MARs' Exciting Debut!
MARs?!
It's about time.
I can't believe it! We're making a showbiz debut?
You weren't kidding in the planetarium?
You need to take things more seriously, Mion.
Your first performance will be tomorrow.
Whoa! We're gonna be guests on Go! Go!! Callings?!
Go! Go!! Callings!
I watch it every week.
Every girl in our class watches it.
It gets over ten million viewers in Japan each week.
Over ten million viewers...
It'll be your showbiz debut.
Show Japan what you can do!
Y-Yes, ma'am.
Delicate fawns must be guided gently toward the future.
That's right!
It's my duty to look after them. They'll be all right!
Over ten million viewers...
Huh?
A new girls group, MARs, will debut on tomorrow's episode of Go! Go!! Callings.
You've gotta see it!
Aira-oneechama's awesome!
Is she a professional?
I'm home.
That's...
Why did you keep this from me?!
I-I-I'm so sorry!
I'll miss the show!
Huh?
When's the show?
Are you going to watch her, Hiro-kun?!
Yeah.
Tape the show, darling.
Call our relatives.
Are you going to sign autographs, Aira?
Have you practiced for it?
Don't forget to trim your nails.
Don't forget to brush your teeth.
You'll need to bring bananas and water bottles.
I won't let him leave the house tomorrow.
Jeez!
I can't decide what to wear for the TV show!
You really worry about clothes.
I can't make up my mind!
I'm gonna be late!
See you later!
They're late!
Sorry I'm late!
She stayed up all night deciding what to wear.
Sorry I'm late!
Are you okay, Rhythm-chan?
Huh?
Do I look weird?
I spent all night deciding what to wear.
Me too.
It's not easy.
They've got our costumes in the dressing room.
Sho has prepared everything for us, including our matching outfits.
Sho-sama!
Callings!
Knock 'em dead, Rhythm.
Y-Yeah!
She's still nervous.
Sho-san's incredible.
What a presence compared to mine...
They're truly stars.
It's almost time for the show.
Oh?
Where's Hiro-kun?
He disappeared a while ago.
Huh?
Aira!
It's almost time!
What in the name of—
I think they wanted our group to have a sweet image.
You've got it all wrong!
You look adorable!
Where's your costume, Aira?
This was the only costume I found.
There should be a Stone on the desk.
Huh?
Is this it?
There are wings on the Stone!
There's a whole costume in here!
Get changed, now!
Yes, ma'am!
Damn, I messed up.
We're going live!
I'm terribly sorry to have kept you waiting!
That's all right. We just got ready ourselves for the live telecast.
Over here.
The host will introduce you.
We'll keep a camera on all three of you.
And you, Mion-chan—
Calm down.
Take care of things on your end.
Just take it easy today.
Think of it as a game and feel like a seasoned interviewee.
Just look straight at the camera and smile naturally. That's what I'm looking for.
Sure!
Thank you so much, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Five seconds to air!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
Go! Go!! Callings.
Our guests today are the three members of MARs, a new idol group.
Are you all right?
Don't worry.
Talk de Go! Go!!
Please, introduce yourselves.
Where does your group name come from?
We took the initials of our names.
The M stands for Mion!
T-The A is for Aira.
I get thirsty when I'm nervous!
Huh?
What?
How did you feel when you learned that you would be in a new idol group, Aira-chan?
U-Um, President Asechi brought it up out of the blue, so...
Shhh!
We want to show the world more about the Prism Show and our charm!
That's our Mion!
You're the best, Mion!
That's not true.
Rhythm's not too bad herself.
What's with those puppets?
They're adorable!
Yeah!
Let me go!
H-Hey...
Behave yourself.
Mion?!
I-I'm scared!
I'm sorry, Mion!
Is she a ventriloquist?
I can see her mouth moving.
Mion, where does the name MARs come from?
Well, the M is for Mion.
The A is for Aira.
The R is for Rhythm.
Together, that spells MARs!
I-I get it!
Thanks!
You're so smart, Mion!
That's all, folks!
Huh?
Behave yourselves, okay?
Y-Yes, ma'am!
Here's this week's surprise!
Huh?
She's so cute!
Noooo! Don't look!
Aira!
Huh?
Dad?!
Oh, my!
My daughter's super adorable!
Hey! You're blocking the camera!
Hey! Let me go.
This is horrible.
Daddy-chama!
Let me photograph my adorable daughter!
Daddy's here for you, Aira!
Forgive me, Aira-chan.
I couldn't keep an eye on him.
She came to our bakery for a job interview.
H-He's got it all wrong.
Hey!
You're ruining our live broadcast!
I wanna go home.
We'll be right back after the commercials.
Run Way de Go Go!
MARs will be competing against Callings!
But first, we have special guests for the Callings team.
Huh?
Step right up!
Good afternoon.
Serena! Kanon!
Who won the Summer Queen Cup again?
We're honored to be on your show.
Hello, runners-up that lost to us.
What are they doing here?!
We'll be competing against MARs today.
Oh, no!
I don't like high places.
What the hell are you doing?!
I'm scared of heights.
Ready, go!
Whoever crosses the plank first wins!
The winning team will get to sing on live TV.
We're gonna win and make this our Prism Show!
MARs! Don't you dare lose!
Sing for us!
We're on air.
No sweat.
We're this summer's Prism Queens!
Don't underestimate Takamine Mion!
You're up.
Yeah!
Go for it, Rhythm.
Go.
Come on.
See ya.
Pretty cool, Rhythm!
If only you were a boy.
Right, Hibiki-han?
I don't think she's happy to hear that.
Keep your mind on the game!
Nearly there.
Your turn.
Your turn, Aira.
Right.
Aira-chan!
It's hopeless!
She really has bad reflexes.
Hang in there, Aira!
It's impossible!
Hey! Stop bullying her!
Dad?!
It's just a game!
Dad! Cut it out!
Aira!
No way!
Stop!
MARs won! What a comeback!
Huh?
We won!
Well done, Aira!
No sweat.
Whoa!
What's going on?
Please, wait a moment.
Wow!
Awesome!
I need to find a new job.
I'm so sorry.
I get carried away when it comes to my daughter.
It's time for the song!
MARs! Get to the rink!
