I believe there are three ways to make people happy.
This is the I-1 Club!
I! I!
I-1 Club!
I! I!
I-1 Club!
I! I!
There are those who make many people happy throughout the world.
I-1 Club!
Those who make those around themselves happy.
And those
who make themselves happy.
Harder than anyone!
More beautiful than anyone!
More precise than anyone!
I-1 Club, let's go!
Yeah!
It is the Age of Warring Idols
July 2013 Sendai
Green Leaves Entertainment
What?!
You can't come, starting tomorrow?!
Are you betraying me?
How do you think you became so successful?
That's enough! I don't want to hear it!
Go wherever you want, bitch!
Is Sapphire Reiko-san quitting?
I fired her!
For crying out loud... Everyone's going to Tokyo!
It makes me laugh that they think
they can make money in that disgusting city!
I hope they face reality and sell their bodies!
What are we going to do now?
What do you mean, "What are we going to do now?"
We just have to find the next one!
This...
The I-1 Club is great, isn't it?
Not only are they idols that represent Japan,
they're supporting the Japanese entertainment industry.
Even though we're in a recession, they draw crowds.
All their singles sell in the millions.
People line up for their concerts, hoping someone else will cancel.
Given how well they sell,
I wonder how much President Shiraki makes in royalties.
It stinks.
It freaking stinks.
Huh? President, do you not like coffee?
What are you talking about?
This is it!
It freaking stinks of money!
I see...
Matsuda, we'll do it!
We're going to make idols!
What?
This'll definitely work!
We're experiencing an idol boom!
It's sure to work!
It won't work in Sendai.
Shut up!
Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
You're a disgrace to the Date Clan!
But I'm not a warrior...
If I say we're doing something, we're doing it!
Go find some pretty girls, you insect!
What? Now?
Yes!
Find some golden eggs... No, some golden girls!
Got it?
This again.
She always decides things on a whim and is irresponsible and pushy.
This is why our clients quit.
Maybe I'll quit soon...
I wanted to watch, too.
You weren't watching?
No.
What a waste.
In any case...
Hey, you.
Do you girls want to be idols?
I'm a manager at a talent agency.
My name's...
Right.
You can be a star!
Large Idol Group AUDITION Open!!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Excuse me.
Huh?
Do you want to be an...
Never mind. Nothing.
This isn't how I imagine idols.
It's important that they're sexy, too.
Go on.
Excuse me...
Welcome!
Um... Are you interested in becoming an idol?
Huh? What?
I work for a talent agency called Green Leaves...
Hey, buddy.
You've got some guts.
Are you trying to steal my girls right outside my store?
No, that's not what I'm...
Why don't we talk inside?
No, it's not like that!
I know what I saw!
Hey, stop!
It's not like that!
What an idiot.
You can be a star!
Large Idol Group AUDITION Open!!
You're Shimada Mayu?
You were an idol until recently, right?
A lot of girls in our class know who you are.
Why did you quit?
Did you have trouble with boys?
Did you know you're known as the "Fallen Idol" at school?
If you don't explain yourself, the rumors will only escalate.
Tell us.
We'll protect you.
She can't tell us.
What a shame.
Lame.
Rude.
You promise?
Yes.
You can't change your mind later.
It's okay.
Anyway, why would I quit?
I'd never do that. You have to believe me.
Here's your entry sheet.
Here, you can have this.
Huh?
Come to our store.
Make sure you ask for me.
Twenty more points, and I'll get a raise.
I see...
I've always wanted to be an idol.
I even thought about leaving Sendai
and auditioning for the I-1 Club...
but I can't save enough money to go to Tokyo.
I don't have a winning personality, either.
You're right.
Huh? What?!
You really think so?
You don't think I can be an idol?
No, it's not like that.
Name Hisami Nanami
Hisami Nanami, 13 years old.
I've been interested in performing since I was young.
I've taken singing, dancing, and acting lessons.
I would like to audition to test my abilities.
Hayashida Airi, 16 years old.
