1
00:01:34,302 --> 00:01:36,638
Well-kept silky hair.
2
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:41,059
A baby face that screams innocence.
3
00:01:41,893 --> 00:01:44,270
Her innate airheaded personality.
4
00:01:45,104 --> 00:01:46,523
It's true…
5
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:49,484
According to my long experience
in following idols,
6
00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:53,279
these types of girls gain popularity
from hardcore otakus like crazy!
7
00:01:53,363 --> 00:01:55,532
Your perspective
and analysis are disturbing.
8
00:01:56,282 --> 00:01:59,869
If she'll get popular, then great.
Why don't you try scouting her?
9
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:02,038
Well, you're right, but…
10
00:02:02,664 --> 00:02:06,626
You know how Loli senpai and my
destinies are entwined?
11
00:02:06,709 --> 00:02:07,544
You do?
12
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:11,548
I mean, doesn't she have
like a bad attitude toward me?
13
00:02:11,631 --> 00:02:14,551
Isn't that because you keep saying
"baking soda"?
14
00:02:14,634 --> 00:02:18,513
Anyhow, I'll message her to meet up,
so at least try talking to her.
15
00:02:18,596 --> 00:02:22,183
If you still think you can't get along,
then you can forget it.
16
00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:26,437
KANA ARIMA'S ACTING
STANDS OUT FROM THE REST
17
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:32,360
THE STALKER WAS CREEPY
BUT HE WAS SO GOOD-LOOKING
18
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,704
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU AFTER SCHOOL
19
00:02:46,249 --> 00:02:47,125
What could it be?
20
00:02:48,167 --> 00:02:51,546
What does he need to talk
to me so urgently about?
21
00:02:52,338 --> 00:02:53,298
Really?
22
00:02:53,882 --> 00:02:55,925
Could it be about…
23
00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:57,010
How troublesome…
24
00:02:57,927 --> 00:02:59,095
Really?
25
00:03:04,017 --> 00:03:05,643
-Sorry for the wait.
-Finally.
26
00:03:05,727 --> 00:03:06,769
What took you so long?
27
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:09,397
Huh? You can wait there forever.
28
00:03:10,231 --> 00:03:12,483
Why is your little sister here too?
29
00:03:12,567 --> 00:03:14,944
Because Ruby's the one
who needs to talk to you.
30
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,115
I regret bracing myself.
31
00:03:19,198 --> 00:03:24,120
So, what is it? I'm busy unlike you,
so keep it under 20 seconds.
32
00:03:24,203 --> 00:03:26,164
What a blatant attitude.
33
00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:29,751
Bro, if I asked her to become an idol now,
34
00:03:29,834 --> 00:03:33,129
that's like me saying that
she's as cute as an idol!
35
00:03:33,212 --> 00:03:35,256
That really gets on my nerves!
36
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:37,091
What's this pride you have?
37
00:03:37,675 --> 00:03:40,261
Don't you want to start
idol activities immediately?
38
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:42,180
Is this the time to be stubborn?
39
00:03:44,641 --> 00:03:47,268
You're right. It's true.
40
00:03:48,645 --> 00:03:49,979
Ms. Kana Arima.
41
00:03:50,647 --> 00:03:53,107
Would you like to become an idol with me?
42
00:03:56,444 --> 00:03:58,488
Idol? Why all of a sudden?
43
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:01,824
There's a project to make a new idol unit
at Ichigo Production.
44
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:04,410
And I'm looking for its members.
45
00:04:04,953 --> 00:04:06,788
I heard you were a freelancer.
46
00:04:06,871 --> 00:04:09,749
Well, to be frank,
this would be a recruitment.
47
00:04:12,335 --> 00:04:14,712
Is this for real?
48
00:04:14,796 --> 00:04:16,714
It's important and for real.
49
00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:21,970
Give me a little time to think about it.
50
00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:25,682
No, there's no way.
51
00:04:25,765 --> 00:04:30,436
If I begin working as an idol,
I'll lose the young actor type of jobs,
52
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,940
and my main work will become
the rapidly changing idol-type jobs.
53
00:04:34,774 --> 00:04:38,486
If I don't become a hit idol,
I lose both jobs.
