?
  1495.  
  1496. Just something from me.
  1497. (Expanding sight, huh...)
  1498. While that's under consideration, what should be done about the center...
  1499.  
  1500. ---
  1501. 22
  1502.  
  1503. Here!
  1504.  
  1505. That center position,
  1506. I would like to do it!
  1507.  
  1508. Shizuka-san said so.
  1509.  
  1510. ---
  1511. 23
  1512.  
  1513. Entrusted me with the Theater.
  1514. So I want to try even harder to do so!
  1515.  
  1516. The center position is an important role that controls the atmosphere of the live.
  1517. If you truly intend to do your best, then I'll look forward to a Mirai-like regular live from you.
  1518.  
  1519. ---
  1520. 24
  1521.  
  1522. (Fall Summer Festival - 2nd Night)
  1523.  
  1524. Mirai-cha~n.
  1525.  
  1526. Miya-chan!
  1527.  
  1528. [Softening]
  1529.  
  1530. It's almost time for standby~
  1531. (Yeah!)
  1532. Are you ready~?
  1533. Yes, perfectly!
  1534.  
  1535. ...(Alright!)
  1536.  
  1537. ---
  1538.  
  1539. Come to think of it, you're the center for the live coming up next month~ What a go-getter~
  1540. Ehehe!
  1541.  
  1542. The Theater members have been always helping me since I joined,
  1543. Like Konomi-san, Tsubasa, Nao-chan, Anna, Serika, Minako and the others...
  1544.  
  1545. So in return, I want to become of use to everyone as the center!
  1546. For Shizuka-chan, too, who's working so hard!
  1547.  
  1548. Shizuka-san.
  1549.  
  1550. Oh, Haijima-san! W-what is the matter? About the recording earlier...
  1551. [P saying pixels]
  1552. Yes, it's about that?
  1553.  
  1554. ---
  1555.  
  1556. You ended your MC part pretty early than your allotted time. Why was that?
  1557.  
  1558. I'm sorry about that. I...
  1559.  
  1560. Are you underestimating the talk session? Confident in your singing? Did you think you could win without any appeals?
  1561.  
  1562. Huh?
  1563. No, I didn't-
  1564.  
  1565. Do you not understand the point of this project?
  1566.  
  1567. What I want is someone reliable at all times...
  1568. Standing out, shining brilliantly...
  1569. An idol that will win.
  1570.  
  1571. Girls that don't understand will all be dropped before coming to the Budokan.
  1572.  
  1573. ---
  1574.  
  1575. These members aren't comrades, they're all rivals.
  1576. You need to defeat them to continue.
  1577.  
  1578. That's how you got this far, right?
  1579. Congratulations on the selection.
  1580.  
  1581. ...Yes.
  1582.  
  1583. I'll be careful from now on.
  1584. Yeah, looking forward to it. My life's on the line as well.
  1585. Kadokura-san, please come over here.
  1586.  
  1587. ---
  1588.  
  1589. I'm happier seeing your dream come true.
  1590. You need to defeat them to continue.
  1591.  
  1592. Haijima-san isn't wrong. I chose my dream over my promise with Mirai.
  1593.  
  1594. ---
  1595.  
  1596. My, dream...
  1597.  
  1598. The side of your face, illuminated by the stars,
  1599. I look up at the sky feeling it near me.
  1600.  
  1601. *Hitomi no Naka no Sirius (The Sirius in Your Eyes)*
  1602.  
  1603. On the other side of the words you chose,
  1604. Your true voice reaching my ears,
  1605.  
  1606. The reason behind that kind smile,
  1607. So sad and lovely,
  1608.  
  1609. ---
  1610.  
  1611. It keeps overflowing, the shining Sirius in your eyes.
  1612. As it glistens, the night sky twinkles.
  1613.  
  1614. As it comes apart, my heart flutters like a shooting star.
  1615.  
  1616. ---
  1617.  
  1618. I'll accept it,
  1619. So it's alright now.
  1620.

  1630. Thank you very much.
  1631.  
  1632. ---
  1633.  
  1634. The figure that I've always looked up to and followed.
  1635.  
  1636. Please accept these transmitted feelings,
  1637. Because now is our "dream", after all...
  1638.

  1647.  
