A light comes out of the darkness...
A heart that makes a flower bloom in the wilderness
journeys through the sky.
Music changes the world.
Beating so fast, seems like it'll burst.
1000% love!

My heart

Seven Colored Compass
Please!
Please... I really want to take that entrance examination!
Forget it!
No one is allowed in past the set time.
Please! I...
I have to take that test!
I want to study music here at Saotome Academy!
Stop being such a pest about it!
Give up and go home!
Wait! Please, wait!
Are you okay?
I wouldn't want you to catch cold.
Who are you?
An examinee.
Hey, you can see how badly she wants it.
Why not let her in?
She's late, but there are still 30 minutes before the test starts.
Can't do it!
Late is late.
Being less than punctual proves that she doesn't belong at Saotome Academy.
That depends on the reason, doesn't it?
This lady is late...
because she stopped to help a lost child.
If I had known this little lamb was going to take the academy entrance exam today,
I would've given her a lift...
See, the little girl she helped lost her umbrella.
Don't worry, though. I bought her a new one.
And she seems to like it.
In my opinion, a student who helps a lost child when it's snowing outside
is exactly the kind of student this school needs.
Exactly!
So let her take the test!
Please!
How many times do we have to say "no"?!
We cannot let you in!
Now go home!
Hello?
Don't be like that!
Please!
Yes?
Of course...
Understood!
It's okay...
You can go in.
Then...
They are making an exception.
You can take the test.
Thank you!
You did it!
Thank you!
You've got a way with words.
Good luck on the exam, little lamb.
Let's meet again in April.
Let's both do our best!
Yes!
Dear Grandma,
I'm a lucky girl to have been helped out by two kind gentlemen.
Thanks to them...
I passed!
From today, I'm a student at Saotome Academy!
Haruka!
Yay!!
Haruka, we're in the same class!
This is Shibuya Tomochika-san.
I met her at the examination hall.
She's a really energetic, reliable friend.
Shibuya-san!
Shibuya-san?
Just call me Tomo-chan!
Especially since we'll be living together from now on!
Sure.
Saotome Academy is a school for the performing arts.
It's a Boarding School.
Shibuya Tomochika-san and I are going to be roommates.
For the next year, I'm going to study, hoping to become a composer.
Well, everyone, welcome to the Saotome Academy Entrance Ceremony.
First, an address from the headmaster.
Not again...
Anyone who doesn't know love, don't even think to speak of songs!
Just leave here at once!
S-Someone's over there!
The beating of a heart is the first source of music!
Yes, my friends.
The headmaster is me, Shining Saotome!
Welcome to Saotome Academy, or rather, to this shining world!
Music is love!
Come now, soul! Enshrine it!
Put your whole soul into the songs!
Make your life bloom!
Shine ever brighter, people!
Congratulations on your acceptance here!
Thank you!
W-Wow...
That's the headmaster?!
He used to be the super idol, Shining Saotome.
It seems this school owes its existence to the super megahit song
"Owing to Love", which sold 20 millions CDs.
20 millions CDs?!
Anyway, from first to last, this school is first class.
That was you!
All right! We're in the same class!
Thank you for helping me the day of the entrance exam.
So this is Lifesaver "A"?
"A"?
I'm Itoki Otoya.
Nice to meet you again.
I'm Shibuya Tomochika.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Nanami Haruka.
Huh! Haruka-chan, eh?!
Anyhow, good thing you were able to take the test!
Elizabeth!!
Get off of me!
Huh?
That was close.
Th-Thank you.
No need to thank me.
What was that about?!
Somebody could've gotten hurt!
I beg your pardon.
She looks so much like Elizabeth that I lost it for a moment there...
E-Eli...?
I look like someone from another country?
No, our family dog.
Elizabeth, so tiny and cute!
We've been apart ever since I moved into the dorm!
I'm Shinomiya Natsuki.
I love things that are small and cute.
I'm Nanami.
I'm Hijirikawa Masato.
I'm Nanami Haruka.
Nice to meet you.
Since you're Natsuki, how about I call you "Na-chan"?
Na-chan?
"Na-chan" is cute, isn't it?
I like it.
For Masato, "Masa" is good, right?
Whatever you want.
Masato-kun is super duper cute!
Noisy, aren't they?
Totally!
Chattering on and on...
How annoying...
Good morning-pu!
Okay, okay, everyone, take your seats!
Tsukimiya Ringo!
What a superstar idol!
Cute!
I'm the very picture of a maiden, Tsukimiya Ringo!
I'm in charge of A Class here!
Call me Ringo-sensei!
It's a pleasure to meet you!
Even right in front of us, you can't tell he's a man, you know?!
That person is a man?!
You haven't heard of Tsukimiya Ringo?!
You need impact to be a hit on TV!
Isn't that common sense?!
You really didn't know him?
Actually... We don't have a TV in our house...
Huh?! Does your family live in a cave?!
A fierce selection process!
These days, he's the talk to the town.
You are the top 0.5% that passed the exam!
He's a guy.
So welcome!
To Saotome Academy!
As you all know very well, Saotome Academy is a vocational school
dedicated to cultivating idols and composers who write songs for them.
