PRAD Episode 35
Translated by Moho Kareshi
Okay.
So hot ! MARs Live at Budokan ! !
The heat reaches it's peak, but something ...
MARs' Dream Live!
Look at her solid moves!
That's my Mion!
Here I go!
Jump, Aira!
Fresh Fruits Baske—
Oh, no!
You okay?
Aw, man!
I'll try that again!
We'll be performing at the Budokan soon.
We don't have much time left for practice.
The Budokan, eh?
How's your practice going?
Jun-san!
We're working hard every day.
Don't be lazy! It's taken a lot out of me.
You can't perform at the Budokan with that attitude!
All idols dream of performing on that stage!
That's the Budokan for you!
A stage that idols dream of performing on...
Your break is over!
We're doing singing practice next!
Followed by formation practice!
After that, we'll be picking outfits for our live show!
There's more to being an idol than wearing pretty clothes and singing with smiles on our faces.
Idols embody all aspects of art.
Dancing, singing potential and fashion sense.
And finally, they must win the hearts of the audience with their smiles.
Smiles!
Nice smile.
How can we smile when we can barely stand?
That's what it means to be a pro.
Let's start our singing lesson, Rabbie.
Gotcha!
Let's start with vocalization!
Aira looks really motivated today.
Wrong! You're singing off-key!
Let me get that for you.
Sho-san.
Are you finished for today?
I'll walk you home.
You're having fun.
You think so?
Yeah.
I've heard that you've been working hard lately.
Aren't you tired?
Just a little.
But I'm having a great time!
I feel like I'll be able to do things I couldn't do before!
I was ecstatic when I first performed at the Budokan.
It was like a dream come true.
It was so surreal, standing upon that stage.
So surreal...
I suppose so.
Thanks for carrying this for me.
Take care.
T-Thanks.
You look lovely, Aira.
Keep up the good work.
O-Okay.
Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
You shouldn't bump into people like that!
Kaname-chan!
Aira!
I missed you so much!
Me too, but...
What's wrong?
You know her?
She ran into me, and she didn't even apologize!
He was about to step on that lovely flower.
Huh?!
I see your point.
I'd feel sorry for the flower, too.
Still, you shouldn't bump into people like that.
Sorry.
But there are people who don't even notice it when flowers bloom.
They step on them without thinking.
I feel sorry for people like that.
Huh?
Maybe that's why we sing.
Some people are so busy that they don't even have time to smile.
I wish they would smile more often.
Smile?
I'm going to perform on a huge stage soon.
A huge stage?
We've been doing a lot of training.
It's hard work.
It takes me a long time to remember all the steps.
You've been training?
I need to smile, even if I have to force myself.
I love you, Aira!
Huh?!
You're a flower, Aira.
A flower?
You're a strong flower.
You shine when you bloom.
Oh, you're too kind!
I wish I could see your show.
Take this.
They'll let you in.
They're tickets for your show?!
Awesome!
I can't wait!
Thanks a bunch, Aira!
I'll throw this away.
See ya!
Don't forget not to bump into people!
I won't!
She's such a mysterious girl.
Still, she's such a good girl!
Hold it!
You messed up again, Aira!
What's the problem?!
Sorry!
You're being too hard on her, Rabbie!
You must be exhausted.
Let's take a break.
I'm sorry, everyone.
I'll get it right before the show!
Aira...
Heya!
S-Serenon?!
I never thought you'd be training as idols more than you would for the Prism Show.
Huh?
You're performing at the Budokan, aren't you?
Congratulations.
Will you be participating in the Crystal High Heel Cup?
Of course we will!
You can't do both.
Don't get cocky.
What about your manzai comedy?
We'll focus on the Prism Show before the contest.
You can't take it easy, either in showbiz or the Prism Show.
As people say "he who runs after two hares will catch neither."
Don't you know?
Why can't we train as idols and for the Prism Show at the same time?
We'll make our show a huge success.
And we'll win the Crystal High Heel Cup!
Huh?!
You wish!
Why don't you show us what you can do?
Can you do a good live show and win the tournament?
Hold on.
What?
Only groups of three are allowed to participate in the Crystal High Heel Cup.
We know that.
We'll enter as a group of three.
Who's your third member?
Serena-chan.
Your face gives it all away.
I know that!
I'm looking forward to the tournament.
We can win the Crystal High Heel Cup with just the two of us!
