02:33Right
02:35Yeah, I guess that's true
02:37By the way, may wasn't there something you wanted to ask of us?
02:41It's just that I was practicing this DTM thing, but now I feel like I'm getting stuck
02:46Um, so the thing is I want to create a track
02:50But I can't find where the role is
02:54Do you get it? That was totally some other weird language. That's it. Then. Yes, we gotta get some sort of interpreter
03:07I got an error
03:09It uh, it says something about an audio driver. You think maybe there's a screw loose somewhere
03:20Hey Kiwi
03:22If it's okay
03:24Could you maybe actually come here for a bit? I mean, I haven't even gotten to thank you in person for all your help
03:32You see, um, Kiwi is pretty busy and I don't want to impose, you know
03:45What I'll go if we do it at Kano's place
03:50Huh?
03:53Seriously having to tour CD shops in this day and age
03:56Isn't that way too analog remote work is the only way to go these days this campaign though was miss Yukimura's idea
04:04What are you being serious? Then? There's probably some unfathomable strategy that I couldn't possibly even hope to understand
04:12Amazing
04:15Thank you, sir, we put our hearts into these autographs a shop owner
04:20I'll make sure we push to promote these for the release date. Thank you so much
04:25Oh, and if you wouldn't mind that too
04:31That's certainly impressive, but I'm not sure we have a place to put it. Oh
04:38It's miss Yuki
04:42Right, no, actually he says he might not have a place to put it. Oh, well, we'll make space somewhere
04:58It's nothing really great I just live in a rundown apartment with my big sister
05:05Well, she's hardly ever home because of work oh here she comes
05:13Nice to meet you. I'm Kano Yamanouchi
05:16I make him a nuke Takanashi. Hey, I'm Kiwi. What is it?
05:25That hair color is amazing, huh? Yeah, it's lovely some pop idols have their hair like that these days
05:35Complimenting me won't get you anything
05:38What's that mean? You seem pretty cool. Yeah
05:42you too
05:43So it's Tata Kita pretty lax about their dress code. I had this image of black hair and conservative. Well
05:54Sorry, that was a lie
06:01All that about being popular and student council president was just tough talk I'm not going to school right now
06:08What then what we heard from miss Mahiru was all just uh, I made it all up sorry
06:16I see
06:19Then we're the same
06:21Huh? I don't go all that much either to school though
06:26Mine has a lot of students that are currently working in showbiz. So it's not that unusual really. Oh
06:33Okay
06:35Basically what you're telling me is jelly is really well-balanced with two normal high school girls and two exceptionally rebellious girls avoiding school
06:44All right, not really sure I'd call that well-balanced
06:50Anyway in all seriousness, though
06:54They both seem pretty nice don't you think so?
06:59Well, this beats getting hit on at least
07:02Oh
07:04Hey, can we stop by here for a second
07:08Tiramisu cups sounds delicious
07:11There's a long line though. Yeah, you coach. He featured it the other day. That's the power of
07:17350,000 followers. Sorry. We're not here to enjoy ourselves today. Remember that's true, though. They do look tasty
07:28Right, that's too bad
07:32Amazing once again, you can AP wins that life. Am I right? Hey Mero
07:37Oh, I really think you should stop adding P to the producer's name. What? Why would I doesn't P just stand for producer?
07:44I don't think anyone else besides you uses P to mean producer, but all you really did was drop her name
07:51Although that's amazing. I mean, it's the K records in Shinjuku
07:56Mm-hmm. That's why we're set. We just need to follow you
08:00You know what you might be right I mean if we make a comeback and flop that's it for us for sure this time

08:53Oh

09:05Hey before we do anything else I
09:09Think we need an icebreaker
09:11Okay. Yeah, we're not here to enjoy ourselves

