In one month, Gen-3 will be hosting an event.
This is something the six members of Gen-3 must accomplish on their own.
If the event ends in failure, Gen-3's debut will be canceled,
and they will all be dismissed!
I'll put all my effort into supporting you six.
We'll make sure this event is a success.
You know it will!
If this event is successful,
we can debut as Lovedols, right?
We have to do it!
We will make the most of this opportunity.
Don't worry, Onii-chan.
We'll make sure to succeed in this event!
Yeah!
I can't wait, meow!
Is it a Sudden Development? Is it a Sudden Development?
So, I'd like to hear...
...what you girls intend to do.
There's no need to tell you!
That won't do, as this event is quite important to Sweetfish.
Explain it to her.
But...
Just do it. But...
You seem confident about this.
Can you tell me about it?
Come on, I don't have all day!
I'd like to perform a musical.
Dancing with lots of lively motion is a great fit for this event.
How is it? Perfect, right?
What's the topic of the musical?
Huh? D-Does it need one?
Of course it does.
If you're just dancing, then it's no different from going to a club.
B-But...
Then why don't we add some narration on top of it?
Something like a play? What's the story going to be?
One possibility would be...
A girl who wants to become a top idol like her sisters,
and tries to break into the entertainment world.
Many obstacles are standing in her way.
But the girl never gives up, and finally ascends to join them on the dazzling stage!
What do you think of that story?
I believe it will be very moving for everyone in the audience.
Isn't that YOUR story?
I-It won't work?
Were you going to call in the Chocorat twins for a guest appearance?
Yes, of course!
If we ask my sisters, I'm sure they'll agree to it!
They'd be more than glad to perform!
That means the fans will be there to see Chocorat, not you.
They're already famous.
It'd completely negate the concept of a Gen-3 event.
If that won't work, let's do voiceovers!
We'll create an original anime, and record the voices right in front of the fans!
I'm sure they'll all love it.
Go ahead, try and shoot that one down!
This isn't child's play.
W-What?
You're just nitpicking because you want the event to fail, aren't you?
You don't know the industry.
Do you think anime can be created so easily?
There's only a month left until the event.
Also, it'd take lots of money.
Do you want a more detailed explanation?
Then what we'll have to do is...
...have a fashion show!
We'd only have to prepare our outfits.
If you let the fans take pictures, they'd be beside themselves with joy!
How's that?
Do you have any idea how that will play out?
Isn't it enough if they see how cute we are?
Are you sure?
Then there'd be no point setting up an event.
If they only want to see your faces, wouldn't putting images on the Internet be enough?
But... there is no time.
That's just an excuse.
You can't be pros if you can't be serious.
Why don't we have Mai-chan and Kotoha-chan do a manzai act?
What?
I-I refuse!
S-So do I!
Why not? Desperate times call for desperate measures.
T-This isn't just our event.
If everyone thinks we should do it, I suppose I can consider the idea.
You actually want to do it?
Are we done here?
Umm... how about singing?
Why not have everyone sing together?
I think singing would be the best choice.
I do have some confidence in my singing.
If everyone's fine with it-
Too normal. If everyone's fine with it-
Too normal.
S-Sorry. Too normal.
S-Sorry.
What's this? I'm disappointed.
If that's all you have,
it'd be easier to find new Gen-3 members than to plan your event.
I'll be back, so put some thought into it.
It may be frustrating, but this is your last chance. Get it?
What's wrong, girls? We'll just have to go back to the drawing board.
There's still time.
Only a month.
Why don't we all go out for a bit?
What?
He just shoved us into the wild...
I never imagined he'd have us assisting Ayumi-san from Gen-1.
Just what is our manager thinking?
Ayumi-san's manager collapsed. There's no other choice.
Do you think he wants us to give up on being Lovedols,
and go into management?
That's all he's doing for us? Helping us find our next job?
Who knows, we might be good at it.
Q-Quiet. Who knows, we might be good at it.
Q-Quiet.
By the way, what do you think this is?
He said that we're not allowed to forget it.
No idea.
Thank you very much!
Good work.
Same goes for you girls. Where do we go next?
Umm... we have a handshake session at a CD shop,
then a recording at the TV station.
I guess we'd better get going.
Yes, but...
What is it?
We might not make it if we don't hurry.
I got carried away and chatted too much.
Want me to call a taxi?
No, no. We can make it if we run. Let's go!
We're really running?
If I could have my first wish granted right now moshi mo negai ga ima hitotsu kanau no nara
We have to get moving to the next event. If I could have my first wish granted right now moshi mo negai ga ima hitotsu kanau no nara

She's very talented.
Now that's what I call star power.
And she just ran all the way here.
She's shining up there!
Sorry to keep you waiting! Where to next?
Training at the gym.

I bet they're running all over the place right now.
She sure is tough.
She's been running everywhere, and didn't even eat lunch.
Yet she's been smiling the whole time.
I thought I was strong, but I've got nothing on her.
Her next job is in another district.
W-What? And we have to go with her?
Ayumi's san's the only one who needs to go.
I see.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
I'm sorry. I guess we wound up without any time to eat.
Are you all right, Ayumi-san?
Yes. I'm used to it.
Haven't you ever considered disguising yourself?
Eh? Why?
Because that's what my sisters always do.
Ah. Mina-chan and China-chan are very popular.
That's right!
My sisters look radiant even if they just dress normally.
If they don't disguise themselves, their fans notice them immediately, and mass chaos ensues!
S-Sorry. I rambled on again.
It's fine, it's fine.
But if you disguise your face, you won't be surrounded by fans like you were just now.
I believe that would give us some breathing room.
I can't let my fame go to waste like that.
People finally recognize and remember my face,
so why should I hide it?
Say, Ayumi-san, what's this?
