And it's got five horns!
Hey, I want orange!
I like orange, too!
Orange, right.
Oh, how about drawing polka dots?
I like it!
Hey, you copied me!
Wait!
You're amazing, Koharu-chan.
You're like a designer!
You want to color, too, Chie-chan?
No, it's so cute. It'd be a waste if I messed it up...
Wait, wait!
Woof! Woof!
Be careful, you two.
Are you okay?
Nina-chan!
I'm fine!
Nina-chan, I'm sorry.
It's not your fault! I'm okay!
Nina-chan...
I know!
Chie-chan, can you fix Nina-chan's outfit?
You're good at sewing!
No, I'm not...
Episode 8: What Do You Put On To Be Beautiful?
How are the kids doing these days?
You're getting more work than I thought.
Thanks.
But...
The way you think is so old-fashioned.
Why wouldn't I be worried, though?
There're other groups that started at the same time as us
and they're already on TV and stuff!
I know I wanted to start slow and take our time, but...
Well, we'd definitely like to do a concert to increase awareness of them.
Can you get their parents' permission?
Well, there's one whose parents might be busy. I can't get a hold of them.
Yeah, that'll happen.
But parents these days will give you crap for anything you can imagine.
So be careful.
Good morning.
So, anyway...
Section Chief?
I want to put a girl who's gonna go viral on that project I told you about last week.
Um, uh...
Work.
Quickly.
Yes, ma'am!
Section Chief?
This is it!
High Neck Sleeveless Dress
It looks really cool!
Off the Shoulder Flared Long Dress
She's so beautiful! Like a queen!
Wow, Chie-chan! Isn't it cute?
Yeah. Yeah.
Like a real grown-up lady...
Kiryuu-san's brand is going to do a fashion show, and they're looking for models.
Kiryuu-san's brand?
She's a CEO!
She's in high school, right?
She's our senpai as an idol, right?
But she's a CEO?
She's really popular lately. The high school girl who's a CEO and an idol.
About Her Brand "Kasa Blanca"
I came up with the idea as a way to express myself better. I decided to help people get to know who I am on the inside by starting with the outside. I wouldn't say it was tough at first, it was just a lot of fun.
I was willing to try anything. After all, it's my life, isn't it?
What's the Secret to Being an Idol, a CEO, and a High School Girl?
Well? Want to try it?
I'll do it!
I want to do it!
Okay.
When is it?
Where is it?
Sasaki-san, what about you?
Um... I...
You should do it, too, Chie-chan!
Okay... I'll do my best, too.
Okay, let's all do our best!
Yeah!
It's so clean and sparkly!
Koharu-chan!
Sorry!
There's so much to see, huh?
Introduce yourself cheerfully, okay?
Okay!
I can't wait!
Now, where are my shoes...?
Hey, you're here.
She's beautiful...
Thanks.
Good morning.
We're the Third Entertainment Division.
Thanks for having us today.
Thanks for having us!
Um, this is...
Akagi Miria.
Koga Koharu.
And Sasaki Chie, right?
I'm Kiryuu Tsukasa.
Let's put on the best show we can today, okay?
You guys look super-cool!
Is it just you?
Yeah.
I had everybody here late getting ready.
So I gave most of them the day off.
Doesn't that make it really hard for you, though?
As a boss, don't I have a duty to let my people rest?
Producer?
I'll help!
No, I mean... we're here early.
Is that not okay?
I'll help, too!
What are we doing?
I'll help, too!
Okay, let's get to it!
All right.
I'll teach you how Kiryuu Tsukasa works.
Okay!
Tsukasa-san.
The catering's here.
It smells so good!
Everybody, eat up!
Wow!
It looks so good.
This is heaven.
It's huge...
This is where we're going to stand on the stage...
Makes you motivated, right?
It makes me shiver when I think of everybody coming to see me.
Miss, I'll help, too!
You're in charge of the stage.
It's up to you.
Okay! Got it!
I need to do my best, too!
Third Entertainment Division Makeup Room
They're so cute!
Akagi Miria
Koga Koharu
ga Koharu
saki Chie
So soft and frilly!
The dress comes with a white hair tie...
Well? Anything you're not clear on?
Hey, Producer.
Y-Yes?
Let me have Chie.
Okay.
Huh?!
She's doing just like I taught her,
and more than anything, she's treating the merchandise with respect.
For Miria-chan Please put it on your left hand.
Which means she respects the creators.
N-No, I...
Sasaki-san?
Three days off a week.
A schedule that matches her classes.
And her pay can be... 160% of what she's getting now?
No! No! No!
Sasaki-san is an important member of our unit!
I was kidding!
Well, maybe someday.
She was totally serious.
