1. Ow...
Copy !req
2. Let's improve our speed together!
Copy !req
3. Go!
Copy !req
4. There's a lake up ahead!
Copy !req
5. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!
Copy !req
6. The first two racers will run carrying these,
Copy !req
7. and the team that reaches
the goal first wins.
Copy !req
8. Go!
Copy !req
9. Hey! Why are you flying?
Copy !req
10. Same goes for you!
Copy !req
11. Meow!
Copy !req
12. Meow! Meow!
Copy !req
13. I had no idea she was so fast...
Copy !req
14. Why'd you come to save me?
Copy !req
15. What did I tell you?
I'm the fastest land animal there is!
Copy !req
16. Meow!
Copy !req
17. We've searched all this time
and still can't find them.
Copy !req
18. A "human," huh? Where could it be?
Copy !req
19. Alma-san, what is that
you're singing so happily?
Copy !req
20. What? You don't know it, Sen-chan?
Copy !req
21. It's PPP's latest song!
Copy !req
22. That's not what I meant!
Copy !req
23. Is this really an appropriate
time for singing?
Copy !req
24. You need to search for clues with me.
Copy !req
25. I know, but...
Copy !req
26. What's the matter?
Copy !req
27. Those might be someone's tracks!
Copy !req
28. No, no. They're just ruts.
Copy !req
29. No animal makes tracks like those.
Copy !req
30. They're leading that way! Let's follow them!
Copy !req
31. Wait a minute!
Copy !req
32. Yep, it looks just the same!
Copy !req
33. You must've drawn this one right here.
Copy !req
34. Yeah.
Copy !req
35. It says "Live Stage."
Copy !req
36. Is that the place the Professor talked about?
Copy !req
37. Yeah. She said to look for
someone named Margay here.
Copy !req
38. I wonder if one of these is her...
Copy !req
39. Hey, excuse me!
Copy !req
40. Yes? What can I do for you?
Copy !req
41. We'd like to ask you something.
Copy !req
42. Are you...
Copy !req
43. Ah, never mind...
Copy !req
44. Do you know these girls?
Copy !req
45. Huh?
Copy !req
46. If you do, could you tell us about them?
Copy !req
47. Are you... being serious?
Copy !req
48. Huh?
Copy !req
49. Looks like she doesn't know them.
Copy !req
50. Of course I know them!
Copy !req
51. This is the super famous idol group, PPP!
Copy !req
52. Pappeppy?
Copy !req
53. That's "PPP"!
Copy !req
54. And I'm their manager, Margay.
Copy !req
55. Oh, you're Margay-san?
Copy !req
56. So where is this Peppypoo group?
Copy !req
57. It's "PPP"!
Copy !req
58. They're busy preparing to perform
their new song in concert.
Copy !req
59. Concert?
Copy !req
60. I think that's where people dance
and sing in front of an audience.
Copy !req
61. Wow, that sounds like fun!
Copy !req
62. That's not all there is to our concerts!
Copy !req
63. We arrange lots of different
surprises every time.
Copy !req
64. This one will be particularly amazing!
Copy !req
65. Oh, I know!
Copy !req
66. Why don't you all take part
in the audition, too?
Copy !req
67. Audition?
Copy !req
68. Ahem! So, as you can see,
Copy !req
69. we have a great crowd here today,
and that makes me very happy.
Copy !req
70. Now, before today's concert by PPP,
whose concerts always offer something extra,
Copy !req
71. we'll be presenting a play as an opening act!
Copy !req
72. What's a play?
Copy !req
73. No idea.
Copy !req
74. It's kind of like playing pretend.
Copy !req
75. You become someone you're not.
Copy !req
76. Playing pretend?
Copy !req
77. The story is an epic tale based on
a legend about warriors of old,
Copy !req
78. filled with action that will
leave you breathless!
Copy !req
79. That sounds so cool!
Copy !req
80. And we'll be holding auditions to
choose the actors in this play.
Copy !req
81. This will be your chance to
appear on stage with PPP!