11:08See, I completely understand. He's him now
11:12Do you though you two done?
11:15Well, um, I taught her all that I could right then. Let's talk about scheduling
11:21Jelly's ultimate goal is to get 100,000 followers
11:25So stating all that for starters, I would like to release our next song by next Wednesday
11:30Huh?
11:31Huh?
11:33So then until that's done. I want us to get together every day
11:37You want us together every day, but um, we have to go back to school the day after tomorrow. I know
11:45But let's meet up in between all that. Come on
11:48Even I can tell that there's no way that's gonna work out for everyone. Mm-hmm. What about you may I'm very sorry
11:55No, no time. I have music lessons three times a week
11:58So but then what about the schedule? I mean about this schedule
12:05You just went and decided that on your own right? And why does it have to be by Wednesday? Anyway, well, um
12:13Well the sooner the better isn't it listen Kano I have a bunch of other stuff
12:18I have to do too like streaming and video editing not just this
12:21It'll be even tougher for the two going to school won't the end of the month or something work just as well
12:26But we have to get it done on time and I'm asking you just what exactly do you mean on time?
12:32Why is the end of the month too late? What's your reasoning your source?
12:36Well, because it's just if you don't have a reason then you need to listen to us
12:42You don't stand a chance arguing with an undefeated flame war champion. You are totally the unreasonable one Kano Yamanouchi
12:49Kano I understand how you feel but all of us have things other than jelly we have to be doing, you know
12:55I
13:01See then I'm gonna go run to the store
13:11What's up with her, huh, did I sound too harsh
13:19She said next Wednesday, didn't she
13:26Oh, I get it now if it's a rivalry thing, I can kind of understand where she's coming from, you know
13:47Hello
13:49You
14:01Please don't worry. I'm sure he's not actually betraying you
14:08Small pink girl, you're a really great woman, you know that
14:12Okay. So anyway, who are you all now? You're asking us
14:16Her friends, huh? I see. I get it now. She finally made some
14:26I'm her older sister me on by the way
14:29So where's Kano? I don't see her around anywhere
14:33Toilet. No, we actually just got into an argument earlier. Why she got an argument. Um, excuse me
14:41Uh, if you don't mind, will you please tell me what I don't know about no no time. Yeah, I would like to know as well
14:49Ah, I get it now
14:52You're the ones huh?
14:54Sure, why not? I'll pink girl here one anyway
14:59My sister wasn't the one who said she wanted to be an idol in the first place
15:04Our parents got divorced when we were in
15:07Elementary school and Kano became really attached to mom ever since she wanted to do whatever she could to please our mother
15:16The opposite for me
15:22Then you mean the one who applied to pop idol auditions focus on marrow a little longer
15:27The producer of the Sunflower Dolls yukinae Hayakawa if you didn't know already that's actually who our mother is
15:36the producer
15:40Because of that my sister was more diligent than anyone and got results to show for it
15:45But she was also isolated within the group and then there was that incident, right?
15:50The one who was supposed to be the producer of the Sunflower Dolls
15:54And then there was that incident right the one where they say Kano punched a fellow member
16:00Hmm. I never heard what exactly drove her to do a thing like that after she retired. She came to live here
16:07She spent every day holed up in her room living off nothing but energy bars and soda
16:12I told her that she'd die if she kept that up
16:16But she's been looking so much more alive these days a lot more positive
16:23Hey, I can't believe it what lately every day. It's just too fun
16:54I
17:05Haven't changed at all
17:13It's a symbol that you're jelly's leader
17:16I
17:19Can't get through to her. Well, do you have any leads to go off of there's a small gig, huh?
17:27Later tonight. The Sun Dolls are performing a mini gig at Hana Zono shrine. She might be there
17:34What's wrong?
17:36the venue is that way a
17:38Lonely person would find a lively place like that to stifling and claustrophobic
17:43I'm guessing Kano's headed for somewhere more
17:48Right, huh, you don't suppose
18:01What were you doing well, um, these are
18:05It was my bad what here hand him over
18:10Dude, why do you get six? Who are they for?
18:13Well, that's cuz they had six flavors and I didn't know which you'd all like
18:18Are you an idiot? What shut up? Come on. Let's go back. Okay
18:25Where's your room?
18:27Welcome home
18:32What the room I had some extra time on my hands while this do simmered yeah, thanks for this
18:43I
18:53Just sent you the drawing. Okay. Thanks. Wow. It's amazing. It's lovely. I have to do a good job. Oh, thanks
19:01Oh my are you smirking? I am NOT. Hey you guys don't you have to go home soon?
19:07I'll give us a break, huh?
19:10We may not be able to get together multiple times a week like you planned but let's give it our all tonight
19:22But why the sudden change of heart sorry, we actually heard a bunch about your past from your sister
19:30I'm sorry. I'm the one who asked you know what I
19:35I used to be the class superstar back in elementary school, but my fall from grace after that was pathetic
19:43I
19:45Bombed my first day. That's when I knew life in middle school was not going to go how I'd planned it
19:50You're telling me that's what happened
19:54Thank you
19:56For what, huh?
19:58Then then I suppose it's my turn next
20:01really
20:03To be honest, I'm really horrible at singing. Huh, but you're so good on the piano
20:10Miss Takanashi, you can stop there
20:16Even the teacher stopped me and that was devastating
20:19It felt like the whole world had decided that I was the odd one out. I
20:24Understand. Let's see. What can I say about me then go on?
20:29Actually, there's this person I'm kind of into right now
20:46Hey, can I change the lyrics here just a little bit then I'd like to make this part of the melody a lot brighter
20:52Can you just send me what you finished recording for now? I must say I like this phrase
20:57I want to draw another variation for this
21:04Just one more drink for me, please
21:19Okay, this is it right yeah
21:27Huh?
21:29We're done?
21:31Yeah!
21:58I know it's just me, but I can't help it
22:02I'm in such a hurry, I'm scared
22:05The light is fading
22:08Why am I here?
22:11What was I looking for?
22:13It's like I can't find it anywhere
22:18A warm resort, a cold reality
22:21What I received is in my pocket
22:23I've traveled a long way
22:26Let's go back to the place we should be
22:29Let's hold hands and go home
22:33To you who said welcome back
22:38To you who found me who was lost
