Episode 16
How It Feels to be All Alone
Inumi!
Why'd you flip your dinner bowl?
What's with those rebellious eyes?
You're the one who kicked your dinner bowl!
Even if it's not handmade, I made sure it's part of a balanced diet!
Why are you the only one who's so selfish?
What do you mean, you're representing everyone?
Hamuzou, you think so, too?
Just whose side are you on, anyway?!
What on Earth is going on?
It looks like they're fighting about breakfast this morning.
It looks like they can actually communicate like that.
Today's a recording day for "Break Out! Animal World," isn't it?
Every Sunday morning at 7:30AM
Watch with your who le family!
Break Out!
Hibiki and Inumi are the leads for the show...
Are they going to be all right if they keep going like that?
Don't be so stubborn, Inumi!
I–Inumi-chan is really popular on that show, too.
Y–Yeah, she sure is.
By the way, Yukiho.
There's a dog right there, but you look just fine.
Y–Yes. I'm n–not scared at all.
N–Neither am I!
Bonds
Not scared at all!
Chihaya-chan!
You look kind of down.
Are you all right?
J–Just fine. I've got to get to voice practice.
See you later.
Yeah. Work hard!
What was that?!
That's just cruel!
I can't believe you said that! You're inhuman!
She's not human. Right?
Now I'm mad!
I don't even care!
And you don't have to come to recording!
Let's go, Hamuzou!
Hey, wait! Hibiki!
It looks like things are going well as usual
with that animal show you oversee.
Oh yes, all thanks to you.
There are no problems with the plan, right?
None. It's all been taken care of.
The upper levels can't even be present for filming.
I believe we'll see Ganaha Hibiki relieved of her position by the end of today.
Excellent work.
No, no. I've been under your wing since I started out.
I hope we can maintain relations into the foreseeable future.
I'll accompany you to the recording.
President Kuroi, you want to go in person?!
Of course. Jupiter will be working with them today, after all.
Not to mention I suddenly want to see 765 Pro's unsightly tears.
Checkmate!
You're kidding!
Inumi-chan is taking the day off?
I'm sorry. It seems like she wasn't feeling well.
Dear me! You must be worried, Hibiki-chan!
I–It wouldn't even matter if that stupid Inumi were here.
I'll make the show interesting all by myself!
She's so brave!
It's precisely because you're worried that you're putting on such a brave front.
But this might be a problem.
We need to find another animal to play the lead.
In that case,
let's use this guy.
Oh my, supervisie!
This is Black Falchion the Third.
I thought something like this might happen, so I came prepared.
I do appreciate it, but...
He looks kind of unsociable compared to Inumi-chan.
He's just nervous!
Hi there, Inuzaburou!
Excuse me, Ganaha-kun!
His name is Black Falchion the Third!
Good boy! Good boy!
Hi there, Inuzaburou!
What are you doing, Inuzaburou?!
I–Is this really all right?
That's a good question...
Four!
Three!
Two!
Hiya!
It's Ganaha Hibiki!
First off is everyone's favorite
Break Out! Animal World's Animal Explorer Squad segment!
Today, we've got a new squad member!
Tah-dah!
Meet Inuzaburou!
Let's go ahead and hear how excited he is!
How about it, Inuzaburou?
The mic...!
Keep going!
A–Anyway, I can't wait to see what kind of animals we'll meet today!
So let's get a sunny start to today's adventure!
I'm so tired...
If Inumi were here, I wouldn't have to suffer like this.
No no no! Who cares about Inumi?!
Doesn't even matter if she's not here!
Hibiki.
We're going to change locations to film after this like usual.
It sounds like we can find some animals close to the pond today.
Okay! Got it.
And also... I heard this from the director a second ago,
it sounds like there was a sudden decision for Jupiter to come as guests.
Them?
It sounds like they'll be filming for a different segment,
so you probably won't have to deal with them directly.
