Let's go! Together, we will grasp that star.
Starlight...
It's the story of goddesses drawn by the glow of the heavens.
But they are pulled from one another, never to meet again. It is a sad story.
Our dream will not come to be...

Ano hoshi o tsukamu no wa daare? Who, oh who, will be the one to grab hold of the star?
Tou no choujou de At the very top of that tower
Shizuka ni tomotta honou ga atsuku mune o kogashite iku These flames lit in silence fill my chest with a white-hot passion
Unmei no wa That's just the Wheel of Fortune
Butai no ue de odorasareteiru wake ja nai It's not like I'm being forced to dance on this stage
Tobitate Spring forth
Tashika ni ano hi mitanda I'm sure I saw it that day
Hajiketa hoshi no kirameki The brilliance of a star that has burst open
Iroaseta yakusoku ni yubi ga fureru made Until my fingers reach out to touch that faded promise
Makuake mae ni hajimaru It will start before the curtain rises
Me no mae de tsuzurareteku And be spelled out before our eyes

Hikari-chan, you said you don't like wobbly things, so...
I baked some delicious banana muffins!
Let's eat together today.
We... we did it!
You two barely made it on time, huh?
A-awful... Waking Karen-chan up today was just awful!
I did this...
and I did that...
and I even went THAT far...
But she wouldn't wake up at all!
Well, a lot of stuff happened yesterday...
"A lot"?
Enough's enough.
You need to start waking up on your own.
At this rate, you're just being a nuisance to Tsuyuzaki, right?
I-it's not like I hate waking up Karen-chan or anything...
Morning, Jun-jun!
Said like a true early bird! I'd expect nothing less from the class rep!
You're the only one who's still late even after becoming a second-year, Karen.
That's because I was dead tired yesterday!
I was worn out too, but I still got up.
Karen-chan... What's with "Jun-jun"?
No comment!
Junna-chan, did something happen between you and Karen-chan?
No comment.
Homeroom is starting.
Oh...
Let's eat lunch together for sure today, okay?
Is Saijo out today?
Huh? Claudine-chan is out today?
I wonder what happened...
Uh, we've received a proposal for next year's Seisho Festival from Group B.
Please make sure you all read it thoroughly.
Here!
Kagura, this will be your first Seisho Festival, right?
Proposal - 100th Seisho Festival
It's a performance that all the students put on for the parents...
I guess it's sort of like a culture festival.
Proposal - 100th Seisho Festival
Be careful carrying that!
We in the 99th class are going to do "Starlight" for all of our three years here.
And each year, we're going to steadily improve our performance!
I see...
Also, for our next Seisho Festival, it's been decided that Daiba will also work behind the scenes.
Together with Group B, she'll be studying scriptwriting and stage production.
Banana?
I really do love singing and dancing...
But I've also gained an interest in things like production, scriptwriting, and stage setting.
So, you're not going to be on stage anymore, Banana?
That depends on the script, I guess.
Of course, if it's a small part, I'll probably do it.
But that's a waste of your talent!
Banana-chan, you're so good at singing and dancing...
It's precisely because she knows what it's like to be onstage that she should be able to write for it.
Maya-chan...
I look forward to a good production...
One that uses all of us to the fullest.
Thank you.
I'll be sure we put on the ultimate performance, just like our last "Starlight."
99th Seisho Festival
Best of luck, Banana-han! I look forward to seeing your work.
Thanks, Kaoruko-chan!
And so...
in hopes that this time, for sure, you get the lead role...
Here's a good-luck candy!
What?!
Come on now, Kaoruko!
Have some candy.
Bribery is bad, you know. And that's bribery.
Here ya go!
That goes for you too!
Nana, give the audition your all, okay?
I definitely want to show everyone that I can get the lead role!
Jun-jun, be aggressive!
Okay, me too!
U-um, if you get the lead role, Karen-chan, then... well, if I could be the supporting role, then-!
Bonjour.
Ah! Claudine-chan!
Oh, my. I, of all people, unfortunately overslept.
Hm? The Seisho Festival? It's almost time for it to begin, isn't it?
Claudine-chan, listen! For the next Seisho Festival, Banana will be working behind the scenes!
Oh, is that so?
Ah. So that's why all of you were trying to bribe Banana?
Goodness. "Bribe" is such a tasteless word...
Fine, then allow me to contribute...
Care for some macarons verdant?
Wait, you played the main role last year, so you can't do it again!
Huh?
Okay, okay. I get it.
Good morning.
Morning.

Huh?
I guess Karen-chan went home before me...
Huh?
Hikari-chan!
Hm? What?!
W-wait a minute! What is this?!
Hey, c'mon, Hikari-chan! Hika-
Hikari-chan! Hika-
Wait, wait! Hikari-chan, why are you locking me in here? Did I do something wrong?
Or maybe you're angry? Hikari-chan!
I-I don't know, but it's already dark and it's time to eat!
In any case, let's just calm down and talk things over, okay?
Okay?
Hikari-chan! Wait! I can't eat like this!

