Yes, yes, alright.
About that matter, in today's meeting... yes.
Okay, then let's plan for that.
Good morning...
Good morning~
Good morning.
Understood, well then I'll see you later.
Fu...
I'll also check that email.
The weather will be fickle today in Kanto.
Ah, Arisu, I might be able to come home early today!
Really?
Yup!
Well then, I'm off!
Have a nice day!
Sudden rain showers are a possibility but they're estimated to be short.
Now let's take a look at the weather countrywide.
A high pressure system covering western Japan is expected to bring mostly sunny skies.
Temperatures are expected to exceed 30°C in many areas...
Time to eat.
It's hot...
Arisu~!
What're you gonna do over summer vacation?
How many times do I have to ask you to call me Tachibana...
Hey, so you see my mom,
She said if I don't get into my top choice, she won't buy me a smartphone...
What the heck, that's awful!
I don't wanna study~!
It must be nice not getting nagged since your grades are good huh, Tachibana~?
That's not true.
Huh?
Ah, no...
Sorry, I'm gotta go now.
Ah, she dodged the question!
Tachibana-san
Do you have an idol job today?
Y-yes, I do.
Today is...
a singing job...
Heeh~ What! That's amazing!
Ehehehe... heh...
Hahh...
The Third Entertainment Section...
It's a real pain in the ass getting this all of a sudden...
Having to deal with the president's plans
was a fucking mess during the year-end concert last year too.
Seriously.
This is awful...
They're still grade schoolers, aren't they?
The younger ones are the same age as my daughter.
Good grief.
What should we do about the producer?
You do something about it.
I don't wanna deal with this shit.
Eh... wait, b-but chief...
Even the president would agree that someone young would be better for this.
Eh!?
Next I've got a meeting at Akasaka...
Gotta hurry!
Hm?
Hello!
Ahh, um... Good work out there.
What're you doing right now?
Eh? Ahh, I'm heading over to my next meeting right now.
I see...
Hm?
By the way, how long has it been since you joined the company?
It's been 3 years.
Ehh, I see, so it's already been that long, huh...
Wanna be a producer?
Eh?
A producer.
We have this project we're setting up right now
And the president is getting directly involved with...
I'll do it!
Please let me do it!
Ohh... So you'll do it!
Then I'll be counting you next week to meet them!
Yes!
Thank you very much!
Sorry~!
Nee-chan
Hey, have you been eating properly? Mom's been worried since she hasn't heard from you at all.
Yeah, I'm all good! I'll get in touch later!
Gotcha
I got promoted to Producer!!
Producer!!
I feel a little bit bad though...
Yeah.. but even so, it's what the boss said to do...
Good morning.
Ah, Arisu-chan!
Well then,
Make sure to discuss it with your parents, okay?
Yes, thank you very much.
One, two, three, four!
Be conscious of the sharpness of your fingers!
Yes!
It tasted good. Good night.
Thanks! I'm sorry as always. Good night!
Today someone at the company asked if I would participate in a unit called the "Third Entertainment Section". It seems to be the president's suggestion. I know I'm in a difficult period with studying for exams, but I'm thinking positively about joining.
Good for you, Tachibana-san!
Isn't it amazing that you'll be part of the president's project?
Yes...
Now I can finally start doing idol-like things.
You've been working hard this whole time after all.
I've decided to do whatever I'm able to accomplish through hard work.
I hate being looked down on because I'm a kid after all.
Sometimes, you seem more like an adult than I do, Tachibana-san.
Your parents must be very reliable people too, huh.
Ahh, yes!
My mom and dad are both really cool!
I hope they'll be happy that you got chosen!
Yes! Thank you very much!

I wonder what kind of girls they'll be~.
Maybe someone like Mifune-san?
As if... hm?
In any case, my dream is definitely a solo live at the dome!
Yo!
Thanks for the hard work, section chief!
So what do you think of the new department?
Oh man, I'm already so excited!
Thinking about how this is where it all starts!
Alright, let's go celebrate your promotion!
Tonight, we're drinking til the morning!
My treat!
Uh, sure thing!
I'm home...
I'm back!
Sorry I'm late!
I'll make dinner right away!
Welcome back, mom.
Did you look at what I sent you earlier?
I did I did!
The 3rd Entertainment Section was it?
I've said it before but
As long as it doesn't get in the way of your studies,
You can do whatever you like, okay Arisu?