I don't have any confidence, but...
See you later.
Huh? You're going out?
I wanted to give it a try.
Yeah, to a friend's.
I've never sung or danced before,
Name Hayashida Airi
but thank you for letting me audition.
Kikuma Kaya, 18 years old.
You're kidding, right?
I can't believe you slapped a customer
for touching your ass a little.
I decided to audition after seeing a magazine at work.
Hey! Those are my boots!
I want to change who I am,
so I want to give it a shot.
Name Kikuma Kaya
That's all.
Here's the girl I scouted.
Okamoto Miyu, 17 years old.
I'll snatch everyone's hearts with my pretty aura!
All right. Cast a delicious spell with me.
I'll put a stomach hold on your heart!
Become delicious!
I'm the nurturing, crybaby angel, Okamoto Miyu!
Moe! Moe!
Pretty! Pretty!
Name Okamoto Miyu
I will become an idol!
What do you think?
Her use of "stomach hold" is weird.
Right...
Well, whatever.
Let's include her.
I scouted two other girls, too.
What?
Nanase Yoshino, 16 years old.
Name Nanase Yoshino
She looks familiar.
You still don't have the eye for this.
She's well-known locally.
She used to be a child actor, and now she's a model.
She's even on local commercials.
You know, "Yan-yan-ya-yan, Yanagiyama"...
Oh, that.
She made it to the end of the regional group in last year's
Japan Girls' Collection, but didn't make it all the way.
Despite her confidence, she fell flat on her face.
It must have been disappointing for her.
Everyone wants to go to Tokyo, but there's
no way someone who can't win in Sendai will make it nationally.
You have to win here first.
It's not too late to try after that.
Excuse me...
Well? What do you think?
Do I have to respond now?
Excuse me.
I think you already know your answer.
Excuse me!
What?!
You can't smoke here!
Name Nanase Yoshino
She failed? Just how competitive is the Japan Girls' Collection?
Regret and defeat make people grow.
There's one more girl...
Katayama Minami, 14 years old.
The winner is Number 8, Katayama Minami-san!
I found her at a singing competition.
She's a pretty good singer.
We need at least one of these.
Name Katayama Minami
There's no core.
Core?
A center... Someone to stand in the center.
Someone with a greater aura.
An aura, huh?
How's your scouting going?
What? But I already found one...
Don't be stupid!
Don't think you've accomplished anything by bringing me one girl!
What?
Bring me a diamond in the rough!
Otherwise, I'll hold back your pay to cut costs next month!
You're killing me...
Cream puffs!
Soft serve ice cream!
Caterpillars!
Maggots!
You maggots!
What was that about?
Hello?
Yeah, I can talk.
Oh, sorry.
I want to go see your concert, but I'm busy with work.
Sorry. Do your best.
Me?
I gave up on that long ago.
I haven't touched my guitar.
Yeah, thanks.
Later.
Dreams, huh?
Maybe I can dream.
The prism of the sky points to the location of happiness
If you find it, please, wait for me there
I'll go as soon as I wake from my slumber
I'll go right away
This girl...
Crap!
I-I'm sorry.
Your aura...
What?
Would you like to become an idol?
I'm sorry.
Wait!
I'm a manager for the Green Leaves Talent Agency.
What?
We're currently searching for girls to become idols, so...
I'm sorry!
Wait!
Will you at least take my card?
If you're interested, call—
I'm sorry.
I'm not interested in that kind of thing.
Was that...
Mayu!
Sorry I'm late.
Did you wait long?
No, not at all.
Anyway, about this...
Yeah.
I passed the first test.
Congratulations.
Sorry.
Was that inconsiderate?
Not at all.
Definitely not.
You sure?
Yeah.
In that case, as long as I'm being inconsiderate, I need a favor...
What?
You're the only one I can ask.
Huh?
PASS
You can do it! Idol Miyu
Green Leaves Entertainment Idol Auditions
President.
What?
I found a fantastic girl.
Really? Where's her resume?
I don't have it.
What?