  1648. Phew~ She really did it. Let's go celebrate today! (Though the person in question isn't here)
  1649.  
  1650. Nao-chan...
  1651.  
  1652. I'm so happy for heeeer! (sniff)
  1653. Your nose is dripping!
  1654.  
  1655. Oh! I should call her!
  1656. And say congratulations...
  1657.  
  1658. Mirai, this is live.
  1659. Oh.
  1660.  
  1661. ---
  1662.  
  1663. My goal? It's to be top idol, of course! It was my dream from a young age, and...
  1664.  
  1665. I'll just send a text.
  1666.  
  1667. Shizuka-chan - Congratulations on being chosen to be in the Budokan live! I saw it with others at the Theater.
  1668.  
  1669. (Mail Log - Mirai Haishima-sanx2 Producer)
  1670.  
  1671. Christmas day is when our performance is set, so I can't see you live, but let's both do our best!
  1672.  
  1673. ---
  1674.  
  1675. Preparations for the December performance are going well. Tomorrow is an all-member practice session with Kotoha-chan since I'm the center...
  1676.  
  1677. Haishima-san? Yes, it's Mogami. I'm still at the station...a radio show? Right now?
  1678.  
  1679. Yes, that's alright. I'll head over there now.
  1680.  
  1681. Mirai look at your feet.
  1682. This is eight.
  1683.  
  1684. It goes to seven,
  1685. Six,
  1686.  
  1687. ---
  1688.  
  1689. Five, four, three, two, one, and...
  1690.  
  1691. At the very center, zero.
  1692.  
  1693. This is where the center stands.
  1694. The center!
  1695.  
  1696. ---
  1697.  
  1698. The center feels a little special, after all! (Zero!)
  1699. That's right, they serve as the model for the other and lead them along. It takes some work, but do your best!
  1700.  
  1701. Kotoha's the top in the times she's served as the center! (Nyahaha)
  1702. Ask her if you have any questions, 'kay?
  1703. You should try it sometime, too!
  1704. (I'll pass)
  1705.  
  1706. Alright, let's start practice! Starting off with "Thank You!"
  1707.  
  1708. Side Note : What would you do if you could use magic?
  1709.  
  1710. ---
  1711.  
  1712. Side Note: Shizuka - If I could use magic...! ...No, I want to achieve my dreams with my own power.
  1713. Mirai - I'd whip up a looot of fresh cream, and...dehehe (music note) All I can eat~
  1714.  
  1715. ---
  1716.  
  1717.  
  1718. ---
  1719.  
  1720. Stop! Pause it for now!
  1721.  
  1722. Mirai, what's the matter?
  1723. You looked kind of restless. Did you totally blank out on the choreography?
  1724. Oh..
  1725. Umm, huh?
  1726.  
  1727. Sorry, I think I just spaced out! (One more time!)
  1728. Counting on you, center!
  1729. Alright everyone, back to your positions to start from the top!
  1730.  
  1731. Side Note: Tsubasa - Of course, I'd make it so that I'd have a super popular happy life~! (music note) About the specifics...I dunno!
  1732.  
  1733. ---
  1734.  
  1735. ...Huh?
  1736.  
  1737. ---
  1738.  
  1739. Was the stage always this empty?
  1740.  
  1741. ---
  1742.  
  1743. Thank you for your work today.
  1744.  
  1745. Likewise, looks like it's going smoothly.
  1746. Thank you, Haijima-san.
  1747.  
  1748. Side Note: Arisa - A magical girl idol...if, if that happens, then maybe Arisa could become a super idol-chan, too!?
  1749. Akane - Actually, Akane-chan can already do magic! Taking everyone's hearts prisoner, a magic of love...
  1750.  
  1751. ---
  1752.  
  1753. (Let's see) For today, after this...you're off, right? Have any plans?
  1754. Yes, I was planning to go to my production's theater since it's been a while.
  1755.  
  1756. I'd like to see my friends' faces for a bit.
  1757.  
  1758. That doesn't sound particularly important,
  1759. So cancel those plans and go here.
  1760.  
  1761. Umm, what is...
  1762. A ticket to a live. You're young, so you should learn from watching the best.
  1763.  
  1764. I'll call a taxi, but you can go it alone, right?
  1765. Haijima-san, I...
  1766.  
