The brilliant world of music...
The angel of music said to live there...
Only he who receives the smile of the angel can become a star.
Who will the angel bestow that chance upon?
The spotlight may be the only one that knows...
Ooh yeah, we wanna sing with you
Because I'm only dreaming
So my friends all laugh
If you don't believe, then nothing can come to be
My heart tells me that's all right
I love this kind of being alone
I want you to hold me tight
I can't see how much farther it is
Overcome any kind of lonely night
Until I reach you
I am the twinkle of a star
Hey! Over here! Here!

Come in.
Well, I'll be going. I've made the preparations for dinner,
so put it in the microwave and eat it whenever you like.
Thank you. Do my share of cheering for her, too, please.
Why, of course! It's Akari and her group's first appearance on TV!
I'll cheer her on as much as I can! Even though I'm like this now,
I shone as a cheerleader when l was young! Well then, I'm going!
Dear...
Is it soon?
It's soon, so why don't you relax a bit?

Yes, I'm not alone, am l?
Well, it's a few days before the release of your CD,
your first television appearance, and it's even live.
It just means that a lot of people are watching the moment of your debut.
Please don't put so much pressure on us like that!
There are over ten thousand people on the other side of that lens.
Countless numbers will be watching you.
It's time.
Yes!
It's time!
I know already!
Finally, finally this moment has come!
That was Aki Fujiwara with "Just Now."
And now to continue, it's the appearance of R3,
who shone at the M & K Record 30th Anniversary Rookie Audition!
Nozomi!
I'm Akari of R3!
I'm Yuki!
I'm Nozomi!
Please listen to "Pure Blue!"
Your new drama is beginning right now.
It's up to you what kind of scenario is to be written.
Don't forget that.
Miss Nozomi!
Akari!
Yuki!

No way! It says our first appearance is at number one!
It's like a dream, isn't it?
Ouch! What're you doing?!
Making sure it's not a dream!
Don't use someone else!
But it's not a dream.
We're really number one!
We did it!
Is it okay if I pinch you again?!
We're number one!
It got late, didn't it? I'll see you to your condo.
You were here?
For a meeting.
R3's?
Yes, please take me to the office. R3's?
Yes, please take me to the office.
It's a perfect start for R3, isn't it?
It's partly because of the news that they took the grand prize
at the audition and that they're unusual.
It's from now on that they will grow wings and learn how to fly.
Until they will fly high into the sky, much more time is needed.
You're tired, aren't you? Why don't you go home today?
I'm fine, and when I'm busy I don't have to think of other things.
It was like that with Reika too.
You take care of them as if they were your own children, don't you?
If they were alive, they'd be about the same age.
Sometimes I overlay their images over on R3.
That's no surprise.
What are you doing about the press conference
for Reika's new song tomorrow?
I'll leave it to you.
It seems I'll be in charge of R3's planning for a while, so...
I see.

I wanna do, I wanna kiss, don't you know?
That's right. Got it. I wanna do, I wanna kiss, don't you know?
That's right. Got it. Kareru...
That's it for rehearsal. Please take a break until the real thing.
That was the best, Reika!
Looking good, aren't you? Counting on that for the real thing, okay?
Looking good?
A vague uneasiness rises within me. I can't concentrate on my singing.
This is the first time anything like this has happened.
Uneasiness? You were abandoned by your own mother in your dark past.
And the person who picked you up was...
Will you come with me?
To you, Kisaragi is "mother."
But now that Kisaragi is...
... helping only them,
you yourself don't get any attention.
In your soul, the uneasiness of being abandoned has once again sprouted.
And right now that is looming hugely over you.
You know, don't you?
That Kisaragi as your mother is more important to you than singing.
I...
Then why did you begin singing?
That is... I loved singing since I was little and...
Wasn't it really to capture Kisaragi's heart?
If you betray her expectations,
there leaves nothing but to be abandoned.
That's not it!
I... I...
I love singing more than anything,
and if I have my singing then I don't need anything else.
You said that before too. But can you say that and mean it now?
You were just hiding a weak soul.
It's open.
It is okay?
That R3 beat you in the charts...
You wouldn't be bothered by something like that, right?
Is it Kisaragi? It shouldn't be something you should be uneasy over.
As you need Kisaragi, Kisaragi needs you too
Needs me?
You were the one who gave the dead Kisaragi life.
Hello, Ms. Kisaragi. I am Reika. I really like your songs, Ms. Kisaragi.
They make me happy. I even forget the sad things.
This is the first time I've ever felt like this.
From the time I was born, my mother told me that I wasn't needed
and that it would've been better if I hadn't been born.
That's why I thought I was an unnecessary child.
I listened to your record, Ms. Kisaragi.
Ms. Kisaragi, your songs brought me back to life.
Thank you for giving me hope to live.
I have decided. I will become a vocalist
who can make a person's soul feel heavenly like you, Ms. Kisaragi.
I will live. - Reika.
...and then you were brought back to life by Kisaragi.
Will you come with me?
Your bond with Kisaragi is something that will never disappear,
and there are the millions of people who need you.
R3 is trying hard because of your existence.
Because you're here, they came into this business.
You're all connected. You'll never be abandoned by anyone again.
Will you come with me? Reika, you and I will live together.
It's a promise.
I am not alone.
I know that!
We'll paint the night tonight
Nobody else. She'll sing for you. Ooo

I wanna tell you (Love forever) I just wanna feel your heart
Everyday, everywhere, forever
Born somewhere in the night sky (Yes) the light of stars
That might be you
That might be me, right?
Probably loneliness and tears
Will make me stop in the streets, those days exist
But if you place your palm on mine
The soul is an important thing, the truth of your dreams
Yes, your soul will teach you
Love forever (Love forever) is somewhere you can reach
Everyday, everywhere, forever
Don't need words anymore
With a very warm smile
Let's begin, love forever
For the sake of these children too...
This time, to capture happiness that I will never lose...