Our facilities and environment are also fabulous!
Every single homeroom teacher here is a working idol!
All of the other teachers are famous, first rate poets and composers!
If you distinguish yourself,
you may just be in for a major debut!
So with that in mind, I hope you're all raring to go!
Between the entrance ceremony and homeroom, what a strong impression!
Too much to take in!
And this place is so huge...
That's what they said about the Titanic...
So anyway, what are you gonna eat?
I'm gonna get a hamburger.
You have to pay with this card.
Tomo-chan!
Wait!
Got it.
Safe!
Here.
Thank you.
Careful there, Munchkin.
Munchkin?!
I had my eye on this lady first.
Ren! My name ain't "Munchkin"!
It's Kurusu Shou!
Um, thank you for helping me the day of the entrance exam!
Meeting you again must be fate.
A flirt, as always.
And as always, you're a stiff.
W-What?!
Lifesaver "B" was Jinguji Ren?!
Yes...
Do you know him?
I don't know him... He's famous!
He's a scion of the Jinguji Financial Group!
Really?!
And Hijirikawa Masato is a scion of the Hijirikawa Financial Group!
Whoa...
I didn't think the eldest Hijirikawa son would be in a A Class.
Soon enough, I'll use my ability to turn things around.
I'm looking forward to it.
When two scions meet, it's like the claws come out...
And on top of that, one of them is in S Class,
which is only for the highest achieving students.
So that's what made you decide to come here.
Even so...
as might be expected of a gathering of idol hopefuls,
the level of the males here is off the charts!
Level?
It's tough being a girl when there are so many hot princes around.
I guess you could say that they're "princes of song".
Or something like that...
Princes of song...?
Today wore me out...
I'll do my best!
So that one day, I'll be able to make a song for you, Hayato-sama!
About that...
Why are you so into Hayato?
I mean, Hayato's like...
Good morning!
I hope everyone's doing fine on this fine day!
He's like a totally frivolous comedy idol.
But...
Hayato-sama's song are wonderful.
I had poor health as a child,
so I was sent to live with my grandma in the country.
But when I occasionally returned to the city,
I couldn't get used to it.
Go to hell!
You go to hell!
It was like I was cast out into a turbulent sea of sound...
I was on the verge of fainting...
Ah, this sound of dark wind
delivered only to you...
Feeling heart...
But then...
a song came down from the sky.
You don't have to cry anymore.
Just stay the way you are.
Look up at the sky.
Ah, my sweetest love...
Blue...
That teardrop that rolls down a blue glistening cheek...
Rise...
Did you know about the light that leads to tomorrow?
Truth...
Maybe you still don't know yourself that well.
I'm sure that tear will become a rainbow to guide you.
If you get chilled on your long journey,
Ah, I'll warm you up with a song.
Maybe everything you wish for won't become stars,
But if you have a dream to believe in,
they'll be thousands of the most glittering jewels in the night sky.
It was the first time I'd ever experienced anything like that.
It was different from the music I'd heard at Grandma's house...
But it took hold of something deep in my heart.
It was a stirring song...
And somehow also kind.
Certainly, Hayato was like that around the time of his debut.
I didn't know his name at the time...
But I thought to myself that I wanted to make music like that.
A song that he would sing someday...
You're lucky...
To have such a tight hold on a goal you can believe in.
At last, the extremely fierce war is about to start...
How many of these people will be left at the end?
Once more...
We start classes tomorrow and I haven't unpacked at all!
Hey, are you thirsty?
I'll buy us something to drink.
Thank you...
Oh! Where did you come from?
No, no!
Wait! Give that back!
Wait!
I would never have imagined the fateful incident that was about to occur to me.
Where'd that kitty go?
Thank goodness!
Hayato-sama...
Um... I'm a fan.
I never would've thought I'd be able to meet you here, Hayato-sama...
I'm Ichinose Tokiya.
Please don't confuse me with that shallow dullard, Hayato.
Grandma... What could this mean?
I'm sure the man standing before me is Hayato-sama...
So, why...?!
kono mune ni kizamareta
It has been carved into my heart.
First impact.
First soul beat.
seijaku ni yureru machi
The city is shaking silently.
anju no uta wa doko e?
Where did the song that's carved into our memories go?
samayotta meiro no hate
We've wandered melody's unseen borders.
Just believe.
Just missing.
ima kimi wa nani wo negau?
What do you wish to do now?
Sing your song.
hanaretete mo wakaru yo
I would know even if we got separated.
Hear my wings tonight.
gatteru sora wa hitotsu
We're connected under the same sky after all.
kagirinai brand new sky
It's a brand new endless sky.
bokura wa hitori janai kara
We are not alone.
haruka na kimi no Love song habataite
Your distant love song takes flight.
shinjiyou Shining Day
I will believe in the shining day.
futari no zettaiteki na ai no Heart Chain
This is the absolute heart chain of our love.
Do you have innocence?
You feel me? Touch me.
kono kodou ga negai dakara
That pulsation is exactly what I seek.
sou yoake matsu sekai e hibike
Sing to the world that's waiting for the break of dawn.
Orpheus Heart.
See you next week for another Uta-Pri-nya!
We love you all!
