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

Kisaragi Music Office Akiba Music school
The plan is like I taught you yesterday.
You'll come in at the left side of the stage. It'll be fine.
There'll be a floor director at the venue,
so you concentrate on your singing.
I'll take you to the venue once again this evening, so...
Just double check where you're supposed to stand.
Yes!
And also, tonight, I've reserved a room at the Excellence Hotel, so relax.
Thank you very much.
I'm looking forward to it.
Director Kisaragi received this award
and became a superstar a long time ago.
The Music Police Awards are a gala occasion.
Even a backstage person like me gets excited!
I'll be cheering you on, okay?
The title of superstar
follows the one who receives that crown for life.
It's that prestigious an award!
Superstar...
I'm starting to shake with excitement!
We're going to be able to stand on the same stage as Ms. Reika, right?
Big sisters?
Ms. Reika...
It's finally time.
I... Ms. Reika... Ms. Reika, we are glad that you're our senior, Ms. Reika.
Because of that I was able to get all the way here.
But this one award I won't give up to you.
This is my battlefield. I can't lose.
I look forward to it, this tenseness.
I love this tenseness immeasurably.
Tomorrow morning, I will become Kisaragi Akiba.
A legendary singer like Ms. Kisaragi
who forever remains a bright memory in one's soul...
that won't disappear in a hundred, a thousand years...
I will definitely grasp this chance.
I won't hand it over to anyone.
Ms. Reika...
Reika...
Your strength is that you will never let the word "satisfaction" touch your lips,
has made you what you are now.
Aim for them, those heights that no one else has ever seen.
You have the ability to do so.
I didn't think it could be, but...
Yes, that the three siblings would meet...
If Akari hadn't said she wanted to become a singer that night...
That's right.
Those children's strong feelings about singing
gave birth to a miracle.
I want to try it. I want to SING!
In front of a whole bunch of people! With a loud voice!
Right now, I can only think of being a vocalist.
I become happy when I sing. I feel that it's great that I'm alive!
I feel as though Akari and her sisters have saved my soul.
Father...
All we can do now is give them our full support.
I was waiting to hear those words!
What is it?
Go for it,. R3! What is it?
Go for it, R3! Here, this is yours, Father!
Go for it, R3! Otoki...
Okay, let's do it!
Yes! This is the first time I've ever been so excited!
Oh? Same here.
She really became a singer. It makes me happy.
Chief?
See? It's completely different from yesterday, isn't it?
Oh!
Chief! What are you going to do? You're crying already?
Idiot! I know already! What about you? Hurry up and get to work!
He's working you like usual?
You! Yuki!
Been a while!
Yeah, that's it.
That's how it was?
Chief, I did it, didn't l?
Yeah. Quite a feat. Really, you climbed up so high.
Tomorrow I'll shine the best lights of my life on you!
Thank you.
Are you okay? Thank you.
Are you okay?
Idiot! How can I not be touched by this?!
There really was an angel of music after all! She must be by you three!
Angel of music?
Yeah, In this business, from a while back,
there's been something called the angel of music.
There's a legend that only those favored by that angel
can become big stars.
Angel of music?
You try hard tomorrow! I'll put my heart into it too! Here!
Go for it, R3!
Me too!
Angel of music? I'll like to meet her.
Yeah.
She's an angel, after all. She must be cute.
I wonder if she's listening to our song?
I'm sure she is.
Tomorrow... Anyway, tomorrow, we've got to try hard!
That's right. A lot of things happened,
but I'm glad I didn't give up.
I even got to meet a nice big sister and a cute little sister.
And Ms. Reika too!
That's right!

25th Music Police Award Grand Prize Presentation Ceremony
It has come again this year.
The Music Police Awards are welcoming their 25th anniversary.
Yes, this Music Police Award which has created many legends.
It seems we can expect something exceptional this year too.
I'm already excited!
And so let's welcome our nominees!
Look, look, Father! Isn't Akari pretty?
I wish we could have shown this to Kaito too.
I'm sure he's watching over her from Heaven.
Young Miss!
Yuki!
Akari! Will they be all right?
All three of them are together. There's no need to worry.
That's right! They will do it well for us!
All three of you, go for it!
Dear, Nozomi is...
Oh, she's coming out, she's coming out! Nozomi!
Such a happy face!
It's the same smile we were shown back then.
Yes, it's her best face, isn't it?
These are all the people nominated for the 25th Music Police Award.
From these, one musical artist will shine with the award!
Please look at the center of the stage. This crown will...
This isn't a lie, is it?
What are you saying? Should I pinch your cheek?
Look! Look! Father! Mother! Jeeves!
We get to sing in front of this many people!
If you're happy with just that, it's no good.
Ms. Reika...
Today there is only one person who'll become the main character,
the one who takes the award.
Only one...
Ms. Reika...
I will receive that crown.
Today, I am going to be the main character here!
It's begun. Let's go.
Please let me be alone for a while longer.
Kisaragi...
Let's go. Reika, and then R3, your musical children,
are putting everything on the line trying to fight.
No matter what the results may be, you have a responsibility to see it through.
I'm sorry for saying such impudent things.
Is this the first time you've ever been mad at me?
The three of them worry you, don't they?
You are the mother of music. They are your children,
that were raised at the side of the mother of music,
just as Reika was. You are their mother.
And you are a very strong family.
I'll go.
Every year this award becomes my goal and encourages me.
And now we'll get ready for the song.
This is Aki Fujiwara with her song, "Just Now."
Reika hasn't come on yet, right? Ooo bad, let's go home ASAP!
Are you serious? Let's watch it here.
Aren't you cold?
It's all right, isn't it?
Thank you very much. That was Aki Fujiwara with "Just Now."
Now to continue with the appearances,
the huge newbies that debuted this year,
that have been nominated for the Rookie Award,
as well as the Grand Prize, the three who are R3!
Their song is, of course, "Pure Blue!"
Ooh yeah, we wanna sing with you

What I can do for the three that are R3
is to make them the best of the best, like Reika.
For that, I won't use sweet words.
That way of expressing love is just like you.
You'll still help me, won't you, Shirou?
Of course.
The last person we'll introduce to you
is Japanese music history's ultimate princess of song, Reika.
The song is a record breaking big hit
in the areas of sales of the single, cable broadcasts,
and requests on the radio, "Priority!"
She'll sing for you

And now, they have finished tallying the judges' votes,
and it's finally time to announce the award!
Who will win the prestigious grand prize?
The crown to be awarded to the winner is being transported
to the center of the stage.
Whose head will this crown shine on tonight?
Now, for this year,
who will decorate the end of this year
and shine with the Music Police Grand Prize?
Singing "Priority," it is Reika!
Congratulations, Reika.
She did it, didn't she?!
See? Really!
Isn't it wonderful?
Ms. Reika, congratulations!
Thank you. Next time, it's your turn. R3 can definitely win it.
What's important is confidence, you know.
Yes! We'll try hard!
What? What's wrong?
The stones in that crown...
...are the same.
Is that so? The same as those blue stones you have?
What? What does that mean?
That's something you should ask the person
who has a crown exactly like this one.
Oh, you can't mean...
You should make sure on your own.
I wanna tell you (love forever) I just wanna feel your heart