54
00:04:38,569 --> 00:04:41,406
The risk is too high freelance-wise.
55
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,157
However…
56
00:04:44,325 --> 00:04:45,827
Ruby Hoshino.
57
00:04:45,910 --> 00:04:47,954
I don't know why,
58
00:04:48,037 --> 00:04:52,917
but this girl bears some kind of
resemblance to the genius idol Ai.
59
00:04:54,168 --> 00:04:56,296
I've only worked with Ai once,
60
00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:59,590
but she was meant to become a real star.
61
00:05:00,675 --> 00:05:05,972
My senses as an entertainer
sees potential in this girl.
62
00:05:07,181 --> 00:05:12,645
But Ichigo Production isn't a major agency
and has no record of any new projects.
63
00:05:13,604 --> 00:05:17,525
First of all, I'm not cute enough
to become popular as an idol.
64
00:05:18,776 --> 00:05:21,487
I'm not that foolish
to take a wild gamble.
65
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:22,822
-I'm sorry, but--
-Please.
66
00:05:22,905 --> 00:05:24,073
Kana Arima.
67
00:05:25,658 --> 00:05:27,452
Please become an idol with my sister.
68
00:05:28,786 --> 00:05:31,164
But I'm not that cute--
69
00:05:31,247 --> 00:05:32,206
No, you are cute.
70
00:05:33,583 --> 00:05:36,461
I wouldn't ask you
to become an idol so lightly.
71
00:05:36,544 --> 00:05:39,839
Arima, you're much cuter
than many of those idols out there.
72
00:05:39,922 --> 00:05:43,176
If it's you, I can put my precious sister
under your care.
73
00:05:43,259 --> 00:05:44,677
Uh, but…
74
00:05:44,761 --> 00:05:46,804
Please, become an idol.
75
00:05:46,888 --> 00:05:49,015
-I… I can't!
-Please.
76
00:05:49,098 --> 00:05:50,516
I'm not doing it!
77
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,227
Arima, I'm asking you because I trust you.
78
00:05:53,311 --> 00:05:56,481
Jeez! No matter how many times you ask,
no means no!
79
00:05:56,564 --> 00:05:58,775
I won't ever do it!
80
00:05:59,275 --> 00:06:00,902
KANA ARIMA
81
00:06:01,486 --> 00:06:04,822
Welcome to Ichigo Production.
We're happy to have you onboard.
82
00:06:04,906 --> 00:06:09,911
My brain knows I shouldn't!
So how do I always end up like this?!
83
00:06:09,994 --> 00:06:12,121
Let's work together, Senpai!
84
00:06:12,205 --> 00:06:15,374
I didn't think
you'd really bring her over.
85
00:06:15,458 --> 00:06:17,168
What kind of method did you use?
86
00:06:17,251 --> 00:06:19,629
Nothing special.
Just a personality reading.
87
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:23,591
Kana Arima is very sympathetic
and weak under pressure.
88
00:06:23,674 --> 00:06:27,804
According to her personality, I thought
a sob story or over-pressuring would work,
89
00:06:27,887 --> 00:06:29,263
and sure enough, it did.
90
00:06:29,347 --> 00:06:30,640
You know…
91
00:06:31,224 --> 00:06:34,894
If you keep doing that kind of stuff,
you're gonna get punished someday.
92
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:37,396
Be careful when you walk at night.
93
00:06:38,606 --> 00:06:40,775
I don't think I've done anything bad.
94
00:06:40,858 --> 00:06:41,859
You making fun of me?!
95
00:06:41,943 --> 00:06:44,153
It's not like I lied about anything.
96
00:06:44,779 --> 00:06:45,655
Well…
97
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:49,826
my meaningless title as an ex-genius
child actress has only changed
98
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:53,162
to an ex-genius
child actress idol, that's all.
99
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:56,707
Either way, I did need a boost
one way or another.
100
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:59,460
You're so desperate
to convince yourself of reality.
101
00:06:59,544 --> 00:07:00,378
Besides,
102
00:07:01,087 --> 00:07:05,424
if I join the same agency as him,
we'll be able to work together more.
