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.
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.
Haruka, where were you?!
I was worried when you suddenly disappeared!
Sorry...
A cat had my handkerchief in its mouth...
A cat?
When I chased after it...
I ran into Hayato-sama.
But it wasn't him...
I'm Ichinose Tokiya.
But... you're really Hayato-sama, right?
Oh, no!
Wrong!
That's wrong-o!
Headmaster, how long have you been here?
Me? I've been here all along.
Then you overheard everything?
You could say that.
He is not Hayato!
He is Hayato's younger twin brother...
Ichinose Tokiya.
Younger twin brother...?
Certainly, his voice is different, but...
he has the same pitch as Hayato-sama.
That's because they're identical twins.
Nothing unusual about that, is there?
It's a pain...
being mistaken for that frivolous idol.
Hayato-sama is not frivolous!
Besides that, he's your twin, isn't he?
It's not good to talk about your brother like that!
But there's your chance, right?
If you get chummy with him, you may be able to meet your heartthrob, Hayato-sama!
I-I...
I know! I know!
You don't like making those kinds of connections, do you, Haruka?
No...
Well, classes start tomorrow, so let's do our best!
Yep!
Dear Grandma,
My heart is going pit-a-pat.
Good morning!
At last, my classes at Saotome Academy start today.
Everyone here...
has survived the fierce entrance examination battle...
But your real battle begins today.
People in the idol course, raise your hands!
Then, people in the musical composition course...
I see. So we've got kids who aim to become idols
and kids who aim to compose for the idols.
You'll be studying together in order to acquaint yourselves with each other,
but at the end of the first term,
the idol course students and composition students will pair up!
Pair up?
And your partner...
won't necessarily have to come from this S class!
You're free to pick a partner of your liking from A class, B class, or any class.
Your graduation audition will be performed in that pairing!
And the road to a major debut will be opened to the victorious pair!
Until the official pairs are decided at the end of the first term...
You should get to know a lot of people and search for your perfect partner!
And one more thing!
There's a very important rule!
Rule?
That rule is...
Romance is absolutely forbidden!
Dating between the sexes is outlawed!
Offenders will be expelled immediately, no matter what the reason!
That is the academy's rule!
Now, let's start with checking everybody's capabilities
by having a recording contest!
There it is!
Am I going to sing too?
I'm going to pair you up for this one time only.
The idol course kids will write the lyrics...
and the composer course kids will write the music.
L-Lyrics?!
Write the music?!
How can I suddenly make music...?!
I randomly drew lots to decide on the pairs!
After all, in show business, luck is also part of ability.
I don't believe this...
I'm with...

Ittoki-kun?!
All right!
I'm paired up with Nanami!
I'm looking forward to it!
Let's do our best!
I-I'm looking forward to it, too!
Okay!
As a reference point, let's listen to the best tune from last year.
Accompanying on piano will be...
Nanami Haruka-chan!
M-Me?!
That's right! If you would...
All you have to do is play the melody.
Please start from letter A, after the 16th bar of the intro cut.
Where the repeat mark is...
Huh? Would you rather play from a chord sheet?
What should I do?
I don't understand it...
What is it? What's wrong?
What's the matter?
Um...
Maybe she doesn't know how to read music?
No way!
Seriously?
I can't believe it!
Why?!
Don't tell me she can't even play the piano...
I can play the piano!
My grandma taught me!
Her grandma?!
She isn't studying with a professional teacher?
Then how did she get in here?
Maybe through a connection...
I...
Nanami, don't listen to them!
You're the one who's in for trouble, Ittoki-kun.
Getting teamed up with that girl...
That's out of line!
You'll catch a cold.
I-Ittoki-kun...
He's helping me again...
Ittoki-kun really is kind.
Look, it'll be okay.
Reading a score and all that... If you study from here on out...
But I've never composed music before...
It'll be all right, I tell you!
Beginner
I've never written lyrics before either!
Then you're the same as me, right?
We're in the same boat!
Nanami, you must've come here because you wanted to do something too, yeah?
In that case...
you can't give up.
I've been singing for as long as I can remember.
Even if you're feeling blue, singing cheers you up, doesn't it?
So...
When I make my debut, I hope someone is encouraged by my songs.
Anyway, for now, I'll try to write lyrics for one verse by tomorrow.
I...
I'll study musical scores and composition!
Yeah! Let's both do our best!
Okay!
I can't drag Ittoki-kun down...
I have to...
I have to study!
I have to repay Ittoki-kun's kindness...
by writing a good song!
She's surprisingly positive, isn't she?
That puts my mind at ease.
Yeah, there it is!
Time to write!
But what should I write?
Hmmm...
I can't do it after all?!
Shouldn't it just, like, come to me in a flash...?
I can't concentrate if it's noisy.
Sorry! Sorry!
You can be noisy too, Tokiya.
That's not the point. I'm saying that I want you to be quiet!
Eh...? But I have to write song lyrics...
That's it!
Tokiya, how are you gonna write your lyrics?
I'm not obliged to tell you that.
