Opening: Just A Little Bit Harder
- Office -
Good job-. Oh, everyone's here~
You're the last one Syuko. Thanks for the hard work.
P: Thanks for the hard work
Thanks~.
Is this, the guest of honor always comes last, sort of thing?
This member lineup... how long has it been...
To us, it was a thing of the past, but for others it'll be one of the future...
Fu, what's with the melancholic talk.
It's been awhile since the five of us gathered.
Since the album recording celebrations at the amusement park?
Everyone doing well?
I was in a unit with Fumika-san.
We were well received as Cool and Stylish, it was great.
...Valkyria, wasn't it?
So long as we were well received, then I'm glad.
Fu~n. Well, on that topic, the two of us were also Chu-chu-ing. Right, Kanade-chan?
Saying it like that might cause misunderstandings, in more ways than one.
But, since the 5 of us are gathered again...
It's [Saite Jewel] isn't it?
I'm glad that we could get a job.
...In other words, I'm the only lacking experience...
is that what you were hinting at?
Of course not. Just that...
...Asuka-san. Are you worried?
Of course not. I too am an Idol.
It's not that I haven't had experience in a Unit.
Also... this is an advantage.
Advantage...?
Worried? To worry is just a psychological defense mechanism against the unknown.
However, having had experience in a Unit, you all have that as your strength.
In that case, I just wanted to prove that there was no need to feel worry..
Sure sure.
Well, if anything happens we'll be sure to help.
... Although I might be lacking, I'd like to be of assistance.
We'll be sure to teach you. Fufu~n.
We shall see.
We will teach you, really.
Tch... You sure are full of yourself.
Hey, you two children stop arguing.
We're not children! We're not children!
...hehe.
Ah! Ah, sorry, I didn't mean it that way...
Fufu, c'mon, Fumika is also laughing at both.
Let's stop here ok?
Well'then~, I think it's about time, let's draw lots~.
Draw lots?
What for?
That's the surprise for later~ ♪
In this bag, there're pieces of paper with everyone's names written on them.
I can't get into the mood without knowing what this is being used for.
I feel the same way. Probability is the evil mustn't be trusted.
Ah, alright. I get it already.
It's for deciding who will be the leader.
Since we're working as a Unit?
Wouldn't we need a leader?
... Leader, I see.
So we're not nominating someone to take on the role.
Syuko surprisingly likes stuff like this.
Then, Fumika will mix up the lots and Asuka will draw, how's it sound?
Eh?
Alright.
I don't mind.
Arisu-chan, did you want you draw?
Not really... I'm fine.
...Sigh. Alright alright
Here, go ahead.
Then, I'm mixing it.
This right hand of mine, will it become the devil's right hand, or god's right hand...
At this moment, fate lies within my grasp...
Ku-ku-ku.
When I think of how I'll be the one to determine our future, my mood becomes...
Enough of that, hurry and draw.
... I've drawn. Here.
This is... "Syuko-chan" is written here.
In other words... Syuko-san is our leader, right?
But I wasn't expecting you to draw my name...
Unfortunately for you.
You didn't plan to do your role as leader right?
...fufu, you noticed?
Dishonestly is wrong!
Well~, it might be interesting if Arisu-chan or Asuka-chan were to help me with that, was what I thought...
Let's make this one the rehearsal, how about we draw one more time?
Give it up.
I understand that you wanted to be free from responsibilites.
I mean~, don't they say hard work makes you age faster~?
So Syuko-chan doesn't want to do any hard work.
...the fox spirit doesn't change no matter how long it has lived.
So Syuko-san is a fox?
That's right.
*kon*kon*
So... since we've decided who to be the leader, next would be the Unit name?
Any good ideas?
How about it, Asuka? You're good at stuff like this right?
Hmm...
CAERULA, how's it sound.
It's suitable for us.
Fu~n. Not sure what it means but it's only for this time so, it will work.
Ok?
I have no objections. How about everyone?
Eh, ehh...
... Is it Latin?
The meaning if I remember correctly is... Blue.
I too think it's good.
Surprisingly, we're quick to decide this...
Stuff like this is all about the moment.
Well then, CAERULA, let's go~
Alright. Yes.
Sure. Ok.
- Hallway -
Hmm.. a Leader..
...Is something the matter Syuko-san?
Being a Leader, I didn't expect myself to be taking on the role.
I was thinking that I really messed up.
It's fine isn't it? You'd be able to handle it, Syuko-san.
It's not that you don't have the ability to do it.
Well, being able to and whether I want to are two different things.
Isn't it the same for everyone?
... I too, am not used to standing in front of others.
And here's a comment you wouldn't expect from an idol~
Why are you so averse to being the leader?
