Episode 10: Idol Fest

The idol festival that comes once a year!

You favorite and your friend's favorite will all make an appearance!

Men's Idol Fest!

W-we're going to this?

We're suddenly going to the Champions League!

It's been slow going but we've been gaining fans.

Though most of them are Kakizaki's fans.

Tehe!

It's a good opportunity to get fans of other idols to know about us!

But with so many groups we might not get noticed...

We need to do something stand out.

Like fire breathing.

What about juggling?

What about jumping through fire?

Sanada-san, you like juggling, right?

Eh? Me?

Please be serious!

Pretty much the whole MenFest audience will be there to see the kings of idols, Gentlemen!

Childish tricks won't work on those connoisseurs!

What we need to do is seriously try to perform at our top level!

I agree.

There will be a lot of people who will be seeing us for the first time.

We need to show them the sweetness that hides within us.

Umm...

What is it?

I can't get back what was inside, but at least let me give you a pass case!

Please use this!

No thank you. I don't care anymore.

But...

You shouldn't be worrying about that now!

Shouldn't you start getting ready for MenFest?

I'm going to tell Yamanaka-san that you've been eating potato chips in bed.

What? You knew?

Who's photo was in it?

It's bedtime.

Please turn off the light.

This is a really big event!

The staff entrance is over here!

No! We're idols!

Wasn't that weird? We stand out so much!

When you see the sparkle in my eyes you know I'm an idol, don't you?

But everyone really is young...

We have our own kind of charm.

That's right!

And don't forget that our senpai, Gentlemen, are the same age as us!

GENTLEMEN

Ouch...

Woa-woa-woah!

Be careful.

Thank... you.

Ah! You're from StoLove!

Eternal Boys!

Be careful not to get hurt before you perform, old men.

So they're performing too.

I won't lose to them!

Okay, here you are.

This is... a storage room, isn't it?

I'm sorry, we have a lot of groups performing this year...

The signal doesn't really reach down here, so when it's your turn this will ring!

Ah... Okay...

What is this?

Don't let it get down, we're newbies so it can't be helped!

But StoLove are newbies too!

What do you think, Ishida-san?

You're all so relaxed...

It's almost time for us to perform!

Do you plan to stand on the stage with that attitude?

First, Sanada!

Eh? ...Yes?

You always start smiling when you start singing. Smile when you first come out!

Next, Yamanaka-san! Your face is scary when you pose!

Please try to look cooler!

He's even more fired up than usual.

That's all for that rehearsal! Next artist, please.

Asai-san, think about the position of the cameras!

Imagawa-san, pay more attention to your surroundings!

Kakizaki, no notes!

Hold on a minute!

We're all nervous since it's a big performance!

We practiced a lot, so we should just enjo-...

This isn't the time to say that!

This is THE Men's Idol Fest!

"The"?

Ah!

I have a headache.

I'm going to the restroom.

Isn't Ishida-san... acting kinda weird?

GENTLEMEN

Calm down, calm down...

Man! Gentlemen is on a whole other level!

I definitely met eyes with them just now!

What should we do? Do you think they'll watch us perform?

Did I look cute just now?

Sorry, I was too busy looking at myself.

Sanada... you look like you're about to puke.

It's okay, I haven't eaten anything today.

By the way, isn't Ishida taking a long time?

I'll go check on him!

Sorry I took so long.

Aren't his right arm and leg moving at the same time?

It's our turn!

♪ We've been drawn in ♪

♪ by the eternal youth ♪

♪ but you can always start running towards it again ♪

♪ no matter when you do it! ♪

Fuu-chan!

♪ Let's get started (Woah yeah) ♪

♪ Don't worry (Woah yeah) ♪

♪ We understand (Woah yeah) ♪

♪ It doesn't matter if you had come to a standstill ♪

For how I'm feeling today, I should watch the concert where they miraculously covered a mistake!

This is why Gentlemen's so good! It gives me goosebumps!

♪ but you can always start running towards it again ♪

♪ no matter when you do it! ♪

A Gentlemen fan?!

You are Ishida-san?

I've been a Gentlemen fan, especially a Fuu-chan fan, for 24 years now.

I've come to MenFest since the first time it was held so this is my 11th time here.

Who's "Fuu-chan?"

It's their leader, Souda Sawao, right?

I had a picture I took with him when I was in middle school in a pass case,

and never let it leave my side.

My high school entrance exams, college entrance exams, and my teaching exams...

it was with me through everything.

Ah!

My life would be nothing without Gentlemen.

But today, because of that enthusiasm for them I lost sight of myself,

and when I saw him in person right in front of me, my mind went blank.

I cause you all so much trouble.

I'm so ashamed!

You were really criticizing us...

Eh? Ah...

I'm a failure as a professional!

Th-that's enough! Please get up!

And while I know I have no place to talk since I caused so much trouble!

The way you covered for me was miraculous! You were amazing as idols!

I too want to become an idol that I would want to support!

Then, for your future reference, you should learn by watching.

♪ Swinging, swooshing, and swaying the petals dance in the wind ♪

♪ On the hill with the pink blossoms, the melody builds ♪

Wow! They were seriously shining!

I can't believe they're the same age as us!

Eternal Boys?

Huh?

Ah!

Nice to meet you! I'm Souda Sawao from Gentlemen.

You did great today.

I've been curious about you ever since I saw your dance cover video.

Especially, umm... Ishida-san?

Eh?

You really watch me well, don't you?

I'm honored!

I'm honored!

Umm...

Hm?

Why the Fleming rule pose?

Because of this.

It's the first picture I took with Fuu-chan.

Ah! It's the same pose!

Wow, you look so stiff, Ishida-san!

You were in middle school, right?

Hey, wait a second, isn't that the photo I threw away?

It's not like I'd only have one copy of such an important picture!

Ehh?! But I felt so bad about it!

Hey, look!

#ETERNALBOYS #I hope to see you in the future

Isn't that great?

It's not great.

Huh?

Don't you get it?! This means that Souda Sawao Soda from Gentlemen knows who we are

and this is miraculous proof that we have been a part of his life!

Please be thankful to the gods!

Oh, I see...

Look at this!

Fuu-chan has his head slightly tilted, and that means-...

He's been hiding his true self this whole time...

But I guess this means he's opened up a little more now.

Okay, you can stop for now.

Why? I can still tell you so much about Fuu-chan!

Friends! Oh, friends!

Friends! Oh, friends!
