"I want you three to make a video."
What kind of video?
"A PR video for the Cinderella project.
From now on, you three are gonna make your world debut!"
Um, he didn't say that.
Never mind!
You're supposed to get into this kind of thing.
And so, this is the first PR clip!
Let's start by paying unannounced visits to our fellow idols!
Check out the passionate spirit of future shining idols!
Shimamu!
Shouldn't you make some kind of comment?
Um... So this is the Cinderella Project room.
Should we film in the room, too?
Somebody's here already!
Morning...
The first idol is Miku-nyan!
What are you filming?
We caught you off guard, Miku-nyan!
This is the PR footage the producer told us to get.
She became a cat.
Do you always have cat ears?
Of course!
I come prepared so I can work at any time-nya!
You're serious?
To the person who's watching this,
Miku Maekawa always welcomes work-nya.
I'll work hard like a cat, so please give me your support-nyan.
Okay, that's good.
I guess this is what we're supposed to be doing.
How much do we need for each person?
That's all?
That wasn't nearly enough for me to show my charm!
The camera was still on.
I've got a lesson to go to so I can perform well for you.
Here we are in the lesson area!
Without any further ado, let's go!
How was that? I did it, right?
Not bad!
I think you make points at a time like this with upturned eyes.
Upturned eyes...
Like this?
Also, with a pose like this, for example.
W-What are you doing-nya?
Stop the camera-nya!
O-Okay.
Rika-chan! What are you teaching Miria-chan?
I think it would go over well...
Forget it-nya!
A camera! Are you filming?!
I was wondering about that, too.
Listen to me-nya!
We're making a PR video.
This is filming day?
Hey, what I should do for the PR video?
You don't know?
I'll give you an example.
I can do that!
Nice!
- I don't think that's what we want. - Why not?!
That's too soon for children-nya!
Instead of that, a cute cat pose!
That's kind of childish.
Isn't this better?
Lion. Roar!
You're stronger than a cat-nya.
Do you want to sell that?
I'm the only cat around here-nya!
Then...
...I'm like a big sister!
Okay, start!
Throbbing heart escalates to no end,
- love mode as fizzy as cider... - Great! I wanna try!
That's Mika-chan's song, right?
I'm gonna do the next one.
- How was that? - Ta-daa!
Hey, you're ruining my moment!
I can dance too, so put me in lots of concerts!
I wanna have a concert, too!
I can't film you when you're that close!
Um, let's start with Rika-chan.
3... 2... 1!
I'm Rika Jougasaki!
My dream is to be like my big sister.
Also, I like collecting stickers and I'm good at finding unusual insects.
Hello! I'm Miria Akagi!
I like dancing, wearing cute costumes, and, um...
I wanna do all kinds of things!
Sheesh! She said one at a time!
Both of you, cut it out!
- I still have more to say! - Me too! Me too!
That's dangerous, turn off the camera.
One at a time!
Line up over there!
Whew, young people are amazing.
Kid power is a scary thing.
Mio, you sound like an old person.
Where shall we go next?
Let's go somewhere we haven't been.
H-Help me...
I think Anzu-chan is up next...
Whoa.
A giant monster?
Oh, it's just Kirarin!
Y-You surprised me.
Sorry! We're helping make a movie and I'm carrying Anzu-chan there.
I said I don't want to work...
Don't be like that! Work is important.
There's all kinds of work here, huh?
Do you wanna try it, Rin-chan?
Rin-chan in a monster suit...
I can't imagine it!
She was just asking!
I'm sure you'd be cute!
I'm surprised anybody would agree to wear that.
It's a lot of fun!
Giant monsters are cute!
Forget cute. I'd rather have work that earns you royalties!
Let's do happy-happy work together!
Say, how about expressing those thoughts on camera?
Can I start?
Okay!
I want to make everybody happy-happy!
So please give me a lot of work!
Now you, Anzu-chan!
Huh?
What the...? Anzu-chan!
You can't make me work!
Wait, Anzu-chan!
Kirari giant monster dash!
Whoa...
We didn't get Anzu-chan...
We can film her later.
Well, should we think of our next idea?
Are you hungry?
Then why don't we take a break at the cafe?
I'm Mimura Kanako.
Right now, Chieri-chan and I are having tea.
Today's lunch... ta-daa.
My hobby is making sweets, so I baked up some cookies.
They smell great!
Let me have one!
Here.
Delicious!
There's tea, too.
Thanks! You're so thoughtful!
Have a muffin, too.
Thank you!
T-Thank you.
It's so peaceful...
Pure bliss...
Delicious...
It's especially tasty when we all eat together, right?
Isn't it hard making sweets?
Not at all. I enjoy it and it gives me the chance to chat with everyone.
I know what you mean! It is fun, isn't it?
Hey...
Aren't we forgetting what we came here for?
I didn't forget!
I-I'm sorry!
Um, go ahead, Chieri-chan!
U-Um... I'm Chieri... Ogata.
I'm a second-year high school... student.
She prepared notes.
Chieri-chan!
Look right at the camera!
O-Okay.
Wait!
Wait a second!
I lost my notes...
Chieri-chan, at a time like this, sweets will cheer you up.
Right?
Clovers.
Maybe I'll get lucky.
I caught your beautiful smile, Chieri-chan.
She was filming.
All right...
Come to think of it...
Ranko-chan wanted me to give this to you.
A message card?
What's it say?
"When the angel's voice can be heard,
I'll be waiting in front of the sacred fountain.
As an offering to me,
bring a device that catches souls.
Kanzaki Ranko".
What does "when the angels' voices can be heard" mean?
"Sacred fountain" is a place, right?