I mean, isn't it a pain?
... fu. You're honest.
Well I want to remain carefree~
... Afterall, the work of a leader keeps on increasing.
You have to look after the members, be in correspondence with the Producer,
even the most trivial of matters will add to the burden.
Right~ right~
But... Well, I guess it's about time that I did it for real~
...Meaning?
I'm not really leader material right? It doesn't fit me.
...But I do feel that you have the the ability to lead others.
Like an idol...
no, it's different.
Or perhaps, charisma, is what you meant.
No no. Even being an idol was something I did on a whim.
Managing lessons or venues or the like, doesn't really fit my character~.
You all think so too right?
Ah... I understand.
Yes. I'm the same.
But, all the more so, I feel that I was chosen for this.
This time, I feel like I can no longer make any excuses.
Perhaps there's someone out there who wants to see Syuko give her all.
Is it Producer-san?
Also, maybe the fans? Well, a bunch of people.
I too am interested in Syuko-san being the leader.
Oh? That's rare.
Didn't you say that you weren't interested in others?
No, it's wonderful, being a leader.
That's why, I hope to learn from you what not to do.
Ahaha! You're mean!
Weren't you the one trying to push all the duties onto us?
You're a fine one to talk.
Fufu! Fufu.
....?
The two of you do get along well?
Alright, then let's go for lesson!
We still have to memorise our dance!
Chapter 2 : Exhaust your strength
-Lesson Room-
*sigh* That was harsh.
Well, it's dreadful if you take lessons seriously-.
Talk about self-training...
If we can't dance in certain standard, the trainer won't teach us as well.
*puff* *puff*
I-it can't be helped.
The trainer doesn't have such free time.
That's true-.
The trainers will not always wait for us.
It's also a move that we continue tomorrow.
But we are not in the state to dance well.
Are we still going home?
Hmm...
Is everyone a little bit weak at dancing?
Not good at it... which means, maybe you're right about me being poor.
Relatively or absolutely...
Playing with words does not make you be good at it.
Yeah, fair theory.
However, if we can learn instantly, everyone will have more comfort...
Doing lessons takes time.
That's what Fumika-san said.
This is also fair argument.
But there's no margin.
If that's the case I prefer exceeding one.
Hmm... What should I eat before going home...
What about you two?
Or like Syuko...
it's thoughtful for those who baffles people.
What do you mean by that? I don't get it.
Fair argument is right, but the right one should refuse the foul theory.
If the foul one is rejected, then what about those who spoke that?
They can do nothing but swallow it down.
Is that wrong? Isn't it OK if it's right?
It's good for you to work with more imagination.
You've read mystery novels, right?
Before the detective spoke the name of the suspect, won't you come up with some answers?
What does that suppose to mean?!
Um... The trainer just said that, right?
Before we can make it, we should do lessons by ourselves.
You think we should keep training until we made it?
Of course! I should do lessons until I make it!
Leaving it behind in the middle is a bad habit for lazy people!
*giggles* I have time to spare.
To be honest, I can already dance coarsely.
Asuka-chan, well, maybe you can make it if you practice for 2 to 3 hours.
Self-grading is different from other-grading.
In this case, I suppose that rating from others is right.
Arisu-chan... well, I'm not being rude to you, but you're already out of stamina.
You've practiced since afternoon today.
You might make it if given time, but you will lose efficiency.
So, give up quickly and continue tomorrow, OK?
... That's what I think that hides behind Asuka-chan's words.
No way...!
Seriously, I'm weak at those who read minds by tracing.
Syuko-san, Kanade-san...
But, Arisu-chan's words, is broken down by some fair theories accidently, I think.
Y-You think so?
I didn't think up that far.
Not to mention that it's not even for you, Arisu.
But...
But, just like that.
Such a fantasy that everybody stands on the same line, neither us nor Producer holds it.
Only the fans do that.
People have things suitable for them and not, there's no one that is flawless.
If there are people that can dance skillfully with lessons in several hours,
there must be one that take time to perfectly beat them into their head.
Well, it's just like RPG, however.
In general, late-maturing character is stronger than early-maturing one who levels up easily.
Is that so?
...Yeah, that's right.
OK, you two just step over my dead body!
Then... it's just like I'm the child...!!
Fufu, You are a child. But that's not a bad thing.
We cannot escape from the chain of the number... called age.
Therefore, there's no need to rush.
There are lessons tomorrow and the day after.
Progress is progress.
It is well if we can perform the stage well in the last moment.
But, I'm willing to do that!
What about you two?
Whoa, you want to keep going until done?
I can do that.
Seems like the bottom of my heart hates losing.
