MARs' special report on an Akihabara curry shop !!
Will the stubborn old man be able to make a comeback !?
I'm Mion, and I love to sing and wear sparkling lipstick!
I'm Rhythm, and I love to eat and wear fruit-flavored lipstick!
I'm Aira, and I love falling in love!
A lady's lips must look her best.
Which lipstick is best for you?
You can change your lipstick to suit your mood.
Prism Lipstick!
A set of three is now on sale!
What do you think about your first commercial?
It's hard to believe!
I feel like a real star!
You became famous overnight!
You've all worked very hard!
I'm looking forward to our next job.
You'll be getting offers from Hollywood soon.
They'll want you to star in their latest hit movies!
I've already got your next job lined up.
Really?!
You do?
You will be interviewing the owner of a first-rate restaurant, and making a gourmet report.
Eh?
You'll be on a popular and highly ranked cooking show, Top Foods.
Lucky us! We'll get to sample all kinds of wonderful food as our job!
I hope we'll be able to pull it off.

A Kiss of Honey for a Stubborn Old Man.
We missed you so much!
Welcome home, my lady.
Welcome home, master.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
Are you hungry?
I'm practicing tongue twisters so I don't bite my tongue on the show.
Bouncing frogs...
Hopping rabbits...
Bears can hop too!
My son's son is my grandson!
Send toast to ten tense stout saints' ten tall tents.
Wow!
I couldn't understand it, but that was incredible!
You don't need to practice tongue twisters.
Huh?
You just need to be yourselves.
Be ourselves?
I wonder if I'll do well.
I'm so nervous.
MARs, you're up!
Yes, sir!
Ote Curry
Oh, I just love the smell of curry!
Is he mad at us?
He certainly looks like a stubborn old man.
We'll start with the interview.
You're up, Aira-chan!
Right!
R-Right!
U-Um...
M-Mello!
MARshmallows?
H-Hello.
It's nice to meet you.
We're MARs!
Mediocre? Are you saying my food is mediocre?!
T-That's not what I meant!
Our group's name is MARs, and...
I don't care!
May I see your menu?
No need. I only serve one type of curry.
It'd be more fun if we had several different curries to choose from.
Why don't you go somewhere else then?
You don't have to be so harsh.
Rhythm-chan.
Ask him to smile for us.
Please smile for us!
Why should I smile when I'm not enjoying myself?
Would you like a joke?
Um...
This curry is super curry-ish!
Are you making fun of me?!
I'm about to try the stubborn old man's curry.
Don't let us down, Mion.
How was it, Mion-chan?
It's so spicy!
Indians would be shocked!
Perfect for the Showa period!
Well done!
Hey! Stop rewriting the script!
Sorry about that!
Stop messing around!
What's his problem?
He's so mean!
We can't put on a show like this!
We're in trouble!
What'll we do?
They serve curry there.
Let's grab a bite.
Good idea.
Man, I'm hungry.
You've gotta have curry when you're in Akihabara.
Huh? Where are the maids?
What a letdown.
Let's try another restaurant.
Ow!
What was that for, you old bag?!
Why don't you have any maids? You're in Akihabara, for crying out loud!
Let's go!
Of course, maids!
Since we're in Akihabara, why don't we make a report on the maid costumes here?
Good idea!
That should help make the restaurant more popular!
Great idea, Aira-chan!
It should help the store get more customers!
But where would we get maid costumes?
We'll take care of that.
Callings?!
We're having a photography session at the butler cafe upstairs.
We heard that you're having a photo shoot, so we brought you some maid uniforms.
We had them specially made for you.
These Surprise Stones are very rare.
Wow! It's adorable!
Welcome to the Prism World!
May I have your Prism Stones?
I'll give you a cute outfit. It'll make you a hit among Akihabara patrons.
Don't forget you have to keep a hardworking impression of yourself!
Work hard.
This maid uniform is super cute!
Super-Happy-Lucky!
Welcome home, master!
Come on, Mion. Get changed.
Here's your Stone.
Maid uniforms don't suit me.
Aira and Rhythm are wearing it.
We can't go on without you.
She's right, Mion-chan. Please help us out here!
As a model and as a Prism Star, I don't need a maid uniform.
You're here as a member of MARs.
Stars can shine because of the passion bestowed upon them by Artemis, goddess of the moon.
The energy resonates through their entire being.
You're the perfect model, Mion.
I cannot fault you as a Prism Star.
But that's not e—
I know!
MARs is your pet project.
But I just can't—
Will you leave the group?
Mion-chan!
To be honest, I never wanted to be interviewed in the first place.
I agreed just for the hell of it.
Everyone makes fun of me.
I've been doing this for forty years.
Forty years?!
You've been making a single blend of curry for forty years?
This is Akihabara.
It was once filled with electronics.
Many Indian electrical engineers came.
The town prospered.
I decided to create authentic Indian curry as a tribute to them.
Back then, there were authentic curry restaurants all over the place.
As the town changed, so did the restaurants.
Your curry hasn't changed?
Of course not.
If I can't overcome this on my own, I might as well quit.
Quit?
I made a bet with myself.
If I can't get any customers this month, I'll close down my store.
Why?!
You can just add a few things to your menu and hire some help!
I have no intention to change anything.
As a model and as a Prism Star, I don't need a maid uniform.
But I just can't—
Mion-chan!
