I'm Aira!

And we're MARs!
You're so MARs-ool!
Is This Love!? A Battle for Love in Show Business
Is This Love!? A Battle for Love in Show Business.
That was humiliating!
We did everything our producer wanted, but it didn't go over well with the audience.
This is part of our job.
There's no time to waste!
We've got a photo session and an interview at the studio next!
At the same time, too!
Give me a smile.
Nice.
Very good.
What's your favorite food, Aira-chan?
I love my dad's cakes!
What about you, Rhythm-chan?
Gimme meat any day!
What about you, Mion-chan?
I love macarons, zuccotto, mont blanc and échiré!
Échiré?
I'm talking about éclairs, you know!
Move it!
We've got a music show next!
The highlight of this month is MARs!
They'll be releasing a new CD next month, Hop! Step!! Jump!!!
And the best-selling album this week is...
Ichijo Nana tops the chart with Lucky 7 Star yet again!
That's Nana-Nana.
She feels like a real pro!
You think so?
Nana's new film, Love Inflation, hits theaters this week.
They've been sparing no expense to promote the movie.
That's right.
Sho-kun from Callings is her costar.
That's right.
We worked really hard to make a great film.
I've wanted to meet you for so long!
Me too...
I hear there are lots of exciting scenes.
Yes.
I was really nervous when we were shooting the movie.
Love Inflation.
Sho-kun came to give her his support today.
Here he is!
Thanks for coming!
Sho-kun.
Nice work.
Yo! Long time no see.
Nice outfits.
It's all thanks to Aira.
I love all of your designs, Sho-san.
Would you like to come to my dressing room after the show?
I'd like to talk to you about my designs.
Huh?
Oh, okay.
Man, I'm exhausted!
I'm sick of this!
You did well!
We're finally done for the day!
Great work!
We've got an early start tomorrow.
We need our beauty sleep.
You're a real pro, Mion!
Great news, everyone!
We've got a live show at the Budokan!
Huh?!
You'll get to perform with the top idols in Japan!
That's wonderful!
Well, what'd you expect?
You've gotta tell Sho about this!
Didn't Sho call you to his dressing room?
Huh?
Y-Yeah...
Move it!
I hope he'll be happy for us!
I love you!
I won't settle for anyone but you!
Don't you dare look at anyone but me!
Sorry.
You know how I feel about you, right?
I can't wait to try on your latest designs.
Rhythm-chan! Mion-chan!
I'm heading home.
Aira!
Our dressing room is the one next to this.
Oh, I'm so sorry!
I guess I don't really suit Sho-san.
I need to be a top idol like Nana-san.
Nana's so cute!
Yeah.
I wish I had a girl like her!
I've never felt this way before.
I feel all fuzzy and weird.
I'm home.
Aira!
Can you help me get ready for tomorrow?
Okay.
Aira-oneechama!
It's foaming too much!
Aira-oneechama!
That's too much!
You're such a klutz, Onee-chama!
You're lovesick, aren't you?
Lovesick?!
Is it the guy who can dance, sing, design clothes and is just a smidgen cooler than me?
No, no!
I've just been really busy lately.
I'm a little tired, that's all.
That sounds fishy.
Hiro-kun! Get back to work!
Yes, darling!
You've got an early start tomorrow, Aira-chan.
Go to bed.
Okay.
You can't sleep, even though you're tired?
Oh, I'm fine.
Good night.
Oh, really?
So, who's your type?
I don't know if it's a "type," but I like kind, cool guys who work hard.
He should be a little taller than me, and be an Aquarius with blood type B!
How very detailed!
What about you, Mion-chan?
I'd like an open-minded guy older than me, who's just a bit mysterious.
I'd love it if he gave me advice through poems, like a troubadour!
I'm not quite sure what you mean.
What about you, Aira-chan?
Me? I...
I-I'd like to marry someone who's like my dad.
Airaaaaaaa!!!
Dad! I can't see the TV!
