Here.
- Tsunanaka. - Here.
- Tomonaka. - Here.
Nomura...
... is absent.
Here!
I'm sorry.
I was reading a script last night, and I couldn't get up this morning.
Toroko!
Didn't you tell me you couldn't come today because of filming?
Noooooooo!
Wow, that's Mayu Hazuki.
When I was the president of the Idol Fan Club at Meiji University...
...she was traveling to the hot springs...
... as a member of this sexy group.
I'm so glad that she has become such a big star now.
I'm going to get her autograph.
Oh, no. I'm in the industry now. I can't do that.
But I may be the only one who has all three autographs...
... she used when she was a member of the group...
Pink Elephant, your girl hasn't come yet?
I'm sorry. She's coming soon!
We're going to start rehearsal in 10 minutes.
Yes, sir.
What?! Your girl?! Her name is Tomoko Nomura!
That's why I didn't want to take an unscheduled role.
Plan to make Tomoko Nomura a superstar...
In order to make Tomoko a star of the 21st century...
I didn't sleep for three days concocting this plan.
Soon she'll be a siren of the silver screen!
Of course, it will be a big hit!
She'll be a star!
She'll appear on popular talk shows like "Waratte litomo... "
... and "Tetsuko no Heya. " She'll be set as a star!
And, and...!
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT INTERVIEW
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCEMENT INTERVIEW How do you feel having the No. 1 star in Japan as your bride?
I'm happy!
I'd better call her again.
She's still not answering.
Just in case, check her school...
What's this?!
Hellooo!
Why do I have Tomoko's cell phone?!
That's right...!
During the photo session yesterday I was holding it for her!
That's why I didn't want to take an unscheduled role.
How can I contact Tomoko?
Tomokoooo!
Hurry up, Toroko!
Yes!
Well...
Thank you very much!
Tomoko!
Okay, everyone! Stand by!
We're doing a run-through.
Lights!
What do you mean there's no scene for her?
I apologize that she's late.
Well, I feel sorry for you, but the writer, Ashida-san, said...
...she wanted to change the scene suddenly.
Ashida-san said?
Off the record, she doesn't like girls with big breasts.
What?!
Anyway, that's all for today.
We'll give you another chance next time.
Okay! Let's run through it!
Wait, Kojima-san!
Four, three...
We're leaving, Tomoko.
What?
Oh, it makes me so mad! A scenario writer?!
She's just a selfish old woman! Don't play with us!
We did them a favor taking it...
... because Tomoko's air time would be more than a minute!
Okay, then, I'm going to eat all their staff's lunches!
As our revenge I'm going to eat at their expense.
Hello!
Were you in time for work?
Onizuka-san! What are you doing here?!
I was just hungry.
Amazing lunch for a TV station!
It's so good!
I'm going to have another one.
Why is everyone here?
Onizuka asked us to come here.
We're taking a field trip to your workplace.
Other students took the Visitor's Tour.
We're here because Kanzaki insisted on waiting for you.
Because I'm her best friend.
Urumi!
Are you done? Or are you on break?
Well, I...
We've decided not to take this job. It's meaningless anyway.
What?!
Toroko!
Tomoko!
You don't need to worry!
Tomoko!
What's going on?
Let's find Toroko first!
I'm telling you, I didn't see a woman in blue clothes!
Not blue clothes. A woman in red clothes!
And with yellow hair!
With yellow hair...I know only Hiyoko (baby chicken).
Okay! Check the monitor!
Teacher!
I'm sorry. You even gave me a ride. But I was cut.
Why is the person who was cut still here?
This story is really interesting.
I read the script over and over last night.
So I overslept...
Then it's too early to give up.
The show hasn't finished taping yet.
- Did you find her?! - No!
Where on earth did she go?
Please don't kill yourself, Tomoko!
Thank you for waiting. Oolong tea float & plum milk ice.
Tomoko!
Toroko!
I'm telling you! The light on Ultraman's chest changes...
