I lost the Tiara Cup.
Cheer up.
I'm doing fine! Right, Andy?
Why are you talking to a plushie?! I'm right here!
Mom made him for me.
I don't remember anything about her, but somehow I feel much calmer when I hold him.
Does he smell like your mom?
I wonder if Andy'll talk to me one day.
Maybe he'll tell me about my mom...
Teddie.
Huh? Who's there?
It's me.
Huh? Andy?
Andy's Tears
Andy's Tears.
Where are we?
This is where I was born.
All done!
I'm home.
Welcome back.
I bought us some cake.
That's Rhythm's dad!
And he's so young!
They just got married.
Look!
Wow! You've finished it.
It's adorable.
The moment of the showdown between rivals connected by the strings of fate is finally here.
Today we decide, once and for all, who will be the one and only Prism Queen!
Will it be Kanzaki Sonata or Asechi Kyoko?
I never knew that Rhythm's mom and Asechi were rivals!
Who's with Rhythm's mom?
That's Aira's mom.
Today's her last day as a stylist.
Are you really going to quit?
I'll be working as a baker, and a mom, from now on.
Thank you. I couldn't have come this far without you.
I wish you eternal happiness.
And I, you.
The Prism will always shine within you.
Sonata shined while dancing on the rink.
Her final jump!
Asechi Kyoko shined as bright as her.
But at the end...
She performed a daring jump which had never been seen before.
The judges have tallied their scores.
Kanzaki Sonata has earned 4904 carats!
Asechi Kyoko has earned 5084 carats!
Asechi Kyoko is the Grand Champion!
Asechi Kyoko is our Prism Queen!
Aren't you going to congratulate me?
Congratulations.
I must say, I expected more from you.
If we grow complacent, even for an instant, it's all over.
I'll be waiting for you at the next tournament.
From that day forth, Sonata could think of nothing except surpassing Kyoko.
Why was she so set on winning?
Did they have a falling out?
They competed to improve themselves.
They acknowledged no one else as rivals.
They had no hard feelings for each other.
Their hearts were pure and innocent.
What happened?
Sonata had a baby!
What's her name?
Rhythm.
Rhythm!
You kept your marriage a secret, and you had a child?!
Can you imagine what would happen if the media got wind of this?
You can't let this get out!
You'll have to find a new place to live, without delay!
We moved all over the place.
But as long as Rhythm was there, we were all happy.
At least, until that day...
Rhythm's dancing!
You want to compete in Prism Shows again?
I can't give up. Not until I beat Kyoko.
What about our daughter, Rhythm?
I'm against it!
Ryuutaro!
She couldn't forget about the Prism Show.
Come on. It's time for dinner.
We've heard reports that your rival, Kanzaki Sonata, has retired.
She would never retire.
She'll be back on the rink before long.
A little bird told me that you're training hard to perform the legendary jump.
Indeed.
It was conceived by a female coach named Kei.
It's a jump that no one has successfully performed before, correct?
Yes. The Aurora Rising.
The Aurora Rising...
Where are we now?
This is Coach Kei's house.
Kanzaki Sonata, I presume?
How may I help you?
Please teach me how to master the Aurora Rising.
To master the Aurora Rising, one must love the Prism Show, and be engaged as a bride to the rink itself.
As a bride...
There is much you must sacrifice.
Are you prepared to give up your former life?
Sonata accepted Kei's terms.
Her brutal days of training began.
Forget the half-hearted lessons you've learned!
Faster!
Again!
How cruel!
Please, Sonata! You can't keep doing this!
No! I'm going to master the Aurora Rising!
It's the only way to beat Kyoko!
Is it more important for you to be the Prism Queen than to be Rhythm's mother?
Mommy! Mommy!
Sonata!
Poor Rhythm!
Sonata couldn't think of anything except mastering the Aurora Rising.
Faster!
Even faster!
I can't watch!
She trained like this for a whole year.
Her showdown with Asechi Kyoko finally came.
Kanzaki Sonata has made an incredible comeback!
The finals between her and Asechi Kyoko are about to begin.
As you know, both contestants have declared their intention to perform the Aurora Rising.
The whole world is watching! No one has managed to pull this off before!
Who will be the grand champion?
I can't do it!
She couldn't do it!
Asechi Kyoko failed to perform the Aurora Rising!
Aurora Rising!
She's done it!
She's mastered the Aurora Rising!
The crowd goes wild!
This Prism Show will forever remain in the history books!
Kanzaki Sonata is the new Prism Queen!
Kyoko...
Congratulations, Sonata.
You got me.
That was a perfect jump.
No...
There was something missing.
Sonata?!
Sonata slept for two whole weeks.
When she awoke, her soul was dead.
How are you feeling, Sonata?
What's wrong, Rhythm?
What happened to her mom?
Sonata made many sacrifices to master the Aurora Rising.
The largest sacrifice was that of her family.
She couldn't forgive herself for abandoning her daughter.
Please, stop blaming yourself.
The three of us can start over.
You were crying...
You can't leave her like this!
Don't leave her!
Look after Rhythm for me, Teddie.
Andy!
Whatcha doing?
Oh, nothing!
You looked like Andy's son!
You've got a resemblance going there.
Rhythm!
Um...
Hey, Rhythm!
It's time for dinner!
We're having barbecue tonight!
YES!