Then, we must do it, right?
Even if we fall or what, we must.
*giggles* You're stubborn.
But I don't hate that.
All right, let's begin.
-Several hours later-
*sigh* That made me break a lot of sweat...
But I got some good results.
What about you, Arisu...?
I-I'm... a late-maturing person...
Hmm...
I'll have some dumplings for dinner after all.
Chapter 3: What we crave together
Rest room
Good job, Asuka, Arisu-chan.
How are things going so far?
You could say we're on it,
But it might not be wrong to say we aren't either…...
Such troublesome roundabout way of talking this person has for every little thing.
Without humour and knowledge, philoshy is impossible.
I'm not a philosopher, I'm an idol.
Oh…… You two get along well I see.
No we don't! No we don't
Yup, even down to matching timing
Unfortunately, I'm more interested in Kanade-san than Arisu.
What a coincidence, it's the same for myself.
I'm also more interested in Kanade-san
What's this……
Do I have something that attracts such attention…...
What you have to show is what you bring out of yourself.
Aah… You would really say that here?
It's a favourite, that phrase.
What you have to show…....
Areas you're not influenced by others in, to rephrase it.
By the way…… What do you like about Kanade-san, Arisu?
How she's very mature and adult, and very wise.
There's that too I suppose…
Fufu. aren't those things we all have?
Asuka has a strong self image,
While Arisu-chan is very knowledgable compared to the peers her age.
In the end, people are creatures who seek after the self. They like things that are like themselves.
Is that so?
I…… haven't thought of it that way before.
But that feeling of liking something often clouds people's vision.
If you want to understand something, you have to approach it without preconceptions.
Eh…...
Is that… so...
To understand the person you like
You musn't come to like them. Isn't that so tragedic?
*Ringtone sounds*
Aah, sorry. I need to go over to Fumika's side now.
Do your best, you two.
To think that we aren't supposed to look up to the person we like…..
…… You have such people you look up to?
Kanade-san, Fumika-san, Minami-san, and many more.
Everyone are marvelous. I want to become like them.
…… And so you need to come to understand them, perhaps.
I want to come to know eveyrone more.
…… Including Asuka-san.
Ehh?
Why do you wear hair extensions?
Why do you call yourself 'boku'......? (TL: "Boku"is an expression used only by men and is used by young people referring humbly to themselves)
Eeeh….
Why do you like all these cool looking outfits?
If you were offered a cute type song, what would you do?
Eeeeh…...
Please tell me. For my understanding!
Aah….. It's, you know……
There are many things in the world you don't need to know.
That is something I'll judge after knowing them!
That's why please tell me!
If I can understand them, I'll be able to like Asuka-san's good points!
Eeh…...
Asuka-san is just like me in not liking being treated like a kid, right?
Right!?
That's right but……
Arisu… A person like you…… Is such a troublesome person....
I'll also answer Asuka-san's questions about myself!
So now!
Ah good grief…...
- Corridor -
Fufu
Those two will surely get along well….♪
Chapter 4: A step forward
[Cafe]
*long sigh*
As soon as the lessons begin, you starting with the long sighs.
...I guess you have a lot of troubles because the leader position.
I didn't think this would be so exhausting ...
It will be truly troublesome.
But it is okay.
What do you mean it's okay?
Not at all. It takes time and effort.
is it really troublesome ...?
Both Arisu-chan and Asuka-chan are obedient and distinguishable childrens...
How consenting you are, Fumika...
Those girls are giving me a bunch of troubles.
But, that's why, what makes them great fellows?
I agree.
Because is hard to close people to be on equal terms with each other...
It is the jewel-like. (TL: Fumika refers to the process in which the jewels take forms using the same jewels.)
But think about the one who has to do all the mediating.
You are the leader, so give up.
The recoil after laze all this time finally arrived, right?
Oh no, I'm not lazing around.
Well, it's true that I've avoided a role like a leader or a leader.
So now, Syuko is also having a new experience.
I guess so.
Adjust everyone's schedule, take care of everything in the lesson room,
contact the producer...
there is a lot to do.
But, I'm pretty good to see the whole thing with one step back, I'm used at it.
I'm enjoying it, including with the troublesome hardships.
Oh, It's ringing.
*Sigh*
The little big girls are calling.
I have to go.
Leader, they are counting on you
It's good, isn't? Fufu.
...Please do your best while taking care.
I can not help you directly but I'll cheer you up.
Sure, thank you.
I'm glad that the two of you are completely self-dependent.
Oh my, we might be stubborn
'cause Fumika is a strong girl who needs several attentions.
...I'm not like that
Fufufu, I know.
