Dream Festival! (ドリフェス!)

Our goal is the Dream Festival that determines our debut!

"Dream Fes" is about to start!

The Door to Becoming Idols!!!!!

The biggest event sponsored by the major agency D-Four Production,

Dream Festival, just began a moment ago!

Approximately 80,000 fans have packed the Moonrise Stadium,

and top idols are giving them passionate performances!

We are not realists!

We are In-Show-Ha (impressionists)!

The rookie-class idols will compete once again this year on the Dream Fes stage!

The rookie stage, where only the top unit will win their CD debut,

is about to begin!

Man, he's not answering!

Ah, look!

He left his phone here!

We can't find him anywhere!

None of the staff have seen him, either.

Where the heck did he go, right before the concert?!

Kanade!

26 Hours Ago!

Whoa... It's huge.

This place will be packed by this time tomorrow.

It's so exciting. My heart's pounding!

I hope we can put on the ultimate show and win our CD debut.

Not just ultimate. We'll go beyond the ultimate.

If we do, we might just get to make our CD debut two or three times!

You only get one debut.

What? You chickening out?

Junya-kun...

There'll probably be a lot of fans

supporting Sankishi and In-Show-Ha tomorrow.

I want those people to enjoy our show and leave with a smile, too.

Of course they will!

That's it for DearDream's rehearsal!

Thank you very much!

KUROFUNE...

Okay, KUROFUNE, you're up next!

Let's both do our best.

Keigo.

Let's both do our best, too.

We'll be the winners tomorrow.

It's just about time.

Yes.

The door to becoming idols only opens to a select few.

Who will be the next idols after us?

I'm home.

Whoa, holy... What is that?!

This is the best way to show support, right?

But it's huge!

Other people's Dorika will get stuck in it!

Good point.

So tomorrow's the day, huh, Kanade?

Let me ask you one thing.

Are idols

popular?

What?!

That's all you wanted to say?

You could've said something really cool...

Gotta be this one.

No way. Mikami-san should wear this one.

You don't know the first thing about Mikami-san.

Huh?!

Anyway, did you decide which Dorika to give me tomorrow?

Oh, yeah. Here.

One of these two would be fine for you.

Wha... Are you serious?

Onii-chan, good luck tomorrow!

Thanks.

DeaDre is sure to win!

KUROFUNE isn't storming the shore. They're just coming back home!

Mom and I will send you lots of cheers, okay?

Goodnight!

Thanks. Goodnight.

I'm home.

Huh? Yuzu, you're going to bed already?

I have to get up early. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

For Chizu A little fighting spirit from me to you!! Do your best at Dream Fes!!!!

Thanks!

It holds all our feelings.

Let's go beyond the ultimate. All five of us.

If you wanted to bask here, you should've called me.

Man, it's huge, isn't it?

I can't even see the audience seating.

But I think I'll hear the cheers of our princesses.

I can't believe you're keeping up that character.

Same to you.

I can't believe you can pursue a song so far.

There's someone you want to hear it, isn't there?

I can tell by how powerfully you sing.

You're singing for someone, somewhere.

Somewhere, huh?

I wonder where that is.

And now, at last, Dream Fes is beginning!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Dream Fes stage!

It's finally time.

Yeah!

Huh? Where's Kana-chan?

Still getting his makeup done.

I'm late...

We can't find Amamiya-kun anywhere!

What?!

I was told he left the makeup room a while ago...

But the rookie stage is about to start!

Maybe he went back to the green room for something he forgot?

We are not realists!

We are In-Show-Ha!

He's not in the green room... Kana-chan is gone!

Man, he's not answering!

Ah, look!

He left his phone here!

We can't find him anywhere!

None of the staff have seen him, either.

Where the heck did he go, right before the concert?!

Kanade!

The time has come at last!

The rookie stage of Dream Fes, where a CD debut is on the line, will now begin!

Only the top unit will win their CD debut.

Which unit will emerge victorious this year?

I won't let it end as a dream.

The wind is blowing our way.

Let's go! Time to set sail!

Right!

Up first is a unit that, despite being in the rookie class,

has gained fans with shocking momentum.

And they are...

KUROFUNE!

We're storming the shore! You guys ready?!

We wrote a song just for this day, my princesses.

Listen to this! "Arrival -KUROFUNE Sail Away-!"

Dorika time!

Catch your cheers.

I'm gonna open up all of you!

Catch your cheers.

For you, I'll ascend to the throne.

New Sailing Series, complete.

Here's an echo to wake you up, 4 You

Break down ordinary in the highest of spirits

And find true pleasure as yet unknown

Lay the path, "KUROFUNE"!

Just dreaming isn't enough, is it?

A strong wind is already blowing

Even if you chase after formless aspirations

If you never reach it, there's no point

Go after something you want so bad, you don't mind getting hurt

Show me what you look like pursuing it

You won't get it just by wishing for it

So you just have to shout out

I'll take you with me, sailing to the future!!

You've realized now that you were waiting for this moment, right?

Just now, I can open your heart!

Turn impulses into action

And fantasy into reality... cover it all up, PAINT IT BLACK!

Man, it's already started!

They're really pumped for KUROFUNE...

We have to go on standby soon.

Let's go wait in the wings. He might already be there.

Yeah.

I'm here to interview the unit that just finished, KUROFUNE.

What's wrong?

L-L-L-Look!

How did you feel about today's performance?

There he is!

I wonder if your mom's around here...

Hey, can you tell me your name now?

Guess not...

Sho... Ueyama...

Huh?

Sho Ueyama!

Oh, Sho Ueyama-kun?

Uh-huh.

Sho-kun, do you know your seat number?

Or your mom's cell phone number?

Kanade-kun!

Guys...

We'll help you.

You're looking for his guardian, right?

How did you know?

An idol's gotta know where the cameras are.

It seems like he wandered into the personnel-only corridors.

Let's all split up and look for his mom.

Thanks, guys!

Hey, isn't he from DearDream?

Huh?

He is!

What's he doing down here?

That was Beat Style's performance!

Find her?

No.

You?

No luck.

And we're out of time.

If we're late to the stage, we don't deserve to be idols.

We'll have to turn him over to the staff.

Don't make that face. It's gonna be just fine.

Really?

Yep.

I promise I'll take you to your mom.

Kanade...

So don't cry.
