The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls: U149

Yes, yes. Yes.

We'll discuss that during today's meeting.

Yes. Yes. Put that on my schedule.

Morning.

Morning!

Morning!

Okay, I'll call you back.

Oh, and I'll check my inbox, too.

The weather in Eastern Japan today will be changing constantly...

Oh, Arisu. I might be coming home early today.

Really?

Yup! Bye!

Bye!

...but the rain shouldn't last long. Now, in national weather...

We'll be seeing a high-pressure system developing across western Japan,

and mostly clear skies.

Many regions will be seeing temperatures above 30 degrees...

Thank you for the meal.

It's hot...

Summer break!

Hooray!

Episode 1 When Can't You See Your Own Face in the Mirror?

Arisu! What are you doing for summer break?

I keep telling you to call me "Tachibana"...

Get this! My mom says she won't buy me a phone unless I get into my target school!

What? That's not fair!

I don't want to study!

Tachibana's lucky. She gets good grades, so her parents don't complain at all, right?

That's not true.

No... um... Bye!

She ran away!

Tachibana-san, do you have idol work today?

Y-Yes, that's the plan for today...

I have a singing job...

What? That's amazing!

The Third Entertainment Division...

I wish we'd get more notice about these things, at least.

We had an awful time at the concert late last year

after the president got one of their weird ideas.

That's right.

This is bad... They're still in elementary school!

The youngest is the same age as my daughter.

That's right.

What do we do about finding a producer?

You figure it out!

I don't want to get involved.

Huh...? No, but, sir...

The President probably figures it'll be easier to deal with somebody who's young.

Next, I've got a meeting in Akasaka...

Gotta hurry!

Yes?

Um, hi.

What are you doing now?

I'm on my way to my next meeting.

You are, huh?

So, um, how long have you been with our company?

Three years. Why?

Wow, it's been that long already, huh?

Want to be a producer?

We've got a project that needs a producer,

and the company president is directly involved...

I'll do it!

Please let me do it!

You'll take the job?

Okay, I'll set up a meeting next week.

Okay! Thank you!

Sorry!

missing-chan

I got promoted to producer!!

Producer!

I do feel kind of bad about this...

I hear ya. But it's what the bosses want...

Good morning.

Good morning.

Arisu-chan!

Make sure you talk this over with your parents.

Okay. Thank you.

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three, four!

Focus on what your fingers are doing!

Okay!

... was very good. Good night.

Thank you! Sorry it never works out. Good night!

Someone at work asked me to join a unit called the Third Entertainment Division. It's supposed to be the company president's idea. I know I'm busy with studying for exams, but I'm really thinking about accepting the offer.

I'm really happy for you, Tachibana-san.

A project from the company president himself!

Yes. Now I can really be an idol.

You've been working really hard.

I've decided I'll do anything I can that will make a difference.

I don't want people looking down on me because I'm a kid.

Tachibana-san, you're sometimes more of a grown-up than I am.

I'm sure your parents must be really level-headed people.

Yes! My mother and father are both really cool!

I hope they're happy you were chosen.

Yes, thank you!

Someone at work asked me to join a unit called the Third Entertainment Division. It's supposed to be the company president's idea. I know I'm busy with studying for exams, but I'm really thinking about accepting the offer.

I wonder what they're like.

Mifune-san? Nah, no way...

My dream is to do a solo live concert at the Dome!

Hey!

Section Chief! Hello there.

How's the new job?

I'm so excited!

This is where it all begins!

Okay, let's go celebrate your promotion.

We drink till dawn!

And it's on me!

Thank you, sir!

I'm home...

I'm home! Sorry I'm late!

I'll make dinner right away!

Welcome home, Mother.

Did you see my message?

I sure did. The Third Entertainment Division, was it?

Like I've always said,

you can do what you want as long as it doesn't interfere with your studies.

Yeah, thanks.

Is something wrong?

No. I ate the meal in the fridge, so I'm going to bed.

Goodnight.

I'm home...

Is it just me, or is Arisu avoiding us lately?

Is she?

Yeah, that's what it feels like...

She's probably just got something on her mind.

I wonder if that's all it is...

Parental Consent Form

I ____ (Parent or Guardian) permit _____ (name) to participate

Okay! Let's go!

Nice catch!

Next is my turn.

Yuuki-san, that's dangerous.

That's right.

You're an idol. Act like one.

There's nothing to do, though!

We can't do anything until the producer gets here.

I wonder what our new producer's like!

He'll be super-cool, of course, just like Dad!

I'm sure he's an absolute gentleman!

I hope he's like a prince!

I hope he's really nice!

What do you think he'll be like, Arisu?

Well... we've been kept waiting a long time,

so I certainly hope he's a grown-up who can do his job.

And... my name is Tachibana. Don't call me by my first name.

Sorry.

It's such a pretty name, too!

You don't want to be friends with us?

Th-That's not it...

But, um... it's kind of childish...

I just like being called by my last name better.

I really love the name Arisu!

Okay, I'll make an exception for you...

Really? That makes me so happy!
