IDOLiSH7 Second BEAT!

On the final day of the inaugural concert,

they plan to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Re:vale's formation.

They'd like us to perform as a surprise guest.

We're thinking of singing "Dis one." as our last song.

You mean Zero's big hit?

You're Osaka Sogo-san of MEZZO", aren't you?

Wait, are you Aya-chan?

Don't you feel like Mitsuki gets in the way, though?

He's not even popular. I wish he'd read the room.

Tenn-nii, it hurts.

Being irreplaceable and being replaceable both hurt...

Mitsuki, did something happen?

No.

You're lying! Your eyes are red.

Look. Your eyes look just like Kinako's.

It's nothing.

I got shampoo in my eyes and have been rubbing them too much because of my hay fever.

But...

Just leave me alone!

Oh...

You don't need to worry about me.

I'm fine.

Mitsuki...

Discover...

Let's go find it together (the future)

There's a glimmer I want to realize with you

Look, it's right here waiting for us (Let's jump!)

Wow...

As though we're weaving together our aspiration (Sing a song)

The melody paints a giant constellation

No matter what tomorrow's like, it won't betray us

We'll change even the harshest environments

A magnificent Dream

The evening calm's Mild

Aim for distant lands! "Be with you!"

Discover...

A map of the stars (if we follow it)

We'll never look down Smile for you!

Night sky

Let's run across it together (to the future)

There's a glimmer I want to realize with you

Look, it's right here waiting for us (Let's jump!)

Wow...

#07 Discord Bleeding Through

Good morning, Nanase-san.

G-Good morning, Iori...

Kinako

Good morning.

Good morning.

Congratulations.

Your new song is your best selling song yet.

I'll tell the president. We should celebrate.

Really? That's great.

Nanase-san...

I'm gonna check the schedule.

I wonder what's wrong with Riku-kun.

What is with him, anyway?!

You surprised me.

I expected this from the start.

I knew we'd be compared.

He even smiled and thanked me...

That traitor.

Iori-kun, are you okay?

I don't know.

Iori-kun...

Who do you think wanted you to sing the most?

Lovely Night With You! Segment Planning

Anyway, Riku-san and Iori-san will be attending this on-location shoot.

What?

Nanase-san's health is in poor condition.

I believe Rokuya-san and I should go instead.

Oh?

What?

Which is it?

Um...

Then let's do the following.

Ichi and Nagi go to the shoot.

MEZZO" is busy, so Mitsu and the guest can...

Mitsu, are you listening?

Yeah, I'm listening. I'm good.

Yamato, Mitsuki is feeling down.

I'll interact with the guest.

Sounds like quite the entanglement.

Mitsu, are you okay with that?

Yeah.

Riku-san and Iori-san, are you all right with that?

Yes.

Don't worry about what people are saying.

We just have to do the best we can with what we've got.

Okay...

Okay.

I'll set a Perfection Gimmick on you, I want you to feel Amazing

I want to show you Another face more grown up than my usual self

Perfection Gimmick, we are Jugglers sparkling in the night

I'll lure you in with a yet unknown and special spell I'll be

Drawing the delight. It's wonder night…

We are IDOLiSH7!

Thank you!

Iorin!

Iori-kun, you're the best!

Iorin was awesome!

I hope he stays the center forever!

I know what you mean!

And their new CD is selling better than ever.

Yeah!

Since IDOLiSH7 is getting popular, it makes sense that their sales are increasing.

Iori's fans are so rude, aren't they?

They want him to keep being the center even though Rikkun's a good singer.

What's with them? Gross.

I bet they're jealous.

They're panicking because Iori-kun is becoming more popular.

I bet that's it.

What? Hey, we can hear you, y'know.

Oh, yeah? We could say the same thing.

What?

What?

Y'know, I've always thought...

Don't fight, guys.

I hate this.

Re:vale to perform cover of Zero's "Dis one." at arena's inaugural concert!

Re:vale announced that they're covering Zero's song.

Zero still has a lot of passionate fans.

I bet the response is insane.

So, what do you think of the cover?

It's awful.

What? Have you always hated Zero that much?

What? Oh, sorry.

Riku-kun and Iori-kun's fans are arguing on social media.

Arguing?

About who's more popular and who's the better center.

Will Silently Follow Iori Fans @ IDOLiSH7-san, Please keep Iori-kun as the center forever 。。。 @ IDOLiSH7-san, Iori is a better center than Riku

Some fans were arguing after our concert the other day.

Ainana 7 Oshi @ IDOLiSH7-san, Iori is just subbing in Hoping for Center Riku @ IDOLiSH7-san, Riku, come back

And perhaps because of that, Ichi and Riku have been acting strange, too.

I see.

What is it? Have people been saying stuff about you, too?

No.

I'm fairly innocuous, so I don't get a lot of hate.

But it reminded me of the past.

The past?

Of my uncle.

Whenever his name came up among family, he was disavowed.

Osaka Family

Ainana 7 Oshi @ IDOLiSH7-san, Iori is just subbing in Hoping for Center Riku @ IDOLiSH7-san, Riku, come back Ai7 Cheer Squad @ IDOLiSH7-san, Could you guys not ruin the official account's replies... Ioriii! @ IDOLiSH7-san, Don't forget that their single is selling well because of Iori-kun

Someone I cared about was rejected,

and despite my best efforts, I couldn't defend him.

Remembering my past was a little painful.

I wish there were something I could do for Riku-kun and Iori-kun.

It'll be okay.

You should work on deepening your friendship with your partner.

It's plenty deep already.

I think we've reached our max.

You make it sound like you've figured it all out.

It's true. We're complete opposites.

I don't think there's anything we can do about it at this point.

The other day, after recording...

That girl...

Oh! Never mind. It's nothing.

Mitsuki-san has been down recently, too.

Mitsu's always the guy who lights up the group at times like these.

Even Nagi the optimist seems down because he's worried about him.

I wonder what happened.

He's gotten more jobs on variety shows and even recognition from older personalities.

Mitsu wants recognition from our fans, not from people in the industry.

I'm sure the fans recognize him.

I'm not.

Unlike with singing and dancing, it's hard to convey MC skills.

Huh?

An MC is like a spotlight.

They keep the light on guys who look good and off guys who look tired.

While making snap decisions,

they manage the conversation so everyone gets equal time in the light.

It's an incredible job.

I could never do it.

It is amazing.

But when you look at the stage, it's not the spotlight that draws your attention.

It's the people in the spotlight.

Fans that want to see their favorite in the light are bound to complain.

Yamato-san, you should tell this to Mitsuki-san.

I'm sure it would cheer him up.

About that...

Is there a problem?

He's way prouder than we think.

Proud?

So is Tama. You should be careful.

What about you?

I vary a lot depending on the day.

That's the hardest type to deal with.

There you are.

So-chan, the manager's calling you.

Thanks.

Excuse me, Yamato-san.

Later.

By the way, Tamaki-kun, could you show me a picture of your sister if you've got one?

Sorry. I don't have one.

If I did, I'd have already shown you.

I see. Thank you.

Sure.

Hey, Tama.

Let's get ramen.