I ran into her at the park the other day.
I tried talking to her, but she ran away.
Why did you let her run away?!
You're always like this!
You're a weakling who can't get it up when it counts!
Can't get it...
But from her uniform's design, I determined her school...
You did?! Where is it?!
Yes!
Excuse me. Are you holding auditions here?
You...
Why, if it isn't Shimada Mayu!
What? You know her?
Did you come to audition?
No, I'm just accompanying my friend.
I can go home now, right?
What? But...
You'll be fine.
You practiced so much.
Okay...
You can do it.
That's her! The one who ran away from me...
What did you say?!
Go after her!
Bring her back here!
Yes, ma'am!
Is that...
Wait.
Listen...
You understand now, don't you?
I really am a manager at a talent agency,
and I was really trying to scout—
I told you I'm not interested.
Listen to me.
If I let you leave, the president will...
That's not my problem.
Enough already!
Will you at least audition?
No.
She escaped again.
Shimada Mayu...
She's grown.
Um... Do you know her?
What?
You don't know who she is?
Nope.
How long have you been in the entertainment business?!
One year and three months.
You may be an insect on the bottom rung of the entertainment industry,
but you still need to know!
You don't need to be so harsh...
She's a first generation member of the I-1 Club
and former center, Shimada Mayu!
What?!
To say that she pushed the originally lackluster I-1 Club
to the top of the world of idols...
no, to the top of the world of entertainment,
wouldn't be an exaggeration.
They had finally made it big.
It was immediately after that...
She lost a center battle or something and suddenly graduated.
Her fans and the media had a field day with it.
She disappeared, shrouded in mystery, but I had no idea she was here.
If you had your eye on her, you're not completely blind.
Is that right?
That's not a compliment.
Until you catch her, you're still less than a maggot.
I see...
What was she doing here?
The audition will now begin.
Good work.
Before you go, I have one more question.
Are you virgins?
So, what do you think? Who are you going to pass?
They all pass.
What?!
After all, we can't form a group without at least this many girls.
Yes, but...
That's not the only reason.
As a parasite, though, I'm sure you don't understand.
I see...
Matsuda, what do you think an idol is?
What? Who knows?
They're stories.
Stories?
Stories represent possibility.
Those girls are full of possibility.
Is that right?
But we're missing one.
These six girls don't smell like money.
I need her after all.
Excuse me, but it's time to leave.
Hey! You can't smoke in here!
I told you!
Huh?
I'm sorry. I'll scold him later.
What?!
[Former I-1] Where is Shimada Mayu now? [Whereabouts unknown]
Where is she now? 2nd post get
She was the cancer of I-1 They were right to get rid of her Management was right lol
I heard she demanded President Shiraki give her special treatment
How did she get that idea...
Shimada is a shitty bitch lololololololol
She disappeared with a guy Maybe she's pregnant now lolololol
This is it...
We'll Show You Everything!!
Thank you.
We Buy High Nationally Popular Artist CDs
Used CDs and Records
Well? Did "I-1 Club: We'll Show You Everything!!" come in?
Yeah. That customer just bought it.
What?!
Mayu.
O-Oh...
How did it go?
I passed!
All right!
That's great!
Thanks!
I'm really happy for you.
You seem so happy.
It's all thanks to you.
If you hadn't helped me train, I wouldn't have passed.
That's not true.
It is true.
No, you need to hold your mic in front of your mouth.
O-Okay.
One more time.
Okay.
Because the night is cold, tomorrow...
The mic is bothering me, and I can't sing!
Let me see that.
Remember this distance between your mouth and the mic.
Huh.
Give it a try.
Because the night is cold...
I didn't actually sing very well, though.
I see...
But thanks, really.
It's fine.
Anyway, I was thinking...
What?
Well...
You should audition, too.
Sorry.
Huh?
Don't worry about it.
But...
Let me thank you by treating you to something.
Let's go to Large Boy.
Okay.
Once again, I'm the company's president and producer, Tange Junko.
And this is your manager...
