PRAD Episode 48
Translated by Moho Kareshi
Rhythm risks it all for the finals!!
Can she pull off the Aurora Rising!?
The Prism Queen Cup's semi-finals, the Budokan Cup, is almost over.
Amamiya Rhythm is our final contestant.
To make it to the Prism Queen Cup, she must claim first place.
Jounouchi Serena and Toudou Kanon have already qualified!
Look after Uru and Eru for me, Itsuki.
I'll be right back.
Okay.
Sonata's Winter
Sonata's Winter.
Rhythm-chan!
Aira.
Wear this.
That's your Pure Crystal Tiara.
I appreciate it, but I've decided not to use it.
That's not what I meant.
There are four charms needed to bestow happiness upon newlywed brides.
One of them is "something borrowed."
That's why I'm lending it to you.
Aira...
She's right, Rhythm-chan.
Please wear it.
Mom!
What else do we need...
That's Sona-chan's teddy bear.
Why was it wearing a Prism Stone?
They're similar, but not quite the same.
There's nothing in there.
Why don't you wear it as a necklace? Then you'll have "something old".
It'll go with the Pure Crystal Tiara.
The Pure White Wedding Dress can be your "something new."
For "something blue", how about putting her image in your mind?
Great idea, Mom!
C'mon, Rhythm! Hurry!
Stop fooling around!
Everyone's trying to help you.
Don't make their efforts go to waste.
Mion...
Here we go.
Jun-san.
She'll be fine.
Rhythm!
Andy wants you to do your best, too!
Andy said that?
All right.
I won't let your feelings go to waste!
Go for it!
It's time for Amamiya Rhythm's performance!
I'm full of energy!
Rhythm-chan.
Yes?
I've always wondered.
If I had not left Sona-chan's side as her stylist, maybe she wouldn't have run away like that.
I'm so sorry, Rhythm-chan.
I'll be fine.
I have friends to back me up.
I've got so many friends now!
I'm glad things turned out like this.
Could you do for me what you did for my mom?
Of course.
The Prism's radiance will always be with you.
Amamiya Rhythm is wearing the Pure Crystal Tiara, the Pure White Wedding Dress, and the Pure Crystal High Heels.
What a legendary outfit!
I never thought that our Stone was that incredible!
You didn't know about it?
Completely.
Man... And you even say it out loud.
Akogare, mezasu sekai ni anata wa ikiteru
You live in the world that I yearn for
Itsudemo soba de mite iru kyou mo mabushii
As long as I can see you at my side, today will be another bright day
Rhythm-chan's shining!
Whoa...
What an incredible presence!
Rhythm...
“Sunderu sekai ga chigau!” Sou kanjiteta yo
"The worlds we live in are different!" That's what I believed!
Rhythm-chan!
Zone!
Demo anata no sonzai ga ichiban no hagemi
However, your existence is the best motivator
Hitotsu norikoete tsugi no suteeji he
First, I have to overcome the next stage
Dolphin Venus Perfect!
Kokoro juuden!
I'm full of energy!
Shinjite kureru hito ga hata de itsumo miteru kara
Because I always see the person next to me that I can believe in
Kurushikute mo namida wa nagasanai yo
I'm not going to shed tears of sadness!
Everyone's lending me their strength!
With this outfit, I can...
Dare ni mo koerarenai kiseki shinjite ayumeba
I'm not going to let anyone surpass me if I can walk believing in the miracle
Mada minu ano hito ni aeru hazu sa kitto
I still see through him, which is why I meet him
Aurora...
Surprise!
Protect Rhythm.
...Rising!
That's what I did...
She's done it!
The Aurora Rising!
Amamiya Rhythm surpassed Chris Kaname and performed the Aurora Rising!
L-Let's go, Kaname.
Okay, Mom.
She scored...
...9670 carats!
Amamiya Rhythm has won!
What an incredible come-from-behind victory!
She has earned the right to enter the Prism Queen Cup!
Hooray!
MARs made it to the finals.
Yeah.
Kanon and Serena did well, too.
It's so frustrating, Kanon.
You're hopeless.
You're such a crybaby.
Kanon...
We'll just have to try harder next year.
Kanon!
