Excuse me! Excuse me!

Is the person in that video really Abe Yuuko-san?

Please let him talk! Let him talk!

Apologies for making you all wait!

I am Okishima, Abe Yuuko's manager.

About that so-called leaked video...

Although there are speculations going around...

That girl is NOT Abe Yuuko.

Then who was it?

What about the previous matter?

- Good morning. - Good morning.

We still haven't received a report from the Information Section.

Is that right.

You can see everything.

Did you know about this matter?

Did you try to keep it from us?

No, sir...

We were caught unawares.

We are ashamed to admit it but we weren't aware of it.

Has Yuuchan herself confirmed it was her?

Right now, we are in the process of examining it...

Whichever way you look at it, it's her.

There's no need to verify it.

We are deeply sorry!

We sincerely apologize for what happened.

(4 years ago)

Here's Yuuchan.

Here's Yuuchan.

C'mon, do it, Abe Kuro.

"Come on, it's okay. Lighten up more, Princess."

- "Ready, action!" - "Here's Yuuchan!"

- Tama, get out of the way! - Not you!

Here's Yuuchan!

I don't say that line anymore ever since I got into middle school.

I know.

You did that clumsy high jump.

'Cause it was 140 cm after all.

I'll show you a sample.

- Are you gonna do it? - Will he do it?

Good luck!

You can do it!

- Good luck! - Tama!

Go!

Wake up, you!

- Sorry. - Hey.

Look, those burn marks of yours are already a minus as it is so...

Try to learn some courtesy, will you?

Okay.

- Get your ass movin. - Yes!

Hey, do you know? About Matsuda's Frisk* thing. (*The gum he is always shaking)

What?

He always carries it with him but never eats them, right?

Yeah.

He put BB gun pellets inside.

Heard he was bullied a long time ago, and had been shot with air guns.

It seems he always collected the pellets they used on him.

I'm just kidding, dumbass!

(Masuo Jintaro's Gogo no Okusama)

"Masuo Jintaro's Gogo no Okusama*"! ("Wives' Afternoon")

Yes, nice to meet you. I'm Masuo Jintaro, hello and welcome!

- Sugiyama-chan. - Yes. (Sugiyama Yoko, Masuo Jintaro)

October is almost over, isn't it?

It certainly is.

The ginkgo trees in my neighborhood are starting to change color.

It makes me feel tempted to go traveling.

Yes. As such, for Masuo-san...

"...in the second half of our program..."

Please wait here for a while.

"That one is amazing."

- "Have you seen it?" - "No..."

"...I just heard it from someone."

Okay then... should I now call out our guest?

Yes.

Heeere's Yuuchan!

(Abe Yuuko)

- In the flesh! - Wow! (Abe Yuuko)

(Abe Yuuko)

From Star Cheese's CM, the popular Abe Yuuko-chan.

Hello, good afternoon.

Yuuchan! Yuuchan!

It feels like this isn't the first time we've met. (Abe Yuuko: 14 yo born in 1996 in Tokyo; In 2001, at the age of five, she debuted in a Star Cheese CM; Yuuchan CMs are still an ongoing popular series.)

(Abe Yuuko: 14 yo born in 1996 in Tokyo; In 2001, at the age of five, she debuted in a Star Cheese CM; Yuuchan CMs are still an ongoing popular series.)

Have we ever met before? (Abe Yuuko: 14 yo born in 1996 in Tokyo; In 2001, at the age of five, she debuted in a Star Cheese CM; Yuuchan CMs are still an ongoing popular series.)

I don't think so.

You've really grown up.

Her first CM totally left an impression on us.

True. Yuuchan has truly stayed the same...

No, she HAS grown up.

Even her sneeze is cute.

So cute.

That smile...

Somehow it feels like I'm looking at my niece...

You don't seem to come off as a talent (TV personality).

Don't I look like a talent?

(Posters of ratings of TV programs)

Thank you for today.

Every second, every minute... These numbers are constantly undulating.

Like a snake?

Right. That's how I see it, too.

Like someday...

...I want to grab it by the back of its neck.

Yuuko-chan, ever since the first time I saw your CM...