I'm Matsuda Kohei.
Feel free to use him like a dirty, old rag.
Moving on...
Wake... up...
"Wake Up, Girls!"
This is your group name.
What does it mean?
"Rise and shine, little girls?"
It's "WUG" for short.
Goal
There once was an English duo called Wham!
Goal Red vs. White Concert!!
Well, whatever.
We'll ambitiously aim for the Red vs. White Concert!
Until then, you'll be working your butts off.
Let's celebrate the formation of Wake Up, Girls! with a drink.
Cheers!
Hayashida-san.
Yes?
How's Shimada-san doing?
What?
Hey, bring Shimada Mayu here.
Do whatever it takes.
President, I'll do something about her.
Will you be okay?
Shimada Mayu? Do you mean that Shimada Mayu?
That's right.
Wow.
Shimada Mayu?
She was an idol in the I-1 Club.
Is it because she was in the I-1 Club?
Of course.
She's the last piece of the group.
Does this mean we're not fully formed yet?
Well... We'll start with this and wait for her.
But...
Hey, give me one.
You shouldn't get your hopes up.
Sure.
What do you mean?
I invited Mayu to the audition, but she refused.
What is this?
This is good.
Will you let us see her?
This is great. What flavor is this?
Sure, but it won't work.
It's pizza flavor.
Huh.
For Mayu, idols are a source of pain.
I'm prepared to be rejected.
What?
I have nothing to lose. I just want to ask her one more time.
What should I do?
Green Leaves Entertainment
Good work today!
I'm finally an idol!
I can't stop shaking!
I hope we'll get to sing a lot.
You'll be made to sing until your throat collapses.
Wow...
I don't want that...
In that case, you should train, so that doesn't happen.
You're confident in yourself?
Of course I am.
Becoming an idol is simply a stepping stone for me.
I have an even more impressive goal.
You're awfully ambitious.
Anyway, leader, I look forward to working with you.
Why me?
You have experience in the entertainment industry.
You're dependable.
I haven't made it past the local scene, though.
If Shimada Mayu joined us, that would be amazing.
We might end up being pretty popular.
You think so?
I hope she'll join.
Huh?
This is...
Huh? What, what, what?
What?!
Thanks for meeting me.
I only came because Airi insisted I come.
I refuse to become a member.
Are you harassing me?
No, I'm not.
You're shining in this video.
Listen.
I've never managed idols before, so maybe I don't understand...
but I don't think many people can make others happy like this.
So, what?
You're definitely one of them.
Seeing this video, and watching you dance,
encourages me to work harder.
I don't know how to say this,
but idols have the power to encourage and embolden people.
At least, I think they do.
We want to make that kind of idol group,
and we need you to do that.
That's irrelevant.
I know I don't have the power to make others happy.
I can't even make the people around me or myself happy.
Encouraging or emboldening others is unthinkable.
Excuse me.
Wait!
See for yourself.
Mayu.
Sorry, Mayu.
I thought it would make you more positive,
but I shouldn't have interfered.
I'm really sorry.
I'm not mad.
But Matsuda-san... I mean, that manager...
I don't think he's wrong.
And, um...
I wish you would sing again, too.
Sorry, but I can't.
Yoshikawa Megumi
From: Yoshikawa Megumi Subject: Tokyo Dome!!! Mayu! We're finally going to the Tokyo Dome! Our dream has come true! I'm sorry we couldn't go together, but I'll sing for you! Megumi.
Mayu! We're finally going to the Tokyo Dome!
Our dream has come true!
I'm sorry we couldn't go together, but I'll sing for you!
Megumi.
I'm going to talk to the President!
It's no use.
But this...
This isn't fair!
Don't cry, Mayu.
New Message To: Yoshikawa Megumi Subject: Re: Tokyo Dome!!! Congratulations. You can do it!
Sending
We will finally stand in the place of our dreams.
I-1 Club Tokyo Dome Concert Press Conference
However, instead of getting carried away,
we will focus on granting the many wishes of our fans and work hard
in preparation for the first day of the concert.
