That guitarist is Wakaba's daughter, isn't she?
Mutsumi-chan, right? She's super cute.
Welcome to the World of Ave Mujica The stage has been prepared for our guests. Let us meet beneath the illuminating moonlight.
Celebrity kids are just built different.
Totally.
Wasn't that Sakiko-chan?
Wow, and they're doing a nationwide tour next?
Soyorin…
Ah, sorry.
Sorry!
Wait for me, Soyorin!
Soyorin----!
"Rikki, what do we do?!"
"Oblivionis is Sakiko-chan!"
"Soyorin is in shock."
Rikki!
What's this about Sakiko?
As I was saying...
At Mujica's show, they unmasked, and I saw Sakiko-chan.
Mutsumi-chan was there too.
And Yahata-san!
Don't tell Tomori.
Huh?
She hung up!
Why did you do that!?
Why can't you think before you act?
Huh? But didn't it go super well?
Look, the notifications are non-stop.
What?
Taking off the masks on the best stage, at the best moment—
Was there any better time than today?
I get what you're trying to say.
But the band first needs a solid foundation—
Hey! You agree with me, right, Umiko?
Wait, you're already leaving?
DISRUPTION's show is in just a few days.
So I'm taking off.
Huhh? What about the afterparty?
Yūtenji-san, I wasn't finished talking.
Since our debut, we're reached the Budokan at record pace.
What is there to fret about?
It's the haste I don't like.
It defeats the entire point of masks.
It might even affect Sumimi's activities.
Ahhh. Sorry, Uiko.
It's fine.
Look, we're trending everywhere!
The number one trend is Ave Mujica.
Second is sumimi.
Then Wakaba.
Ah! Nyamuchi is in there too! Super cool.
A shattered mask cannot be restored.
This is the beginning of the end.
Manipulated and discharged, a soundless sound spreads
Abandoning names
your mosaic is crying
can not, can not, not, not, not deny
An undeniable truth
Entrust it now
to return back
Energy flows in cycles
Yes, in zero gravity now
A symbolic parade
Look up to this moonlit night
'completeness'
Ah, raise the lamp of life
KiLLKiSS judy, KiLLKiSS judu, KiLLKiSS juda
Deceive it
KiLLKiSS judy, KiLLKiSS judu, KiLLKiSS juda
Embrace it
Hey, so defenseless
In beautiful play
people begin to break
How strange it is
Yes, just like this, break apart
(#2 The End Justifies the Means)
Did you hear?
Ave Mujica, right? It really shocked me.
I didn't expect Oblivionis to actually be—
Tomorin.
Good morning.
Find any pretty stones?
Yes.
Did you and Soyo-chan go? To the concert?
Ah—Yesterday's Mujica show?
We went. It was pretty impressive, I'd say?
Anon-chan, did you hear?
They say that Oblivionis is Class B's Togawa-san!
Saki-chan…?
Mujica, right.
That band called Ave Mujica!
Ave Mujica.
Tomorin, are you on duty today?
Oblivionis is the keyboardist. Do you know her, Tomori-chan?
Ehhh— I had no idea!
I wonder if Togawa-san will talk to us?
Let's find her!
Sorry I didn't tell you.
I told Rikki, and she said to keep quiet.
Did an agent scout you?
I didn't know you were in a band!
Saki-chan… in a band.
With Sumimi's Uika-chan too?
What amazing band members!
Sumimi's Uika-chan is also Doloris. That's incredible!
Sorry for not telling. I had to keep it confidential.
Yahata-san isn't here.
She seems to have left right after class.
I wanted to talk to Timoris.
Same here.
Timoris this, Timoris that— it's so annoying.
You're the only one who found me.
Huh? That's what you say, after ditching Misumi-san?
Let those who can talk talk.
Why are you in Sakiko's band?
You know Togawa-san?
What is up with you?
Why are you in a band?
You rejected being in a band with me.
Didn't I tell you not to tell Tomori?!
The whole school is talking about it. How could she not know?
Mutsumi-chan...
Yes, yes! That's Mutsumi-chan!
I didn't recognize her at all!
Even though she's on TV sometimes, right?
Her mom is the actress Minami Mori,
and her dad's that comedian Wakaba, right?
She could have just told us.
She had no reason to tell.
Besides, Mutsumi hates it when people make a fuss about her parents.
Sakiko, on the other hand...
Huh—?
She said it was all Saki-chan's doing.
Soyorin...
All her doing?
