Ramen
Thank you.
Phew, I'm stuffed.
Ramen
Here?
It's super good!
You're a regular at this ramen shop?
You're so mature.
It's not like it's it abnormal to have a favorite.
The only shop I go to regularly is the music shop.
Only the bakery for me.
That's Saya's place!
Let's celebrate your recovery.
Welcome!
Hey, hurry up and go in-
Good evening.
Sounds like you'll be able to audition, then.
Yep! I'm gonna give it my all!
I see.
Ichigaya-san?
Yes?
Come again whenever you like.
I still have lots of restaurants to recommend.
Thanks...
Good luck.
Thanks!
Thank you for the meal.
Thank you!
Arisa-chan, are you and Nana-chan...
Ramen buddies?
Ra-members?
No! I just stopped by a few times when I was learning the keyboa-
Reeeally?
It doesn't even matter.
Top secret training, how cool!
I wanna do that!
I go running every morning.
Wow!
Wanna run?!
Sure.
What?
In that case...
For stamina!
Note: Contains crushed garlic, which is believed to help keep up one's energy levels.
That doesn't even work!
You think?
DAIDO MUMON
T-shirts!
What if we all get matching shirts to wear to practice?
That might give us a boost!
PoPiPa t-shirts, I like the sound of that.
We'll have to think of a design.
Let's get started tomorrow!
Okay!
Hip, hip, hooray!
Don't forget about final exams. Hip, hip, hooray!
Don't forget about final exams.
Did you forget?
Okay, miso ramen coming up!
Thank you!

O-Tae, you do this every day?
Yep! Every morning.
Except when it's raining. Or when I'm too sleepy.
Every... day...?
I can't! I'm gonna die!
You guys are crazy...
I could go for another lap or so!
You're crazy, O-Tae!
I'm going home! I'm taking a shower and going to sleep.
What?! What about school?
I don't care!
Let's have a race to Arisa's house, then!
And the first one to arrive gets to shower first, yeah?
Don't be stupid! We'd be at a total disadvantage!

What are you doing?
A play?
A vocal warm-up!
We have an audition coming up soon!
Oh!
PoPiPa!
Hey!
Cut it out, you're embarrassing us.
Saya-chan, could you help me with this part?
Ah, try using this formula.
Okay.
Arisa...
...Which part?
Right here.
I'm stuck on that too.
You too, O-Tae?
And this one.
I don't get that part either!
What about this one?
No idea.
Whoa.
Maybe it's destiny.
You both need to memorize all of these.
All of them?!
That's impossible!
Well then, at least this one, this one, and this one!
I did it!
Saya-chan, I did it!
Yay!
Here, you get a Yamabuki Bakery choco coronet!
Woohoo!
No fair...
You'll get yours when you finish up what you're working on.
All right! O-Tae, we can do this-
Really?
O-Tae! You're dead if you fall asleep!
Leave school as soon as you get your tests back. PoPiPa's Audition! Let's do this!
Ichigaya-san!
Want to do some karaoke?
What?
We're all finished with tests now, what do you say?
Oh... I'm sorry, I've got band practice...
I see. Your audition's coming up soon, right?
Um... If you want to go during summer break... that should be fine...
Okay, summer break then!
If you guys are performing live, we'll come and cheer you on!
Sure... that would make me really happy... Thank y-
Arisa! Warehouse practice!
Huh?
Do you have a fever?
Shooting Stars Pawn Shop
We got through a lot today!
I can't move my fingers anymore.
Well, those were the last finishing touches.
I'm starving.
See you guys tomorrow, then.
Tomorrow...
It's really tomorrow.
Um... is it okay if I stay at your house tonight, O-Tae-chan?
Really?! You can stay as long as you like!
Me too?!
Of course!
Maybe I'll go too.
Sure!
How about you, Arisa?
Well, won't that be too many people...?
Can we meet at the station after we go home and get a change of clothes?
I didn't even say I was going...
Let's grab some snacks on the way!
Okay!
See you later, Arisa!
Hey! What am I supposed to be bringing?!
Hey!
How cute!
I'll introduce you all.
Here's Shiroppi,
Purple-chan,
Danjuro,
Doro-chan,
Otchan,
and my mom.
I'm Tae-chan's mom.
It's nice to see you again.
It's been a while, Rimi-rin.
You're all so cute!
Otchan, which one do you want to marry?
What?
Dinner's ready when you are.
Make sure you get nice and full.
Okay! Thank you!
Let's go, my five-girl team! Go!
Go!
...She's kind of an airhead.
Look who's talking!
Thank you for dinner!
Here's one more for you.
Okay!
It's so much faster with three people!
You sure you don't want to marry into this house?
How cute!
Sheet music?
Beginner A Piano Book for Everyone
I used to use this same book.
Arisa, the bath is ready!
Thanks...
What's the matter?
It's just, I've never used someone else's bath before.
What about hot springs or public baths?
That's a little different...
Huh?! Why are you getting undressed?!
I can't exactly get in with my clothes on.
You're getting in?
Aren't you?
You know, I just-
Don't worry, it's a really big bathtub.
D-don't-
Don't take off your clothes!
What's going on in there?
O-Tae!
Something smells really nice!
It's my outer space bath salts.
Outer space? Rimi-rin, it's outer space!
All of you, get out!
Rimi-rin, your fingers are so rough!
Yours too, Kasumi-chan!
Guitar callouses! O-Tae's are even rougher!
Arisa's hands are so soft.
Feels nice!
Quit touching me!
It's about time for lights out.
What? What about the pillow fight?
Good night!
'Night.
Good night.
But the pillow fight...
Not happening.
Can't sleep, huh.
Wow... I can hear the sound of our heartbeats.
Can you see the stars?
Mm...
Try looking at them with your heart.
With her heart?
I saw them!
Huh?
Close your eyes, close your eyes!
What?
Well?
I can't see anything.
Rimi-ri-
Sorry...
Really?!
How about you, O-Tae?
She's asleep.
She's like a newborn.
She was the most nervous of all of us.
If it's from up on stage...
I want to see it...
with all of you...
Good morning!
Morning.
Good morning.
Morning!
I've given you all the schedule for parent teacher conferences,
so don't forget to pass it on to your parents and have a look, okay?
Okay.
Also, final exams may be over with, but there's still some time left before summer break.
Be careful not to lose focus or stay out too late at night, and summer break will be...
Let's go.
You came.
Yes!
PoPiPa!
Yay!
It's their last audition, isn't it?
Yeah.
Toyama-san.
Senpai...
Over here.
Um, is my sister...
They're about to start.
Let's huddle up!
Man, I'm nervous...
I want to eat something sweet...
Let's all eat some. A big pile!
After all of this is over.
Kasumi.
Come on, PoPiPa!
Yeah!
One, two, three, four!
Arisa!
I messed up.
Even after all of that practice...
I should have been able to do it!
Arisa...
I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
Me too!
My fingers were... shaking so much...
But...
we all stuck it out until the end!
You too, Arisa-chan...
Rimi...
I don't think I even have to ask you four.
What about you?
I gave you my best.
Music is something people do because they love it.
Only you can say whether you did your best or not.
It was a good performance.
You pass.
Yes!
Are you serious?!
Kasumi!
Amazing...
This is amazing!
PoPiPa!
Another bottle of Dom Perignon!
Woohoo!
Yuri-rin, are you crying?!
No...
You are crying, aren't you!
Alrighty, we're havin' a party today!
Party, party!