Yeah... Thanks.
Mm? Is something wrong?
No
I ate the pre-made food in the refrigerator, so I'm going to bed now.
Good night.
I'm home.
Hmm?
Hey, hasn't Arisu been kind of distant lately?
Eh? Is that right?
Mm, kinda.
Are you sure she wasn't just thinking about something?
Hmm, I wonder if that was it.
Parental Consent Form
Alright~ Here I go!
Ohh, nice catch!
Next is Nina's turn!
Yuuki-san, that's dangerous.
Seriously.
You should be more conscious of the fact that you're an idol.
But there's nothing else to do~.
We can't do anything until our producer comes right?
I wonder what kinda of person our producer will be?
Obviously he'll be a cool adult like my papa!
I'm sure they'll be a smart and sincere person.
Koharu would like it if they were like a prince.
Nina would be happy if they were a kind person!
What do you think, Arisu?
Let's see.
They made us wait quite a long time,
so it'll be a problem if he's not a proper adult who can get the job done.
Also,
It's Tachibana.
Please don't call me by my first name.
Eh?
Oh, my bad...
Ara, but it's such a lovely name.
Do you not want to be friends with us?
It's not that...
It's just that um...
I thought it was too childish,
and that it would be better to use my surname instead...
Ehhh!
Nina really loves the name Arisu!
Then... if it's just you, Ichihara-san...
Really!? I'm so happy~
Arisu-chan!
I wanna be friends with Arisu-chan too!
Kaoru too!
C-chie too!
Arisu-chan!
I-I guess it can't be helped...
Yay!
Eh? What about me...?
You're the same age as me, so you can't Yuuki-san.
Ehh~.
You're quite the shy one aren't you?
But please feel free to call me Momoka.
We can finally start doing work as idols, huh?
I've been so stressed from doing nothing but lessons!
But man,
Our producer sure is late...
I know!
Let's go look for him!
Eh?
It's a search party~!
Calm down you all!
Sorry for being...!
Wah!?
I'm sorry!
Huh? Uhh...?
Mm?
Who are you!
Ha! You must be a lolicon that fell in love with me at first sight, right?
Wha!?
Lolicon?
I'm not a lolicon!
I work here!
And what exactly are you all here for?
We're here because we're the idols of the 3rd Entertainment Section!
And what about you!?
Well I came here to meet the idols from the 3rd Entertainment Section!
Since I was assigned... here... ah...
Eh...?
No way...
Could you be...
Aaaah!
Wahh, it's Producer-san~.
It's our producer!?
I said I was sorry...
How could you not know anything about the idols you're in charge of?
I'm appalled!
Well you guys mistook me for a suspicious person too, didn't you?
I'm still doubtful that you're actually an adult.
I'm a fully grown adult!
You're not even much taller than me.
Risa-san.
Ahh...
It's not like I'm short because I wanted to be!
Ehh...
Who cares about my height, dammit!
C-calm down...
I'm going to go request a change of producers.
Eh...
W-wait!
What is it?
Could you give me some time to organize my thoughts?
I refuse.
You don't seem to have any interest in children like us after all
Producer-san!
W-what's wrong?
Producer-san, do you not want to become our producer?
We've been waiting so long for a producer!
So...
Please! Don't leave us!
I-I won't leave you!
Is that really true?
About earlier...
I'm sorry.
I was really shocked, but,
It's not like I don't want to be your producer!
I mean it!
So then...
Mmhmm.
Starting today, I'll be your producer!
Producer!
Hey producer-san!
Kaoru!
I'm Ryuzaki Kaoru!
I look forward to working with you!
Nina too! Nina too!
I'm Ichihara Nina!
Akagi Miria!
Nice to meet you!
I-I'm Sasaki Chie...
I'm Matoba Risa.
I'm Yuuki Haru.
I'm Koga Koharu~
I'm Sakurai Momoka.
I'm Tachibana... Arisu.
Arisu-chan!
Please call me Tachibana.
She gets upset when you call her Arisu.
I don't intend on going against everyone's wishes.
However, I'm reluctant to so easily trust you.
So for now, I'll wait and see.
Oh... sure...
And so?
What should we do today?
Recording solo tracks maybe?
Well let's see...
At least for today...
Sorry!
It's lessons!
Ehhh!