I have always thought we're going to work together someday...

...I was sure of it.

- The car's ready. - Alright.

Yuu, let's go.

- Okay. - Thank you for the hard work.

Your short answers were well received.

By Masuo's other guests too.

But when they asked me about my future, I didn't know what to say.

Maybe "I want to do my best in my job."

Mikiko-san, that's too boring.

How about saying, "I want to bestow a dream."

- A dream? - Yes.

To bequeath... a dream.

That sounds good. Right.

That's a good one, Okishima-san.

Hey, Yuu, look up.

I promised myself that I'm going to bring you up there someday.

Tama!

Didn't see that coming? Were you surprised?

Hurry up.

Come on!

Ouch!

Oww!

Hurry, we're waiting!

Come on, let's go!

- Tama! Tama! - Wait for me!

Yuu, hurry up.

(Cast Dressing Room: Nyan Girls 7-sama)

Excuse me.

Good morning. I'm Abe Yuuko, I'll be appearing in your show starting today.

Looking forward to working with you.

Good morning. I'm Abe Yuuko.

Yuuchan?

I'm Abe Yuuko, I'll be appearing in your show starting today.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you too.

Good morning.

- Looking forward to working with you. - Same here.

Yuuchan?

Yuuchan, you ARE cute.

You have your own dressing room, right?

If you're in a place like this, you'll be moving to "bitch" level, you know.

- No way. - Right?

- Hey! - What?

Guys look, Kenta is in Hakone.

He got into a pool this morning.

(Momochan)

Love Night Watch... We are Nyan Girls 7!

If we can...

We'll do it!

(Nyan Girls 7: If We Can, We'll Do It)

(MC: Ijiri Okada)

(Nyan Girls 7: Runa Runa, Yuttan, Yuumin, Rei, Akanen, Miiha, Rumina)

Who're you? (Nyan Girls 7: Runa Runa, Yuttan, Yuumin, Rei, Akanen, Miiha, Rumina)

- Miiha? Where's Miiha? - Here!

Where did she go? Miiha?

- Where's Miiha? - I'm right here!

I wonder where she went...

Hi, I'm Abe Yuuko and I'll be participating starting this week.

(New Regular MC: Abe Yuuko) Hi, I'm Abe Yuuko and I'll be participating starting this week.

Ah, I know her!

Miiha, is it okay with you? Getting kicked down from your MC position?

Eh~! (Miiha, Former MC)

That's nothing to laugh about!

Look. Takahashi-san is so evil!

(Takahashi Hiroki, Devil Producer)

(Showdown "If We Can, We'll Do It": From here, they will be divided into competing teams. The one with the highest points wins a luxurious prize!!!)

From here, they'll be divided into two competing teams. (Showdown "If We Can, We'll Do It": From here, they will be divided into competing teams. The one with the highest points wins a luxurious prize!!!)

The winning team...

...wi-will get to eat the specialty of today's filming location, Okazaki Shopping Street's Yamamoto-san...

...her dangerously yummy~, shark's fin-filled Chinese steamed buns...

All you can eat!

There it is!

(Yamamoto-ya Specialty: Shark's fin-filled Chinese steamed buns, 1,589 yen; Okazaki Shopping Street, SAITO JUNKO-san)

Wait wait! Girls! Girls! (Yamamoto-ya Specialty: Shark's fin-filled Chinese steamed buns, 1,589 yen; Okazaki Shopping Street, SAITO JUNKO-san)

You guys! You guys...

Are you all just gonna rely on the editing department?

She sounds like someone who failed in the language test.

All you can eat~!

She nailed it!

Be careful!

Be careful!

If we can, we'll do it!

Is this really necessary for Yuuko?

Look, Mikiko-san.

Dramas are different from CMs.

She must remember how to behave so her scenes won't end up on the cutting room floor.

Even so, her route is different from these girls.

They told me it's too sudden for her to go on primetime or golden tv.

To be honest, this is mainly the only program we can shove her into.

Yuuko can't bring in the numbers yet.

Please tell them we're going home today.

We won't be coming to this site ever again.

Abandonment of workplace?

Are you aware you still have no clout to ask such a thing for Yuuko?