I am deeply honored to stand in the middle of the idol world,
the Tokyo Dome, in the center position.
I promise it will be our best performance yet.
The Tokyo Dome has been a big goal for the I-1 Club.
However, now that it has become reality, that goal becomes a stepping stone.
The I-1 Club will set their sights even higher...
Grandpa.
Whoops.
Huh? Where's Mom?
She said she'd be late today.
Is she working late?
She's been working late a lot recently.
You're right.
Maybe she's trying not to be too much of a sponge.
Mayu...
She's not a sponge.
Thanks for the food.
Welcome home.
I'm home.
You're early. I'll make you some dinner.
I don't need any. I already ate.
I told you I'd be late.
You don't have to put it like that.
Don't be so selfish.
Mayu-chan...
Selfish?
Are you one to talk?
What a difficult world we live in.
Everyone's always talking about money.
So, how was it?
Well, I finally found someone.
I decided to hire a local composer.
I wanted to ask a successful idol songwriter,
but I couldn't afford it.
Isn't this how most ventures start?
So, how are the girls doing?
They do voice and dance training twice a week, but...
They lack unity.
Their singing abilities are all over the place,
and they feel nothing like a group.
They lack cooperation.
They're only thinking of themselves.
Like each one only cares about standing out on her own.
They don't seem to be coming together.
I see. I knew it.
You knew it? Are you okay with this?
When they encounter an obstacle they can't overcome separately,
they'll come together.
When is that going to happen?
It's already begun.
Huh?

Wake Up, Girls! Mini-Concert
Trials bring people together.
Sorry. We usually use this place for storage.
I forgot to tell the delivery men about your concert today.
Can you do something about this?
We don't have enough people right now.
Kaya?
There.
So, where should I put this?
Oh, thanks. Over here.
Okay.
I'll help, too.
What? We're doing this?
Let's get this stuff out of the way.
And now that we have...
Is this how we're performing, leader?
Well, it's a job...
But even if we sing...
Hello! We're Wake Up, Girls!
Feel free to listen to our song!
Uh... Please listen!
I may say that, but I actually really, really, love you!
Shall we crawl? The wavering of life!
I can't do this anymore!
It's a waste of singing and dancing!
It's our first performance.
We don't have our own songs, and we haven't even debuted properly.
Matsuda-san's still not here?
He's getting the car now.
What? We haven't debuted yet?
But we have a group name.
It's not a group name. It's the name of a love hotel.
Normally, your debut happens when you release a song.
Really?
They said we'd have a debut song soon, but it's taking a while.
I want to sing soon.
I'm exhausted.
If it's going to be like this, there's no reason to continue.
What? Nanami, you're going to quit?
You're annoying.
It can even be an indie label.
If we don't debut, we won't get anywhere.
Yeah, but I'm a little disappointed.
You're not as good as I thought.
What do you mean, we're not good?
Who cares?
I'm hungry.
Green Leaves Entertainment
Is the song ready?
Of course it is.
Debut Single
Would you like to hear it?
Yes!
This song...
It's enka...
A man's life!
Why is it an enka song?
Because it was cheap.
You don't like it?
I made a new one.
How's this?
This song...
What is this?
Die covered in blood!
Kill!
Please take this seriously!
You don't like it?
We haven't come together yet.
Everyone's got a strong sense of individuality.
Individuality is important.
You're right.
In that respect, they're all interesting girls.
Sounds fun.
Huh?
I guess.
Actually...
It's supposed to be a secret,
but maybe I'll tell you.
Huh? What is it?
At the end of the year, we're going to release our debut CD.
What? Really?
It's an indie label, though.
That's great, Airi!
You're finally making your debut!
Yeah!
Good work, Twinkle.
You wrote a good song.
You should've asked us in the first place.
You made a group? They're cute.
I suppose.
Why did Twinkle write a song for us?
The President is on good terms with them.
Good terms?
It means they're friends.