103
00:07:05,508 --> 00:07:08,427
There could be some kind of skill
I can learn from him.
104
00:07:08,511 --> 00:07:09,512
Really?
105
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:13,474
Hey, doesn't Aqua have
any upcoming jobs or anything?
106
00:07:13,558 --> 00:07:16,436
Umm, well, he does.
107
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:17,979
That's a bitter look…
108
00:07:19,063 --> 00:07:20,022
This.
109
00:07:20,815 --> 00:07:22,191
What?
110
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:24,444
Aqua's dating?!
111
00:07:26,404 --> 00:07:30,366
WE'RE ABOUT TO FALL IN LOVE ♥ FOR REAL
112
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:35,872
A NEW SEASON KICKS OFF
113
00:07:35,955 --> 00:07:40,001
THE START OF A FRESH SEASON OF LOVE
114
00:07:40,084 --> 00:07:44,130
THE SIX PARTICIPATING MEMBERS
THIS TIME ARE…
115
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,591
Hello!
116
00:07:47,175 --> 00:07:50,553
Um, I'm Yuki Sumi.
I'm a 1st year in high school.
117
00:07:50,636 --> 00:07:52,054
She has a nice style!
118
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:54,432
She looks good from head to toe.
119
00:07:55,099 --> 00:07:57,894
I'm Nobuyuki Kumano. I'm good at dancing.
120
00:07:59,896 --> 00:08:01,772
NOBUYUKI KUMANO
DANCER - 2ND YEAR
121
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:05,318
I'm Akane Kurokawa,
a 2nd year in high school. I'm an actress.
122
00:08:05,401 --> 00:08:06,944
Ugh, there she is.
123
00:08:07,028 --> 00:08:07,904
Oh, you know her?
124
00:08:07,987 --> 00:08:09,864
Well, yeah…
125
00:08:09,947 --> 00:08:13,743
I'm Mem-cho, a 3rd year in high school.
I stream on YouTube!
126
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:15,328
Nice to meet you!
127
00:08:15,411 --> 00:08:17,246
So these types appear too, huh.
128
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:18,789
She's so cute!
129
00:08:19,790 --> 00:08:23,419
I'm Kengo Morimoto. I'm in a band.
Nice meeting everyone.
130
00:08:25,421 --> 00:08:27,298
KENGO MORIMOTO
MUSICIAN - 3RD YEAR
131
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:29,842
Oh, what year are you?
132
00:08:29,926 --> 00:08:30,885
Second year.
133
00:08:30,968 --> 00:08:31,844
Third year.
134
00:08:32,386 --> 00:08:33,763
I see.
135
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:36,849
So high schoolers who work in showbiz
136
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:40,102
deepen their relationships
through various events on weekends.
137
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:44,607
And you get to see who gets together
or not at the end of the show.
138
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:49,028
Since this is Producer Kaburagi's program,
everybody has a pretty face.
139
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:51,614
Oh, it's Bro.
140
00:08:51,697 --> 00:08:56,619
I'm Aqua. I'm getting super nervous.
Everyone, nice to meet you!
141
00:08:57,203 --> 00:08:58,579
Who the hell is that?!
142
00:08:58,663 --> 00:09:01,666
Bro's usually the dark type
who emits a negative aura!
143
00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:02,959
He's totally a poser!
144
00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:05,503
Wow, so cool!
145
00:09:05,586 --> 00:09:07,838
I admire actors!
146
00:09:07,922 --> 00:09:12,593
Agh, my brother's hard on
these types of girls who act cutesy.
147
00:09:12,677 --> 00:09:13,970
So this girl's out.
148
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:17,557
Mem-cho, you're cute too.
You're making me really blush.
149
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,016
Huh? Drop dead.
150
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,893
What's with him?!
151
00:09:20,977 --> 00:09:24,981
He told me that I was cute
only when I was being recruited!
152
00:09:25,064 --> 00:09:27,608
He's getting carried away
being surrounded by women.
153
00:09:27,692 --> 00:09:29,277
I'll have to lecture him later.
154
00:09:29,860 --> 00:09:31,946
So my brother's just a wolf after all.
