Girls are born to shine.
They were meant to have fame and fortune!
Girls are born to dance.
They were meant to flaunt their beauty on stage!
Girls are born to sing.
They were meant to have a boundless future before them!
They yearn to become Prism Queens, idols to all girls!
They must dance, sing and dress with the times!
These girls lead a happy-go-lucky life, one you will now be a witness to.
Let's go!
I wonder what costumes they'll be wearing today?
Oh, look! Akkina-chan sent us an email.
I think you should wear these pants today, Reina.
But I like these more!
Mia
These are cuter!
No way! This design stands out more. It's way cuter!
Reina
This blouse matches that short pants better!
Hey! Both of you, cut it out!
This one is better!
Karin
Hey! Akkina-san sent us an email!
Oh?
Today's Theme is . . . Create a Well-Balanced Design!
Today's Lesson: Create a Well-Balanced Design!
A well-balanced design?
What does that mean?
Oh, there's more!
When designing an outfit, it's important to consider the shape of both the upper and lower halves. The three basic shapes are the triangle, inverse triangle and the net. Start by experimenting with these three patterns!
When designing an outfit, it's important to consider the shape of both the upper and lower halves.
The three basic shapes are the triangle, inverse triangle and the net. Start by experimenting with these three patterns!
That's it.
I'm not sure I understand.
Oh, I know!
By "triangle," she wants us to design elegant outfits!
I think a more subdued outfit would resemble a triangle.
Oh, I get it!
Oh...
So, an "inverse triangle" would emphasize the outfit's upper half.
A "net" is when the outfit's evenly proportionate.
Let's work together on the designs.
Okay.
Pretty Remake!
We'll start with the triangle.
Mia's Triangular Outfit
She's wearing a simple skirt and a rather plain T-shirt.
It's pretty well-balanced.
Reina's Inverse Triangle Outfit
Next, we have the inverse triangle.
She's wearing a loose hood with tight shorts.
Karin's Net Outfit
Finally, we have the net.
She's wearing a camisole and a tight skirt.
She looks really neat in that outfit.
It's much easier when you think about it in terms of shape!
Yeah.
They're working really hard today!
It's time for today's episode.
Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream!
Happy-Lucky-Go!
A-Awful...
Whatcha lookin' at?
Cut it out, Rabbie!
Oh, you got your mid-terms back!
Yeah. I flunked out!
Oh, don't say that!
You did pretty well.
Itsuki's gonna make fun of me when I get home.
Why? 89 percent is quite a good result!
I guess so.
I'd give my right arm to get 89 percent!
You're reading it upside down.
So, you see...
68 percent?!
Geez! Keep it down!
Right.
It's not a good grade, however you look at it.
Yeah.
Since I started middle school, it's the first time I've scored less than 60 percent.
You've been training so hard for the Prism Show that you haven't had time to study!
I can always take the make up test, so I'm not too worried, but if my grades get worse...
We won't let that happen!
What'll I do?
Heya, Aira! What's up?
Why the long face?
Rhythm-chan!
I was going over the mid-terms on my way home. I didn't do so well.
Oh, that won't do!
If you want to be a Prism Star, you'll need to work on your studies as well as your training!
Right, Teddie?
She's right, ya know?
I know, but still...
You look pretty happy. Did you do well on your test?
Well, I didn't study much for the last test, but I still did pretty well.
Wow!
Way to go, Rhythm!
Ta-da!
Rhythm's in a Pinch! Operation: STUDY!
WHAT?!
I can't participate in the Prism Show?!
Precisely.
Our motto is "Moderation in all things."
"Moderation in all things"?
This is the first time your grades have fallen since you started appearing in the Prism Show.
If things get worse, rumors will spread, and our company's reputation will suffer.
Your make up tests are next week, I take it.
Y-Yes, ma'am.
If you can exceed 70 percent in those exams, I will allow you to continue starring in the Prism Show.
That's absurd!
I've never scored above 70 percent in my life!
The make up tests are next Saturday, right?
That's the same day as the Prism Show.
Exactly.
But the tests are held during the morning.
We'll put you on at the end of the show. You'll be fine.
In other words, if you score above 70 percent, you will be permitted to perform on stage.