Tange-san helped us so much during our debut.
We had to thank her somehow.
With this debut song, we'll hold your debut event
on December 20th at MACANA!
We don't have much time.
You're right.
What about our costumes?
We haven't talked about that yet.
President?
Huh? What?
Stop that!
We're putting on our debut concert!
Come check it out!
I'm so nervous with the concert coming up.
If you start getting nervous now, you'll be in big trouble.
I've been working pretty hard.
I know.
I'm going to go practice.
You can do it.
Yeah! Later.
It's so cold.
Good morning.
Stand Up!
14 days until the concert!!
I wonder if they'll sell.
We made so many...
Huh? The president's desk...
My beloved darling is having an emergency. I'm leaving Sendai for a while.
What?
Yes.
I'm still confirming the receipts.
I'm sorry.
She didn't deposit the money.
You're kidding, right?
The president would never do that, right?
In other words, she disappeared, right?
With all of our funds?
Um... How are we going to...
Is our concert going to be canceled?
The CDs and concert hall haven't been paid for.
If we can't pay, we can't work.
But...
In any case, we don't have money.
Aw man...
We're being disbanded before our debut.
This is a blow to my pride.
I want to do the concert.
Me, too.
Isn't there something we can do?
I wish we could!
Sorry.
What have we been doing?
I want the time I wasted returned.
You're kidding.
We worked so hard, but it was all for nothing.
I don't want to think we were deceived.
After all, we worked so hard.
But...
This...
This isn't fair!
I wonder if there's really no way.
We'll Show You Everything!!
...is my guide for today
I love you (I love you) I really love you (I really love you)
I love that I can tell you I love you
I love you (I love you) I really love you (I really love you)
I am here, so I can say that
We always make dreams come true
Mayu-chan, where are you going?
Yes! Yes! No one can stop us
Aw... what a waste.
There's nothing we can do.
But we have outstanding payments.
Should we sell them ourselves?
Who would buy the CD of a group that disbanded before it debuted?
I had you come today to discuss the CDs and
what we should do going forward.
Don't worry about the overstocked CDs or other outstanding payments.
I'll handle it... probably.
Really?
Uh... I really will handle it.
Don't worry about it.
But you've worked so hard on the debut concert...
Is there any point?
We can't debut anymore.
A concert would be a waste of time.
Um...
I agree.
Instead of continuing to struggle, we should think about our futures.
Listen...
Is this the end?
We worked so hard.
Listen...
Listen!
What?
We've made all kinds of preparations and worked really hard.
Even if it's our last performance, I want to do it.
I want to be an idol.
Didn't you all want to become idols?
Let's make our dreams come true!
I want to do it!
It was my dream! I want to do it!
You're right.
But...
Why not? It's just once. I'll do it.
What?
Leader, let's do it!
Yeah, but...
Mayu!
Shimada Mayu...
Um...
Are you giving up on your concert?
What?
Well, we were just talking about it...
Don't give up!
If you give up, you'll regret it.
I finally understand.
I was lying to myself.
Um... What are you talking about?
I gave up on being an idol once.
Since then, I've been suppressing my feelings.
I rejected my love of singing and dancing.
I was afraid of getting hurt again.
But since this audition and my friend becoming an idol,
watching her work made me realize I wanted to be an idol.
Mayu...
I decided to believe in myself again and become an idol once more.
Please let me be an idol!
I'm Shimada Mayu.
Unlike everyone else, I haven't auditioned.
But I came here because I wanted to join the group
Please let me join Wake Up, Girls!
Please!
You're kidding...
Shimada Mayu wants to join?
All right!
Wait!
Huh?
What do you think you're doing?
I know something of your past.
You have my sympathy.
But I don't think it's right to accept you into the group so easily.
We haven't even decided if we're going to keep working.
I want to know if you're prepared to handle that.
I want to make myself happy.
What?
Everyone wants to make themselves happy.
That's why you're here.
No matter what challenges await you, that feeling doesn't change.
I realized that.
I don't want to give up anymore.