If we can, we'll do it!

Okay!

Okay!

(Nyan Girls 7 New Single, "Nameless White Flower Fades and Dies" "If We Can We'll Do It" Theme song; Now on Sale)

Yoohoo.

That's a school uniform!

You said we'll be going out for some supplementary school lessons so I came like this.

But it doesn't matter what you wear.

Being cute is all that matters.

Let's go.

Cute!

This one's cute.

How does it look?

I'm married.

Huh? Hey, Miss.

You're really cute.

They're really cute, right?

- Let's go! - Wanna go to karaoke--

Hey hey... Wait a minute!

Bye-bye!

How cute!

Hey, Yuuko.

How adorable!

Here.

Looks good. Nice.

- Ready? - Ready.

How cute!

Look.

I'm Catherine.

Oh my god, Catherine!

Nice to meet you!

Hey, why do you like Rakugo?

Why is that?

It's totally funny.

Also...

All of those who feel they're good-for-nothing..

This is where they get to shine so I like it...

I'm glad you found something good.

Me, too.

Your mom is a real tiger mom to the max, huh?

Yeah.

That's why nobody likes her, I think.

But you love her so that's good enough.

I think your mom feels the same way too.

Excuse me.

- Yes? - Can I speak with you for a moment?

Do you want to work as a model or a talent?

For me, I was okay with it.

But how come he didn't recognize you?

I didn't know a scout can be scary.

You're a "career*"... (*Has potential to go up the ladder)

While me and the girls are "non-careers*". (*No chance to go up the ladder)

It's a happy day for me if someone gets to greet me.

You know...

I worked as your stand-in in the past.

Okay, Miiha-chan, we're done.

Yuuchan, please!

But in the end, I didn't get to become a child actor.

I modeled for child porn, barely made it as a gravure model...

Yeah...

I know.

It's not what I wished for myself but...

I tell myself I did okay compared to others.

Before I knew it, I was signing a contract.

Seeing you cry for me...

...fills my heart with warmth.

It's nice that your mom will be happy when she receives your gift.

Yeah.

Thanks for today.

Please stop joking around.

I'm not joking.

I absolutely won't get a divorce.

Is it okay with you if Yuu's image gets damaged?

What you really don't want to damage is YOUR reputation.

From now on, even a scandal involving her parent will fall upon Yuu...

Please consider that side, will you?

Is a withered middle aged woman like her better than me?

Who's more superior here is not the issue.

That woman... prioritizes slutting around over God.

Stop it! Enough with your vulgar mouth.

Yuu...

(Always stay young and beautiful please, ~Yuu)

That Yuuchan... will already be graduating from middle school this spring.

Along with this new departure...

...Star Cheese will walk with her to represent its deliciousness.

Rather than yearning for the good old days, we will focus on the future.

For the first time, various things have been accomplished.

Star Cheese's pioneer spirit...

...will be represented as not lingering behind but moving forward.

(Yuuchan) ...will be represented as not lingering behind but moving forward.

So then, for a concrete representation of this image...

Creative Director Murano will explain our proposal.

What are you doing?

Tama...

Do you have a stomach ache?

No.

Give me some cheese.

Sorry, I didn't bring any.

I have no place to go to.

(Knitted Goods)

Knitted goods? (Knitted Goods)

(Knitted Goods)

Knitted goods. (Knitted Goods)

(Knitted Goods)

Those clothes decorating the store, I wonder how many years they've been there.

Do they have customers?

I haven't seen any.

You're wondering why hasn't it gone bankrupt, right?

But somehow...

...you'd want them to survive forever.

Yeah.

The ocean is so wide.

Come on.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon!

Is your Grandpa saying something?

He's just doing a play-by-play commentary on Sumo wrestling.

What is that?

Don't you know?

That's a way you make dried fish.

If you get your face closer to it, it becomes a face slapper.

Don't get too close, or the machine will stop.

I'll go and rinse the fish.

I'll help too.

Then, you dry them out in the sun.

Okay.

Are you studying for the high school entrance exams?

Nope.

Where will you apply?

At a Tokyo high school.

Here.

How about you?

Someplace in my hometown.