We'll make it to the Prism Queen Cup next year.
But first, we've gotta win the Manzai Grand Prix!
Oh, behave!
Thanks for coming!
Rhythm-chan! You did it!
Now we've kept our promise.
I understand what Mom saw...
Rhythm-chan!
Rhythm!
Rhythm-chan!
Miss President!
How's Rhythm-chan?
Is... Is she awake?
Well...
Rhythm!
Are you all right?
Meat...
Meat!
M-Meat? What are you talking about?
Are you hurt?
Bring me some meat!
Otherwise, I'll die!
R-Right!
I-Is this enough?
This is bliss!
I'm gonna take a nap.
Rhythm?
The doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her.
She was just famished.
I...see.
That's good.
She's been through so much.
She must've been holding it all in.
We should let her rest for a while.
Okay!
I'll watch over her.
You can go on home.
All right.
She'll be fine.
She'll recover in time for the Prism Queen Cup.
Right!
I have to apologize to you, Rhythm.
I've kept a secret from you all this time.
I'm glad she's okay.
I wonder what she saw when she performed the Aurora Rising.
Aira.
Uh-oh!
Kaname-chan?
Say, Aira...
Is my mom Rhythm's mom?
To be honest, your mother led a very hard life since her birth.
No one knows where she was born.
She never saw her parents.
She had no means of living when she was young.
Then, someone took her in, and made her work from dawn until dusk.
She hardly went to school.
She never had any fun.
She didn't have a reason to live.
Her life continued just like that.
She became suicidal.
That was when...
Asechi Kyoko's performance is incredible!
What will her final Jump be?
Platinum Spiral!
That was so beautiful!
I... I never knew such beauty existed!
Asechi Kyoko has won!
This year's Prism Queen is Asechi Kyoko! She's only fifteen!
She's funny!
She won, but she doesn't look happy.
Asechi-san gave your mother the will to live.
She trained hard for the Prism Show.
She helped out at the rink while she practiced at night.
She entered the Tiara Cup.
Kanzaki Sonata has won!
No one knew who she was until then.
She became a star overnight.
That was when we met.
I was just a poor street singer.
Your mom was the greatest Prism Star in Japan.
Everyone was against it, but she fell in love with me.
And one day, you were born.
She was ecstatic. She had never known how warm and loving a family could be.
But...
What's wrong?
Don't you feel well?
I'm scared.
I'm so scared.
I'm so happy...
That's what scares me!
I'm scared that I'll lose this happiness!
I'll never be this happy again!
I don't want to lose anything again!
Don't worry.
Everything will be fine.
I'm so sorry.
If it wasn't for me, your dream would have come true.
Don't worry about it.
I never had the talent to begin with.
That's not true!
You lost your job because of me!
Don't worry about it.
I'm so sorry!
That was when...
Come on. It's time for dinner.
I've heard rumors that Kanzaki Sonata, your rival, will be retiring.
She'd never retire.
I'll meet her on the rink again someday.
Please let me perform in Prism Shows again.
How many times do I have to say it?
No means no.
Kyoko wants my help!
I know how she feels.
She's just like me.
At this rate, we'll both fade into obscurity.
But...
Please!
Kyoko is my benefactor!
I think she disappeared because of me.
No, she didn't.
Rhythm?
Did Sonata-san tell you?
Did she tell you that she's Rhythm-chan's mom?
No.
When she jumped, I saw it.
Mom always loved us both.
What?
When I performed the Aurora Rising, I saw it.
I saw this.
That's...
If she hadn't used that Stone...
Aurora...
...Rising!
Mom!
Rhythm!
What are you doing here?
I love you, Mom!
Rhythm!
Kanzaki Sonata!
Kanzaki Sonata-san.
Yes?
Um... Well...
W-Will you marry me?
I know I'm a hopeless singer, and I can't even afford to buy you a wedding ring.
But I swear I'll make you happy!
Thank you, Ryutaro!
I'll never leave you!
Mom?
You're proof of our love.
We love you so much!
I couldn't abandon everything.
That's....
I don't have a mom or dad.
We have to find her!
Not now.
We have to tell her how we feel.
The Aurora Rising has a second part.