We'll go easy on you for today.
I never thought you'd talk back to them like that!
I surprised myself!
I just naturally spoke what came to my mind.
I know we can make our live show a huge success!
We've done many live shows before now.
We'll show them everything we've learned at this show.
We'll show them how far we've come as a trio.
Of course.
I'm really fired up about this!
Aira!
Let's try that dance again!
Good idea.
There's a trick to that dance.
Listen closely to the rhythm.
Rhythm-chan...
Mion-chan...
Friendship is beautiful!
I wanna help them pull off the best show ever!
One, two, three, four.
Yes. Keep it up.
One, two, three, four.
One, two...
Mion!
Aira!
Rhythm!
MARs' Music!
Ready... Sparking!
Let's give it everything we've got!
They've come a long way.
Chicks will one day spread their wings and soar through the sky.
As their mother hen, how do you feel about it?
They're still at the starting line.
Wow!
I've never been here before!
Aira!
We can do this.
I'm not alone!
Good afternoon!
We're MARs!
MARs!
There are so many people here.
They're all smiling for us!
I'm full of energy!
Stardust Shower!
Perfect!
I'm having so much fun!
MARs taught me that there are some things I can't do alone.
Mion—switch on!
Honey Kiss!
I never even dreamed of being an idol.
I hesitated every day, but I know that our future lies on this stage!
That's what I believe!
Fresh Fruits Basket!
We've got a new song for you.
It's called My Heart's on Fire!
Pu, Pu, Pu, Pretty! Pretty Rhythm! (Prism!)
Pr-Pr-Pr-Pretty! Pretty Rhythm! (Prism!)
Pu, Pu, Pu, Pretty! Pretty Rhythm! (Prism!)
Pr-Pr-Pr-Pretty! Pretty Rhythm! (Prism!)
Prism!!
Dokidoki tokimeichau
Oh, my heart's pounding!
Kono kimochi tte nan nano?
What is this feeling I have?
Koi nano? Ai na no? Wakaranai?!
Is it puppy love? Or something more? I wish I knew!
We don't just butt heads all the time.
(Hi!)
Girls' life ni wa himitsu ga ippai de
(Hi!)
A girl lives a life full of secrets
Perhaps we could help them rise to new heights.
Papa ni mo! Mama ni mo! Naisho da yo!
I can't even tell my parents!
Sonata...
Aira! Rhythm! Mion!
(Let's go!)
Why are you cheering for them?
Beauty Dance
Let's pull off...
Cutie Dance (Rhythm!) shimakucchaou yo! (Prism!)
...Beauty Dances and Cute Dances!
Uh-oh!
Aira's so cool!
Prism Star de hajimaru yo! (Yeah-! Prism!)
I wanna be a Prism Star when I grow up! (Yeah-! Prism!)
This will be our last song for today.
We hope you'll enjoy it!
It's called Hop! Step!! Jump!!!
Is this part of the show?
No.
There's no music.
Hey. What's going on?
What's wrong?
The equipment's malfunctioning.
I can't get the lights or sound to work.
What the—
Fix it, now!
Miss President.
MARs!
It's beautiful!
It's so surreal...
Everyone's shining for us.
Like a resplendent flower in full bloom.
Thank you!
We hope you'll enjoy our song!
I'm so happy to be here today!
Aira...
I'm not a good singer, and I can't dance to save my life.
I didn't want to become an idol at first.
I was worried that I couldn't be a Prism Star and an idol at the same time.
I'm worried about the Crystal High Heel Cup and the current live show.
But when I see everyone smiling like this, my worries just float away!
I know that we...
that MARs...
are still living our dream.
So I know we'll make both of these dreams come true!
We hope you'll continue to support us!
What's taking so long?
Get it up and running!
Well, um...
Let me do it!
What if you break it?! This is expensive equipment!
I don't care about the money!
Those girls put their hearts and souls into this!
Yes! It's fixed!
Knock 'em dead, MARs!
Saa! Korekara hajimaru tsugi no tobira e
Now! From now on, let's begin to go towards the next stage
Hop! Step!! Jump!!! Takaku kakenukete yukou
Hop! Step!! Jump!!! Let's go higher and farther

A Smile! Smile!! Smile!!! with everyone...
Egao wasurezuni iyou

Do-Re-Mi-Fa Slider!
Nadeshiko no hana kotoba wo mune ni himete
The words of a lady's flower is hiding in my heart
Daitan ni yuuki ni
With daring and courage
Sou! Massugu ni ikite yukou
Now! Let's go forward and live!

Nothing means more to us than pulling off a great show!
We couldn't have done it without your support!
MARs rules!
We're happy to be idols!
Did you enjoy yourself?
Yeah.
Aira's so much fun!
Their dances were awesome.
It was kinda like this.
One, two, three, four.
I did it!
Their singing lessons are getting harder and harder!
They'll have to work hard if they want to debut!
