Well then, I look forward to working together!
As we discussed, we'll match our schedules to the concert dates.
I'll finalize what we discussed today, then.
Thank you very much!
I understand.
Well then, I've got...
Hmm...
Episode 6 ~ What is it that you wear more of the hotter it gets?
One, two, three, four.
Sup!
One, two, three, four.
And... turn!
Wah!
Ahh!
Ah...
Haru-chan, good morning~
What are you guys doing?
We're experimenting.
We were talking about how much our skirts would move when we're actually dancing.
What if it was Producer who came in instead of me?
That's true.
We almost got him locked up.
But, man, how can idols dance around in those frilly outfits?
You're an idol too, you know.
I don't remember ever becoming one.
You...
But I think a cute outfit would really fit you, Haru-chan~
Huh!?
I don't think I can recall ever seeing you in one, actually.
That's right! You've got a nice body, Haru, so you should wear skirts and stuff like that more!
No way!
I like wearing these kinds of clothes.
Listen, fashion is about how you match clothes.
If we just get you a matching bottom... hm?
Are Yuuki-san and Matoba-san here?
You need to knock.
Is that any way to enter a room where ladies are present?
But this is where I work!
Ow...
Oh, right, where's Yuuki-san?
Hm? Do you need me for something?
That's right! And Matoba-san too!
Do you two want to try being backup dancers?
Ba...
Backup dancers?
It seems the girls who were originally picked for this...
...had other commitments come up that they couldn't miss.
A live concert? That's great!
L... hm?
P-p...P?
It's LiPPS! I told you about them earlier, didn't I?
Why are you asking those two?
It's actually happening this weekend...
That's so soon.
Soon!
It's a really short amount of time to practice,
and there are a lot of events in the summer, so everyone is busy.
It was hard to find people whose schedules matched...
But considering how Yuuki-san's so athletic, and how Matoba-san's a fast learner,
I felt like they could handle it.
In that case, they certainly are the best choice for this.
They're both excellent at dancing, after all.
So, what do you think?
Wanna try it?
Of course I'll do it!
Just what I hoped, Matoba-san!
How about you, Yuuki-san?
Hmm... I don't really get this whole idol thing,
but this seems pretty cool!
It's like playing defense!
Yeah, backup dancers are cool!
They're an irreplaceable part of the performance...
...that bring more impact by adding more movement to the stage.
In any case, it's an important job.
Assists are important, after all.
Exactly!
Soccer-for-brains...
Alright then, I'll do it too!
Wahh~
I can't wait~
I shall be cheering for you.
Thanks, you guys!
Okay, then let's start the lessons right away.
Let's do our best!
Yeah!
Ohh...
Yup, you're looking good.
Hahaha...
He's so easy to read, isn't he?
Gross.
By the way, Risa, your tempo was off by a beat earlier.
Well, your movements are sloppy.
Let's run through it one more time.
Lazy Lazy – Crazy Crazy
Umm... Ichinose Shiki.
That's right, it's Ichinose Shi–
Wah!
Spot on!
You were here?
Nyahaha~
I've been watching since your first day of lessons.
Eh? Then you should've said... something...
Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff...
Smell, smell, smell, smell...
Sniff, sniff, sniff...
Hmmm... Mm.
Well, I guess it's okay.
Huh? What is?
Your dancing seems fine, so Shiki-chan's leaving now~
Oh right,
I'm actually really looking forward to this show.
Which is why...
if you don't entertain me, I might use you as guinea pigs for some weird drugs.
Eh?
Just kidding.
Nyahahaha~
What was that, what was that!?
That was scary!
Idols are scary!
Not everyone is like Shiki, you know!
Tada!
Your outfits have arrived!
Oh, that looks great!
Right?
I'll take your detailed measurements, so can you wear them during practice today?
Okay!
Haru!
Haru?
Ahh...
Hm?
No way, no way, no way!
There's no way!
What's up with these clothes!?
I-I'm not wearin' them!
What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
Isn't it cute?
S-some people don't like cute!
Isn't this a good opportunity to try it?
It'll definitely look good on you.
H-hey, isn't there some way we can change the outfit?
Eh, umm...
There's no way that's possible.
They're made to match LiPPS's, after all.
I'm sorry, Yuuki-san.
I definitely thought you knew.
Why don't you want to wear it?
Eh? Umm... Mmm...
It's girly, you know?
Mmh... Listen, you.
The performance is soon, so this isn't the time to start being selfish.
I get that.
You decided you were going to do it, didn't you?
Giving up halfway is the lamest thing possible.
Like I said, I didn't know about this when I agreed to it!
If I had known from the start...
Now, now, you two...
Hey, being an idol isn't some laid-back thing where you can be picky about your outfits!
I'm always telling you that you need to be more aware of the fact that you're an idol.
Get it through your head already.
I'm...!
Ah...
I'm not doing this 'cause I wanted to be an idol like you guys!
My bad.
I'm gonna go cool off.
Wai– Yuuki-san!
Lost & Found
Ahh, god, this sucks!