155
00:09:32,029 --> 00:09:34,782
This is what happens as soon
as men find some easy prey.
156
00:09:34,865 --> 00:09:38,160
Calm down, you two. This is all for show.
157
00:09:38,869 --> 00:09:41,998
If he doesn't act that way,
the show wouldn't hold up, right?
158
00:09:42,081 --> 00:09:46,669
Though I understand seeing a familiar guy
flirting with other women is irritating.
159
00:09:47,503 --> 00:09:49,130
Aqua is an actor too.
160
00:09:49,213 --> 00:09:53,050
I'm sure he's probably there knowing
that he has to act out a guy like that.
161
00:09:53,134 --> 00:09:54,010
Acting…
162
00:09:54,093 --> 00:09:55,177
I know that, but…
163
00:09:56,137 --> 00:10:00,516
Don't they actually ask each other out
and become couples at the end?
164
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,059
That's right.
165
00:10:02,143 --> 00:10:05,521
Even if it's an act,
they'll have to go through with it.
166
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:08,899
If they do become a couple,
don't they kiss and stuff?
167
00:10:08,983 --> 00:10:10,776
That's how it usually goes.
168
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:15,448
Why did he accept a show like this?
169
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,659
If you're going to continue
as an actress too,
170
00:10:18,743 --> 00:10:21,621
scenes with kissing and the sort
will eventually be demanded.
171
00:10:21,704 --> 00:10:24,415
You have to accept that
as part of the job.
172
00:10:24,498 --> 00:10:29,712
If you keep prudish views in this field,
it's going to weigh you down later.
173
00:10:30,588 --> 00:10:32,298
I know that, but…
174
00:10:33,007 --> 00:10:35,676
-So, this is my dog!
-Uh-huh.
175
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,263
See? Cute, huh? Look!
176
00:10:39,347 --> 00:10:41,057
Uh-huh, so cute.
177
00:10:42,016 --> 00:10:43,267
What a drag.
178
00:10:43,893 --> 00:10:47,772
It's tough having these empty
conversations where all I can do is agree…
179
00:10:47,855 --> 00:10:49,732
Why do I have to put up with this?
180
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:52,401
If you go on this show for me,
181
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:55,946
I'll tell you a deep inside story
that Ai's agency doesn't even know.
182
00:10:56,030 --> 00:11:00,159
That itself could be
about Ai's relationships with men.
183
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,371
I'll just have to go through with it.
184
00:11:03,454 --> 00:11:06,123
So I can get information about Ai
from Producer Kaburagi.
185
00:11:06,749 --> 00:11:11,087
That should become a clue
to finding our father.
186
00:11:12,588 --> 00:11:14,673
This is how the show flows…
187
00:11:14,757 --> 00:11:18,636
Uh, we don't mind if everyone talks
freely with each other.
188
00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:22,598
However, just be careful
of the static camera angles please.
189
00:11:23,432 --> 00:11:26,018
When the cameraman closes up,
if it's possible,
190
00:11:26,102 --> 00:11:30,940
it would help us if you could recap
the conversation you were just having.
191
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:31,857
Okay!
192
00:11:31,941 --> 00:11:34,819
The history of reality dating shows have
reached 20 years,
193
00:11:34,902 --> 00:11:37,613
so its know-how has been built up
to some degree.
194
00:11:37,696 --> 00:11:40,783
While guaranteeing
its entertainment side of the program,
195
00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:44,328
there are ways to stage reality
based on the individuals' personalities.
196
00:11:44,412 --> 00:11:47,957
Um, am I doing this okay?
197
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,960
Uh, I think that's fine at first.
198
00:11:51,043 --> 00:11:56,966
Next time, if you can close the distance
a bit and chat, that would help.
199
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:59,135
Since the audience wants excitement too.
200
00:11:59,218 --> 00:12:00,553
I see…
201
00:12:01,303 --> 00:12:04,557
So these shows really don't have a script.
202
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,351
I don't know what to talk about at all.
203
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:08,519
I know!
204
00:12:09,353 --> 00:12:11,480
Reality shows don't have a script.
205
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:14,316
But the staging exists.
206
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,446
It's up to us to take the director's
words as advice or directions.