We have no idea what 961 Pro is up to.
Keep on your toes.
I'll never give in to dirty cheaters!
Our guests, Jupiter, have arrived!
I'll go have a look.
Make sure you keep your guard up.
Excuse me. Ganaha-san!
Yes?
It seems not everyone can fit on the transfer bus,
so the director instructed me to take you separately.
P–Please, this way.
But my producer isn't back yet.
Yeah. He'll come later on the bus.
Touma-kun! Touma-kun!
Hokuto! Look over here!
Shouta, you're awesome!
Hey, isn't this your first time meeting Jupiter-chan?
Huh? I don't really need to–
Let me introduce you.
This man here is the incredibly popular
765 Pro's dyna-dyna mite-mite producer–
Did you say 765 Pro?
So you're the guy.
I've heard all about you.
Like how you use all sorts of dirty tricks to sell your idols.
What was that?!
I don't know what you've been told,
but 765 Pro isn't that kind of office.
And on top of that, we will never lose to 961 Pro.
What's with him?
I'm so glad you boys are getting along.
They sure are!
Y–You really think so?
I see.
So that's 765 Pro's man.
He's got a face made for such a lowly office.
And the fact that he's here alone means...?
Yes. The plan is already in motion.
I see.
Revolution always comes about suddenly.
Because everything changes all at once.
W–We're here.
Okay–
Huh?
Is this the place?
My producer said we'd be filming next to a pond.
Huh?
Sorry!
Wh–What's going on?
Wait!
I'm just doing what I was told!
Told you? Who did?!
What a sorry sight.
Inumi-chan won't budge an inch.
Can't we do something about her?
I don't think we can.
But Hibiki-chan is always saying,
"I'm going to work hard today for Inumi and the others!"
Oh? It's the phone.
Hello. This is 765 Pro.
My, Producer-san.
Huh? Hibiki-chan?
No, we haven't heard from her over here.
Isn't she with you?
Well, they're telling me she just got out of the car while we were in transit.
Just got out of the car?
That can't be right.
That's what I think, too.
Did you call Hibiki-chan's cell phone?
I still have it from when she left it with me before recording.
Anyway, I'll call back.
Bye.
How did that happen?
Why did you put her in a separate car instead of the team bus, anyway?
Well...
I was told to treat her specially because she's our main emcee.
Please, wait!
Hibiki would never–
Right?
She's the kind of girl who waits until the end even when her part is already recorded.
But you know...
You can never understand these modern kids.
It's kind of awkward to say this with someone from her office here,
but once they get popular, their attitudes all change.
You're kidding!
Our idols aren't like that!
Everyone says that.
How about it, director?
Let's use this opportunity to entrust the emcee spot to another idol.
To Jupiter-chan?
Right.
They're not only popular, but they'd be perfect as replacements.
It must be some kind of fate that they were here as guests today, right?
I suppose so.
Hibiki-chan would be best without a doubt,
but if we push too hard, we have to consider our on-air circumstances.
Please wait just a little longer!
Please! I'll find her somehow, so please, just a little longer...!
If you insist, I'll wait.
But I want to finish filming while it's still light out.
I know.
I'll be sure to make it in time!
I wonder if he'll be all right?
Who knows?
Hey!
Anyone!
Hey! Producer!
Director-san!
It's no use. Nobody's coming.
I'd climb up, but it's impossible with the soil so loose.
I wonder if this is exactly what Producer was warning me about...
We have no idea what 961 Pro is up to.
Keep on your toes.
What now...?
If I don't make it in time for recording, I'll...
You want me to throw you up onto the cliff, Hamuzou?
Why?
What?!
You'll contact Inumi and the others and have them help?!
Inumi would be able to sniff out the recording location?
No way! I can't do it!
Inumi and I are fighting right now!
That stupid Inumi can–
Hamuzou...?
H–Hamuzou!

