Smile Down the Runway (ランウェイで笑って)

There's no time. Do a final check!

Did you take out the marking pins from this?

Bring #5 over here!

How is that? Is it too tight?

No, it's fine.

Thank you very much.

Sorry for all the adjustments.

Now please go to the makeup room, Miss Sudo.

Finalists, please gather in the staging area for the finalized show schedule.

I have to go, too.

All right, I better go now.

Um...

Huh?

Um... These pants...

...they're wonderful!

Thank you very much.

Today's the day.

Why are you so desperate?

There's someone I want to crush.

Huh?

Ah!

M-Mister...

Oh...

Miss Kokoro, let's participate in the Geika Festival's fashion show!

I won't lose.

Me neither.

"Smile Down the Runway"

"Episode 10: Must Not Lose" I'll announce the order based off the raffle from earlier.

Be aware of your position and act according to the timetable.

I'll post the details here.

It's so big!

It's amazing, isn't it?

The Geika Festival fashion show will start momentarily.

Please welcome today's panel of judges.

Japan's most popular top model, Miss Sara.

The designer behind the popular young adult clothing brand, Quintiz, Mr. Kazuya Suo.

Chief editor of fashion magazine, Hoen, Ms. Kinu Kamii.

And finally, the Geika Fashion School principal, Ms. Shoko Takaoka.

With this all-star lineup of judges, the show will now kick off!

Well, shall we switch seats?

No way. I'm in no position to critique others.

If you're not, then I'm a huge embarrassment sitting here, Ms. Ayano.

This is more like a class visitation for me anyways.

I'll refrain from making smart remarks today.

Now, I wonder if there's anyone interesting today.

It started!

Hmph.

You!

Oh.

You're not wearing your usual Lale Fauns today.

Please!

It's none of your business.

We might as well watch the show together.

What?! No way.

You're so harsh towards the young people, but you can't even make an entrance?

How embarrassing.

I'll kill you...

Wow.

There's a lot of people around Ikuto's age who can make amazing clothes...

It's true.

The audience is full of stylish people, too.

This is Geika, after all.

Mother, you should've dressed up more too.

I'm good just like this.

Is it Iku's turn yet?

It'll be his turn soon, so be a good girl, okay?

I'm... going to run to the restroom.

Are you okay?

It's just... I'm getting nervous!

Don't worry! I bet Ikuto's more relaxed than you are.

My stomach hurts...

I'm so nervous...!

I have to hurry back for the final check.

Huh?

#7! The double woven obi and accessories are out of balance.

Adjust its position and make it work on the model.

Hey, where's the silk thread?

We just ran out. Let's use a safety pin--

It's okay!

Use polyester thread instead! Then you'll just need to adjust the size.

We still have time.

My turn is right before yours.

I'm going to steal the audience and crush you!

I guess Toh Ayano is the most noteworthy designer here.

He might be. Especially since he's the grandchild of the great Ms. Mai Ayano.

What's taking Honoka so long?

I'm sure she'll be back any minute.

What? Are you getting nervous, too, Aoi?

Nervous? Me?

Well...

I like it. It's edgy.

Using leather to create Japanese clothes.

Fitter! When the model comes back, get them changed in 30 seconds.

--That day... Ikuto Tsumura completely ruined Hajime Yanagida's fashion show.

--Is she okay? She's one of Mr. Yanagida's staff. --That day... Ikuto Tsumura completely ruined Hajime Yanagida's fashion show.

Wait... This can't be good.

Is there anyone who can sew in her place?

No, there's no one available.

What? There's no replacement?

Does anyone know how to sew?

I'll do it.

The original design of that dress was more elegant and delicate.

But by adjusting it to fit that short model, the dress became flashy.

But... at that moment...

...I didn't raise my hand.

Why do I despise Ikuto Tsumura?

Because he ruined Mr. Hajime's show?

No.

Because he completely departed from Mr. Hajime's concept?

No.

That time... when I heard the audience's applause...

...I was swept away by it.

This is the last one!

Go!

I thought I lost...

Why do I despise Ikuto Tsumura? It's because...

...I hate to lose.

Ah...

My, what flames of passion.

They made good use of the billowing skirt to achieve a good mix of kimono and dress.

What a beautiful silhouette.

If I don't give any praise, it will come back to me.

Using an unforgiving material like leather to make a kimono...

Her knowledge and technique to achieve this look...

It's all impressive, Kaoru.

I want to wear that second kimono to Cannes.

A bit too influenced by that designer... Yanagida, was it?

But anyway...

The audience is excited, that should be taken into account.

E-Excuse me.

Sorry, I wasn't being careful either.

Come on, let's go to the front.

Why do I have to go with you?

I was asked to record the next show,

since they won't be able to.

Try raising your arm up a little.

Yup, it's good.

Kanami, what time is it right now?

It's almost 2:50 pm.

Okay.

Now it's finally time for Ikuto's show.

It's finally... my turn!

I never even considered before now

that there are good clothes and bad clothes...

I'm about to be evaluated based on that idea.

A lot has happened until this moment... It wasn't all just fun.

My dream is to become a fashion designer.

Runway, here I come!

Smile.

This is it, everyone!

We got this!

I'm going to enjoy it... Showing my collection to everyone!

All right everyone, it's show time!

Smile Down the Runway.

Oh? She's back.

You're a weirdo, Honoka.

So emotional.

I'm fine now. Stop being annoying.
