Dream Festival! (ドリフェス!)

Our goal is the Dream Festival that determines our debut!

"Dream Fes" is about to start!

Previously on "Dream Fes!!!!!!

Previously on Dream Fes...

I'm Kanade Amamiya, a second-year in high school.

With the goal of reaching the top in the upcoming show, Dream Fes,

so I can win my official CD debut,

I'm working hard as an idol in the rookie class.

The unit I was put in with Shin-kun and Junya-kun,

Traffic Signal, is super passionate!

We were defeated by KUROFUNE, a unit that appeared out of nowhere.

But we can't stay depressed forever.

Why don't the five of us do it?

We'll form a new unit!

I was always scared that you think

I'm only doing this halfheartedly.

I hoped you would finally accept me one day...

But...

There's never been a time when I didn't accept you.

I've been watching you all the time.

I know you never cut corners in anything you do.

That's why I was worried about you.

I was afraid you'd just keel over like this one day.

Itsuki-kun was hesitant at first,

but when he expressed his feelings to Junya-kun,

the five of us successfully became a unit.

We each may not be strong enough on our own,

but the five of us can do it.

We can pursue who we want to be!

Let's make it come true!

The five of us!

Hmm... That might actually be interesting.

Okay, why not? You five can try it together.

All right!

This is great!

Thank you, sir!

I see. These five, eh?

Oh! I've got it!

I know what your unit name should be!

Huh?!

We already have one!

You do?

Yeah!

DearDream!

I see... And I thought mine was pretty good...

"Go-ing!"

Close call...

That could be good, too!

For real?!

We want to start working as a unit of five right away!

Hmm... It might be difficult to start right away.

Difficult? What do you mean?

We've received a flood of requests from fans to see KUROFUNE perform.

In response to that,

the portion of our concert events that's set aside for new units

is reserved for KUROFUNE at all upcoming events.

What?!

No way...

It's pretty common in this industry.

The world wants KUROFUNE right now.

So, what should we do?

I didn't know KUROFUNE was that popular.

There's not much time until Dream Fes.

It'll hurt if we can't start working right away.

There'll be even more of a gap between us and KUROFUNE.

Isn't there anything we can do?

I guess that's our only choice.

That?

Here We Go!! (Make the wind roar)

Here We Go!! (Run to the future...)

Why does this light that I want to touch but can't

Grasp at my heart so much?

My unstoppable emotions (Speed-Up!) become passion for my dream

We already know our destination, don't we?

we can't talk to each other

is also a strength, and now

together as one

Let's put up the Pleasure Flag

The dazzling drama I want to make with you is about to start

Fly the Special Flag

High into the sky For My Dream!

It'll bring and it'll bring closer to me

All right, (now) let's go beyond the ultimate...

Here We Go!! (Run to the future...Start Dash!!)

DearDream's Nationwide Tour!!!!!

Wow! It's so fast!

You're too loud. Don't get so worked up.

Zoom, zoom, zoom!

But this is the first time the five of us are going out together!

He's right. This is actually the first time we've done this.

This isn't for fun.

Don't forget that this is part of our activities as DearDream.

Yeah, it's our first activity together!

Shopping Mall Concerts Are Hot!

A nationwide tour?!

Yep!

Most big shopping malls these days have a stage in the middle

where they hold events every weekend.

They're valuable venues to any idol just starting out.

We're gonna do a concert tour of malls all around Japan!

Our agency has its own concert venue,

so it usually doesn't use malls.

This was a blind spot.

It's great that there was something we could do!

And I worked this out with the president in person.

It's our schedule.

Niigata Sendai Sapporo Fukuoka Hiroshima Takamatsu Osaka Nagoya Tokyo

From Hokkaido to Kyushu...

That's all around Japan, all right.

Open Time | Start Time | Location | Members Involved

Hey, Jun-kun, was this title your idea?

Nationwide Tour Schedule and Members

Events: mini-concerts, high five events

DearDream Goes Forth! Nationwide Tour

No! It was the president's!

I guess he just wanted to call it something, huh?

And after we've been all over Japan, we'll come back to Tokyo for the final.

This will be our venue!

Last Day Venue

I've seen that on TV!

Some of the biggest celebrities throughout history

have had events there commemorating photobook and CD releases.

It's something of a Mecca.

It's perfect for our tour final.

It'll be the do-or-die moment.

Exactly.

We'll make this nationwide tour a success

and drive the crowd wild at our final stop!

All right!

We can totally do it!

This is the start of our idol activities!

Get your spirits up, everyone!

You don't have to tell us. We're all psyched already.

Yeah!

Okay! Hands in!

Man, it's cramped!

We can't do our cheer in here!

Anyway, let's just do this!

DearDream...

Keep on!

Ack!

Ah!

Whoa!

Ow!

Hi, everyone!

We're DearDream!

What? It's not a superhero show?

Mom, it's just some weird guys!

Thanks for cheering us on!

Let's get started! Our first song will be:

"Glory Story!"

30 Minutes Later...!

Thank you very much!

Th-This is rough...

There.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I saw you on TV. You're so handsome in person!

You're the boys who lost to KUROFUNE, right?

Hardly anyone came to watch.

There's a monster living in the mall...

I wonder what KUROFUNE is doing right now.

Nothing special, I'm sure.

Scream louder! You're not gonna make it on the boat that way!

What is your request, princess?

I only put them in as an opener for their senpai group's concert,

but this is pretty amazing.

It's hard to believe they haven't debuted yet.

It looks like Dream Fes is going to be quite the spectacle this year.

Looks like another bust today.

Oh, but there are eight people here, at least.

Eight, huh...

Everyone!

Hi there!

We are DearDream!

Please enjoy the show today.

Let's get right to it!

"Birdcage ~Birdcage of Desire~!"

How impressive, for such young boys.

Thank you.

I just happened to learn about you boys today.

I'll be rooting for you, okay?

Thank you!

That monster in the mall is scary.

Hey...

Not many people came out today,

but that gave us a chance to talk to some different people instead.

Most of them just happened to hear about the event while shopping or eating.

Just by chance, huh?

Well, it's bound to be different from the regular events our agency holds, right?

The people who come to these malls don't know anything about us.

That means, unlike our usual concerts,

we need to start by getting people like that to stop and notice us, right?

I want more people to find out about us.

About DearDream.

I'd do anything to make that happen.

Obviously!

Yeah. Let's do it.

All right!