What if she doesn't?
You will be forced to retire.
Oh, no!
You can't force her to retire!
You've gotta study hard this time, Rhythm-chan!
Oh, Aira! Not you too...
You'll be fine!
I'll help you study!
You will?!
Oh, the beauty of friendship!
It's just one exam, and we've got a whole week to get you up to speed!
Actually, I failed three subjects.
You've gotta be kidding me!
It's true. She failed English, Math and Science!
You'll be fine!
It won't be fine at all!
Don't say that! You'll be fine, I promise!
I shouldn't have to mention this. You won't only be studying.
I expect you to practice your dancing as well, and perform a magnificent jump in the show next week.
I know that, but...
At least, we'll...
You'll be fine. We'll help you get above 70 percent on your make up tests.
Hello, everyone.
I am Akai.
I teach English.
I never knew you could speak English!
Of course I can!
While I studied fashion, I also studied languages from all over the world!
Let's continue.
We'll start with some vocabulary.
First word,
Undougutsu = sneakers.
Sneakers.
Good!
Next, keito = knitting wool.
Knitting wool.
Good!
Next, we have a buttoned-down shirt.
Buttoned-down shirt.
Umm, Akai-san.
What is it, Rhythm-chan?
So far, you've taught us nothing but fashion related terms.
That's not true!
Next, fruit.
Fruit.
Fruit-print shirt.
This is exactly what I was talking about!
Next, accordion pleats.
This won't help us learn English!
Accordion pleats!
Aira sure is having fun...
Mermaid Line.
Mermaid Line!
I'll be teaching you mathematics.
T-Thank you, sir.
So, Rhythm-chan. Is there something you don't understand?
Um, I don't get...
What's wrong, Rhythm-chan?
Well, whenever I try to understand math, *hic*
I get nervous and hiccup.
That's okay. You don't have to concentrate so hard.
"One apple, two mandarins." Try thinking about it in simple terms like that.
Of course!
Wow! My hiccups are gone!
Aira's right.
Math is a very simple subject.
Yes, sir!
Think about it this way.
Mathematics is a beautiful flower which God bestowed upon the world.
It has bloomed ubiquitously throughout the world in the form of formula, resulting in an exquisite flower garden...
He means that math is about adding and subtracting apples, and God gave us brackets to use in mathematical equations...
I-I get it...
So, what's gonna be on the make up test?
Quadratic equations... I think.
Quadratic equations?
They're very easy once you get the hang of it.
He's right, you know!
Quadratic equations are akin to the seeds of love, forbidden fruit sprouting in one's own flower garden.
But what about the apples?
Precisely!
X and Y are the forbidden fruit that bloom in one's own flower garden, resulting in a beautiful solution!
That is the equation that awaits you at the end of this road!
Just cover your ears, Rhythm.
I didn't learn anything from these past two classes.
I know what you mean. They weren't very good at explaining things.
There's nothing for it. I'll stake everything on the science test!
I'll be your science teacher for the week.
I'm Yamada, his assistant.
Penguin-sensei?!
You have a problem with that?
No, it's just—
Very good.
First off, we'll talk about animals.
Open your textbooks, girls.
Yes, sir.
The basic biological branches are as follows: Mammalia, Avialae, Reptilia, Amphibia, Crustacea and Craniata.
Understand?
Yes, sir.
So, which branch are we a part of?
Us?!
U-Um, Mammalia?
Wrong! I'm an Avialae! Don't you even know that much?!
But we're not birds.
And, well, plushies don't fit in the animal kingdom.
What was that?!
N-Nothing, sir!
We penguins live primarily in the southern hemisphere.
Male penguins incubate our eggs while the females hunt for fish.
Understand?
The topic changed to penguins.
Do you incubate eggs too, sir?
Good grief! Have you no tact?!
That's a mystery! So never ask me that again!
But since you asked, I'll reveal a small piece of that mystery to you.
Behold!
I really didn't need to see that.
Fake fur.
Blouse jacket.
Horse riding.
I don't think those words will be on the test, Rhythm.
I can't argue with that.
I just wish they spent time on other stuff too.
The make up tests are tomorrow...
