Translated by Moho Kareshi
The Crystal High Heel Cup starts ! !
Serenon + Kaname Trio power on the stage ! !
What's wrong?
Can't sleep?
No...
Chris Kaname is the third member of our team for the Crystal High Heel Cup.
She's your rival!
Aira!
It's almost lunchtime.
Sorry, I wish I could come cheer for you today.
But Christmas is really busy—
She left already?
Fresh Fruits Baske—
Fresh Fruits—
The tournament's today!
Stop being reckless!
Aira!
That's enough!
You won't be able to compete if you continue being reckless like this!
I can't do any Prism Jumps...
The Fierce Crystal High Heel Cup Battle!
The time is finally upon us!
The renowned national Pure Crystal High Heel Cup finally opens!
Contestants will be judged on their costumes, dancing and jumps.
Perfection will result in 10,000 carats.
There are no preliminary rounds here.
Don't come crying to me if you mess up!
Batopons are allowed to be used in this tournament.
Whether to use them or not is for them to decide!
Today, we'll find out who the best trio in Japan is amongst the wonderful participating groups!
The winners will receive a rare Stone, the Crystal High Heels!
So, without further ado, let's go!
Aira's late.
What's wrong?
It'll be your turn soon.
Yes, ma'am.
Hurry up and get changed.
Get warmed up.
Yes, ma'am.
Where's Aira?
Well...
Aira!
We were worried sick about you!
Are you okay?
Umm... Rhythm-chan...
Mion-chan...
I'm sorry about yesterday.
I can't believe that Kaname-chan would be one of our rivals for the High Heel Cup.
Forget about it.
It's water under the bridge.
We know you didn't do that on purpose.
I...
Let's!
Go!
Smile!
Pathetic!
They're no match for us.
Eh!
That couldn't be...
What's wrong?
The CEO has arrived.
Thank you.
Huh?
Who's that?
Oh, no! Has everyone arrived?
I am the CEO of the Jounouchi Corporation, Jounouchi Steven!
I hope you'll remember me.
Oh, no!
Serena-chan, your dad's here.
What a ridiculous outfit!
This is a contest, not a conference!
You don't know what we do?
Feast your eyes on this!
The Jounouchi Corporation sells all kinds of products!
Satellites.
Castles.
Takoyaki.
Prism Costumes.
Smile!
The Jounouchi Corporation brings products from Osaka to the world!
Thank you for your continued support!
He's turned the contest into a publicity stunt for his company.
Your father's as exuberant as ever.
Exuberant?
What's that mean?
He's good-looking, slim and energetic.
Oh, you're too kind!
My dad's a tub of lard!
What's that mean again?
Oh, forget it!
Thanks for coming to see our act!
You can't do a Prism Jump?!
This doesn't make any sense.
You're up soon.
I'm so sorry.
What happened?
Well...
One of her friends is part of the Serenon Trio.
Chris Kaname?
Yes.
She copied our dance and Prism Jump perfectly.
She saw the costume that Aira was going to wear today.
I never thought that this would happen.
The Prism Jump is a jump from the heart.
The emotional damage Aira sustained has plucked the wings from her heart.
Don't worry about that.
Look!
I'm sure you'll feel all Happy-Lucky again when you put your costume on!
You'll be able to do a Prism Jump again!
Sho went to such trouble designing our costumes...
I'm so sorry!
Aira...
Don't make such a gloomy face.
Think about how far we've come.
This was the first costume you wore as a member of MARs.
You were both so nervous during our first TV appearance.
This is the maid uniform we wore when we interviewed the owner of that curry restaurant.
Mion hated the idea of wearing a maid uniform.
Flare-chan designed this costume for us.
It cheered you up when you were feeling down.
We wore this...
when we topped the charts for the first time.
You got carried away while we were singing, and yelled "I'm in love!"
I was kinda jealous.
You outshone me.
Huh?
It's a huge compliment.
You should be grateful.
Mion-chan...
Our performance at the Budokan was a huge success, too!
You should have more faith in yourself!
Rhythm-chan...
Stand up, Aira.
Give me your hand.
O-Okay.
You too, Rhythm.
Let's join hands.
Okay.
I've always wondered why we're a trio.