Copy !req
82. Everyone, please do your best!
Copy !req
83. All right! Let's do this!
Copy !req
84. Why are you all geared up to be in this?
Copy !req
85. Um, we're...
Copy !req
86. We'll be taking questions later.
Copy !req
87. Now, first entrant, please come up on stage.
Copy !req
88. Hello. I'm Raccoon Dog.
Copy !req
89. So, what are you going to show us?
Copy !req
90. Okay, here goes!
Copy !req
91. Hup!
Copy !req
92. Um... What is this?
Copy !req
93. I'm playing dead.
Copy !req
94. I'm Puffin! Thanks for having me!
Copy !req
95. Um, my talent is flying with
a Japari bun in my mouth.
Copy !req
96. Like this!
Copy !req
97. You can't say any lines like that, though...
Copy !req
98. Huh?
Copy !req
99. I am Crested Ibis...
Copy !req
100. Yes, that will be enough!
Copy !req
101. Maybe it's because I didn't
drink Alpaca-san's tea...
Copy !req
102. Finally, I'd like to ask you all this question.
Copy !req
103. Why did you take part in this audition?
Copy !req
104. Um, well... I heard that I could get a
limited-edition Japari bun for entering!
Copy !req
105. Huh?
Copy !req
106. Same here.
Copy !req
107. Same.
Copy !req
108. I see. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
109. Please accept your Japari buns and go.
Copy !req
110. Yay!
Copy !req
111. All right! I guess we're next!
Copy !req
112. The next group of entrants
will need to wait for a bit.
Copy !req
113. I need a break.
Copy !req
114. Huh?
Copy !req
115. I just can't find anyone good...
Copy !req
116. Margay, got a second?
Copy !req
117. What is it, Princess-san?
Copy !req
118. We're starting to get a bit worried.
Copy !req
119. Don't worry! The play itself will be fantastic!
Copy !req
120. Not about the play.
Copy !req
121. It's the concert.
Copy !req
122. We're not sure we've perfected
the singing and steps yet.
Copy !req
123. It's our new song, after all.
Copy !req
124. We want a little more practice.
Copy !req
125. We're hungry, too.
Copy !req
126. Of course. Very well, then.
Copy !req
127. You can leave the auditions to me
and go back to your practice.
Copy !req
128. Okay, we'll leave it to you.
Copy !req
129. Let's go, girls.
Copy !req
130. Yeah.
Copy !req
131. Right! I have to try harder!
Copy !req
132. Um...
Copy !req
133. I'm sorry! We'll resume
the auditions right away.
Copy !req
134. Not that. We're actually...
Copy !req
135. What? You know the Professor?
Copy !req
136. Yes.
Copy !req
137. I'm so grateful for everything
she and her Assistant do!
Copy !req
138. They always come up with ideas to make
sure our audiences don't get bored.
Copy !req
139. The idea to hold a play before the concert
came from the Professor, too.
Copy !req
140. I thought it'd be a great way to broaden
the scope of PPP's activities!
Copy !req
141. What sort of play are you going to do?
Copy !req
142. It's based on this.
The Professor lent it to me.
Copy !req
143. What is it?
Copy !req
144. That's quite an old book.
Copy !req
145. It's a story about penguin warriors.
Copy !req
146. Doesn't it fit PPP's image perfectly?
Copy !req
147. You're right.
Copy !req
148. I wanna do it, too!
Copy !req
149. We didn't come here to be in a play.
Copy !req
150. That's right. I'm actually
looking for my house.
Copy !req
151. House?
Copy !req
152. Yeah. A house is a place where humans live.
Copy !req
153. Humans? You're a human?
Copy !req
154. Yeah.
Copy !req
155. If you're looking for something,
you can try asking PPP's fans.
Copy !req
156. Maybe they can help you.
Copy !req
157. They're all very kind.
Copy !req
158. Really? Thanks!
Copy !req
159. In exchange, I'd like to ask a favor of you all.
Copy !req
160. Let our voices cross land, sea,
and sky to reach you
Copy !req
161. No matter where we are,
this is our place to come back to
Copy !req
162. Now it's your turn to take flight
Copy !req
163. Your turn!
Copy !req
164. Stop!
Copy !req
165. Hululu, you got that part wrong again.
Copy !req
166. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
167. We need to practice more!
Copy !req
168. My legs can't take any more.
Copy !req
169. Let's take a break.
Copy !req
170. How is that going to help?
There's still play rehearsal, too!
Copy !req
171. Sorry to keep you all waiting!
Copy !req
172. Allow me to introduce you.
Copy !req
173. These are the ones who'll
perform our opening act.
