We need to find a venue for our jam session concert soon.

Oh yeah, pyuru.

If we don't hurry, we won't be able to reserve a venue.

Yeah.

Wait a minute.

...we'll be playing a concert together, meow!

That's what you said, right?

But you haven't planned anything yet...?

We need to find a venue soon, huh?

Should we try looking online?

I think we should go around and look for places ourselves.

Lunatic Buena Idea!

That's what you say, but you just want to go play, don't you?

Himeko, playing is excitement!

Excitement is necessary! That's what my Gran says!

Oh, right!

Since we have this chance, would you like to write a song to play together?

--Yes! --Yeah!

Shooting stars, a new adventure

Running out on a trackless path

Come, let's go. Heading for the Island of Dreams!!

With feelings I want to come true in my heart

Ba-dump ba-dump... Delusions brought about by worry

I made a mistake

And now everything's going wrong

It's always important to be able to switch gears

Break loose, be positive, Go Way!!

Your future is your own

So now, to the ends of the earth

Head toward your dream

Do it! Be brave

Ready? Let's shout together (Heave-ho!!)

Mix and match, count to three

Three, two, one

Look, the world is starting to turn

At a standstill, hesitating

I can't move forward

The stars are twinkling, twinkling, twinkling

Tomorrow, we'll definitely be

Shining more than we did today

Fans shout, "Fight! Pitch with all your might!!"

So keep smiling every day (Yeah!! Yeah!!)

La-la-la, a love song on your lips

Tickled silly, happiness rushes around me

Don't worry!! Don't worry!!

The future is always

A wonderful tomorrow, just you wait!

"PASS STAGE"

Hey, look at Sojun...

Yeah...

He went and ate something delicious on his own.

His lips seem to shine more than usual...

Oil? Did he eat fried food?

That small stain on his jacket...

Is it a splash of dipping sauce...?

Fried food... dipping sauce...

Which means...

Tempura?!

Sojun! You snuck out ahead of us to eat?!

Huh? What are you talking about?

At least bring home some of the leftover fried batter!

The dipping sauce would've been fine, too!

We are not idols. We are artists!

With our music, we'll make the world into gold!

Sei!

Hm? Is something the matter?

Sei!

Selen, maybe your sweet humming was bothering him.

If you're going to say that much, maybe your muscle-brained voice was too loud.

Take a look at this.

--Sei? --Huh?

Is that the proposal for our next concert?

Sei? What about it?

Well, you know, whether it's a song or a concert,

we always end up with something amazing before you know it.

Sei, sei. We have total trust in you guys.

Well, if you still feel uncertain,

you wanna fly over to Waihaha on my private jet?

No, that's not the issue.

Yeah, this is an issue within ourselves...

It's time for the limited-time sale.

Titan, I've been meaning to mention this, but if you need money--

No, it's fine.

My parents' jobs are going well, too.

Thanks to that, I'm able to live in an apartment with my little brothers now.

I appreciate your consideration, though.

Sojun!

Bastard, play more seriously!

Even if you say that, this is what I'm playing on...

You should still be able to beat out a rhythm with that.

You don't get it, do you?

It's about my motivation.

That's why we're telling you to get motivated!

Ugh, fine. You don't have to be so loud.

My battery's dead!

I'm done, I'm done.

I'm home.

Oh, welcome home, Big Brother!

Have you two been good?

Yeah!

Oh! Hey, Big Brother, there are some naughty boys next door.

The people that just moved in are really loud.

Really?

If they're loud again, I'll make sure to go complain.

'Kay! I'll make dinner now!

Okay!

You lot need to start getting ready for the festival soon...

But from the looks of it, you haven't gotten anything done yet, have you?

♬ Just awake ♬

♬ With the ringing beat ♬

Do you know this band?

Principal, what about them?

I won't beat around the bush.

You are to have...

"Battle of Bands"

"Battle of Bands" ...a battle of the bands with them, ARCAREAFACT!

If you don't do something like that,

you won't be able to participate in the festival no matter how much time passes.

Even so, why do we need to play against such gaudy bastards?

Will they even play against us in the first place?

Then it's fine.

You can run because you were scared they wouldn't play against you...

--Wait. --Hm?

It's true that they're gaudy...

But their music was the real thing.