You can come to my place anytime.

...so you can help me rinse the fish.

Class, hurry and gather together!

We'll have our class picture taken!

Kondo-sensei's waiting!

Okay, you guys over there too, sit down.

Tama, Tama, Tama...

Okay, gather together.

Go, giddy-yap! Tama, let's go!

Go, go, go!

From your position, can you please look at the lens?

Then, you at the back row, can you...

Collar, your collar.

Everyone, remember this is a once in a lifetime picture.

Let's show a nice smile today, okay?

Here we go.

It's for a live web show, apparently it's unusually popular.

A lot of people are accessing it.

Yeah, but I'm so sleepy.

You rose to 2nd place after the gravure elections.

There's no doubt your time is about to come.

Really?

But I'm sleepy...

You've always been working hard.

At least, try to dream a little.

But no one's asking me for such a thing.

Also, well, as always, if you get scared...

- Yes... - It'll be okay.

- Got it. - So, we'll be counting on you.

- Thank you. - Also...

Make the most out of this room.

- Okay - At the back of the room...

...several stuff there are falling apart so...

Got it.

I'm ready.

Okay, 15 seconds til air time.

Any moment now...

10 seconds...

8, 7, 6, 5, 4...

(Reiken Max: Tokyo Ruins!)

Good evening. This is Miiha! (Viewer Comments: "Hello" "Miihaha" "Come on, let's go!" "Nyan Girls Awesome~~~")

Stop it already~. ("That scared me lol" "Fake")

("Isn't she so cute?" "Cuuuute" "Stop it alrady~ That suddenly scared me lol")

("This is going to be good lol" "I'm sleepy haha")

Wait a minute.

That passageway... There's something strange about it... ("What's there?" "I don't see anything" "Dark")

Like there's plenty gathering there... ("The location is doubtful" "Total darkness" "There's something strange lol" "Live lol")

Wait a minute...

It feels strange, it feels strange...

It kinda feels colder now. ("Cold cold" "Who's there" "It has become seriously scary" "Calm down you guyz")

Ah, I'm scared! ("Scary! Scary!" "Mii-tan, do your best" "Seriously?")

("Miiha lol" "Real strange thing has come~~~" "Here it comes~" "Mornin" "RUNNN")

("What I've been waiting for!" "Go go dondon" "Gooo" "Wow~~ Miiha")

She's going to the back... the back...

- Not the back! - Miiha! Wait-- ("Eh?" "Ha?" What? "What?")

("Camera lol" "Eh? "Hm?" "Yes?" "Miitan? "Something's strange?")

Oh shit! ("Wai~~~" "Shit!" "EEEH?" "What just happened?" "Scary Scary!" "What's happening?" "Hey~!")

("UWAAAH!" "WTF!!!" "Hey Hey Hey" "I can't see too well" "Miii~~ha~~~?" "DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD")

(Monday Night Drama, "My Lovely Sisters")

To bestow a dream...

Did you say something?

I said, "To bestow a dream..."

Say, does that phrase kinda rubs you off the wrong way?

I wonder...

It's a phrase* best said only by a limited number of people. (Note: it means a higher person bestowing dreams to someone underneath them)

Are they already calling for her?

Yuu...

I heard that Miiha has died.

What happened to Miiha?

She accidentally fell during a live broadcast.

What do you mean "died"?

Mikiko-san, why break it to her before filming?

Yuuko... Just focus on the shooting now.

Will you be okay?

You'll be fine, right. You're a pro.

That's not the point.

Yuu... you'll be fine, won't you?

Yes.

I'll ask Okishima-san whether you'll be wearing a mourning dress or a uniform.

What was I saying?

- Miihaa... - Not that.

Before that?

Dream?

Right... It was about a dream.

Alright. So next is this...

(Accidental death!? Popular Idol Group Nyan Girls 7, Miiha (19); Fell to her death during live broadcast of an internet show, "Tokyo Ruins")

Accidental death... Talent Miiha who fell to her death. (Accidental death!? Popular Idol Group Nyan Girls 7, Miiha (19); Fell to her death during live broadcast of an internet show, "Tokyo Ruins")

A tearful funeral.