That's all.
I see.
You'll catch a cold.
Come on! Let's do it.
With you on our side, I feel like it'll work out.
You've been watching us practice, haven't you?
What?
You looked like you wanted to join us.
Come on, then. Let's do it.
This may be our last performance, but let's go out with a bang.
Yeah!
We're going to do it!
All right!
That's great!
Huh? What's going on?
Are we really doing it?
Come on.
We need a practical plan.
I'll somehow find a location for the concert!
What? Really?
Leave it to me!
If I can't handle that, I'll be a disgrace to the Date Clan!
SENDAI Student Metal Band Concert
It's so cold!
The Date Clan must be rolling in their graves.
We signed up at the last minute, and we only have one song.
I don't know about this.
But we're the only ones here that can score moe points!
Moe?
Moe!
In any case, we get to perform.
Let's do our best.
Wake Up, Girls!
We're holding our debut concert at 7:45 pm!
Check it out.
This is...
I'm shaking with cold and anxiety.
Look, my breath is so white.
No one's here.
Maybe it's too cold.
Even if there's no one here or it's cold,
we'll give it everything we have.
Isn't that what it means to be a pro?
Right, Nanami?
Huh?
Are you cold? Nervous?
Are you okay?
I'm... fine...
It's almost your turn.
Get ready.
You're all over the place.
Sorry I couldn't get you costumes.
That's fine.
Oh, right.
You need show-off panties.
I'll go buy some.
Who cares?
What?
It doesn't cost us anything to show our underwear.
Besides, there's no time.
Let's get ready.
Well, this is our first and last concert.
We don't want to be stingy.
It's a little extra for the audience.
Nanami, can you do it?
Yeah...
I'm nervous, too.
Relax, relax.
Nanase-san.
Come on, everyone.
Um...
Leader, lead the cheer.
But I haven't thought of anything.
How about "Let's do this"?
When I say "Let's do this," you say "Wake Up, Girls!"
Okay.
Sure.
Okay.
All right.
Go ahead.
Let's do it.
Wake Up, Girls!
SENDAI Student Metal Band Concert
What?!
Is that...
We're the Sendai-based group, Wake Up, Girls!
Um... This is our debut concert.
We were allowed to participate in today's concert at the last minute.
We still only have one song, but, um...
We'll sing our hearts out.
Please listen to our song.
That's Shimada Mayu!
Believing I could not dream
I protected my small, quiet self
Badly hurt, to the harsh sea
Afraid, I quickly turned my back
But I am who I am
No tricks will work against me
I decided I could only move forward without giving up
WAKE UP bathed in bright sunlight
The hope in my heart overlaps with you
STAND UP there is no night that does not end
Believe in tomorrow's smile
Shine MY ONLY ONE
I cried forever, I shouted forever
I searched for my lost love forever
The moment I stood on the edge of despair
I heard the sound of a kind wind
Then I found it
This is my stage
I fly into that sky once again
WAKE UP it opened my eyes
Because you don't want to cry anymore
STAND UP the future lies ahead
That's why we now depart
Watch me MY ONLY ONE
More, more I want to tell you how I feel
There is something I can't give up no matter how much I'm hurt
Listen, listen I'll sing my heart out
I don't care if they laugh at me
I won't lose
Stand up!
WAKE UP bathed in bright sunlight
The hope in my heart overlaps with you
STAND UP there is no night that does not end
Believe in tomorrow's smile
WAKE UP may my wish come true
I'm heading towards my dream now, hands outstretched
STAND UP let's run without doubts
To live in this world
With you MY ONLY ONE
We're finally at the Tokyo Dome of our dreams!!
We're finally here at the Tokyo Dome of our dreams!
Thank you!
Everyone, do you love the I-1 Club?
SENDAI Student Metal Band Concert
Thank you very much!
Encore! Encore!
Um, uh...
We only have this one song, though...
Okay!
All right!
What? An encore?!
What are we supposed to do?
What is the future of Wake Up, Girls! and me?!