It's worth throwing our all against them.

We'll do it!

Battle of the bands?

Yeah, what do you think? As a side show to your next concert.

Are you saying that there's a band who is our equal in Midi City right now?

It's fine to do something eccentric, but don't you think it'll be negative for us?

Sei, sei!

Don't you think our golden Artefacts will be more satisfied if we play by ourselves?

Well, you don't have to be so against it before hearing them out.

♬ I get around on the bike ♬

What do you think? You'd be playing against them.

These guys are...

Mr. Juda, if you have time to think about stuff like this,

then why don't you let us play Trichronika already?

Isn't that how you feel, Titan?

Please allow us to think it over.

What is the meaning of this, Titan?

You guys didn't feel anything?

About what?

When you heard their music.

I felt it... Their seriousness.

It's true that we are being forced to play together.

But right now, I want to face music seriously.

Speaking of which, you said something like that before, huh?

You guys might not understand,

but I've come to feel like it'd be nice to make people happy with music...

ARCAREAFACT, and SHINGANCRIMSONZ...

They're not just passionate.

They have souls that perform music!

Do we have that right now?

If we're going to do it, don't think of it as being forced to do it.

We'll decide to do it ourselves!

To play music with our souls in it!

All right, fine.

We'll show them our passionate performance!

Honestly, the reason my songs and Orion's playing are going through a slump

is that our performances are already so complete.

In order to break through that,

I think playing against an unrefined band like them would be good for us.

You might be right about that.

Then, shall we do the battle of the bands?

Sei, sei! Let's do it!

But before that...

...let's have a little fun.

Hachin, you're rushing.

Huh? Really?

I agree.

Okay, one more time.

Jeez, this is a pain.

Hey, Sojun!

I told you to get motivated!

Will you just shut up?

So you guys are DOKONJOFINGER?

You're... ARCAREAFACT!

Practicing in a place like this?

You got something to say about that?!

Sei, sei. It's tough being poor.

You're all students, right?

Don't you want money?

What the hell?! I'll sting you!

What do you gaudy bastards want with us?!

We just came by today to say hi.

We're looking forward to the battle of bands with you.

Bring it on.

Later.

Those rich ARCARE bastards!

They were so damn gross!

Yeah, I don't like being looked down on.

Let's get them back with our passionate performance!

--Yeah! --Jeez, you're suffocating me.

I hate stuff like that the most.

Hey, Sojun!

Come back here!

Damn, those guys are so suffocating.

Hey, thanks for earlier.

You are...

What are you trying to do?

There's no way you will be able to beat us, ARCAREAFACT.

But, just to make doubly sure...

You understand what this money means, right?

The battle of the bands is tomorrow!

That Sojun's skipping practice again!

What the heck are you doing?!

Sojun!

What's the matter...?

Um, no one's home...

Big Brother and Big Bro Ti haven't come home yet...

I don't have a key...

Are you hungry?

Yeah...

Yummy!

Did you know? If you put a rice ball into the ramen soup, it's really yummy!

You should try it sometime, too, Mister!

R-Right... By the way, don't call me "Mister," call me "Buddy"--

Huh? Are you a drummer, Mister?

Not "Mister"! Use "Buddy."

I am a drummer, though.

Wow!

I can play the piano a little.

Oh, but I can't go home right now.

I'll play for you later!

You're...

"I love my big brother"

"I love my big brother"

I see... You were once rich, but now you're poor...

--Yeah, it's a lot better now, --Watch this.

--Yeah, it's a lot better now, --Oh! Wow, wow!

--but when we first ended up like this, --Oh! Wow, wow!

I couldn't tell my band members.

But now...

This guy...

I thought he was a flashy rich boy,

but he's seen hard times.

Hey, hey, Mister!

Let's play together!

Not "Mister"! Use "Buddy."

You guys might not understand,

but I've come to feel like it'd be nice to make people happy with music...

I see...

It might be nice...

Everyone!

Welcome to ARCARE Golden Stadium, built in a hurry

by Midi City's number one richest band, ARCAREAFACT!

This is amazing...

I heard they built this stadium in a hurry just for this concert.

Just how much money do they have...?

Anyway, is that Sojun really not gonna come?

He was already gone when I woke up this morning.