207
00:12:19,029 --> 00:12:23,742
I'm a scaredy cat and not aggressive.
Nor am I good at talking.
208
00:12:23,826 --> 00:12:25,661
So I bet I'm just gonna fade out.
209
00:12:26,287 --> 00:12:28,622
Why did you take on this job?
210
00:12:28,706 --> 00:12:33,210
Our agency's star is the type
to never decline jobs.
211
00:12:33,294 --> 00:12:37,882
That person takes all the jobs that
come in, so I'm bored all year round.
212
00:12:37,965 --> 00:12:40,050
So I kind of wanted to fight my way out.
213
00:12:40,134 --> 00:12:42,219
That's when Mr. Kaburagi…
214
00:12:42,303 --> 00:12:43,179
Ah.
215
00:12:43,262 --> 00:12:47,600
It was perfect since I never dated much
until now anyway.
216
00:12:47,683 --> 00:12:48,601
Liar.
217
00:12:48,684 --> 00:12:51,270
Hey, it's not a lie.
218
00:12:51,353 --> 00:12:53,272
I'm still a 1st year in high school.
219
00:12:53,355 --> 00:12:57,610
If you think we're all dating just because
we're an entertainer, you're wrong.
220
00:12:58,194 --> 00:13:00,196
Don't you have any interest in dating?
221
00:13:00,696 --> 00:13:03,616
Of course I do. I am a guy after all.
222
00:13:04,533 --> 00:13:08,787
But, I can't get over an old crush…
223
00:13:09,413 --> 00:13:13,667
No, come to think of it,
I don't even know if that was a crush.
224
00:13:14,335 --> 00:13:17,546
I haven't fully gotten over it yet,
so I can't really say…
225
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:20,758
Hm? It's complicated?
226
00:13:20,841 --> 00:13:24,094
Oh, like you had a crush on your teacher?
227
00:13:24,178 --> 00:13:25,471
That's pretty close.
228
00:13:26,347 --> 00:13:28,682
Then you'll need to overcome that.
229
00:13:29,558 --> 00:13:30,392
Did you know?
230
00:13:31,060 --> 00:13:34,605
Last season's couple kissed at the end!
231
00:13:34,688 --> 00:13:37,608
Yeah. I did do my research.
232
00:13:38,192 --> 00:13:41,237
I was worried
if there would be any good guys…
233
00:13:41,862 --> 00:13:44,782
but I may be able to kiss if it's you.
234
00:13:44,865 --> 00:13:45,783
Wha…
235
00:13:46,450 --> 00:13:47,284
Behind me.
236
00:13:47,868 --> 00:13:50,037
The cameraman's filming.
237
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,581
Don't look toward the camera.
238
00:13:53,624 --> 00:13:55,960
This part will surely be used.
239
00:13:56,043 --> 00:13:57,211
Let's get along.
240
00:13:59,296 --> 00:14:02,925
She's got a sly personality.
And she said she's a scaredy cat?
241
00:14:04,552 --> 00:14:07,763
I see, so this is a reality show.
242
00:14:11,934 --> 00:14:14,853
I am your sister supposedly,
243
00:14:14,937 --> 00:14:18,566
so I don't want my brother dating
a type of person that I don't like.
244
00:14:19,233 --> 00:14:23,112
Which is why I am going to choose
who you should date.
245
00:14:23,195 --> 00:14:24,864
How selfish can you be?
246
00:14:24,947 --> 00:14:28,492
My recommendation is… Yuki-pon!
247
00:14:28,576 --> 00:14:31,370
I'm sure this girl is
a good innocent girl!
248
00:14:33,581 --> 00:14:36,667
You're a poor judge of character,
so don't date for a while.
249
00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:37,877
Huh?!
250
00:14:40,421 --> 00:14:42,548
Frill is absent again today.
251
00:14:42,631 --> 00:14:46,260
She did say a shoot
for a new drama started,
252
00:14:46,343 --> 00:14:47,887
so maybe she's busy?
253
00:14:47,970 --> 00:14:49,054
Hm.
254
00:14:49,138 --> 00:14:50,431
What about you, Minami?