And what was that about a device?
This message is full of riddles.
I found our next target!
Mio-chan? What about Ranko-chan's note?
Later for that!
Unannounced interview!
I'm Minami Nitta and I'm a college student.
It would be a pleasure to work for you.
My name is Anastasia.
You're not satisfied?
They were both lovely...
...but I wanted them to act more surprised, like, "What the...?"
Um... Sorry?
What's that?
This? It's my lacrosse racket.
I've got an idea!
Minami! Nitta! I'm a university student!
- It's a pleasure to work for you! - That's the stuff!
I'm calling it "air lacrosse"!
Say, is this really PR?
Of course!
With this, the project will skyrocket to popularity, no two ways about it!
Then I'm ready!
Anya-chan, too! Shake your pom-poms!
I play lacrosse at school!
And I love challenging myself with new things!
That's great!
Now go ahead, Anya-chan!
I'm Anastasia.
Papa is Russian and Mama is Japanese.
I like looking at the stars.
Okay!
Both of you had a great visual look!
A-All of those people...
Minami, are you okay?
Y-Yeah.
But I didn't think I'd be doing something like this...
You looked really cool!
Yes. Idols can do many things.
They are very fantastic.
That's right. I think so, too.
You all worked very hard for that concert.
And so I can work very hard to be an idol.
That...
Minamin, can we ask your advice?
It is now 5:00.
Time for all good children to come home.
Be careful of cars on the way home.
You came...
Minamin was right!
It is a fountain.
And that's the "angel's voice"?
Guided by fate, I set foot in this world.
My name is Kanzaki Ranko.
As a chosen idol, the final curtain...
W-Wait a minute!
I'm sorry!
Um, about "a device that catches souls"...
Is this okay?
And this, I don't think it's what you were looking for, but...
You already have the device.
Maybe you mean the camera?
Indeed! Now, confine my soul!
O-Okay...
At twilight, with crimson eyes, I worry for this world.
The time has come.
Now, let's bring about the end of this world togeth...
Cut, cut!
Ranran, you use hard words!
R-Ranran?!
You'll have to explain it all to me later!
Saying my name in an unfamiliar way...
You are a daring woman.
Let us end this evening's revelry here.
It is time to evolve yet again!
Be swallowed by darkness!
We put in a full day!
Shimamu, catch!
Let's take a little break.
Um, who do we still have to film?
Riina and Anzu, right?
There's Riina-chan!
Yeah, but it looks like she's listening to music.
Maybe she doesn't want to be disturbed.
Should we get her later?
That's it.
That was great rock.
Yeah, it's gotta be rock.
Riina-chan!
We're making a PR video!
I remember hearing about that.
What were you doing, Riina-chan?
Without meaning to, I lost myself in rock music.
I guess that's the rock idol saga.
Huh...
That's cool!
Well, once I make my debut, I'm gonna be a star, so this video is a treasure.
That's a bold statement.
I aim to be a cool rock idol.
With sold-out concerts at the Budokan.
My concerts will be legendary!
Well, that's the idea...
So it might be a good idea to keep an eye on me.
Can you recommend a song?
Y-You don't really ask someone about rock.
That's right! If you think it's rock, it's rock!
What is it?
Anzu-chan! Jeez!
Where are you?
Miria-chan helped me with the movie shoot instead.
It was fun!
You still haven't found her?
I mean...
Anzu-chan is the last person we need to film.
If we don't find her fast, we won't be done today.
All right! Since it's gone this far...
The ultimate weapon!
Super happy happy candy shower!
Candy!
You were here the whole time!
An-zu-chan!
Captured!
S-Shoot!
Let's try this one more time, for PR.
I don't wanna work...
Just try!
Easy for you to say...
I want eight days off a week.
The shop is closed for today.
That won't do for PR, right?
If you make trouble, you're gonna get a scolding.
Everyone wants to see you, Anzu-chan.
Well, I did take the candy...
Thank you!
Then we'll finally have everyone.
I think we'll be done.
But since you're gonna film me, I should dress fancy.
After all, I am an idol.
I'll change, so leave me alone a minute.
Oh, you're so bashful!
Why not use the reception room?
Never mind.
Okay, then we'll wait for you out...
You fell for it!
I'm occupying this room now!
And I'm not setting foot outside of it!
- Anzu-chan? - Oh, no! Please let us film you!
Are we playing hide-and-seek?
Maybe we should borrow the key...
Anzu, I have more yummy candy!
What are you all doing?
We can't get in?
O-Oh, no-nya!
My bag's in there-nya!
- I can't go home without it-nya! - N-Neither can I...
Anzu-chan, please come out!
Stop this useless resistance and quietly surrender!
I wonder if we will be able to finish this today.
And action!
Cin...
...der...
...ella!
Pro...
...ject.
When...
...you...
...think...
...of...
...idols...
...please...
...think...
...of...
...us!
We did it!
We finished!
Good work.
Huh? What about us?
W-What should we do?
We need to get that back!
We totally forgot about ourselves!
Producer-san, the chief wants to talk to you.
Good job filming the PR video.
Henceforth... we're going to use it.
I have an announcement for all of you today.
M-Maybe a job-nya?!
That's great!
Hey, it's for me, right?
No-nya! It's gotta be for me-nya!
Maybe my rock is getting recognition already.
But isn't that early, since we just finished?
That's true.
Then what is the announcement?
First, Minami Nitta-san and Anastasia-san, you two.
Then Uzuki Shimamura-san...
Y-Yes!
...Rin Shibuya-san...
...and Mio Honda-san, you three.
As units for this project,
you're going to make your CD debut.
CD...
...debut?