Saki-chan created the band...
The scripts and songs, too.
Seriously? Unbelievable...
Saki-chan... back when she was in CRYCHIC,
Ave Mujica Recommended Videos: Ave Mujica Revealed, their true identity!? Nationwide tour PV
she was so warm, so bright.
She even said my lyrics were cries from the heart,
that they were our songs.
But this song...
"I wish you happiness."
It's a cry from a Saki-chan I don't know.
Ah! Ave Mujica!
Amazing! Uika-sama—!
Timoris, from DISRUPTION?
Huh? Wasn't she in NOTORIA?
So Mujica removed their masks.
So jealous of the people who were there.
Wakaba's daughter is so cute!
She's like a doll.
Why—
Why aren't they excited about me at all?
After all the hints in your videos...
who'd still be surprised?
But you're just a normal person, Umiko. Why are you popular?
Uiko and Muuko, I can get. They're already famous.
Because I also have a pretty face.
You got me there.
Still, I really didn't expect Sakiko to be famous as well.
If you're a rich girl, wear better clothes.
Or folk will look down on you.
When we first met,
you didn't fit with the hotel at all.
It made me doubt you.
Let's move on to the main topic.
I updated the schedule for the nationwide tour. Please check it.
Okay—!
On the final day of the tour, we'll debut a new song.
Umiri-chan's schedule is so clear and helpful.
You flatter me.
Wow!
So many TV and magazine interviews!
Unmasking was definitely the right decision.
Whatever you say. This won't last long.
By the way, Muuko seems to have the most work to do?
Misumi-san is busy with Sumimi stuff.
So Wakaba-san will take on her share.
The outlets specified it.
Being Minami Mori's daughter sure is something.
No way?! Is that "Minami", Minami Mori?!
Thanks for having us!
Please come in.
Thank you for your hospitality today.
Saki-chan! It's been a while. How have you been?
Fine.
So you've met Sakiko before, Minami-san?
She's been with Mutsumi-chan since kindergarten.
Oh— they're childhood friends?
This is so cool!
Everyone, help yourselves to the food.
This looks so delicious—
Thank you so much.
I'll get started.
Minami-chan, why—
Huh? Have you been talking about me?
Wow—! You planned all this!?
Also, she calls you Minami-chan, huh? That's so cute—!
Can I call you "Minami-chan" too?
Of course, you can!
Hey, I've always wanted to put myself out there...
Maybe show up on TV.
Then... there's a producer I know. I'll put a word in!
Thank you so much—!
Yūtenji-san, you're utterly shameless.
But this could be my big chance!
Minami-chan, I heard you have a studio at home. Is that true?
Yes. Ta-kun said he wanted one.
Ta-kun? Ah! You mean Wakaba-san.
Oh, right! Want to watch a movie together?
Can we?!
Why?!
You've neglected me all this time...
Get out!
I don't want to see you!
Get out!
You're a traitor! You, and you too!
I wanna be humble, but you just gotta cry.
I am crying.
Amazing.
I'm so happy you get it!
You're always welcome to watch more!
Why don't you and your band practice here?
Really?!
This room's for recreation, but it's not used much.
I'm so happy—now we can practice anytime!
Next up are the members of Ave Mujica!
This is your first time on live TV?
Yep! I'm so nervous.
You're super popular now.
Mutsumi-chan, did Minami-san say anything?
Mutsumi-chan?
She's Mortis. Who is this Minami-san you're talking about?
Ah... Then, Mortis-san, have your parents said anything about your popularity?
We dolls don't have parents.
So cold and distant.
Then, what does Mortis-san think?
Right now, Ave Mujica is such a hot topic!
It won't last long.
Huh?!
"It won't last long" - Mortis reveals true feelings!? Fastest disbanding in history!?
Well now what!?
"It won't last long"?
We're just getting started!
I...
This is a critical moment in my career!
You probably wouldn't understand, Muuko.
The comments are all about us breaking up.
It's really terrible.
Mutsumi-chan didn't mean anything bad—
Haven't you been on TV since you were a kid?
How many interviews have you done?
What the hell was that!?
I just... when I talk...
Sakiko! Are you gonna just say nothing?!
Do you forgive her just because you're childhood friends?
Ave Mujica's disbanding!?
Saki-chan...?
I should have managed things better.
Mutsumi.
From now on, you need to stay professional when speaking.
I'm sorry...
Wakaba-san, you'd better go to your next appointment.