In a web show mainly popular among younger generations...

...during their live broadcast of "Tokyo Ruins"...

"...she fell to her death in an abandoned hospital."

- "I was really surprised..." - "It was during a live broadcast, wasn't it?" - Matsuda.

Rumors say it wasn't an accident, is it true?

- "That's right." - "I'm sure the members are, too."

"Yes, the other members are extremely shocked."

It's heartrending, isn't it?

"We are now at Miiha-san's funeral." (Reporter, Miyamoto Kenichi, Metropolitan area, Morning of Today; Mourning: Miiha-san Accidental Death!! Tearful Wake)

"One by one, the other members are arriving at the funeral."

"Her sudden accident during a live show..."

"...sent huge ripples in the industry."

"Miiha..."

"For such an accident to happen..."

"Right now..."

"...we're filled with so much sorrow..."

"The members were truly shocked."

(Hata Takuya-san, Nyan Girls 7 Producer) "The members were truly shocked."

(Kosugi Kento-san, costar in the show)

(Abe Yuuko-san, Co-star in a Show)

It's quite a huge turn-out, huh. (Abe Yuuko-san, Co-star in a Show)

What's that?

Hey, why is he giving her a close-up?

Yuuchan was with her throughout their show, right?

- "Yes, they got along pretty well." - What's with that?

- "Poor thing." - Stop it.

- Well... - Should we pan away now?

Just continue with it.

Masuo's still talking about her.

This is the first time I've seen such an expression on her.

Yes.

I'm sure she's wondering how she could overcome such a thing.

- She's becoming an adult. - Should we stay with it a bit more?

I haven't seen this kind of thing before!

"Yuuko-san, can you tell us what you're feeling right now?"

"She was your friend, right?"

"Tell us how you feel please."

"What is Miiha-san for you?"

"Did you hear if Miiha-san was troubled about something?"

"Did she confide anything to you?"

"Please give us a few words."

"Miiha's dream..."

"...where did it disappear to?"

"Sorry, that's enough for now."

"Everyone, please offer incense for her too."

"Excuse us, excuse us."

"Let us through."

They were friends alright.

Her response says it all.

I wish cameras would stop showing her at a time like this.

I wonder if she wanted to keep it the usual way.

I wonder how much she's enduring the pain inside.

Just thinking about it is making me... I'm sorry.

I lost track of what we were talking about.

- Roll the CM! - Yes!

CM is rolling!

Masuo-san...

"Miiha's dream... where did it disappear to?"

("During "Gogo no Okusama", Masuo Jintaro Weeps Unexpectedly!!"; "Idol Miiha's Accidental Death, Abe Yuuko's Show of Purity Even Had the Hard-Bitten Masuo in Tears")

After this broadcast, we were inundated with requests for work. ("Nyan Girls 7 Miiha's Funeral, Abe Yuuko was Brought To Tears!" "Suddenly removing his glasses... Masuo's tears had the studio in a buzz")

This footage of hers has also been circulating everywhere.

Okay, yes, thanks.

Maybe it's better if she rests for awhile.

No, I think she'll get over it better by working hard.

This period right now of increased exposure will help boost her up.

"Everyone, please offer incense for her too."

Yuu...

It's bad to put Miiha's death to waste.

Ah, good. That's it, that's it.

Okay, good.

She's cute.

When I eat, I'm the type who gets fat.

Yes, I do get fat.

How do you see yourself 10 years from now?

Maybe, married?

Yes, yes...

As usual, you're doing great.

Can you move your hand a bit more?

This is for a front cover so make it work, Yuu.

(Lupi Love Ensemble)

(Keizo's Fashion Check: Anticipated Spring Ensemble)

I want! Also, for Aya too. (Keizo's Fashion Check: Anticipated Spring Ensemble)

Stop it. I don't use stuff for teens.

Thank you for your perceptive comments as well.

Okay, that was good.

Yuu, come here for a sec.

Don't let that girl outtalk you.

She's been stealing the limelight ever since before.

Because she's been banking on her "half" act. You understand?

Yes.

Do better.

Yes, understood.

(Carrot Flower)

Look here. It's not just the facial expression... you didn't give her a line.