And so is the Prism Show.
Oh, I'm too nervous to concentrate on either of them!
If I don't get at least 70 percent, they won't let me go on the Prism Show. I won't be able to jump like I've always wanted to.
What'll I do? I'm at a loss.
Callings?
Hey, you're worried about something, aren't you?
Okay, let's start with English.
Start with English?
Okay, but why are we at an ice-skating rink?
Well, you're a girl who learns better through practical applications than from reading textbooks, right?
Huh?
Watch me.
I am a Japanese singer and actor, and I am a member of the Japanese idol group, Callings!
Wow! I didn't know you could speak English so well, Wataru-san!
He doesn't look it, but he's really good when it comes to studying.
Yeah, but I don't think I could study just by imitating him.
I told you before.
Don't just imitate me.
Learn by doing.
What do you mean?
Do you see the lines I left on the rink?
Whoa~
Awesome!
That should help you remember things more easily.
I get it!
Go for it, Rhythm-chan!
Just watch me! I'll ace that test tomorrow!
I am Rhythm, a Japanese Prism Star.
My dream is to master the Aurora Rising jump!
How was that?
Nice. You'll master the math formula and biology subgroups in no time!
There's a dance you can devise for each of them.
Understand?
'Course!
Oh, I'm so happy for her!
I'm quite confident that she'll pass the make up tests now!
You may begin.
Papa ni mo! Mama ni mo! Naisho da yo!
I can't even tell my parents!
(Let's go!)
Beauty Dance
Beauty Dance!
Cutie Dance (Rhythm!) shimakucchaou yo! (Prism!)
I love (Rhythm!) Cute Dances! (Prism!)
Prism Star de hajimaru yo! (Yeah-! Prism!)
I wanna be a Prism Star when I grow up! (Yeah-! Prism!)
Prism Star de (Hi! Hi!) Top wo mezasu sou (Hi! Hi!)
Prism Stars are gonna dance on the Prism Top! (Hi! Hi!)
Meramera heart ga atsuku naru (Yeah! Prism!)
My heart's burning with passion! (Yeah! Prism!)
Aira's really come into her own.
She's become much more independent, too.
Prism Dance de (Hi! Hi!) Mirai wo neko kou (Hi! Hi!)
Let’s draw our future in the Prism Dance (Hi! Hi!)
I'm more worried about Rhythm's make up test.
Kirakira heart wa sugu soko ni aru yo (Yeah!)
My glittering heart is right next to you! (Yeah!)
I think she'll get full marks for her math test.
I can't vouch for her performance in the other two subjects, though.
If she gets over 70 percent in all three exams, she'll most likely come here.
Pretty Pretty Rhythm! Pretty Rhythm (Prism!)
Pretty! Pretty Rhythm! Pretty Rhythm (Prism!)
She wouldn't dare show her face here otherwise.
Pu, Pu, Pu, Pretty Pretty Rhythm! Pretty Rhythm (Prism!)
Pr-Pr-Pr-Pretty! Pretty Rhythm! Pretty Rhythm (Prism!)
She wouldn't make it here in time if that was the case.
And we wouldn't see her on stage ever again.
Jin-Jin mitsumeteru!
*stare* *stare* You are staring at me!
Come on, Rhythm-chan! Don't give up!
"Translate the following passage into English."
"I'm always working hard to realize my dream."
Well, you're a girl who learns better through practical applications than from reading textbooks.
I have to remember what I learned through dance.
Um...
"I'm always working hard to realize my dream."
I'm making an effort to realize my dream in the future!
Amamiya-san.
Amamiya-san!
The exam isn't over yet.
Sit down!
I-I'm so sorry!
Love-filled Adventure!
*squeeze*
Finished!
Good work, Aira.
Thank you, sir.
Where's Rhythm-chan?
She's not here yet.
Um, when is she scheduled to go on stage?
You're next.
I guess a result over 70 percent on three exams was too much to ask!
I don't want to do this to her, but we can't wait much longer.
Oh, Rhythm-chan...
She'll be fine.
Wataru-san!
Have faith in her!
Okay.
That's absurd!
We're outta time!
She studied so hard for the test, too!
He's right.