255
00:14:50,514 --> 00:14:52,683
I'm going to my shoot after school.
256
00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:55,019
I see…
257
00:14:56,562 --> 00:14:59,189
My brother's at his shoot today too.
258
00:14:59,773 --> 00:15:02,526
Senpai, you're used to
not having work, right?
259
00:15:02,610 --> 00:15:04,403
What do you usually do?
260
00:15:04,486 --> 00:15:07,573
Do you want me to throw a jab
at your chin and shake your brain?
261
00:15:07,656 --> 00:15:09,783
If you're bored, you should study.
262
00:15:09,867 --> 00:15:14,038
Idols are short-term jobs you can barely
survive off of even if you do get popular.
263
00:15:14,121 --> 00:15:18,792
Doing something to get into a good college
will benefit your life more.
264
00:15:18,876 --> 00:15:20,544
That's brutally frank of you…
265
00:15:21,170 --> 00:15:24,006
Isn't there something
I could do right now?
266
00:15:24,089 --> 00:15:26,258
The work of new idols are
267
00:15:26,342 --> 00:15:28,594
just singing and dancing at concert halls.
268
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:31,513
And sometimes accepting jobs
from the media, right?
269
00:15:31,597 --> 00:15:35,559
We don't have any songs
or even a group name yet.
270
00:15:35,643 --> 00:15:38,270
What's there for us to do right now?
271
00:15:39,063 --> 00:15:43,025
We don't have a group name yet,
because you're the one griping about it!
272
00:15:43,108 --> 00:15:46,028
Because it'll become real
if we come up with a name.
273
00:15:46,111 --> 00:15:49,949
I haven't really made up my mind yet
to call myself an idol.
274
00:15:50,032 --> 00:15:52,451
Why not? Idol Kana Arima.
275
00:15:52,534 --> 00:15:53,661
How embarrassing!
276
00:15:53,744 --> 00:15:55,621
A self-proclaimed idol
without any achievements…
277
00:15:55,704 --> 00:15:57,790
How do I explain that to my parents?!
278
00:15:57,873 --> 00:16:00,834
So if you have achieved something,
would you make up your mind?
279
00:16:01,502 --> 00:16:03,587
Then let's achieve something.
280
00:16:04,546 --> 00:16:06,924
What is this cheap camera?
281
00:16:07,007 --> 00:16:09,093
Even if it's cheap, it's enough.
282
00:16:09,843 --> 00:16:12,096
It was the norm for new idols
283
00:16:12,179 --> 00:16:17,351
to pass out flyers or perform joint
concerts until a while ago.
284
00:16:17,434 --> 00:16:19,478
But times have changed.
285
00:16:19,561 --> 00:16:22,481
The center of idol culture
is now on the internet.
286
00:16:22,564 --> 00:16:25,067
This is the most cost-efficient place
to take root.
287
00:16:25,693 --> 00:16:29,279
Let's begin with spreading
your names on the internet.
288
00:16:29,363 --> 00:16:31,031
You mean to become YouTubers?
289
00:16:31,115 --> 00:16:35,703
Yup. If we make regular customers and call
them to concerts, isn't that efficient?
290
00:16:35,786 --> 00:16:37,705
Mrs. Miyako's so smart!
291
00:16:38,288 --> 00:16:41,542
CEO… aren't you
underestimating the internet?
292
00:16:41,625 --> 00:16:44,753
Even if you upload this girl
with nothing but a good face,
293
00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:47,214
we'll only hit a few thousand
subscribers at most.
294
00:16:47,297 --> 00:16:48,257
Say what?
295
00:16:48,340 --> 00:16:51,885
I don't know if we'll hit 10,000
even with my fans.
296
00:16:51,969 --> 00:16:56,056
Since probably only 1% of that
will participate in a real event,
297
00:16:56,140 --> 00:16:58,392
I think it'll be pretty tough.
298
00:16:58,475 --> 00:17:00,728
That's if an amateur tried doing that.
299
00:17:01,437 --> 00:17:04,565
But Ichigo Production's strength
lies within the internet,
300
00:17:04,648 --> 00:17:06,275
we possess many streamers.
301
00:17:06,358 --> 00:17:07,693
We have the know-how.