Even if he doesn't come...

Yeah!

We've got no choice but to play, even if it's just us!

Now, it's finally time to start!

First up is the band that's grown so much they're now called Trichronika's rivals--

ARCAREAFACT!

Enveloped in a golden light,

they're the men closest to being kings!

We are not idols. We are artists!

We'll spin the world together with our golden melodious!

♬ Tires grating, the alarm sounds to signal I'm out of gas ♬

♬ I have no choice but to keep going like this ♬

♬ I've been by your side for too long, and before I knew it, my resolve faded ♬

♬ Just close your eyes for a bit ♬

--Those guys... --Yeah, they're not bad.

Oh, all three of you look surprised.

♬ PASS STAGE ♬

♬ You from days gone by beckon, holding a ticket to hope ♬

♬ Let's leave immature quirks and baggage here ♬

Sojun! What are you doing here...?

I thought I'd give that flashy gold guy a good one.

Thank you, ARCAREAFACT!

Next, the band who boasts that there's no one in Under North Zawa who doesn't know them,

the band of mischievous bastards,

DOKONJOFINGER!

Let's go, guys!

Yeah!

♬ The proclamation of despair shooting up from the dried concrete ♬

♬ Piercing through with our grand postures, unprecedented ♬

♬ Steal away VIBRATE ♬

♬ Solutions scattered by successful older generations hang low ♬

♬ Synonymous with worthless love, like ripped open desiccant ♬

♬ In the end, we put the lid on the age of copying them, Mistake ♬

What's the matter? You could play for the rest of your life with this money.

Yeah, that's true.

But it's not money I want.

I want to graduate.

With these guys...

♬ ＜Bent on all seeing＞ Kicking away inertia, if it's vexing then flip it away ♬

♬ A colored warning to KEEP OUT ♬

♬ Go! Take the bento ♬

♬ ＜Make sure of a fact＞ Burn off your train of thought... ♬

I didn't think he'd come return it himself.

You knew from the start, didn't you, Orion?

♬ Blow away conventions ♬

♬ We've got motive, steal away VIBRATE ♬

♬ The proclamation of despair shooting up from the dried concrete ♬

♬ Piercing through with our grand postures, unprecedented ♬

Okay, everyone!

Which band was cooler? Cast your votes!

Now, who will be the winners tonight?

Which way did the votes go?

The winners are ARCAREAFACT!

It's over...

We lost, huh?

It's frustrating, though.

Oh, but...

Our souls were in it.

--Shall we go? --Huh? We don't have to say anything?

Sei, sei! Yeah.

There's no need to say it in words.

I'm starving!

Let's hurry up and head home.

Y-You are...

...that scout from back then!

Good work, boys.

--Hey, Principal. --Huh?

What did you think of our performance?

Huh?

Are you saying the scout is Principal Yudasu?

That's how it is.

Did you guys know?

How could he be anyone else?

Really...?

Huh? It's done?

It's my first time writing a song for a jam session,

so I wanted to know what you thought.

I want to hear it, pyuru.

Hm?

Everyone!

I've got a venue for the concert!

Ooh!

Let me dream, hey, just for today

With a rainbow light shining on me

I want to sing

A starry sky light story

Dressing up in sparkly clothes

Under the spotlight

(I can't tell anyone)

About the world I yearned for

I kept it close to my chest

I thought people would laugh

(About me having a dream)

I was too scared to say anything

But everything changes

On the starry sky stage

Don't forget

To shine

Let me dream, hey, just for today

With a rainbow light shining on me

I want to sing

Forever, in the light

Hey, hey, just for today

Don't stop the rainbow rhythm

Just a little more

Let me be wrapped in the light of my dream

A starry sky light story

SHOW BY ROCK!! Short!!

Two!

--Balt and... --...Nickel's...

...Ten Second Cooking!

Today, we'll be making curry risotto.

"Curry Noodle"

First, take just the noodles of instant curry noodles--

And eat them up!

Then, take the leftover soup--

And put in a microwaved grilled rice ball!

Stir everything together--

And you have curry risotto!

Um, well...

--I think maybe I like them separate, too. --Yum...

--I think maybe I like them separate, too. --Nickel! No fair!

"Next time: Runners High!!" "Please watch♥" "The end"