Rhythm-chan studied hard for this!
If she fails, they won't let her perform.
She would never let that happen!
Rhythm! Rhythm! Rhythm!
Let's dance together, Go for it! Go for it!
Aira!
Everyone!
I did it! I scored over 70 percent!
Do you wanna dance with me?
Rhythm-chan!
Thank goodness!
I was breaking out in a cold sweat!
Do your best!
Sora no iro to haru no kaori
If you blend the azure sky and the scent of spring,
That's wonderful news, Rhythm-chan!
Mazete mireba koi no yokan
a portent of love shall remain.
You rule! Your hard work paid off!
W-Well, duh! It was nothing!
Te wo nobaseba todoku kyori ni
If you stretch your arms as far as you can...
Mirai sugu soba ni aru
...you will see your future before your eyes!
Rhythm-chan!
Yuuki dashiki mama no rouge
Be brave, try on your Mama's rouge!
Tsukete mireba mune dokidoki
Isn't it exciting?!
Sukoshi senobi otona mitai
You'll feel taller and more grown-up!
Papa ni naisho dakara nee
Don't tell Papa! Okay?
Ima wa mada hayai to iu kedo…
You might be a little young, but still...
Gaman dekinai saa Let's, Let's Dance!
I can't take it anymore! C'mon! Let's, Let's Dance!
Let's dance!
Mega tanoshii Mecha moriagaro!
It'll be mega-fun and very awesome too!
Stardust Shower!
Muzumuzu rhythm ni norinori no rimakureba
A muzumuzu rhythm to a winding rhythm
Congratulations, Rhythm-chan!
Yanchana ko wa chansu te ni suru
Will give naughty girls a chance!
Your jump was a huge success!
They'll let you perform in many more Prism Shows to come!
Of course they will!
Itsu no hi ka kanau hazu minna no Pretty Rhythm
Everyone will get a chance to show off their Pretty Rhythm!
She's attending our dance classes, and her grades went up to boot!
This will reflect well on our bottom line!
More students will definitely enroll.
Nami no oto to aoi bikini hashiridaseba koi no yuku he
With the sound of the waves and a blue bikini…
Thanks, Wataru.
I enjoyed watching you on stage today.
…run forth towards love!
I hope you'll keep studying hard.
U-Um, I think you're asking for a little too much there...
Oikakereba todoku kyori ni
If you can run fast enough,
She never liked studying to begin with!
Niji to yume soba ni aru
you will find a rainbow beside your dream!
Kyou no namida asu no kibou
Today's tears shall turn into the hope of tomorrow!
Whoa! Nicely done there, Aira!
Thanks. I decided to give Wataru's technique a try.
I beat you!
Wha...!? No way!
You did better than me!?
Ta-da!
Wow!
That's incredible!
Ninety one percent!
Rhythm's a very diligent worker!
Well, when I put my mind to it, I can really get things done.
Take a closer look, Aira.
Wha...!?
Sixteen percent.
If you're feeling bitter, you should study harder next time so you can beat me.
Rhythm-chan...
Mia Reina Karin
I'm so glad that Rhythm-chan was able to continue performing in the Prism Show!
Yeah.
Pop quiz! What are the three basic costume designs?
There's the triangle, the inverted triangle and the net!
Basic Costume Designs Triangle Inverted Triangle Net
Pretty Remake!
I can't wait to see what outfits they'll come up with!
I designed this triangle styled outfit!
Mia's Triangular Design
I chose to go with a feminine A-line one-piece dress.
Reina's Inverted Triangle Design
I used an inverse triangle design!
This over sized T-shirt was released this year and it's in the trend!
I designed a net shaped outfit!
Karin's Net Design
It has a long one-piece dress.
The criss-crossed lines really help draw attention to the outfit!
It's a lot easier to understand when you think about it in terms of shape.
Inverted Triangle Triangle Net
Once you know how to create a well-balanced outfit, you'll be able to create beautiful outfits every time!
Today's Lesson Design a Well-balanced Outfit!
I hope we've leveled up today!

Yeah! We've leveled up!
They've learned how to design a well-balanced outfit!
I hope they'll keep studying hard at school too!
To become the girl you want to be...