302
00:17:08,277 --> 00:17:12,990
I just grabbed someone who can help you,
so go learn a lot from him.
303
00:17:13,073 --> 00:17:15,451
Okay, I'll leave the rest to you!
304
00:17:15,534 --> 00:17:17,411
Leave it to me!
305
00:17:19,955 --> 00:17:20,831
It's…
306
00:17:20,914 --> 00:17:23,542
a freak!
307
00:17:23,625 --> 00:17:25,294
Oh, it's Pieyon!
308
00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:26,503
What? Who?!
309
00:17:26,587 --> 00:17:28,589
He's super popular among young kids!
310
00:17:28,672 --> 00:17:32,092
You don't know
the masked fitness YouTuber, Pieyon?!
311
00:17:32,176 --> 00:17:34,053
He's our top seller!
312
00:17:34,136 --> 00:17:37,264
First of all, the "masked fitness" genre
is new to me!
313
00:17:37,848 --> 00:17:40,184
I don't watch YouTube that much.
314
00:17:40,267 --> 00:17:43,145
So this is what strikes
kids' interests nowadays.
315
00:17:43,228 --> 00:17:45,856
We sure live in a distorted society.
316
00:17:45,939 --> 00:17:47,733
How dare you talk like that to Pieyon…
317
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:50,819
Mr. Pieyon, tell her off!
318
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:53,697
The internet is just about
making strong impressions after all.
319
00:17:53,781 --> 00:17:57,659
It's like a mascot business
reusing television schemes…
320
00:17:58,786 --> 00:18:00,412
I make 100 million a year.
321
00:18:00,496 --> 00:18:03,415
I apologize for my foolish words.
322
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:08,587
Listen well. There are several techniques
in order to gain subscribers.
323
00:18:08,670 --> 00:18:09,922
What do you think they are?
324
00:18:10,005 --> 00:18:11,131
Daily uploads!
325
00:18:11,215 --> 00:18:12,883
Original popularity?
326
00:18:12,966 --> 00:18:14,384
Uh-huh, right!
327
00:18:14,968 --> 00:18:19,181
But you two don't have the guts to upload
daily or have original popularity, do you?
328
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:20,557
Brutal.
329
00:18:20,641 --> 00:18:24,895
However, there's a shortcut
to gaining subscribers easily!
330
00:18:24,978 --> 00:18:26,730
We've been waiting, Sensei!
331
00:18:26,814 --> 00:18:28,273
Please tell us!
332
00:18:28,357 --> 00:18:30,692
That is…
333
00:18:32,986 --> 00:18:37,157
Peep, peep! The Pieyon Channel!
334
00:18:37,241 --> 00:18:40,410
So today, we have a collaboration!
335
00:18:40,494 --> 00:18:41,537
COLLABORATION
336
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:43,872
I guess there's an idol unit
at our agency now?
337
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:47,417
They're gonna start one,
so they told me to use them on my channel.
338
00:18:48,001 --> 00:18:50,420
I thought of refusing at first!
339
00:18:50,504 --> 00:18:52,381
But since the CEO insisted…
340
00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:55,008
So let's begin our plan today!
341
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:01,140
Aim for macho muscles!
342
00:19:01,765 --> 00:19:04,852
Even if you peep, don't give up and fight!
343
00:19:05,602 --> 00:19:08,522
Now flutter, muscles!
344
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:12,276
Break out of your shell, muscles!
345
00:19:14,611 --> 00:19:16,613
Pieyon Dance Bootcamp!
346
00:19:16,697 --> 00:19:20,617
If they keep up with me for one hour,
they can show their faces!
347
00:19:25,497 --> 00:19:28,125
Everybody starts with chick muscles!
348
00:19:33,088 --> 00:19:35,090
Be born, new muscles!
349
00:19:35,174 --> 00:19:39,636
Before you start chirping, do it!
350
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,681
You can wear a mask today too! Peep, peep!
351
00:19:42,764 --> 00:19:47,227
This world is survival of the fittest
So do it!
352
00:19:47,311 --> 00:19:49,855
Power is strength!
Let's survive this tough industry!