...from blue to yellow, then to red.
Kikuchi...
No.
Ultraman's...
Oh, I'm sorry!
All right! Cut! Not bad...!
Thank you very much!
What's going on? Wasn't Toroko cut?
Onizuka did it.
How did you do it?
That old lady said you're her type.
What?
Do you mean...?
Everything is experience. Good luck, Kunio-chan!
Why me?!
Just drive the metropolitan highway and drink morning coffee together...
What?!
Mom...!
Eikichi!
Bow wow!
Teacher...!
Bow wow...!
OBEDIENT DOG
I'm asking you about that.
OBEDIENT DOG Good boy, Eikichi. What do you want for your prize?
OBEDIENT DOG
You want me to give her more work time?
Okay, then. I'll make her role a semi-regular one.
What are you doing?!
I finally got Toroko some work! Don't interfere!
All right...
No! I'm her manager!
Don't accept any work that's not in my plan!
Plan?
Do you mean this?
Don't look!
Here...
This is an unrealistic plan...
Can he do that?
I have 20 years of experience following stars.
I was the president of the Idol Fan Club at Meiji University.
Nothing is impossible for me.
You shut up and watch me.
I don't like it.
What?
As long as things go the way you planned...
...you don't care what Toroko wants, do you?
What Tomoko wants...?
We can't leave Toroko with you.
Oh, my plan...!
From now on, we, Eikichi Onizuka and these five students...
...will take care of Toroko.
What?
Are we joining him, too...?
Sounds like it...
What can amateurs do?
Although we're amateur, we know Toroko's charms better than you.
Interesting. If you say so, I want you to do it.
However...
... if you fail...
...you promise to never show up at Tomoko's workplace.
That's fine.
I'll show you Onizuka's way!
FUJI TV! WOW!
The first step toward becoming a star is doing a commercial!
Kyonkyon, Gokumi, and Hirosue...
...all of them became famous through commercials.
I was in a commercial for cell phones!
One is not enough. You have to do a lot!
That's easy for you to say. Can you get commercials so easily?
Yeah. I think it's pretty hard.
Who do you think I am?
I'm the legendary Onibaku. I have many connections.
Many connections in many different areas.
Then...!
I already have a job for her.
Let's start rehearsal!
Yes!
Delicious daikon! Fun daikon!
The best daikon I can find...
...is daikon in Gunma!
It's thick and hard.
Let's check the monitor.
Thick...and hard...
Where do you run this commercial?
Gunma Local.
It'll be a long road to stardom.
You can't be serious!
Many years from now, people will use this commercial...
...to make fun of Tomoko!
I can't allow that!
Tomoko, let's go back.
It's delicious!
Please eat as much as you want.
It's good!
Why don't you join us, Manager-san?
To...Tomoko...
She's enjoying it. Don't disturb her!
Then let's take it!
Three seconds!
Delicious daikon! Fun daikon!
The best daikon I know...
...is the daikon in Gunma!
It's thick and hard.
Okay!
Don't get so mad. We got a lot of daikon, too.
I will never allow a local commercial like this!
Don't worry. The next one is a major commercial.
Please eat with me!
Please eat...
...with me...
KOSHIHIKARI Where do you air this commercial?
KOSHIHIKARI Niigata Local.
Don't worry. The next one is a major commercial!
Mellow melon!
Mellow...
...melon...
Hokkaido Local.
We won't be out of food for a while!
Hooray!
What is Onizuka thinking?! He got only local commercials!
Major commercials are an impossible dream.
No, not really.
What?
I totaled the areas of the commercials Onizuka got.
It's amazing.
They cover over 80% of the country.
What did you say?!
We can expect the same effect as a nation-wide commercial.
Did Onizuka really plan that well?
Everyone, get ready! We got another job.
Which local commercial are we doing this time?
What? Local commercial? No more of those.
It's meaningless now.
This time, it's a bigger job. Radio station!
Radio station in Shibuya.
ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCTION & TALENT AGENCY PINK ELEPHANT A job at a radio station in Shibuya!!
The only radio station in Shibuya is...!
I can't believe he got such a major job...!
I haven't even contacted that station...!
Here it is!
What? Isn't it a little bit further?
What's this place?
Is this the right place?
This is a Mini FM Station!
What's a Mini FM Station?
It's a broadcasting station anyone can establish easily.
But the range of reception is at most a few kilometers.
Then it's meaningless...
I thought it was too good to be true.
No complaining! Let's get to work!
Toroko's finished changing.
But... is this really the right one?
What's this outfit?!
I borrowed it from my friend.
It looks good on her, doesn't it?
That's not my point! This is a live broadcast in public!
People can see it! Her pa-pa-
Don't worry about her panties.
It's a sort of service. A service for the fans.
Fans...?
This is...!
This program is well-known for debuting future stars...
... before their big break.
Think about if all of them submit their photographs to magazines.
About 20 magazines soliciting photographs from the public...
...will be filled with Toroko's photos. Good advertising!
Get serious! If she becomes famous like that, my plan won't work!
Cancel this job!
- Let's go back, Tomoko. - What?
Wait a minute!
This is Toroko's job.
If she doesn't like it, I have no intention of forcing her.
I...
Tomoko, you don't need to take this job.
They're going to take pictures of you in your panties.
Well...that's okay. I've put on some nice underwear.
That's not the point!
Toroko.
What do you want to do? Tell us. Be honest.
Well...
Since you became my manager, I've had many different jobs.
I've enjoyed every single day.
I've felt a sense of fulfillment.
They might not be big jobs like Manager-san said...
... but even if it's little by little, I want everyone to see me.
If they like me little by little, I will be very happy.
So I will be happy...
...if someone likes me because of today's job...
I'm sorry! I know you care about me. But...
I remember...
...Mayu Hazuki got her start from a dinner show at hot springs...
Then, that's it.
Now I'm introducing the guest of the hour! Tomoko Nomura!
How do you do? I'm Tomoko Nomura.
After all, that's my selfish dream...
I should have come up with a marketing method...
...suitable for Tomoko.
Look! What's that?!
That is...!
Look! Right there!
The beauty of our dreams really exists, Kibayashi!
Yes! Let's go!
Who are you?!
Are you with the girl who's on the air now?
Yes...
I'm Kibayashi from Weekly Shonen Magazine.
We've been receiving...
...a lot of letters about her commercials...
...from readers all over Japan for a long time now.
"There is a cute girl in the daikon commercial."
"I want to know about that beautiful girl in the rice commercial."
"I've become mellow from the melon commercial."
When we investigated...
...we found that it's the same beautiful girl in all the commercials.
Tomoko Nomura, it's you!
From these facts, we've hypothesized...
...that she may become the top star of the 21st century!
Weekly Shonen Magazine...
...the most widely circulated magazine in the world...
...recognized Tomoko...
Great, Toroko! No doubt you can be the top star!
But this is just a hypothesis.
We need to research more deeply.
Research...?
We've found 11 other potential top idols.
Adding Tomoko-kun Nomura...
...we want these 12 to compete for true star status.
How...?
Magazine Glossy Princess Contest! In short, MGPC!
MGPC?!
Yes. We'll introduce all 12 girls in our magazine.
We'll ask our readers to vote for the top star of the 21st century.
The winner will appear in a 20-page layout...
...in our magazine, and we'll give her full support.
We want her to compete.
What do you want to do? It's up to you to make the decision.
I trust you.
Okay!
Let's do it together!
Yes! I'll do it!

NEXT EPISODE
I'm really touched.
NEXT EPISODE Let's show them a miracle!
If you say so, a miracle will happen again!
Megumi Hoshino. I'm 17 years old.
Thank you for having me here.
A miracle won't happen...
...as long as Warning Production exists.
SEE YA NEXT TIME
