I'M A BIRD!
We need some help here.
We apologize for the earlier disturbance.
WHAT?! BIRDS HAVE A LOT OF SECRETS IN THEM, YOU KNOW!
Sorry to bother you.
I wanna be on TV!
Pengie-sensei doesn't know anything about TV.
He's desperate to get on TV.
He should've pretended to be a plushie.
He should've learned something by now.
The world of show business isn't very forgiving.
Let me start over.
Regarding the Prism Shows, I'd like to ask you about your flashy jumps.
The many different jumps you offer are part of the show's popularity.
First, you jump high into the air.
Fresh Fruits Basket!
Colorful Chocolate Parade!

Sometimes, you do jumps in pairs.

Sometimes the three of you jump together.

The dancing water spray, and especially the dolphins made it extra special.
Oh, I see!

Not to forget, the most popular item these days are your Surprise Stones.
You even had a maid uniform.
That was adorable!
There was a special outfit inside that stone!
We had a great time dancing at the festival.
You have seasonal outfits as well, right?
We wore this at Christmas!
It was a beautiful white Christmas.
We became Santa, and gave everyone miraculous presents.
Cheer Bracelets!
May I ask you about your favorite outfit, Aira-san, fashion lead of MARs?
I-I-I'm the fashion lead of MARs?!
You're the leader!
Um, this season, I have a lovely lightweight pink skirt with diamond stockings and lovely tight boots.
I think it's a very Happy-Lucky outfit.
With your hairstyles, shirts, pants, shoes, accessories and make-up Stones,
your outfits make each show a hit.
Fluttering Petals of Love!
Yes.
We use our outfits, jumps and dances together.
It's a winning combination.
I feel like we know much more about the Prism Show now.
We've got a surprise Prism Stone outfit quiz for you now!
Huh?!
Here's the question!
What kind of outfit is this?
Star, Lovely, or...
Please give us your thoughts!
Um...
There's a white rose ribbon...
Time for the answer. The correct answer is...
What is it?
We'll tell you after the break!
Welcome back to our New Year's Special: Secrets of the Prism Show's Popularity!
Where we bring you the secrets of the wildly popular Prism Show.
Our guests are the members of MARs!
We will announce the answer to the quiz we held before the break.
The answer is: it's a feminine outfit.
Oh, I see!
You've done your homework!
Huh?
Hey, Rhythm.
You're a Prism Star.
The important parts are that the outfit consisted of a long-sleeved stripped sweater and a tight office-style skirt.
To continue, I would like to introduce a famous contestant in the Prism World.
May we call them your rivals?
Kanzaki Sonata became famous for performing the legendary Aurora Rising.
After she left the stage, Togashi Karina became the new Prism Queen to everyone's amazement and held it for a long time.
That's right.
But now, new contenders for the title of Prism Queen have appeared.
First, we have the over the top Kansai girls, Serenon.
Their experience as Manzai comedians has greatly enhanced their teamwork.
Itai koto ieru hito ga dondon kiete wa inaku naru
I have something I want to say, but the person is disappearing quickly
Their teamwork makes them an incredible pair.
Not to mention their amazing talent.
Mou rival jibun shikkainai sou iikikasetteru
I'm going to warn you that not everyone is my own rival
Jounouchi Serena is a real power fighter.
Furthermore, she is the daughter of the CEO of the famous Jounouchi Corporation.
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
She's a real lady.
Wow!
We've analyzed her abilities.
Hat Trick Star!

So, I can't stand sadness, that's reality
Never let me down honki de Hey Come On
Never let me down! Truly! Hey, come on!
Goal!
Her partner, Toudou Kanon, is also very popular.
Prism Rainbow Hurricane!
There she is!
Their elegance stings like a bee.
Jibun no jinsei kaerareru kara
That's because I can return to my own life
It's akin to her performance as the straight lady in their comedy act.
I don't like her.
Yuuki dashite genki dashite
Have courage! Cheer up!
Did something happen between you two?
Omoikiri iki yo
Let's live with all our heart!
She's Hibiki's little—
Um, please continue with your analysis.
Honto no teki wa jibun jishin sa
The true enemy is yourself
We included her talent with crafting jokes into our analysis.

Don't become flustered, no matter what

Little by little, we'll move forward
Smiling Heart Diamond Duet!
Thanks a bunch!
A new star has taken center stage.
She's almost like a comet.
Her name is Chris Kaname.
She recently debuted in the Crystal High Heel Cup.
Very little is known about her.
She's small but has incredible power.
She possesses incredible speed.
It's as though she was born for the Prism Show.
She appears to have been born with a special talent.
As more talented competitors appear, it's impossible to tear one's eyes away from the Prism Show.
Aurora Rising!
The winter season is over, and competition is heating up!
That's right.
There are so many talented competitors.
We can't get complacent.
The most important competition, the Prism Queen Cup,
the final tournament in the Prism Queen Series, is finally about to begin.
Please tell us what your current goals are.
Certainly.
As idols, we have experience performing at the Budokan.
I want to become an inspiration to professionals everywhere, and perform even better.
I want to experience many new things, perform better jumps,

If you just admire it, it will end as a dream
Um, well...
Unlike my friends here, I can't sing, dance or jump very well.
Move on! Aserazu susumou
Move on! Calmly move forward
But I love thinking about how to create new outfits!
And...
There are people who cheer for me.
There are people who watch me.
I want to make them smile.
That's why I want to work hard!
MARs Phoenix!
Thank you very much.
We've managed to learn a lot about MARs today.
Well then...
Bye-bye!
That's a wrap!
Thanks for your help!
Thank you so much.
Oh, no.
We should be thanking you.
I'd be even happier if I could make more people enjoy the Prism Show.
We've become huge fans of Prism Shows.
There's so much to the Prism Shows.
The Prism Jump is a leap from the heart.
Excitement turns into sparkles.
The Prism's sparkle will always be with you.
We need to work hard, too.

They seem happy.
I'm glad.

Dance, dance!
Thanks for your help!
Sorry to bother you.
I...
I wanted to be on TV!
I wanted to have a fun chat with Konno-chan and Ueda-chan!
To no avail...
Leave me alone! Don't pity me just because I'm a bird!
I'm a bird! I'm a bird!
Happy New Year!
