As expected?
How mean.
Why?
Is it because I'm our leader?!
Fine!
I'm done being an idol!
Mio...
...are you serious?
Mio-chan...
After all,
I...
Mio-chan's on her way, right?
She wouldn't really...
Producer-san.
Hey,
Mio isn't here.
So it seems.
That's it?
U-Um...
I thought I'd head to Mio-chan's place, but...
Please tell us where she lives.
Well...
Please let me handle it.
So... Mio-chan isn't here today...
She must be tired after their mini concert...
...or something.
Is Mio-chan quitting?
I-Is New Generations breaking up, then?
And they only just made their début yesterday.
That's not very professional!
They even made their début before us-
Rin-chan!
Shibuya-san, are you okay?
I-I'm fine.

Do one good deed a day
Nee-chan,
there's some guy who's calling himself Producer downstairs.
Tell him to leave.
Tell him yourself.
I don't want to see you.
Don't come here again.
I just want to talk with you, so please-
I said I don't want to see you.
Leave.
Everyone's waiting for you.
You're not the only one affected-
I know that!
Producer-san!
How's Mio?
Did she chase you away?
Um...
I really think it'd be a good idea if I went to see her.
Please tell us her address.
I can't do that.
Why?
Since Honda-san doesn't want to see anyone right now,
I would like to respect her decision.
Are you sure?{
I have things to do.
Hold on!
Can he really handle it?
Uzuki?
What is it?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm a little tired after everything that happened.
Oh?
No one else is here yet.
Uzuki's not here.
She called me earlier.
She's not feeling well,
so she's taking the day off.
And Mio?
She hasn't contacted me yet.
What's going to happen to us?
If Mio doesn't come anymore...
We'll make adjustments.
Adjustments?
What do you mean?
Well,
I'd like each of you to please just focus on your job.
I won't.
I want to know what's going on.
What are you doing about it?
You better have a good answer.
I'll admit...
...that we've had a disagreement.
Then go fix it!
Why haven't you brought her back?!
Because...
...she hasn't calmed down yet.
Stop running away.
You were the one who told me.
That if I came here, the world around me would change.
When I first took the stage...
When we heard our song after finishing it...
I thought I had finally found it.
The one thing that I could immerse myself in.
But now I've lost it.
Tell me...
What do you mean by a disagreement?
Why haven't you brought Mio back?
Just what are you thinking?
Please forgive me.
I thought I could trust you.
Rin-chan?
What do you mean she left?!
And she didn't respond to us either.
It looks like Uzuki-chan is taking the day off too.
At this rate,
they may actually break up.
This is all because I invited them to come on stage...
What should we do, Onee-chan?!
What did your producer say?
Nothing.
I can't figure out what he's thinking.
Oh!
You're home early.
And those are the details for your next event.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Will do.
Please excuse us.
Um...
How do you feel...
...about your concert the other day?
When we were on stage,
my mind went completely blank.
I sang the best I could.
But...
...when it was over,
everyone cheered for us.
When I look at this as our first step,
I'm really happy.
But...
...now that we're here...
We don't know what to do.
I'm glad your fever broke.
Make sure to get a lot of rest today.

I wonder if Rin-chan's worried.
I'm sure Mio-chan came today.
What is it, Mum?
How are you doing?
Eh?!
Pardon my sudden visit.
I was just dropping off a get-well gift,
but your mother insisted.
U-Um...
I'll leave it here.
Please take care of yourself.
P-Producer-san!
U-Um...
P-Please wait downstairs.
I'll be right out.
I'm sorry.
I caught a cold at such a critical time.
No need to worry.
Is she doing all right as an idol?
Yes.
She was so worried about going out on stage that she was practising whenever she was alone.
And on top of that...
M-Mum!
That's enough!
Please take your time.
Mum's really talkative.
Do you have a cold too, Producer-san?
You don't look well.
No.
I wonder what kind of job we'll do next.
What would you like to do from now on?
I've wanted to put on a concert, and I finally have.
I've also released a CD and been on the radio.
Ah!
I guess being on a TV show would be nice.
Um...
To be honest, about our mini concert,
there is something I kind of regret.
Even though I was finally able to stand on stage,
I wasn't able to smile till the end.
So, next time,
I want to make sure I'm smiling the whole time I'm on stage...
...with Rin-chan and Mio-chan.
If I'm still under the weather tomorrow-
Shimamura
Don't push yourself.
Shimamura
Okay.
Shimamura
Producer-san,
I'm looking forward to working with you tomorrow!
P-Producer!
Please tell us!
What's going to happen to us?
Where's Mio-chan?!
And Rin-chan?!
Did she really quit?
It's the beginning of the end...
It looks like things are getting quite out of hand.
You...
I decided to believe in you and wait until we have our début, but...
...what should we do now?
Don't worry.
New Generations won't be disbanding,
and no one is quitting.
I promise...
I promise to bring them back!
So...
...please give me a little more time.
Hey.
How's it going, everyone?
Well, we're...
...waiting for Producer.
Well, while we're waiting, why don't I tell you a little story.
A story?
That's right.
A long, long time ago,
there was a genuinely honest and straight-forward young man.
He always wanted to guide his Cinderellas towards their goal.
Honestly and earnestly.
However,
even if you are on the right path,
even if you are straight-forward,
sometimes time and circumstance work against you.
In the end,
some of the Cinderellas left him.
Ever since then, he's been rather timid,
and turned into the silent wheel who would take Cinderellas to the castle.
Is that...
...Producer?
Now,
let's give some time to see whether or not the magic will wear off.

Please leave your trash in the proper location.

I was sure he was someone suspicious...
Later.
Please wait.
I told you I'm done.
Honda-san!
Please let me at least talk this over with you.
Are these...?
They're from your début concert a few days ago.
What's this?
I'm not smiling in any of them.
When I said it was as expected,
I didn't mean that it was a failure.
If anything,
I think it was a success.
How so?
There was hardly anyone there.
Look at the next one.
Those are nice smiles.
Indeed,
if you look at it from the number of people there, it wasn't a lot.
However,
those people stopped walking,
and listened to the three of you sing.
They cheered for us.
I'm a horrible person, aren't I?
No.
This is my fa-
All I saw was how many there were.
I see.
It wasn't a failure.
That makes it even worse!
Because I was looking at it the wrong way, I ruined the concert for everyone!
I...
...was running away.
Even though I'm the group leader,
I did everything wrong!
Honda-san,
come back with me.
How am I supposed to face them?
I caused everyone so much trouble...
That's exactly why...
you can't leave things as they are.
I can't keep losing you girls like this.
Become who you want to be!

I'm sorry!
But I don't want it to end like this!
I want to continue being an Idol with you.
Shibuya-san...
It's just like you said,
I was just running away.
I never tried to face you head on.
I let all of you down and hurt you.
I don't like this.
I don't know what exactly an idol is.
I started without any idea,
and got all the way here even though I had no idea.
But,
I don't want things to end like this.
I'm not sure whom to trust when I'm lost.
I've had enough of that!
I'll do my best...
...to earn everyone's trust again.
Shiburin!
Let's once again go find what you can engross yourself in.
I'll be in your care again starting tomorrow.