Every day, no matter when I wanna have a cute heart!
EVURIDEI donna toki mo KYUUTO HAATO mottetai
But when I'm in a pinch and trying to survive, I wanna overcome it coolly
PINCHI mo SABAIBARU mo KUURU ni koetai
With invincible passion, I'll update my broken heart!
APPUDEITO muteki na PASSHON kujike kokoro koushin
I'll just do everything that I can.
Watashi ni dekiru koto dake o kasanete
Not to end this magic,
Mahou ga tokenai you ni
Tachibana-san, you sure are a great singer!
I found myself getting lost in your singing.
No, not really.
You sure are modest.
Ah, however,
If you sang with more of an awareness of how you sing in front of an audience,
I think you'd become even better.
Is that so?
You're surprisingly strict...
Thank you.
Ah, no, I'm sorry!
I get what you're trying to say!
Ahh, no...
Why did you join the office, Producer?
Eh? Me?
I like them! Idols!
How about you, Tachibana-san?
I thought that they were all shiny and cool...
That's right!
They are, aren't they~
Idols are cool... and shine so bright!
And they put everything they have for that sake,
And show that they're there!
That's why I have to do my best too!
You sure do like them... idols.
Yeah! That's why I'm so happy to have become a producer!
I can't wait to see you guys
shining, glittering and sparkling
as close up as possible!
I-it's fine to do as you please, isn't it?
Tachibana-san!
For both the idols and the people come to watch the idols,
I want to create a stage that no one's ever seen before!
I'm a novice, and I may still not be very reliable but,
If it's okay with you Tachibana-san,
then let's go see that greatest, most shiny dream together!
After that awful failure you made earlier,
How are you able to say such lofty things now?
If you're going to be our producer, at least dress properly!
Ah I'm sorry!
Are you alright?
I'm good... I'm good....
What are you getting all excited for?
Kyaa!
All of you too!
We may still only be at the entrance,
But from here on we're aiming for it!
The stage of dreams!
Stage of dreams!?
It seems kinda amazing!
I'm looking forward to working with you!
Tachibana-san!
Yes.
Please take care of me, Producer.
No way~!
It's true~
Sorry! I just read this
Congrats!
Now then, let's head back and write up a proposal~!
Oh, are you heading home now?
Eh? Um, uh...
Good work today...
Alright!
If you're free, let's go drinking!
Wa-waaait!
Please! Cinderella
Onegai! SHINDERERA
This dream won't end as just a dream
Yume wa yume de owarenai
It'll come true if you wish upon a star!
Kanaeru yo hoshi ni negai o kaketa nara
I'll find it! My only star
Mitsukeyou! My Only Star
Even though it's still small,
Madamada chiisai kedo
It's started shining,
Hikari hajimeteru
towards sparkling days...
Kagayaku hi no tame ni
The fun things increase
Tanoshii koto ga fuete
The things I can do increase
Dekiru koto ga fuete
JUMP a little closer to the sun!
Ohisama ni sukoshi chikadzuketa JUMP!
Turn it over and it becomes a brand new PAGE
Mekureba massara na PAGE
A never-ending story
Mugen no monogatari
Tell me, what is my color?
Oshiete watashi no iro
Because there are good nights
Oyasumi ga aru kara
There are good mornings, right?
Ohayou ga aru yo ne
But I want to laugh some more
Demo motto warattetai naa
This warm feeling I feel in my chest when I wish
Negatte kanjiru mune no poka poka wa
Shining LITTLE STAR
Kagayaku LITTLE STAR
I love it!
DA I SU KI!
Once we collect the twinkles, let's dream
Kirameki atsumetara yume ni shiyou
When we cross the rainbow bridge, let's leap
Niji no hashi kaketara tobikoeyou
Beyond this point, I'm sure there's still
Kono saki wa kitto mada
An unknown world waiting for us
Shiranai sekai ga minna ga matteru kara
So let's definitely go
Kitto yuku yo
Let's chase after our heart pounding feelings
Doki doki suru kimochi oikakeyou
Wanting to be found hide and seek
Mitsukete hoshiinda kakurenbo
While this shoe
Kono kutsu wa kono ashi de
Still fits perfectly this foot
Pittari hakeru uchi ni
Let's play together again
Mata asobou yo
I hope the weather tomorrow will be good!
Ashita tenki ni narimasu youni!