Oh, it's okay! Come on, tell me!
Please! Pretty please?!
Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!
Come on!
Fine, if I must...
I'm only going to say this once.
Thank you, Tokiya!
First, decide on the motif that will become your theme.
From there, you can freely associate...
Thank you, Tokiya...
I think I'll ask the others, too...
Here, please put this on.
You're already cute and petite, Syo-chan, so this'll make you even cuter.
Cute?
Why, you...!
I already told you, I don't wanna hear that "keyword" come out of your mouth!
W-What?! What's so funny?!
Natsuki...
Let go of me!!
Gotcha!
What are you doing?
Writing lyrics?
Yeah.
The stars transmit pretty words into your head,
so all you have to do is remember them.
S-Stars?
Yes, the stars.
This isn't helpful...
It's pointless to ask a genius like Natsuki.
Those who aren't geniuses only have effort.
Don't move!
Cute!
All you can do is use effort to compensate for a deficiency of talent.
Cute! That's pretty, Syo-chan! Cute!
Look this way!
One question...
How many photos are you gonna take?!
How to come up with lyrics?
I was wondering how you do it, Ren.
See, I live to love beautiful ladies...
So all of the words that come out of my mouth are love songs.
I whisper words of love...
and they never fail to hit...
...my prey.
I don't know what you mean!
Masa, you're the only person I can count on. Help me!
Dam of the Heart
It's too idiosyncratic for me to follow.
Haruka!
Hey!
Are you all right?
Oh, sorry...
The more I think about it, the more I have no idea what kind of song to write.
I've learned how to read music, more or less, but...
In just one day?!
That's amazing, Haruka!
But composing a song is...
You're taking it too seriously.
I just slapped down lyrics off the top of my head.
Don't push yourself too hard.
I don't want to be a nuisance to Ittoki-kun.
I've got to make a song, and fast, or...
What am I doing?
If I fail here, there's no way I'll be able to write a song for Hayato-sama...
What should I do...?
Haru-chan...
Haru-chan, happy birthday!
Thank you, Grandma!
Happy Birthday, Haru-chan
I know! I'll give you a present too, Grandma!
I'll sing a song for you!
Oh, my!
It's a song I wrote for you, Grandma!
Grandma...
That's right.
I wrote her a song...
Are you okay?
I'm Ittoki Otoya.
Nice to meet you, again.
You'll catch a cold.
Kind... and cheerful Ittoki-kun...
Somehow, you remind me of a sunflower.
You're so full of life...
For encouraging me...
Thank you.
That's a nice tune.
Ittoki-kun!
Sorry...
But I do like that tune!
Somehow, I feel it right here.
I was just humming to myself.
No, you weren't! That was some fine composing!
You're satisfied with that?
I'm happy with that.
I came out here because I didn't have any ideas for lyrics...
You've inspired me!
Let's see...
Let's hope the futures that we make...
That ride this melody...
Overlap each other today...
Those are good lyrics!
How about continuing...
together?
Sure!
Let's hope the futures that we make...
That ride this melody...
Overlap each other today.
Unchanging and firm, like this phrase...
I don't wanna be apart from you!
Nanami...
I've put my feelings for you into these lyrics.
We stumble,
We fall, we go together...
Towards tomorrow.
Without you, even the normal stuff
Is just a mass of noise.
Let's ask God to stop this time.
Time leap and feedback.
It's enough to make me sigh.
I won't let 'em look away, I won't 'em look away...
Your eyes.
Let's smile with everything we got, and strive for tomorrow.
Make a peace sign with 100% energy.
At that time, I'll say
That word with two characters.
My lost heart will fly.
(I'll make tomorrow with you)
I'm charmed by you.
Beating so fast, seems like it'll burst.
1000% love!
Hey!
10!
Are you ready?
9!
Are you ready?
8!
Are you ready?
7!
6!
5!
Are you ready?
4!
Are you ready?
3!
Are you ready?
2!
1!
Come on, let's sing!
Let's sing our dreams!
(Let's shout!)
Let's sing to the sky!
(Let's go!)
Let's tell a tale that bursts forth!
A map of the future!
(Yes! Yes!)
Let's draw it together!
This revolution!
(We are)
Let's go!
(St☆rish～!)
Change the star of love!
Check it out!
The last minute beating of hearts.
Oh, baby!
Love's impulsive becoming assertive...
Which do you choose, Princess?
It makes my head reel round!
1000% love!
Why?
Because I'm overflowing with you!
My heart
is agitated.
A marvelous rave!
Just you and me,
let's make up a constellation nobody's ever seen.
Better than a kiss,
let's create a great world out of song!
Come on, let's dance!
Let's dance to our dreams!
(Let's shout!)
Let's dance in the sky!
(Let's go!)
Too much is just enough!
You ready?
Your one time special life!
(Yes! Yes!)
Your one time special life!
This isn't in textbooks!
(We are)
(St☆rish～!)
Change the star of love!
Check it out!
Tonight, just you and me,
1000% love!
Watch Uta-Pri again next week! It's a promise!