Why don't we go to the roof for a bit?
Yes. Thank you very much.
So that's how it is.
Do you understand?
Yes. Completely.
Good.
Let's enact the plan.
Yes.
Please allow me, Shindou Ayumi, to sing!
Where's my applause?
Yes...
Thank you.
This sure brings back memories of when I had my debut.
I carried this around while I looked for a place to sing.
At first, no one would listen.
But I kept singing because I felt that someone would listen sooner or later.
I didn't think it was harsh,
not as long as I could keep on singing my favorite songs.
I built my own stage with this one platform.
I kept on singing because I wanted to sing. The place didn't matter.
Am I trying to look too cool?
It's about time for me to go. I'll miss the train if I don't hurry.
A-Ayumi-san! You forgot something!
"Next Departure: Hyper Hitachi #45 - Takaogi"
Thanks for helping me today. I had a lot of fun.
Ayumi-san, this...
Ah, I'll give it to you. Please keep it, if you want it.
But isn't it important to you?
I brought it because I heard that you girls were coming.
It reminded me of my early days in the business.
I'm not too good with words, but...
Do your best. I'll be waiting for you.
She's gone.
What a tough person.
She was always smiling.
No matter where she went, her smile never faded.
And she built her own stage with this beer case.
Nothing less from a Lovedol.
A Lovedol, huh?
I doubt I can do it.
It's a tough act for us to follow.
We can!
Because I've... arrived.
Because I've... arrived.
When I started singing on the streets, no one listened to me.
But I kept singing, because that was all I had.
That's your situation.
It's the same for all of us.
That's why we've stayed together so far.
I never though I was capable of doing so many things.
Still, didn't we make it through?
But...
There will be many fans gathered to see us.
If our performance isn't good enough...
Do you think people actually want to see us perform?
I'm not too confident. And I'm not as well-known as my sisters.
That's why we need to put ourselves out there.
Isn't that right, Mizuki-chan?
This is our debut event.
This is our chance to show the world that we're cut out to be Lovedols.
Well yeah, but...
Now that you're here, Mizuki-chan, the rest of us can succeed too.
But, what should we do?
Can't we just do what we want to do?
If we do everything we can do now,
and keep on singing, like Ayumi-san did...
I'm fairly sure they understood.
I see. That's good.
Why did you use such an indirect method?
You could've just told them at the start.
I was hoping they'd realize it themselves. This is for their future.
Sitting around and thinking isn't the best use of their time.
Is this why you called me in?
Umm... I had faith that you could get through to them.
Hey, I'll be back when you've decided.
Of course.
Once it's all over, let's all party together!
Or there'll be hell to pay.
I got it.
I'll be sure to find a way to thank you for doing this.
I sure hope so.
Y-Yeah.
Call me if anything happens.
Thank you very much, Ayumi.
We're back!
Welcome home.
You're still here? Just go home already!
My, my. Is that any way to greet me?
I was worried, so I came by to check on you girls.
Did you think we'd come crawling home in tears?
I hope you can put your money where your mouth is.
I'll get the manager.
We'll tell him our plans for the event.
You seem very confident this time.
Is everybody back?
Looks like the gang's all here.
Ah... Aneki! When did you get here?
I won't let you lay a finger on Onii-chan!
Why are you so angry about a little skinship?
No means no.
I have something I want all of you to see.
I've come up with some plans of my own for the event.
I want you all to read them.
That's just what we wanted to talk about, Onii-chan.
I know you might be nervous, but we have to do this.
This is necessary to allow everyone to debut as Lovedols...
I'd like you to leave the details to us. This is necessary to allow everyone to debut as Lovedols...
I'd like you to leave the details to us.
Because this is OUR event.
I see. I get it.
It isn't that simple! How about you let me in on your plans?
Okay.
I want to sing the songs I wish to sing.
I want to dance with all my might.
And I want to show my beauty to the fans.
I would also like to sing.
I want to try a play.
Ruri will put on a show with her voice.
And at the end, everyone will sing together.
How is that?
This is the best we can do for now.
So, I hope that you'll let us do it.
I understand. Go ahead and try it.
We'll make this the best event ever, meow!
We can do it, too!
We will put our abilities to their fullest use.
Let's make this debut fabulous!
Of course we will!
Ah, right.
What about Mai-chan and Kotoha-chan's on-stage performance?
N-No.
These chances don't come along every day, you know.
That's not the issue here.
Why do you refuse?
That's right. Gen-3 needs a duo.
I-I've said it before! I'm not good at talking in front of people!
N-Neither am I.
I'll be nervous.
My, my. Those are shocking words.
Haven't you two already debuted?
But I'm just sick and tired of acting fake-cute.
I've been doing it for eight years running.
Ah, so that's how it is.
I just want to be myself.
That's why I accepted Manager's invitation.
What about you, Kotoha-chan?
When I'm forced into something, I'm not able to speak.
That's what makes you boring!
Please don't call me boring!
Okay, I've seen enough. What about the singing?
Do you plan to start composing now?
There's no point talking about this if you don't have the right song. So, do you?
If you want a song, I've got one.
It's a song everyone should be able to sing. Do you want to hear it?
Did you write it?
Yeah.
I wrote it for the six of us to sing.
That's incredible, Mizuki-sama.
Could've told us sooner, you know. That's incredible, Mizuki-sama.
Could've told us sooner, you know.
Sorry.
How is it?
Is it bad? Do you hate it?
Not at all.
I-It was a great song.
Thank goodness.
It has a great feel, meow!
Mizuki, are you up for making this into Gen-3's debut song?
Yes.
Of course.
Well, it's pretty good.
Now we just have to put our individual performances together.
Let's all do some brainstorming!
I guess we won't need this.
They've gotten motivated.
Sakaki Mizuki?
I hope she can do this.