Outta the way, Dad!
Are you Harune Aira?
Y-Yes.
Congratulations on your live show at Budokan.
Thank you very much.
I performed there years ago.
I see.
You seem to be getting along quite well with Sho.
N-No, he's just a coworker I respect.
We'll come by to cheer you on.
You will?
I'd really appreciate it!
Stop acting so familiar around him.
Okay...
Have you seen it?
No way!
For real?
Are they really going out?
I think so!
Yeah.
Sho and Nana are going steady?
Is he in love with her?
I can't believe it!
What's going on?
Sorry I'm late!
What's up?
Nothing!
We didn't see a picture of Nana hugging Sho!
You moron!
I already know.
They make a good couple, don't they?
They're both famous idols, after all.
It's gotta be a misunderstanding.
I'll ask the President!
Rhythm-chan!
What do you think you're doing, Sho?
You're an idol! You can't go around doing things like this!
I'm sorry.
Miss President!
Perfect timing.
You need to know this.
You can pretend to fall in love, but that's all.
Understand?
Sho-san...
Did you think I invited you here for a date?
I put everything I have into my designs, and my job as a member of Callings.
I'm not interested in romance. For that matter, I don't have the time to waste on love.
Is Nana-san special to him?
Don't say anything to the media, Sho.
MARs, get back to your lessions.
Y-Yes, ma'am.
What's your relationship with Sho-san?
Are you going steady?
We're going steady!
Sho-san!
Nana-san says that you're going steady!
Is that true?
Aira!
Kaname-chan!
What're you doing here?
I missed you!
How'd you know I'd be here?
I just had a feeling.
What's wrong?
You seem depressed.
I'm fine.
I like you, Aira.
I don't like it when my friends are sad.
Why are you depressed?
Good question.
I'm sad because Sho-san's sad.
Do you like him?
Well...
I don't know.
You can hear your clothes speaking to you, but you can't hear your own heart.
You're pretty interesting.
One, two, three, four.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Aira.
Two, two, three, four.
Yes?
For you.
These are Sho's latest Prism Stones.
Wow! I never expected so many!
Aira.
Clothes are a mirror that reflect your inner self.
Fear not, and face that reflection.
The string of fate shall create a melody to guide your heart.
You're the conductor.
Take the baton up in your hand!
Okay...
You can't be serious!
If I'm not number one, what's the point?
Cancel my appearance.
I'm leaving!
I've gotta be the best! That's all there is to it.
Come in.
Sho!
You came to see me?
I'd like to show you something.
Welcome to the Prism World!
May I have your Prism Stones?
How do I feel?
When Sho-san's sad, I'm sad too.
But when he's happy...
I'm happy too.
When he's having fun, I'm enjoying myself too.
I want him to be happy!
Do I... like him?
In second place, Ichijo Nana with Lucky 7 Star!
I'm terribly sorry.
Nana-san is getting ready for her next movie, so she couldn't make it today.
And in first place for this week...
A new entry, MARs, with Hop! Step!! Jump!!!
Sho! What are you thinking?
We hope you enjoy MARs' Hop! Step!! Jump!!!
Saa! Korekara hajimaru tsugi no tobira e
Now! From now on, let's begin to go towards the next stage
Hmph.
They don't have any star aura.
Hop! Step!! Jump!!! Takaku kakenukete yukou
Hop! Step!! Jump!!! Let's go higher and farther
Nee! Donna toki demo One! Two! Three!!!
Hey! It doesn't matter when! One! Two!! Three!!!
Aira!
My chest hurts.
My heart aches when I think about him!
Minna de Smile! Smile!! Smile!!!
A Smile! Smile!! Smile!!! with everyone...
Egao wasurezuni iyou
...so the smile will not be forgotten
But why?
He designed these clothes for me.
Nadeshiko no hana kotoba wo mune ni himete
The words of a lady's flower is hiding in my heart
I can feel his warmth.
My clothes understand how I feel!