353
00:19:49,938 --> 00:19:54,651
Sit down, stretch out your legs
And lift your heels.
354
00:19:54,735 --> 00:19:55,569
Keep this position…
355
00:19:55,652 --> 00:19:57,279
This is tough!
356
00:19:57,946 --> 00:20:01,617
Since he claims to be a fitness YouTuber,
he sure makes it tough!
357
00:20:01,700 --> 00:20:05,037
He wants us to dance with this stupid
mask on? Is he trying to kill us?!
358
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:06,747
The pose of the silent cicada!
359
00:20:06,830 --> 00:20:07,664
I need oxygen!
360
00:20:07,748 --> 00:20:09,583
The pose of the insomniac bear!
361
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:10,918
Please think about oxygen!
362
00:20:11,627 --> 00:20:13,003
Why did it turn out this way?
363
00:20:13,086 --> 00:20:15,964
The best way to advertise
is a collaboration after all.
364
00:20:16,048 --> 00:20:19,468
To collaborate with a famous YouTuber
is the quickest way!
365
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:24,097
You'll appear on my channel this time,
but what should we do?
366
00:20:24,181 --> 00:20:28,185
You two are idols after all,
so should we do like a wake-up prank?
367
00:20:28,268 --> 00:20:30,187
Ah, that sounds good.
368
00:20:30,270 --> 00:20:31,230
Huh? But…
369
00:20:31,813 --> 00:20:35,442
If we're told about it beforehand,
it wouldn't be a prank, right?
370
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:38,904
Are you seriously saying that?
371
00:20:38,987 --> 00:20:43,283
What if the crew went to film an idol
waking up and she was sleeping with a guy?
372
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:46,119
Those shows usually
notify the person the day before.
373
00:20:46,203 --> 00:20:47,120
Really?!
374
00:20:48,038 --> 00:20:51,041
But this is our very first job.
375
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:53,794
I don't want to lie.
376
00:20:53,877 --> 00:20:57,047
So it comes down to this?!
This is the extreme opposite!
377
00:20:57,130 --> 00:21:00,384
I can tolerate this because I go jogging,
378
00:21:00,467 --> 00:21:02,928
but for a complete amateur like her…
379
00:21:03,637 --> 00:21:06,306
This is tough!
It's so tough I'm gonna die!
380
00:21:08,642 --> 00:21:10,811
The hatching pose!
381
00:21:20,529 --> 00:21:24,408
Well done! You may take off your masks now
and introduce yourselves!
382
00:21:24,992 --> 00:21:28,370
I belong to Ichigo Production,
I'm Ruby Hoshino.
383
00:21:28,453 --> 00:21:30,872
I'm a self-proclaimed idol!
384
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:32,582
And you!
385
00:21:33,333 --> 00:21:37,045
I'm Kana Arima,
a self-proclaimed idol! Hello!
386
00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:38,922
Yes, yes, I've heard of the name.
387
00:21:39,006 --> 00:21:40,549
Only "heard of"?
388
00:21:41,216 --> 00:21:43,135
But well done.
389
00:21:43,218 --> 00:21:46,638
I was going to edit it
to make it look like it was an hour,
390
00:21:46,722 --> 00:21:48,473
but you two actually did it.
391
00:21:49,057 --> 00:21:51,476
It's not something the audience will see.
392
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,937
But the people on set are always watching,
393
00:21:54,521 --> 00:21:56,148
so I like you two.
394
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:00,819
Oh, I forgot to ask something important!
395
00:22:00,902 --> 00:22:03,613
Do you two have a group name?
396
00:22:03,697 --> 00:22:05,282
Uh…
397
00:22:08,243 --> 00:22:10,746
Just choose whatever you want, Ruby.
398
00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:11,830
You sure?
399
00:22:13,582 --> 00:22:16,460
Um, then our group name is…
400
00:22:16,543 --> 00:22:18,128
B Komachi!
401
00:22:18,211 --> 00:22:21,423
What? Is that okay to use?
402
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:24,885
AFTER MAKING THE B KOMACHI IDOLS
DANCE FOR ONE HOUR…!!
403
00:23:56,810 --> 00:24:01,815