I finally understand.
If I trip on my right leg, you're there for me, Rhythm.
If I trip on my left leg, you're there for me, Aira.
When one of us falls, we have friends ready to catch us.
MARs isn't a triangle.
We're a perfectly circled ring.
When we become a ring, we can perform as one.
That's our power as a trio.
That's the meaning of MARs.
Yeah!
Girls...
Isn't that right, President?
Huh?
That's why you formed MARs, isn't it?
Huh?
W-Well...
Yes, of course!
We'll use a new jump for the High Heel Cup.
Huh?
Hey! You shouldn't be so reckless!
We're in it to win.
We're like the phoenix.
No matter how many times we fall, we'll always get back up.
Yeah!
We'll make this the best jump ever!
Okay, Mion!
I'll give it a try!
Here we go!
Ready, sparkling!
Our next trio will be Takamine Mion, Harune Aira and Amamiya Rhythm!
These are our original outfits.
That's more like it!
Yeah.
Here we go!
Please look after Andy for me, President!
Okay.
What's up with them?
That's what they always wear.
We can't lose.
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
Nee! Donna toki demo One! Two! Three!!!
Hey! It doesn't matter when! One! Two!! Three!!!
Jun.
Yes, Miss President?
If I had a rival besides Sonata, could we have worked together, just like those girls?
Minna de Smile! Smile!! Smile!!!
A Smile! Smile!! Smile!!! with everyone...
Egao wasurezuni iyou
...so the smile will not be forgotten
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!
Yeah!
Akogare dakejya yume de owaru yo
If you just admire it, it will end as a dream
Move on! Aserazu susumou
Move on! Calmly move forward
Akiramenaide jibun shinjite
Don't give up! Believe in yourself!
Hora! Uemuite
Now! Look up!
Mou! Furimukanaide...

Mion!
Aira!
Rhythm-chan!
Go!
Hop!
Step!
Jump!
MARs Phoenix!
Excellent!
What a wonderful performance!
Their score is...
9770 carats!
They're currently in first place!
I never expected such an incredible new technique.
These girls really are something.
Now this is more like it.
Aira's incredible!
She's shining much brighter than she did yesterday!
We'll give it everything we've got!
Right!
Miss President!
We did it!
Nice jump.
We did it, Andy!
My heart feels so alive!
That's...
It's time for our final trio!
Jounouchi Serena, Toudou Kanon and Chris Kaname!
It's their turn on stage!
They're here!
If we can beat them, we've won!
A moment, Rhythm.
Okay.
Whaddaya think?
These costumes are worth eight billion yen.
You're exaggerating.
Still, it doesn't feel too bad.
Serenon!
Don't you dare lose!
You've got a clear path to the dreamy backscreen!
Miya-san!
Put these costumes up for sale!
Not only did he get the wrong idea about this event, but he doesn't even know how to cheer!
I'm going to rake in big bucks!
Mr. President.
You have a phone call from your wife...
I mean, from the Commander.
Hello! Steven here!
Why do you have that doll?
Huh?
That belonged to Kanzaki Sonata!
What's the meaning of this?
Itai koto ieru hito ga dondon kiete wa inaku naru
I have something I want to say, but the person is disppearing quickly
Mou rival jibun shikkainai sou iikikasetteru
I'm going to warn you that not everyone is my own rival
Impressive.
Iiwake dake kikoete kuru zunzun ochite wa modorenai
It's just an excuse for me to turn and hear you, but I'm falling for you fast and I can't go back
Are you...
Kanzaki Sonata's daughter?
Nee kanashii keredo shikatanai sore ga genjitsu nano
So, I can't stand sadness, that's reality
That's right.
Never let me down honki de Hey Come On
Never let me down! Truly! Hey, come on!
I am Kanzaki Sonata's daughter.
You trained for a year to perform the Aurora Rising?!
That's insane!
Excuse me!
Wait, Rhythm!
Jibun no jinsei kaerareru kara
That's because I can return to my own life
Yuuki dashite genki dashite
Have courage! Cheer up!
Omoikiri iki yo
Let's live with all our heart!
Honto no teki wa jibun jishin sa
The true enemy is yourself
Southern Storm!