Hibiki–
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
Hibiki!

Yeah! Yeah!
Ima ga hajimaru It's brand new stage
We're gettin' started on a brand new stage
Luckily, it looks like a passing rain.
When it lets up, let's start filming with Jupiter as our main.
Yume wo kizandeku Pure heartbeat
Our pure heartbeat carves out our dreams
I guess so.
Stand up
The filming for the mini-segment went splendidly as well.
Dress up
Light up
Zettai Never give up
We'll never, ever give up
Just what you'd expect from pop icons!
I guess.
Saa Step by step
Now, step by step
I do think they'd manage without any errors.
Jibun no mama
The way we want to go
Saa Good bye dream
Now, goodbye dream
Sheesh.
Nothing's been going right since I had that fight with Inumi this morning.
Real ni Metamorphose
It's a real metamorphosis
Itsudatte I can go now
We can go whenever we want
Inumi... Why'd she get so worked up just over dinner?
Motto Crazy burning heart
A bigger crazy burning heart
Ready trial dance
Chikaratsuyoku Life
Living a strong life
Every boy do it
Every girl do it
Hamuzou-chan!
Don't stop music
Hamuzou!
Did you come here by yourself?
Where's Hibiki-chan?
It's like he's trying to speak to us, I know it!
He's really cute, but we have no idea what he's saying!
Inumi-cha–?
H–Hey... Wai–
What?
Could she be telling us to take her to Hibiki-chan...?
Come to think of it, up until just a little while ago,
I made everyone's food by hand, one by one.
I'd cut up the things they didn't like real small,
and mix them in with their favorites.
But recently, it's gotten so busy...
Hey, Inumi! Nekokichi!
Everyone else, too! Food's on!
I've got work now.
Make sure you all watch the place together.
See you later!
That's right.
That's right!
Inumi wasn't just talking about the food.
Not about a balanced diet or anything.
"I want to be with you."
That must have been all she wanted.
But despite that, I blamed Inumi, fought with her, said terrible things to her...
I'm horrible!
I–Inumi?!
Why are you here?!
And the rest of you...
You're all dirty...
I'm sorry, everyone!
I didn't understand anything!
Yeah!
I'm sorry. I still haven't found Hibiki.
I see...
I knew it.
You're just lucky it was raining.
Okay, everyone. We're going to retake the Animal Explorer Squad opening
with Jupiter as our mains!
Hurry up and get ready! Don't make our pop icons wait!
The Sun needs to read the atmosphere.
Wouldn't have minded if it rained just a little more.
Ciao! You've got some long eyelashes there.
Kuroi-san, we've started filming.
As according to plan, Jupiter is filling the role of main emcee.
I see!
That producer from 765 Pro looked so frustrated!
He didn't even know that in truth, that AD fooled her and brought her out,
then left her all by herself.
I figured as much.
7–765 Pro!
I've thought you were acting a little funny for a while now,
but I never though you'd confess everything all by yourself.
So you must be President Kuroi.
That's right.
I'm going to tell the director right away and have filming canceled.
I won't let 961 Pro continue to have their–
Can you?
What?
Regardless the reason,
it's true that the idol from your third-rate office disappeared from the set.
Jupiter is filling that hole.
Do you really have the right to stop them?
Right, right!
If you want to stop Jupiter's recording,
you'd better bring some idols from your place right now!
If you can, at least!
Sorry to keep you waiting!
Sorry I'm so late!
Hibiki!
Is that...?
So she made it.
I was so worried, Hibiki!
Are you all right?
Yeah!
Producer! Director-san!
I'm so sorry for worrying you both!
Don't worry about that! You're back now!
Okay, everyone. Make the proper adjustments to your preparations.
Sorry, but Jupiter-chan's got the rest of the day off.
What?!
What the heck.
Rehearsal went perfectly, too.
Ciao! We had fun.
Don't screw around.
Disappearing as she pleases, reappearing as she pleases...
Wh–What could you mea–
U–Um, President Kuroi...!
There must be some sort of mistake, so–
We're through with you.
U–Um! Wait!
President Kuroi!
What happened back there, old man?
It would seem 765 Pro put one over us with their foul play.
They must have thought toying with you would be payback for the other day.
There are limits to the vengeance one should seek!
Those guys from 765 Pro really are beyond help.
If you're idols, you should fight us with your talent!
Okay then, let's get the main event started!
Three!
Two!
Hiya!
Today's Break Out! Animal World is brought to you with
all of these friends!
To tell the truth, everyone here
is a part of my irreplaceable family!
You really pulled us out of the fire, Otonashi-san.
You shouldn't thank me,
but thank Inumi and the others.
They searched all over the mountain to find Hibiki-chan.
The bonds between HIbiki-chan, Inumi-chan and the other animals are just incredible.
I wonder what kinds of animals we'll meet this week?
Well then, let's get this expedition started!
Okay, everyone! We're gonna run!
Itsudatte kouen de
Whenever we're at the park
Arukidaseru nanka naru nara
If starting to walk can take care of things

Keep going! Don't lose! This is where we start!

Let's hold hands and start running

We won't lose or get down in our future

If we jump in, it'll probably be all right
Ima hajimaru!