Lost & Found
Hey, hurry up and chase after her!
Huh? But, Matoba-san...
You're so dumb.
I'm telling you to leave me alone.
S-sorry!
Hm?
Wait.
Haru would definitely be at that place.
I'm so lame...
Damn it!
Whoa!
Yuuki-sa–
Wah!
Are you okay, Producer!?
I'm so sorry!
I'm okay...
You came to the agency 'cause your family told you to, right, Yuuki-san?
My old man was saying he wanted me to dress cuter and stuff.
I wanted to just play soccer over the summer,
but even my brothers thought it'd be fun.
I see.
It's not like I hate everything about it.
I mean, I still like soccer the best.
But I like getting to move my body, and dancing is like working on a team.
That's true. You two were amazing today.
Ah...
You see, Risa...
She can be harsh with her words, but she's super serious about being an idol.
And if I'm doing it, I wanna take it seriously too.
But suddenly having to wear that outfit is just so hard, and there's no time left.
I'm so bad at thinking through all this stuff!
If someone on your team wasn't taking it seriously, of course that'd piss you off.
What's so fun about being an idol?
Eh?
Well that's, you know...
Hm?
Ah...
Park
Heh...
Let's go see together.
Huh?
Ah...
Let's go, Yuuki-san, Matoba-san.
Huh?
Now then, let's start our screening!
What is this, Producer?
By the way, Yuuki-san, have you ever seen an idol concert?
I've seen music programs and stuff before.
Huh?
W-well anyway, try watching just this once!
Once you do, I'm sure, sure that you'll come to like idols.
Wah!
Wasurete kite ageta no yo jibun no kasa wa
I forgot my own umbrella
What do you think?

From here on there'll be more
Oh right, the outfit!
skip skip skip
Skip, skip, skip!
…Nante ne.
...Just kidding.
Why?
Wh...
You were the one that said if we left it to your kids, they'd definitely be fine, weren't you?
So what's this about, then?
Of course it's impossible.
I-I understand that it would be difficult, but...
...I'm sure she'd be able to give a much better performance like this.
You should be dealing with that kind of selfishness on your own!
"Selfishness"? They're still just ki...
I'm very sorry.
For the time being, I'll ask the higher-ups, but don't get your hopes up.
Hm?
Like I said!
It's fine since you'd look good in it!
And I'm saying that's not the issue here!
Then what is it?
To start with, I never agreed to wear it!
U-um...
Why don't you just try it on?
Sorry for the wait!
Huh?
Eh, why a skirt?
I couldn't get them to change the outfit, sorry!
And that's why... I figured this was just about the only thing left that I could do!
When you move like that, it's even grosser!
Don't call me gross!
You're very cute, Producer-san~
Eh?
Th-thanks...
Why are you wearing it?
Well...
Apologize to Sasaki-san!
Eh?
Eh, A-Arisu-chan, Chie's fine...
Pfft...
Hahahaha!
It sure looks good on you, Producer!
It's ridiculous!
Haru.
Hm?
I'm sorry.
I-it's fine.
I'm sorry for being selfish.
Huh? What's wrong with being selfish?
That's just like you.
Huh? What's that supposed to mean?
I mean, even just the other day...
What are you trying to say?
Yuuki-san, Matoba-san.
Hm?
Think you're ready to start the lesson?
Of course.
Yeah.
More importantly, how about you hurry up and get changed already?
Ahh...
Delicate floor
Phew...
Producer!
Thanks...
Also... sorry for laughing!
Delicate floor
Risa, let's go get some burgers!
I told you, you're an idol!
Idols eat them too, don't they?
This is so exciting, isn't it?
So excited!
I can't wait!
Yuuki-san, Matoba-san,
it's about time to standby.
Okay.
Think you'll be okay?
Yeah.
I'm still not used to it, and it feels weird,
but it's better than it was at first.
Helps that I'm wearing spats too.
You really got permission for that, right?
Of course.
I did have to put in a little effort for it though!
What's with that?
Encore! Encore! Encore!
What's this, you feeling nervous?
Fufun~
Heheh...
They're about to be seen by everyone, after all.
Wanna eat some sweets with Syuko-chan?
Just follow along with us and you'll be fine!
Let's have fun together!
Wow! Mika-chan's charisma mode!
Whew whew!
Rika-chan's here after all.
Th-that's not it!
Oh...
Time for the kickoff, Risa.
Yeah.

You...
Producer!
Hm?
It sure is fun being an idol, huh?
Isn't it?
Good work, everyone!
Shiki!
Today was so much fun!
Let me be a backup dancer for you again sometime!
Eh~
No thank you.
Eh?
You had fun, right?
Well, then...
How 'bout you come to my level?
Haru-chan!
Hey, hey...
You were so amazing!
Haru-chan, you did wonderfully~
You were shining!
Next time, let's get you guys to stand on your own stage.
With your own outfits, and by your own wills, okay?
Ah...
Wahh!
Yeah, I'll stand on the field of an idol.
I'm counting on you, Producer!