  1767. It's for your sake.
  1768.  
  1769. You understand, right?
  1770.  
  1771. ---
  1772.  
  1773. Father, listen to me. I really do want to become an idol...
  1774. I told you "no", did I not?
  1775.  
  1776. You can be an idol until your entrance examinations...Understood? It's for your sake.
  1777. Mogami-san?
  1778.  
  1779. ...No, it's nothing.
  1780.  
  1781. ---
  1782.  
  1783. ...
  1784.  
  1785. ---
  1786.  
  1787. I did nothing but mess up at training earlier.
  1788.  
  1789. I'm the center part, and I said I'd work hard to cover Shizuka-chan's share as well, but like it is now...
  1790.  
  1791. No, rather than getting depressed, I should drill in these steps!
  1792. I'm dancing in the front, after all! I need to be the example for everyone else!
  1793.  
  1794. Side Note: What do you do the first thing in the morning?
  1795.  
  1796. ---
  1797.  
  1798. Okay, with big movements and following the rhythm,
  1799. 1, 2, 3, 4! (Nice smile!)
  1800.  
  1801. From here, you fall back and move to the edge...
  1802. Turn two times, then a big jump...
  1803. One, two, face forward!
  1804. And pose!
  1805.  
  1806. Side Note: Nao - I check the time! For some reason, my alarm clock broke, and was stopped when I realized it...
  1807.  
  1808. ---
  1809.  
  1810. I did it...
  1811.  
  1812. ...
  1813.  
  1814. Mirai, where you went...
  1815.  
  1816. ---
  1817.  
  1818. That's not the very center...
  1819.  
  1820. ---
  1821.  
  1822. Mirai's acting oddly?
  1823.  
  1824. Her mistakes being numerous isn't out of the ordinary,
  1825. But it doesn't feel very Mirai-like.
  1826. There's no general behind her dances and singing, and she doesn't notice what's around her...
  1827.  
  1828. After thinking about it, it started since last month.
  1829. After she sang "Hitomi no Naka no Sirius" at the music fest live...
  1830.  
  1831. I didn't pay it much mind because everyone gets overcome with emotion at lives,
  1832. But it stood out to me, and... (Mirai cries easily, too)
  1833.  
  1834. Side Note: Hmm...~ First I check my cell phone! Then I wash my face, choose my clothes, do makeup...mornings are busy~
  1835. Kotoha - I check the schedule for the day. Then I reply to everyone's texts...
  1836.  
  1837. ---
  1838.  
  1839. Probably, she's forcing herself too much.
  1840.  
  1841. I didn't really want to say this,
  1842. But maybe it's too early for her to be the center?
  1843.  
  1844. The center, huh...
  1845. There are many different types of centers.
  1846.  
  1847. Huh?
  1848. (Types?)
  1849. Uh, I guess.
  1850.  
  1851. Those with overwhelming charisma that take absolute command,
  1852. And those that exhibit leadership qualities that brings together and directs others.
  1853.  
  1854. However, all centers have one thing in common.
  1855.  
  1856. What would that be?
  1857.  
  1858. ---
  1859.  
  1860. That there are members around them that accept them. There is nobody who can be the center all by themselves.
  1861.  
  1862. Maybe I'm not cut out for being the center...
  1863.  
  1864. For some reason...I can't spring back up...
  1865.  
  1866. Side Note: Momoko - I change from my pajamas, wash my face, brush my teeth...personal grooming needs to be done properly!
  1867.  
  1868. ---
  1869.  
  1870. Found...you, Mirai.
  1871.  
  1872. Nao-chan.
  1873.  
  1874. What's this all of a sudden!?
  1875. Listen, Mirai...
  1876. I'm not that bright in the head, but I keep my eyes on everyone in my own way.
  1877.  
  1878. This won't work out at this rate, you need to meet up and talk.
  1879.  
  1880. Side Note: Konomi - I drink a cup of room temperature water. Rio-chan told me about it, it wakes you right up!
  1881.  
  1882. ---
  1883.  
  1884. Mirai...
  1885.  
  1886. Shizuka-chan?
  1887. What about work? Is it alright?
  1888.  
  1889. I was able to get a bit of free time.
  1890.  
  1891. Sorry for not responding enough on the phone and not showing up recently. Have you been doing alright? How's Tsubasa?