Well then, I will return to the lesson. I leave the pay here ♪
As expected, leader...
I admire people who watch over others.
Fumika.
I'm a type that can enjoy silence and coffee together,
but if you do not mind, why do not you tell me what you're thinking?
...Ah, excuse me.
I was thinking
About Syuko-san.
No, should say, about everyone shining.
Shine, huh?
Yes.
Arisu and Asuka are having a friendly competition with each other
and Syuko-chan seems to be sparkling through the job of being a leader
That's right.
It seems that they are growing through their work in this unit.
...I think that I must grow too.
Otherwise, i cannot face everyone.
Fumika, so you can also become like this ...
...In other words, do something about that I am not good at.
That I thought.
Well thinking. So?
... Would you mind coming with me?
Think of it as a moment to take a break.
Even if this is an emergency for me, for Kanade-san it should be something she can do in her free time.
Alright.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Even I propose it, I can't stop asking myself whether this was okay.
It's fine, come out.
Show me your face.
...Understood.
...Does it fit me?
By myself I could not make myself look brighter.
But, if a friend ...
as. Kanate-san is together, is possible.
... looks good
It sounds weird, but you looks like an idol, Fumika.
That'... I'll take it as a compliment, Kanade-san.
Fufu.
Chapter 5: Pull the heart together
-At the day of LIVE-
The day of performance is here at a blink of time.
How is the result of you two?
Perfect. There is no problem.
I want to advertise it so bad, I'm looking forward to the performance time.
Me too, I'm looking forward to it.
Such a emotion like this is restless...
but it's good.
You two look confident.
And you look good.
If I don't do anything this time...
I might lose♪
You didn't do nothing, right?
You do trained yourself a lot.
Yeah.
But, I can't beat Arisu-chan and others who just overcame the obstacles and grew,
or Fumika who grew by going forward in her own pace.
Kanade-san...
...Just kidding.
I will never intent to lose to partners in the same unit.
For this time, it's because everyone fought hard.
...Certainly, somehow I felt that I have to work hard.
Why is that?
Isn't it because Arisu-chan work hard?
What?
If the youngest worked that hard,
I think it will be no good if older sisters lose.
That's somehow... complicated.
...It's always complicated in life or in this world.
...Talking about a big subject.
Now then, let's return to the back.
Since the rehearsal is over, we should rest a bit before the performance.
We will not be able to eat until night.
That will be troublesome, for that I'm in growth period.
*giggles*
Well then, let's go.
-In front of anteroom-
I really like this restless atmosphere before LIVE.
Why is that?
It seems like school festival, isn't it?
However, I usually stay away from such things like that.
(Translator: School festival, mostly called cultural festival (文化祭), is an annual open day event at which their students display their artistic achievements.)
Huh...
I think I understand that a little.
I once felt like it's a thing in somewhere afar, but I now feel like it's the thing on me.
That's why...?
You must not do that, Arisu-chan.
Yes, you have to live a school life, such as brightly enjoy the school festival.
OK, um, yes...
Somehow I just got something heavy on my back...
No, that's not so♪
Look, there are some caterings.
We have no time until the end of performance, so let's eat something.
...Speaking of which, we haven't eat anything today.
That's no good! We have to eat properly!
I'll go get it in suitable amount, so wait here!
...Arisu-chan, she is so cute.
I think I might be more liked if I'm such a honest child?
Whatever kind of girl you are.
Huh?
It doesn't matter what kind of girl you are, Kanade-san is still Kanade-san.
You are definitely liked.
At least, I think so.
...You rarely speak out something that can't be soberly thought of.
...Is, that so?
...Seriously.
Um, I got some hamburger and fried shrimp.
What do you two prefer...
...... ......
W,why does the atmosphere become weird all of the sudden?!
*gasp* Did you two have a fight...?!
Please get along with each other!
It's right before performance!
We have to stand together in the first place...!
No, it's misunderstanding. N-no, that's not what you think.
I-I'm calling Syuko-san here!
You two must not say anything further!! MUST NOT!!
Ending: Jeweld in Our Heaart
After the LIVE ended.
Wow! It's over huh.
Fireworks are but fire flowers, disappearing after falling down.
Ooh~ That sounded artistic.
But, That twinkling becomes a light that shines non-stop within the hearts of those that saw it.
Yes. No doubts about that.
This unit might end after this but...
the song will continue after that.
Idols are icons.
Icons eventually get forgotten. But songs are culture.
Thus they continue existing.
Right, they continue to shine, don't they?
Jewel... just like a gem, right?
A beautiful memory, as if it was shining.
And... I'm truly happy to be on the side of those that create it.
That was your aspiration right,
After being on that stage, you get to understand it.