If she doesn't say anything, the meaning will not be conveyed.

Is that so...

Are you okay?

You don't look well.

I'm fine.

It's okay to rest a bit but...

...you don't have the time for that, too?

I feel a bit more at ease if I have work.

I see.

I want to rest for just 5 seconds.

- Let me see it. - It's fine.

Um, what was the question again?

- What's your favorite food? - Food...

If they don't see Yuuchan on TV, they won't watch, you know.

Thank you very much. Just feel free to call us.

Just now, our ratings went down a little.

Don't worry. Yuu has become an important, influential person so...

Okay, then. We'll be counting on you.

Oh, Matsuda.

This is our director, Matsuda.

He's now the current director of Masuo-san's show.

We hope to work well with you.

It's been a while.

Okay, what do have here? World heritages.

Guests, we want you to go to a World Heritage site, and here's your invitation.

You're tapping too much. Too much. You'll break it you know.

Okay, let's go. Fastest finger first, start!

There's something off about her energy.

- We can't use this, can we? - Okayama?

- Yamaguchi! - Correct!

Okay.

We'll be under your care.

- Understood. - Yuu.

You're getting dark circles under your eyes.

- Thank you very much. - Please get some sleep.

Okay.

Yes, we'll be looking forward to it.

(Maybe she's shaved lol Sorry Sorry ♪) Yes, we'll be looking forward to it.

Yes, have a good night.

Mikiko-san, it has finally come.

What has come?

We have received an offer for a CM from "Cosme Flower".

Really?

Yuuko, the time has come.

Yuu, look out your window.

Finally, you've climbed up that far.

With this, I have produced a star.

This will probably boost up my position to the top of this industry.

"Produced", what does that mean?

You can't sleep?

I feel sorry for you since you're alone.

Thought maybe we could talk.

Thanks.

But you have to wake up early tomorrow.

That's not what I meant.

I want to talk about going home to Akihama where Dad is.

He's also staying with Sara, right?

Also, he doesn't get impatient, right?

We're all so funny.

Even though we only have the house in Akihama to go home to...

...we're all avoiding that place.

Yuu...

That's the only thing you say.

Are you forever going to think of me as Yuuchan?

You didn't come this far on your own.

We both struggled together, didn't we?

But we were able to get here because of Miiha's death.

We used a person's death as a springboard to popularity!

Everyone's having fun with it.

The one who's having the most fun is you!

When you sound like a spoiled brat like that...

...the carpet will be pulled from under you and you'll disappear in an instant.

If ever that time comes, what's (and who's) going to be left with you?

I'm Mako-chan. (Subusubu Idol Blog ~Nekoreko Observation Diary~ Mako-chan)

Sorry for the mess.

- I'll get you some tea. - Okay.

Watch this while you wait.

- "It made me feel down, of course." - This was taken by a fan of hers.

"I got removed from my MC position in the show."

"A person like Yuuchan, I guess..."

"...finally found a place that for someone like me..."

"...is a springboard where one can easily soar upwards."

- What are you going to use Miiha's past data for? - "But..."

"I want to soar like Yuuko."

Here is the summary of the average audience rating of each station.

The numbers written in red is the difference between us and the top raters... (Each Station's Average Viewing Rate (July 2014): JBC's ratings: Whole day = 7.7; Prime Time = 12.7; Golden Time: 12.1...)

That won't do at all.

HBS at the third column there, seems to be reveling in their ratings.

We will set fire underneath them, and for sure our prime time programs will...

I specifically want to know how we can reverse that 0.4 difference.

This is not the time to be spent listening to your resolve.

Yes, ma'am.

What HBS Special are we going to take on?

Well...

It's still too early...

(HBS' End of the Year Special: Mecha-Mecha Nuketeru! "What a Fool We Are" All-Star Dream Competition SP)

Where did you get this?

Ogino-san...

We've been desperately doing our research.

Are we going to speculate about HBS and GTV capturing the ratings?

Or are we going to focus on how we'll boost our own ratings?

If you have something concrete to show, you'll be able to raise the morale of the site.

I'll get on it as soon as possible.

We have to wait some more.