  1892. Yeah, we're great! Me and Tsubasa!
  1893. (Tsubasa's been really into lessons lately!)
  1894. (R-really?)
  1895.  
  1896. ---
  1897.  
  1898. I heard you weren't doing too well lately.
  1899.  
  1900. What!? N-no way! (Doing great!)
  1901. From your eyes, it's pretty obvious.
  1902.  
  1903. As the center, I need to help out the others and do it properly, but it's not going well.
  1904. I see.
  1905.  
  1906. You should act like yourself! Even as the center, I think you'll be alright if you don't think too hard and sing as you usually do.
  1907.  
  1908. Act like myself, huh! I see!
  1909. That's right! Acting all energetic and rough around the edges is what's good about you...
  1910.  
  1911. ---
  1912.  
  1913. Mirai, you're crying...
  1914. ! No, this is...
  1915. The wind just blew something in,
  1916.  
  1917. I'm fine...
  1918.  
  1919. ...It's my fault after all, huh.
  1920.  
  1921. ---
  1922.  
  1923. I did break our promise.
  1924. No...! That's not right!
  1925. I really was happy.
  1926.  
  1927. I wanted you to achieve your dreams...
  1928. Because I'm a friend and...a fan.
  1929.  
  1930. You're lying! You wouldn't be crying like that if that were true.
  1931. Don't hide it just by saying you're a fan! Let me hear what the idol Mirai feels!
  1932.  
  1933. ---
  1934.  
  1935. ...I didn't want you to go...
  1936.  
  1937. I knew how important of a dream the Budokan was to you,
  1938. But really, I...
  1939. I wanted to have the three of us onstage more than that.
  1940.  
  1941. ...
  1942. I'm sorry.
  1943.  
  1944. ...Because,
  1945. Because I don't understand.
  1946. Hey, Shizuka-chan...why?
  1947.  
  1948. ---
  1949.  
  1950. Is going to the Budokan something you have to do now?
  1951.  
  1952. If it's you, you'll definitely get another chance!
  1953. You said it, right? There's plenty of time.
  1954. So for now, just skip it this time, and I...I...
  1955.  
  1956. Time...
  1957.  
  1958. There is time. But that's for your case. This is something I can only do now, and I have to do it...
  1959. It's already too late. This is what I decided to do.
  1960.  
  1961. I don't understand that, what do you mean?
  1962. I'm sorry for now telling you until now...
  1963.  
  1964. ---
  1965.  
  1966. When entrance examinations start,
  1967. I'm going to stop being an idol.
  1968.  
  1969. I promised my father.
  1970. So my only chance to fulfill my dream is this moment.
  1971.  
  1972. No way...
  1973. If you had told me, then I'd do...
  1974. Something...
  1975.  
  1976. There's nothing you could have done.
  1977.  
  1978. ---
  1979.  
  1980. I'm jealous of you, Mirai...
  1981. Because you'll surely become an amazing idol one day.
  1982.  
  1983. And when I become an average adult, I'd be able to watch that amazing Mirai on television.
  1984.  
  1985. ---
  1986.  
  1987. I'm sorry, Mirai, I need to head back...
  1988.  
  1989. Liar.
  1990.  
  1991. ---
  1992.  
  1993. I'm not lying. I just didn't want to say it.
  1994.  
  1995. Shizuka-chan, you're still not speaking the truth.
  1996.  
  1997. Don't say what you're not thinking with that...face that's so close to tears.
  1998.  
  1999. I've always been watching...
  2000. The smile when you sing, your serious face, too,
  2001. When you hold it all in because you don't want to lose...
  2002.  
  2003. ---
  2004.  
  2005. When you're really! When you're really the one that loves idols the most out of everyone!
  2006.  
  2007. Say it, you coward!
  2008. What are your true feelings!?
  2009.  
  2010. ---
  2011.  
  2012. ...I don't want to
  2013. Stop being an idol...
  2014.  
  2015. I don't want to stop,
  2016. I want to keep being an idol together with you...
  2017.  
  2018. ---
  2019.  
  2020. It resonates in the chilly air, the girls' (idols') true thoughts (melody). Will a miracle occur on Christmas Eve!? Next issue, from the ultimate live!
  2021.