Koharu, you check the novelties with me.
The pink fluffy dress!
You can wear it later!
Chie, you're in charge!
Okay!
That one's good, too.
I'm starting to get tired.
No...
I like this kind of work.
Kiryuu-san said you were doing good.
Cute outfit, huh?
Yes.
It's too cute for me, I think.
Huh? Any problems?
No.
Okay. It's a little later than planned, but let's take our break.
Okay.
We can finally rest.
I'm back!
Welcome back.
Miria-chan, here, have some water.
Thank you!
Where's Tsukasa-chan?
She's resting!
Tsukasa-chan?!
If we send them to be cleaned now...
There's not enough time.
Okay, let's get to work.
Everybody, sorry to worry you.
I'll handle this somehow.
Um, are you okay?
No. I'm so screwed that I'm shaking.
But I'm a pro.
A pro?
Yup.
She's shaking.
I have a responsibility to make everyone smile.
No matter what kind of screwup I make backstage, I need to smile when I'm on stage!
We do have to do something, though...
Chie-chan, can you fix it?
Chie-chan's super-good at sewing!
No, I'm...
You are?
Um...
Thanks, everyone.
But this was my screwup, and I'll deal with it myself somehow.
Sasaki-san.
Producer-san.
No, it's fine.
Okay...
Anything I can help with?
But you're busy... and you need to worry about everybody else, not me...
I want to help you, Sasaki-san!
I'm your producer!
Thanks for always thinking of everybody else.
But you don't need to hold back when it comes to yourself.
When everybody was counting on me, it made me happy.
If I could help everybody, it would make me really happy.
They're all so amazing... if I could be like that...
But...
It's such an important event for everybody,
and I'm worried about what happens if I screw up...
I get scared and can't think of anything else.
I...
Producer-san?
Hop!
Chie-chan, don't cry!
No, maybe that's a little too kiddy.
Yup!
I get nervous, too.
So I'm afraid I can't give you good advice...
You get nervous, too?
Of course!
I've been nervous all day today!
This is such an important event for everybody.
Sasaki-san? Um...
I want to do it!
I want to make everybody smile!
Yeah!
Um... please let me help, too!
Um... a little bigger!
Okay!
Wh-What do you think?
Kiryuu-san!
Even if it fails,
I'll wash dishes or do whatever else I have to do to take responsibility!
Hey, you're assuming it'll fail before it starts?
I'll get you what you need.
Please. Help me!
Okay!
Every day is sure to be full of new things
Every tomorrow is a brand new page
Everyone has their own story
Put the words you've always wanted to say between the quotation marks
Failure is just foreshadowing success
An active route makes drama
I-It's done!
Finish up getting ready fast, it's okay to ad-lib
It's so pretty!
Look, Producer!
Be ready to go, get to your place, and start to race!
It's beautiful!
Yeah!
Chie...
You're the best!
Jump with the first step, if you do it's a brand new stage
Oh, no! We're almost out of time!
Chie, come with me!
And when you swing, your heart beats 1, 2, 3
Every day is sure to be full of new things
Every tomorrow is a brand new page
Break into your starting dash as the sun starts to rise, head forward!
Is Tsukasa-chan going to be here soon?
Are you ready, everybody?
Mommy, look!
She's so cute!
U-Um...
Hmm?
You're sure I don't look weird?
Not at all! You look great!
Um...
Will you watch me when I'm out there?
Yes! Of course!
I'll be cheering you on out in the audience.
'Kay!
Sasaki-san!
Let's go together!
The sparkles are waiting for you!
Yeah!
All together...
Unstoppable, packed days that never let me be bored
The more packed my schedule gets, the higher I fly
The less warning I've got, the more exciting
Every day, I keep seeking perfection, always
If you can have fun when the unexpected happens, you're unstoppable!
Third Entertainment Division Makeup Room
Thank you so much!
Today's success is all thanks to you!
It was so much fun!
I still can't be satisfied with what I've got
Aww, I got a compliment!
It was so much fun!
Yup, yup! Yup!
We were all sparkling up there!
I am the rules, if you want something you've got it to take it for yourself
Chie.
Yes?
I'll show you the best thing you could possibly see
It's okay to give it my all from the start, turning monochrome into my own color
You sure you don't want to come work with me? I'd really like to have you.
Yup yup... Again?
The alarm sounds, are you ready?
Chance is inevitability, I won't let it get away
I'm sorry!
'Cause I'm fated to get the last laugh, I know I want it all
I want to be an idol with everyone!
I don't want to give it to anybody, sorry I'm so selfish
I see.
I am the rules
Next time we meet, we'll be rivals, then.
I'll be waiting for you...
In the world of idols.
Okay!