I'm gonna train extra hard tomorrow!
I have to build up my stamina!
Gotta have some meat!
I'm gonna eat tons of barbecued meat tonight!
She'll be just fine!
Rhythm won't give up!
Prism Navigator Akkina
Hi! I'm Prism Navigator Akkina!
Today, the Prism Friends will take their final fashion exam!
How much of their training have they retained?
Prism Friends' Final Fashion Exam!!
The theme of today's test is "Design a Costume that Suits Your True Self."
Reina-chan wants a cool outfit.
Reina Cool!!
Mia Grown-Up!
Mia-chan wants to look grown-up.
Karin-chan wants to look energetic.
Karin Energetic!!
They're looking for items to complement their outfit.
I can't wait to see what they've come up with!
They've been practicing very hard, so I'm sure they've come up with something impressive.
I'm looking forward to it.
Let's see how our Prism Friends are doing!
They're probably thinking about how to express themselves with their clothes.
Their final fashion exam starts now!
It's been a long road, but their final exam's finally begun!
If they pass this, they'll be Gold trainees!
I hope they'll be all right!
I'm worried! Let's keep an eye on them!
I've gotta make a cool outfit.
Reina
What should I wear?
The Test Is Finally Here! Reina Searches for Clothes
This was shot back in May 2011
This is nice.
Hmm... Maybe this would be cooler.
What should I do?
Reina's a hard worker, so she worries about every step!
I hope she remembers what she did last time.
I gave myself a cool look with a pink pendant.
Think about your character!
Oh, yeah!
When I thought about what character I should be, everyone praised me!
Today, I'll use pink as the main color.
There, that should do it.
Nicely done, Reina-chan!
Good. I feel much better now.
Oh, no!
You mustn't get complacent like that!
Just kidding!
The hair accessories are important, too.
Precisely!
Don't Forget the Hair!
I changed the bunny ears to a more grown-up ribbon style.
Yeah. I'll take this hat.
That's the way! Nice going, Reina-chan!
Let's see how Mia-chan's doing!
Prism Stone Shop
The Test Is Finally Here! Mia Searches for Clothes
Wow! They're all so cute.
Mia
This would be awesome too!
Hey! You've got too many clothes there!
She's taking things at her own pace!
All of these caught my eye.
I'll make the best outfit ever from the clothes here!
Uh-oh. I think I picked too many dresses!
I hope she'll be all right.
Let's keep an eye on her.
Let's see...
So far, we've learned how to...
Consider the Shape of the Outfit!
I designed this triangle styled outfit!
I chose to go with a feminine A-line one-piece dress.
Of course! The shape of the outfit is important, too.
Yeah. I'll wear these.
There was something else though...
I went for a preppie style.
Change Don't Forget the Shoes!
The Test Is Finally Here! Mia Searches for Clothes
Of course! I've gotta find shoes that go with this outfit.
I wonder how it's going to turn out!
Let's take a look at Karin-chan!
Karin
It's important to consider TPO when designing your outfit!
Consider TPO!
The Test Is Finally Here! Karin Searches for Clothes
I like wearing this for dance contests.
I want something that reflects my true character, so...
This would be perfect!
It looks like she's made up her mind!
Karin's the youngest, but she's a real hard worker!
Oh, I'll need more than this!
What else...
Cool Poses
I wanted to look more energetic!
Of course!
I'll use creative poses to complement my outfit!
I'd better get some practice done before the test!
Karin-chan's gonna practice her poses!
It's about time for them to get back to the studio!
Reina! Karin!
Mia! Karin!
Did you find what you wanted?
It wasn't easy, but we kept at it.
I'm a little worried, too, but I didn't give up.
I picked the best dresses ever!
Me too! I worked really hard!
I could take on the world!
I'm gonna beat you, Reina!
Calm down!
Let's just do our best!
Let's do this one at a time.
Final Fashion Exam Start!
Give us some music!
The Test Is Finally Here! Fashion Show
Cool!!
I wanted to be cool.
Adult!!
I wanted to look like an adult.
Energetic!!
I wanted to be energetic.
Yeah!
It's all over!
I was so nervous!
We did great!
I'm jealous. You did so well, Reina!
You both did great.
Memory Pass
It's time for the moment of truth.
Yeah.
I pray that we'll be Gold trainees now!
Please!
Aim to be a Prism Queen!!
LEVEL UP!!
Congratulations! You're Gold Trainees
We did it!
Whoa! Good for them!
They all passed their final exam!
This is still just a small step!
Yeah. They've got lots of practice ahead of them!
Stay tuned!
Well done!
You saw us?
Akkina-san.
Yep. I saw the whole thing.
You seemed a little confused at first, Reina-chan.
Still, your balance was exemplary.
Thank you so much.
You picked out so many clothes, Mia-chan.
I was a little worried about you.
However, you looked very mature.
Thank you very much.
You put everything you had into your hair and your poses, Karin-chan.
That was perfect!
Really?
Yes!
Yay!
There is still much more you need to learn and practice before you can make your debut.
You'll need something new, and new dances to be Platinum Trainees.
Next Time Dance with Something New!
New dances?
I'll explain the details next week. I hope you'll enjoy it.
Okay.
To become the girl you want to be...
...you'll need a Prism Jump...
...and Pretty Rhythm...
...Aurora Dream!
See you next week!
