Show by Rock!! (SHOW BY ROCK!!)

Hey, look, you guys!

That's Center Tower, it's the symbol of Midi City!

Ah, did you see it, Himeko?

Sorry about that, Howan.

I kinda need to focus on the road right now.

Oh, yeah! I'm sorry.

We're almost there.

Yeah! We finally have the chance to show Midi City

what we're capable of as a band!

And plus, tonight is a... Lunatic Full Moon!

Miss Ruhuyu, I think you're getting too excited.

What? If anything,

you're the one that's being way too freakin' calm!

We'll be training in Shibu Valley.

Doesn't just the mere thought of it

make your heart wanna burst with passion?

Yes, I feel that way, too.

It's the first time we're representing ourselves

away from our home base as Mashumairesh.

Oh, Delmin!

That's too close, Miss Ruhuyu.

There's no reason to be embarrassed, Delmin!

The Midi City Worldwide Love Rock Festival!

I can't wait!

You're looking forward to it, too.

Right, Himeko?

I told you.

I'm trying to focus right now! Okay?

Sorry.

Hey, y'all! This is Chuchu,

and you were just listening to my song: "Lemon and Honey."

Next up, we have some listener mail!

"Dear Chuchu, I always love listening to your show.

You've been so busy lately, doing all sorts of things

like hosting your own radio show and presenting for the news.

But I think your true talent shines through

when you're playing on stage with Plasmagica.

Your star power completely blows me away every time."

How nice of you to say!

"The more you perform with the band,

the more it feels like I get to see the 'real' you."

This is so delicious.

"Please keep up the amazing work.

I'm cheering for you. Your devoted fan, Maple."

Good to see you girls.

Oh!

Chuchu, we were just listening to your radio show!

You have a great voice. It's so soothing!

President.

You've gotta stop sending fan mail to my show.

It's extremely unprofessional you know!

Huh? What?

I have no idea what you're talking about!

You didn't even bother trying to use a fake name either.

I'm sure you're just doing it

to help Chuchu succeed, aren't you?

It's your parental instincts as her manager, pyuru.

No, what?

I still don't know what you're talking about.

I think they've figured it out. You don't need to play dumb.

By the way, President.

Are you sure you aren't going to be running late?

Huh?

I thought you were meeting

with that new band today.

I forgot all about it! I gotta go!

Next up is the Midi City news.

It's been recently reported that members of various bands

have been disappearing en masse throughout the city.

Witnesses have also reported sightings

of an unidentified monster that may be to blame.

The monster is also said to be

shaped like a giant speaker, leading some to believe

this could be a return of the dark monsters.

I wonder what "dark monsters" are.

They sound extra dangerous to me.

Yes, they do.

We'll continue to update this story

as we learn more.

Hey, do you see that car?

It's getting really close!

There's a lot of traffic tonight!

President! You're gonna be late

for the meeting if you don't put the pedal to the metal!

Mm-hm.

I see I have no choice!

Uh, I think they're tailgating us.

It looks like that car is the reason

there's so much traffic.

Mm-hm.

You're doing great. Don't worry about it.

Drive whatever speed you want!

I think I've had just about enough...

...of you!

Uh. Why do you think they suddenly sped up?

So it's a challenge then, huh?

Bold of them to underestimate me.

'Cause I'm about to blow you away.

The big city must be giving Himeko

a Lunatic Revolution!

I'm pretty sure that this is a case!

-- Uh? -- Wha--?

You know what?

That's just what I wanted!

Uh. Are you sure about this?

Ah! Slow down!

Not bad!

I'm impressed.

Ziipe!

Hey, guys?

I don't know what's going on,

but I think there's something enormous chasing us!

This is Lunatic Dangerous!

What do you suppose it could be?

Zii... pe!

Seriously, what was that?

Wait, hang on a second.

Do you guys think that's the monster from the news?

-- Ziipe. -- It's a giant speaker!

President!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Ziipe!

It's going to catch us!

Ziipe!

Talk about a Lunatic Pinch!

Ziipe.

Go! Fast! Er!

--Hi! Me! Ko! Come! On! -- I know,

this freaking car won't go any faster!

Ziipe!

Ah! It's about to attack again!

Yeah, obviously!

I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die,

I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die!

Huh?

Delmin, wait!

Hey, come back! What's she doing?

Wait, stop!

You're gonna get hurt!

I'm going to shoot it down.

Ziipe!

Delmin!

Hang on!

Shubi!

Zii? Ziipe!

Ziipe!

Center Tower!

Oh, boy.

How did that...?

Wait! What happened to the monster?

It vanished!

What'd you think it was?

It's hard to say.

Thank goodness everyone is okay!

I wish I could say the same for the van.

I still don't understand.

What in the world do you think that thing could be?

It looked a lot like a dark monster, at least to me.

Pyuru.

Moa! Oh, no, are you okay?

Pyu.

Pyuru pyu pyuru p-pyu pyuru pyu p-pyu pyuru.

You know, she kind of sounds like

a broken record right now.

By the way, President.

Who exactly were you going to meet?

Oh, it was a favor.

An old friend of mine from Under North Zawa said that a girl band

from the studio he runs was going to be here in town.

I was supposed to meet 'em at the bottom of Center Tower.

Their band is named something funky like, uh, Mashumairesh?

I recognize her.

We finally made it.

Yeah.

Sort of.

I guess they probably won't show up

with it looking like this, huh?

Yeah, and Master's car isn't in great shape either.

Now we really do need to get famous

so we can afford to fix this mess.

You said it.

Hey, what's going on now?

I don't understand. Why are they surrounding us?

Stop right there!

You are under arrest for violation of multiple

traffic laws and wanton destruction of public property!

What?

We're innocent! We didn't do anything wrong!

Like I said! There was this really weird

giant monster that was chasing us!

I swear! It was Lunatic Dangerous!

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean.

It looked exactly like a giant glowing speaker.