Nandodemo jirasenaide
Don't become flustered, no matter what
Northern Storm!
Sukoshizutsu aruki da sou
Little by little, we'll move forward
Summer Storms!
Yeah!
Rainbow Power!
We'll mow down the skies!
Prism Rainbow Hurricane Maximum!
Yeah!
Now, Kaname!
Rhythm!
I'm not finished!
Aurora...
Rising!
What the heck?!
How shameless.
The time has come!
Their Prism Jump was a complete failure!
Hey, Kaname!
What do you think you're doing?!
That's odd.
I don't feel Happy-Lucky, like I did when I was dancing with Aira.
I suppose that's good enough for now.
Their total is...
7490 carats!
The winners of this year's Pure Crystal High Heel Cup are Takamine Mion, Harune Aira and Amamiya Rhythm!
We won!
He came all this way to watch, and we...
He left already?!
The winners will receive a rare Stone, the Pure Crystal High Heels!
Here, Rhythm-chan.
We got the Pure Crystal High Heels! Hooray!
With the arrival of the one from the north, the wheels of destiny
frozen within the night of the shining aurora, have begun to turn again.
Perhaps the time has come to release ourselves from these passing days of self-circumscription.
Sister...
There's no mistake.
Chris Kaname tried to perform the Aurora Rising.
Did I do well today, Mom?
Yes, you did.
Hooray!
Sonata!
It's her, all right.
Sonata's...
Sonata's come back to Japan.
This is destiny.
None can defy the Wheel of Fortune.
Singing Teacher Me-Me
Mia Reina Karin
They'll be practicing extra hard with their assigned song now.
What are the Friends doing?
Pure White Wedding Dress
Look how pretty the Pure White Wedding Dress is!
Yeah.
That dress looks great on Mion-chan.
Pure and Fresh
Huh?
When did she wear this?
That's a secret!
C'mon! We've gotta practice!
Hello, Me-Me-sensei!
Good afternoon.
Today, we'll be practicing the lyrics.
Today's Lesson
Lyrics
Okay.
For example, in You May Dream, the lyrics are quite fun.
Lyrics Lesson
Yes.
How do you react to the fun lyrics?
That makes sense.
It's very important to imagine the song when you sing.
Point Imagine the song when you sing!
I see.
Try to imagine the song when you sing the lyrics.
Okay.
Don't worry! I'll always be there for you when you cry. I told my friend I loved him, but I fell in love at first sight with an older man. It's not true love if you get bored quickly.
Let's try this line, "but I fell in love at first sight with an older man."
"What's he like?"
What's he like? 「But I fell in love at first sight with an older man」
It's quite hard to describe that line.
Yes.
So today, I'd like you to imagine it, and draw a picture.
Draw a Picture!!
Draw a picture from the lyrics
Point How tall is he? What's he like? Etc. Draw a detailed picture
Show us your "Love at first sight"!!
If you're finished, please show me your pictures.
Okay.
Ready, set...
Ta-da!
Your faces are pretty big!
Reina Mia
Karin
Eek!
He's so cool!
I'm in love!
Your bangs are pretty straight, Karin-chan.
She drew a ring.
Girls in our class...
It's fun to talk about the lyrics with your friends!
After the Break Lyric visualization training!!
We've got more fun lessons for you after the break!
Singing Teacher Me-Me
Mia Reina Karin
It's time for them to practice the lyrics!
There's a line in the song, "Don't agonize over it alone."
Don't agonize over it alone Don't worry! I'll always be there for you when you cry
Let's create an image from the lyrics
How would you cheer each other up?
Try to demonstrate it.
Okay.
Karin Gentle encouragement
~Encourage your friend~
There, there, Reina.
Cheer up.
Mia.
Reina Encouragement through empathy
What's wrong?
You must have lots to worry about.
What's wrong, Karin?
Mia Energetic encouragement!
Mia!
What's wrong?
Let me take you to your favorite store!
Huh? Wait!
Mia!
There's no right answer for all situations.
It's important to think about how you would react.
Point Come up with an original idea!
Use those feelings when you sing.
Okay.
Let's work hard so we won't embarrass ourselves in front of our new member.
The new member is coming soon!?
Yeah!
Happy-Lucky-Go!