You're making a scary face.
Huh?
Here you go!
Oh, thanks.
Have you made any progress on what you're looking up?
Not really. I mean, I'm not even sure what I should be looking up...
How's the script coming along?
I've still just barely started.
The first step is to read a lot, write a lot, and just learn and learn!
Good luck, Banana from Karen
I have to do my best... For everyone else's sake as well.
Yeah.
Watch the floor.
You'll get hurt if you don't wipe it properly, Claudine-ko.
Futaba?
She's not in her room...
Or in the living room.
Karen-chan?
She's not in here, either.
I see. Sorry to intrude.
Since you're already here, how about you join me, Mahiru?
Huh?
I've been quite bored here... since Futaba left.
Why...?
Did something happen between you and Tendo?
Huh?
That's the only thing that could make you act strange.
She's your "rival," right?
Hm?
H-hey!
Well, I just wanted to teach her a lesson!
Isn't that a bit cowardly, Miss "Talented Child Actress"?!
Now that I've grown up, I'm just a regular person!
I'm the only one who's different.
That's what I came to think. And yet...
I couldn't reach it.
M-merci.
Honestly... This is unbelievable.
How could Futaba leave me all alone for so long?
Mahiru-han, you've been abandoned as well, right? By Karen-han, that is.
"Abandoned"?! I don't really think...
Even though you say, "Karen-chan, I love you!" in your sleep every night?
Oh? So you really DO say that?
Stop messing around!
I am just messing around... of course.
An unexpected friendship between two girls in a bath,
formed when the someone important is suddenly gone...
It's strange, don't you think?
Hikari Kagura... Ever since she came here...
How surprising. Futaba, I thought you only had eyes for Kaoruko.
I do like her, and I'm grateful to her.
I have to look after her till she can take care of herself.
That's what I thought, at least.
But, I think I can do it.
I figured I'd always be playing secondary roles, but I think I can...
Be the Top Star?

Okay!
Quietly, quietly... Tiptoe, tiptoe, and...
Karen!
You can't! Karen!
I have to go!
And I'm going to win!

I'm not losing.
I AM REBORN
No. 99 Trolley Furnace Fuel to the Fire
Sewing Process
Atop a stage brimming with stardust,
in the flowers of love that have so magnificently bloomed...
Student of the 99th class,
Karen Aijo!
We will all do Starlight!
The star of love which shines on the moon...
Now, gather that outpouring of light and send it to your heart!
Head of the 99th class, Maya Tendo!
Tonight, I will show you the sparkle!
Tendo-san.
And so... the third day of auditions, the Revue of Pride, will now commence.
I should be able to see it as well
No, you won't see it
The view at the top of that tower
What is in your heart?
That which the blinking eye takes in
Even the star that has yet to arrive
If it is for the sake of that promise
Will continue to streak forth
Karen Aijo, why are you in this revue?
What do you mean, "Why?" So I can be a star!
Together with Hikari-chan!
"Together"?
"If you catch a small star, you've obtained a small bit of happiness."
"If you catch a large star, you've obtained a large fortune."
Is that line from... Starlight?!
But in exchange...
What have you given up?
The call of a goddess and the celestial throne
Yes, there is only one star that drifts down
You can't... Karen!
Pride and Arrogance Revue of Pride
Come climb up, if you have the guts
Try to slay me, show me your rage
Don't be swayed by the great beast taking residence in your mind
I care nothing for those who lack resolve
I want to see that gaze, a fight with pride on the line
On the stage, there is but one star.
Seek for it, hunger for it... Thirst for it, fight for it.
I sacrificed that girl...
I discarded her.
That is the challenge of the star, a noble intention...
Yes. And that is precisely why I will...
Karen!
Going higher and shining more
Illuminating the horizon
One step forward, one step closer to the dream
That is pride
Going higher and shining more
Toward an unreachable place
That is my pride
Top Star...
I can't even come close!
I'm not losing!
I am a star, even on my own!
Position Zero.
This is Tendo Maya!
There is but one star that shines above all.
And yet, the flames of that girl's passion are...
I've watched you for so long
It seems you've set your loneliness aside
On this night, even the moon
Grins
Look this way
Oh, fly me to the star
I can't tell you how I feel
So many different lives
That I call to mind
And try to act out
Because it's your attention
That I want to attract
Oh, fly me to the star
Hikari-chan...
I lost.
Rather, I wasn't even a match for her.
How can I put this...?
I'm not sure. My head is spinning.
I should have been singing and dancing with all my strength,
but my body and my voice were just...
Hikari-chan, I-
Idiot!
Next Time Promise Tower
Revue Starlight!
I understand. I understand.
