Where am I?
What happened?
Ow...
...and we come together, both of us,
our warmth and our everything
I don't need lies,
I don't need vague words,
Give it all to me
Even if I lose it all, I wouldn't care
So long as you're by my side
That would've been enough for me
I look up at the sky alone
Excuse me!
May I ask you something?
Hey! Could you tell me...
Who was the person on that screen up there?
Their song and dance was wonderful!
I want to sing and dance like that.
No! No!
I didn't mean that!
Wait...
Hey, let me join you!
I want to dance, too!
Sorry, that's impossible.
Why? Why is it impossible?
I mean you're clearly no BK.
BK?
If you're dressed like that,
you should go to the park plaza.
How I'm dressed doesn't matter.
What's important is what's inside.
There they are!
So what's your name?
Ieyasu.
Ieyasu?
That's cool!
You think?
Then let's do it together!
Okay.
First we'll dance, so watch.
Okay.
Huh?
Hey, why are you trying to stand out from us?
Sorry.
It was so fun I just...
Let me try again.
I don't think this is gonna work out.
If I can't dance...
I can sing!
Don't try to stand out from the rest of us!
Oh, happiness! Happiness!
Oh, happiness! Happineeeess!
Don't just come in here!
Shoo-shoo-shooby-doo-wah...
Lah-lahlah-lah...
Shooby-dooby—
Lah-lah-lah-lahlah-lah—
Don't try and stand out!
Why does everybody get mad at me
when I try to have fun singing and dancing?
Blame yourself, not others.
Don't give up before you try.
I'm hungry.
May I have a moment?
You're the one who's
trying to stand out everywhere she goes, right?
I didn't mean to, but...
I just wanted to sing and dance.
Her! Like her!
I wanted to be like her!
Oh, Rosary.
Rosary-san?
You want to be like her?
Yes, I do!
I see. So that's it.
Finally, someone who understands.
Um, do you think I could?
Is it impossible?
I don't think so.
If you leave it to me.
Estoir Productions?
Manager?
Yes, so I'm sure I can make you like Rosary!
But I'm not good at singing and dancing with others.
You don't have to be.
You've got something that nobody else can get,
no matter how hard they practice.
God-given talent.
So you'll be fine.
Really?
Yes.
In exchange, can you promise me you won't say
that you can't do it or you're giving up.
Yes!
Then the contract is complete.
Now, let's get started.
Don't ever let food go to waste.
Wait!
Is it all right if I eat first?
Certainly.
Come in.
Excuse me, president.
This is Ieyasu, the one I spoke to you about.
Oh, you're Ieyasu.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Likewise.
Here, sign this.
Contract
Contract?
You know, you just made that promise with me.
Then sign here if you would.
Okay.
Name:
Tokugawa Ieyasu
Okay, work hard now.
Right!
We'll get started right away.
What are we starting?
Lessons.
Singing and dance practice.
All right!
If you'll excuse me!
God-given talent, huh?
It's finally time for singing and dance lessons!
I'll do my best!
Enunciate!
It hurts!
It doesn't hurt.
From the diaphragm.
No, no. From your diaphragm.
Try harder!
Just like I thought.
She has something special.
Yeah, you're right.
But she's the one person who doesn't see it.
I'm exhausted.
But I gotta keep it up!
Oranges Cake Chocolate Chips
What's wrong with having a goal in life?!
No, no!
Wrong, wrong, wrong! Completely wrong!
Your words aren't reaching me here at all!
Don't waste my time, seriously.
And don't think being an idol is easy.
If you think you can make it without effort,
then you are sorely mistaken!
I'm not wasting your time.
I'm not!
Hey, wait.
Your lesson isn't over!
Ieyasu?
I just gave her a little bit of a hard time.
I'm sorry.
But I hope she truly understands
that she made me angry.
Yes.
I'll bring her back.
I can't do it.
In exchange, can you promise me you won't say
that you can't do it or you're giving up.
No, I can't do it.
I can't do this.
I can't be like Rosary-san.
That wasn't the deal.
You promised you wouldn't say that.
But... I can't...
I want to show you something.
But I've had enough.
I can't make it as an idol.
I understand.
However, you can still quit after you see it, okay?