Wakaba-san...?
Not bad. Let's switch to another pose, shall we?
Ave Mujica—all this stuff about disbanding...
News never rests, huh.
But your mom is a famous actress; going down that path isn't bad either.
How about co-starring with Minami-san?
What do you talk about at home?
Did your parents inspire you to play guitar?
Hmm...? Mutsumi-chan?
Wakaba-san knows a lot of musicians, right?
What does your father think of Ave Mujica?
The future looks bright!
So exciting.
Sounds like so much fun.
Amazing. That's incredible, Mutsumi-chan.
So impressive. Way to go!
We had so many interviews today—
Sorry for dragging Sumimi into all that gossip.
Especially when you've just started your solo activities...
It's okay!
They keep saying we'll disband or that we don't get along.
I almost feel like shouting, "Sumimi will never break up!"
Yeah.
Hmm?
Ui-chan, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Here you go!
Half a donut for our hard-working Ui-chan!
Sumimi is two-in-one!
...Thanks.
Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for your hard work.
Hmm?
Saki-chan?!
You've been sleeping here?!
Why...
I beg you...
Just get out of my sight...!
The future of Ave Mujica rests on this tour.
We must dispel rumors of disbandment and regain people's trust.
I need to write new songs as soon as possible.
Revise scripts to reflect the unmasking.
I can't waste time going home.
So you're sleeping at the office?
Until the tour starts?
Can you really work well like this?
If your house is too far, why don't you stay with me?
My place is close by, so if your family doesn't mind...
They won't mind.
Saki-chan...
Then you should come to my house.
There's no reason to say no.
Right?
Just come in.
Ah, can you wait ten seconds?
1, 2, 3...
Not yet!
I only counted to three.
If you need anything, let me know.
Toothbrushes, snacks, whatever.
As for sleeping arrangements...
Where would be best for you to sleep...?
Huh? The attic?
Are you sure this is okay? Isn't it cramped?
It's not cramped. This helps a lot. Thank you.
This doll is so cute.
It belonged to my mother.
She passed away due to illness.
Uika, you have met my mother, right?
Saki-chan?
Please, Uika, make me forget everything...
I see.
Because you can't forget,
that's why you're "Oblivionis"... why you're "Forgetfulness."
You can stay here as long as you want.
I'll always stay by your side.
"There's no escape anymore."
I can't wait to see Mutsumi-chan.
Me too.
I'm so excited for Mujica's show!
Will they announce their breakup during the tour?
"Finally, Ave Mujica's nationwide tour starts today~! I'm gonna give it my all!"
I've decided to believe in them.
I suppose you're right...
Right. If it's the moon, it'll surely...
Oblivionis' hairstyle and makeup are ready.
Come over here a sec!
Alright!
Right. If it's the moon, it'll surely...
Mutsumi-chan isn't here yet.
Seems her previous job overran.
By the way, what's up with today's script?
Is it targeting me?
It's just part of the plot.
The dolls who lost their masks
will face a harsh reality.
Mutsumi-chan's here!
Bring her costume! We're out of time!
I'll get your guitar.
Mutsumi-chan! Over here!
There's no time, so let's start.
Mutsumi, just listen from there.
Tonight is our first masquerade ball
as the ones who lost their masks.
It's also the first day of the nationwide tour.
Whether we can immerse the audience in Ave Mujica's world today
will determine the true worth of our band!
Failure is not an option.
Give me back my perfect face!
Those big beautiful eyes!
Those gracefully curved lips!
Amoris...
This… this isn't the real me!
Amoris, this is what you wished for.
No, I...!
Ah, the moon...
The moonlight will surely make me shine.
Right, the moon, it surely will...
How unfortunate. The moon heals no one.
Not only that, it will pursue you forever.
Once the mask is broken, you will have to live with this face.
There's no escaping now.
How could this happen!
Even so, if you still seek solace...
Then leave everything to Ave Mujica!
Welcome to the world of Ave Mujica.
Will dolls with cut strings gain freedom?
Or will they...
Tracing the silver thread, I draw my thoughts closer
At the end of it, embrace the conceived moon
I am waiting for night to fall from the sun
Hey, fulfill me at that end,
I feel like I can reach you
Entangled, we dance
Georgette Me, Georgette You
Revolve
Painfully
Look, in a sparkling dress
everlastin' ever..
darlin' ever, ever..
tighten me again
everlastin' ever
to never separate us
ever ever, ever…
(#3 What do I do?)