Give me the Stone.
Sure.
I know you'll make MARs shine even brighter.
Mion-chan!
It's adorable!
You look good in anything!
Of course I do.
Your curry has coriander, cumin and cayenne peppers.
That was similar to the curry I sampled in India.
I never thought I would get the chance to taste it in Japan.
You recognized that much from a single taste?
I apologize for my rudeness earlier.
Fine. Just go home.
Please, give me another chance!
Leave me alone!
As a member of MARs, I want to learn what it means to be a true professional.
I was dead set against wearing this uniform until recently.
It didn't suit me.
But now, I'm a member of MARs.
So, I decided to wear this uniform.
I thought that I could do anything on my own.
But I was wrong.
I couldn't work well with others.
But Aira and Rhythm changed my mind.
They've changed me for the better.
What's your point?
You can change, too!
You decided to go on TV, after all.
The town and its people will keep changing.
If you really love this town, you should look for what you like about it!
You don't know anything about me!
Listen, girl.
My hands have worked through tough times, and sad times.
I've kept making my one blend of curry.
I can't change.
If I changed, I might as well quit!
Please wait until after you watched our show before you make up your mind.

Is it really that good?
Whoa!
He's being interviewed by super cute maids!
Aren't they from MARs?
They're adorable!
Hey! Stop pushing me, dammit!
I'm getting hungry for curry!
Me too.
Me three!
Hey! Where's the menu?
You only have one type of curry?
That's right.
We have one type of curry for those who prefer authentic curries.
If you don't like spicy food, we have Kiss-of-Honey curry, mixed with all kinds of sweets!
Indians would be surprised by how delicious they are!
I'll have an extra large Kiss-of-Honey curry!
Give us three Kiss-of-Honey curries!
I'll take a regular curry!
Calm down, everyone.
Here you go.
I-I'll be right there!
Thanks for waiting! Here's your authentic curry!
Thanks for waiting. Here's your Kiss-of-Honey curry!
It's delicious!
It's spicy, but delicious!
Very nice!
It's a hit.
Please line up here.
That's the way.
I haven't sold out like that for decades.
I thought I was getting too old for this.
I forgot who I was making the curry for.
You sold so much delicious curry!
I'm happy for you.
This new Akihabara isn't too bad.
Huh?
I'll keep at it a while longer.
Hooray!
Young lady...
Yes, sir?
I thank you!
No, thank you, sir.
Even Indians would be surprised.
What the hell are you doing?!
You didn't record that scene?!
You moron!
Sorry to bother you, girls.
Could we redo that scene from the start?
C'mon, please?
Please, help us out, sir!
You dumbass!
Like I can redo that!
I'm sorry, sir. Let's try to put something together!
Shut your hole!
Get out!
Pretty please!
Last week, the Prism Friends sang for Me-Me-sensei, their vocal instructor.
Singing Teacher Me-Me
But...
You can't debut like this.
Will they have to start from square one?
C'mon, Prism Friends! Don't give up!
I'm really nervous about this.
We'll be fine. She said that we've got lots of time to improve.
Yeah.
Mia Reina Karin
We'll be able to debut as long as we practice hard.
I'm not so sure.
C'mon. Let's go.
Me-Me-sensei's here!
Hello.
Hello!
There are three things to keep in mind if you want to sing well.
First, rhythm.
Rhythm
You must feel the rhythm of the song.
Second, pitch.
Pitch (Vocal Range)
Is the music high or low?
It's very important to keep this in mind.
We understand.
You support the rhythm and the pitch with your vocalization.
Vocalization
It's important to breathe evenly.
Have you heard of abdominal breathing?
Yes.
For Better Singing ①Rhythm ②Pitch ③Vocalization
It's important to practice them all together.
I'll play several songs with different rhythms for you.
Feel the Rhythm!
Feel the rhythm with your whole body, and count and clap in time.
Clap
Okay.
Rhythm 1 (8-beat)
Try clapping in time to this rhythm.
Okay.
Very good.
Rhythm 2 (16-beat)
That's the way.
Clap harder on beat one.
One, two, three, four.
Now, jump on the fourth beat.
Jump
One, two, ready...
Look at your partners.
Your jumping is all over the place.
They won't be able to sing well until they get this under their belts!
We'll have a difficult lesson after the break!
More coming up after the break!
Singing Teacher Me-Me
Mia Reina Karin
Okay.
Mastering the rhythm is very important for singing well.
Most tunes consist of a 4-beat rhythm, but there are 3-beat rhythms as well.
Lesson Clap and step to the rhythm
Become skillful at singing
Listen closely and clap in time.
Okay.
Understand body rhythm!
Rhythm 1 (Disco)
This rhythm is common in disco music!
One, two, three, four.
Rhythm 2 (Bossa nova)
Try this one.
This is a bossa nova music rhythm!
They'll need to step horizontally.
Rhythm 3 (Waltz)
How about this one?
Finally, we have a 3-beat waltz!
One, two, three!
Well done.
There are so many different rhythms.
Yeah.
A 4-beat rhythm is also known as a downbeat.
Downbeat
The space between the beats are known as upbeats.
Upbeat
Clap on the upbeat!
That's the way.
One and two and three and four.
Change the Rhythm
Very good.
One, two, three, four.
What will they Learn Next Week?
One, two, three, four.
Tune in for next week's lesson!