Take a look.
I'm the one who arranged her debut.
I've seen lots of girls who wanted to be idols.
Song, dance, acting...
Lots of them had talent.
But, in the end, the only one who made it through...
was her.
So I can't do it, can I?
After all, I'm not amazing like her.
It wasn't talent that got her this far.
If it was, she would've gone even further.
But out of all the girls I've met,
she was the only one who never said
she couldn't do it or that she gave up.
She was the only one.
Can I ask you something?
Why did you approach me that day?
Hmm.
I suppose, because I felt you had some kind of regal bearing.
Regal bearing?
The cause of your own destruction is within you.
I'm sorry.
Let's remake that promise, okay?
Okay. Then one more time.
Can you promise me you won't say
that you can't do it or you're giving up.
Yeah.
Then let's head back.
Okay!
Good morning.
Um, hi.
Who are these people?
Your backup dancers.
Backup dancers...
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, nice to meet you.
So, on our schedule for today,
we're going to have dance practice...
Does she not remember?
Looks like she forgot.
Looks like it.
...will that be okay?
Yeah, I'll do my best.
There's something hidden in you that pulls me
Every time we pass by I want to see you
I want to let my feelings play like music
I feel like I can go anywhere
Come on, I want you to hold me right now!
I can't say that, so please just know! I'm going in circles around you
Loving so serious, no love ever stops.
I want to accept that I lose sight of things.
That's right, dance me so glorious, In a world we've never seen
We can test our love again and again, as we search for the answer
Ieyasu-kun was a bigger hit than we expected
That God-given talent you spoke of
is becoming more and more polished.
Yes.
And I just received a call,
that she'll be starring in that movie.
Wasn't Rosary supposed to take that role?
The director insisted.
I see.
So we have a new queen now.
You must have mixed thoughts on this.
It's not something that can be helped.
Tokugawa Ieyasu-sama
What do I do? What do I do?
I'm starring with Rosary-san!
And I finally get to meet her today!
What are we gonna talk about?
What should I say?
I hope we get along and that we can be friends!
First I have to introduce myself!
Rosary-sama
Yes?
It's really her voice!
I'm so nervous.
Who's there?
I-I-It's Ieyasu.
May I come in?
Go ahead.
Thank you!
I-I hope we can work well together!
I became an idol because I admired you!
And now we get to work together...
It's like a dream! I'm... I'm...
What am I saying?
Is that sarcasm?
What?
Did you come to laugh at me?
No, I don't want to do that.
Weekly Bust
New Idol Queen Ieyasu Overtakes Rosary
Um, these.
I... didn't know at all!
You don't have to pretend to be an idol in front of me.
You're only here because that manager said he'd
make you an idol, right?
I don't understand...
Didn't you know?
You can't have two top idols at one time.
Eventually, somebody will overtake you.
Even if there's nobody like you,
who's knocking me out of the top spot.
It's cruel, but you can't freeze time.
It hurts, but you have to know when
it's time to call it quits.
That's the rule of this world.
Not that my words are reaching you, I suppose.
I just wanted to be like you...
You want to be pathetic like me?
No you don't.
The person who makes the most people happy
is the one who flourishes the most.
Then you have to follow your own path.
What?
I...
I'm going to keep on being the top idol!
I see. If you can...
I don't think it's possible, though.
I see.
I came from the Sengoku world to this world...
So you remembered.
Ieyasu-dono.
Ieyasu!
Nobunaga-san!
It's been a long time, Ieyasu.
Thanks to you becoming one of these "idol" whatevers,
it was easy to find you.
Nobunaga-san, why...
To get back to our world, we need the power
of the Secret Treasures.
We can go back? From here to there?
Provided you get lots of Secret Treasures.
Then do you...
Ieyasu, I'm here to take your Secret Treasure.
If you don't want me to...
All right.
I'll give you my secret treasure.
Are you sure?
You won't be able to return after that.
I don't mind.
I'll stay here in this world.
And fight to the end as an idol here,
and rule!
All right.
If that's what you want, then I'll take it.
Ieyasu?
Nobunaga-san?
Your secret treasure is mine now.
Bye.
Nobunaga-san?
What?
Good luck in your fight.
You, too.