Daitan ni yuuki ni
With daring and courage
I'm in love!
Sou! Massugu ni ikite yukou
Now! Let's go forward and live!
What's going on?!

If you just admire it, it will end as a dream

Aira makes my clothes shine.

Move on! Calmly move forward
She makes them glow.
You're always shining, Nana.
Akiramenaide jibun shinjite
Don't give up! Believe in yourself!
Even when I'm not there with you.
As long as I'm with Callings, I have no interest in romance.
Hora! Uemuite
Now! Look up!
Mou! Furimukanaide zutto
Goodness! Never look back!
I had fun making the movie with you.
I hope we can work together again sometime.
Hmph!
Oh, no!
I can't stop myself!
Love-filled Adventure!
*squeeze*
You weren't supposed to jump by yourself.
I'll let it slide for today, but you shouldn't go off on your own like that.
Sorry.
No biggie.
Yo!
Sho-san!
Would you like me to walk you home?
Oh, I just remembered!
I've got an errand to run!
Bye!
Me too.
Huh?
Congratulations on your live show.
Thank you very much.
Is it really all right for me to perform on the same stage as Nana-san?
Today, you shined as bright as she did.
Well, that was all thanks to your clothes.
I'm no match for her.
You've been talking about her a lot lately.
Do you think I'm going out with her?
No, I...
You're funny!
Huh?
She made that up.
Look at this.
Are you going out with Johnny Dapp, a huge Hollywood Star!
We're going steady!
What about your relationship with Sho-kun?
My appeal stretches all over the world!
She arranged to have that photo taken.
I see.
Oh, and that kissing scene was all CGI.
Huh?! Really?!
I had no idea.
Were you jealous?
No! Of course not!
I won't go out with anyone while I'm with Callings.
But I'm quite fond of you. You make my clothes shine.
I hope you'll shine brighter, and help me shine as well.
I will!
Isn't that Harune Aira from MARs?
That's Sho!
I'm gonna take a picture.
Hi!
We're coworkers!
The Prism Friends came early to practice their singing.
Reina Karin Mia
Singing Teacher Me-Me
You managed to get the high pitches right.
Good afternoon.
Today, we'll be practicing melodies and rhythm.
We've done a lot of practice, and this will help you discover your own individual talents.
Melodies are about more than the pitch of the notes.
Melody & rhythm practice
Melodies have their own rhythm.
For example, Ta, Taa, Ta.
Or maybe, Taa, Ta, Ta.
They're different tunes.
I see.
When you sing, you need to match the rhythm.
Clap to the melody while you sing
Try clapping along with the rhythm.
If you hear the melody differently, you might not clap at the same time.
Okay.
Try Along at Home!!
Clap to the melody
You didn't expect you would go out of sync, right?
Yeah.
Try it with musical instruments!!
You'll make completely different sounds this time.
Castanets Maracas Bells
Play instruments to the song's rhythm
Right.
Now we'll be able to hear who's out of sync.
Try to match the rhythm.
Okay.
Let's do our best.
Yeah!
The instruments are a little loud, but...
It's easier to tell.
Right.
This will help you match the rhythm.
More challenging training after the Break!
Okay.
Singing Teacher Me-Me
Mia Reina Karin
It's time for more basic rhythm practice.
Okay.
I'll set up the metronome.
Clap along with the melody
Metronome
Let's practice our rhythm
Try clapping in sync.
One, two.
Clap in sync with the song
Try to clap in sync with the song.
One, two, three, four.
We couldn't clap in sync.
Out of sync...
You were all over the place.
This should help you recognize when you're clapping out of sync.
Everyone remembers the melody differently!
I get it.
Try it to a slower tempo!!
Match the length of the notes (pay attention to the rhythm)
Try singing to yourself when there aren't any notes playing.
Point Try matching a slow tempo again!
Okay.
Be harmonious
You need to focus on the rhythm and the melody!
Next time, a challenge to their harmony