Copy !req
174. Hiya!
Copy !req
175. H-Hello.
Copy !req
176. You're the superior talents
who passed the audition?
Copy !req
177. W-Well, I guess so.
Copy !req
178. What unique talents do you have?
Copy !req
179. Well...
Copy !req
180. Pretend-hunting!
Copy !req
181. Now, shall we begin
play rehearsal right away?
Copy !req
182. First, the two of you will act along
with my reading of the story.
Copy !req
183. Are you ready?
Copy !req
184. Y-Yes.
Copy !req
185. Yay! We're acting!
Copy !req
186. "This story takes place a long, long time ago.
Copy !req
187. A human and a Friend were playing
together happily in the park."
Copy !req
188. Go!
Copy !req
189. Huh?
Copy !req
190. Not "Huh"! Play together happily!
Copy !req
191. Go!
Copy !req
192. That's so out of the blue...
Copy !req
193. What should we do?
Copy !req
194. Well, maybe... laugh and jump around?
Copy !req
195. Laugh and jump?
Copy !req
196. That doesn't seem quite right... Oh, well.
Copy !req
197. "But then, one day,
a terrifying Cerulean appeared."
Copy !req
198. C-Cerulean? Where?
Copy !req
199. That means you! Come over here!
Copy !req
200. Oh, right!
Copy !req
201. "The Cerulean attacked
the human and the Friend!
Copy !req
202. The two of them ran away." Go!
Copy !req
203. Run away, you two!
Copy !req
204. Don't laugh while running away!
Copy !req
205. "The Cerulean stood in the middle of
the park as if it owned the place.
Copy !req
206. What a detestable fiend!"
Copy !req
207. Well, excuse me!
Copy !req
208. "But just then,
Copy !req
209. five proud warriors arrived in the park!"
Copy !req
210. Warriors?
Copy !req
211. Does that mean us?
Copy !req
212. "Yes! They were the legendary warriors
who would bring light to a dark world!"
Copy !req
213. Go for it!
Copy !req
214. H-Hi there.
Copy !req
215. Pardon us.
Copy !req
216. No, no! Be bolder!
Copy !req
217. E-Easy for you to say...
Copy !req
218. It's kind of hard to do anything, huh?
Copy !req
219. Let's continue.
Copy !req
220. "The terrifying Cerulean
stood before the warriors...
Copy !req
221. But the warriors worked
together to fight it!" Go!
Copy !req
222. Ow...
Copy !req
223. Everyone, are you all right?
Copy !req
224. Yes, I think so...
Copy !req
225. Oh, good...
Copy !req
226. Then let's do it one more time!
Copy !req
227. Margay, wait a second.
Copy !req
228. What's the matter?
Copy !req
229. I don't think we should
do this play, after all.
Copy !req
230. What? But...
Copy !req
231. I mean, what happens if we get hurt
and can't put on our concert?
Copy !req
232. Well...
Copy !req
233. We're happy that you come up
with so many ideas for us,
Copy !req
234. but I don't think we need them this time.
Copy !req
235. We're idols.
Copy !req
236. Showing everyone perfect singing
and dancing should come first.
Copy !req
237. You're right... Very well.
Copy !req
238. Okay, everyone, back to practicing the song.
Copy !req
239. Right!
Copy !req
240. Sheesh. Looks like we won't
have a part in this, after all.
Copy !req
241. Aw, but I was having fun.
Copy !req
242. Margay-san?
Copy !req
243. Oh, it's you.
Copy !req
244. Don't worry. I'll still ask the fans
if they know about your house.
Copy !req
245. Thank you, but... are you all right?
Copy !req
246. Me?
Copy !req
247. Actually, before I was their manager,
I was PPP's number one fan.
Copy !req
248. Watching them perform gave me
such courage and strength.
Copy !req
249. At that time, they truly looked like
those five legendary warriors to me!
Copy !req
250. That's why I wanted to put on this play,
Copy !req
251. but trying to support PPP only
ended up dragging them down.
Copy !req
252. Things just don't work out sometimes...
Copy !req
253. I envy you, though.
Copy !req
254. I mean, you found the place
where you belong, right?
Copy !req
255. Hey, let us help with the concert, too!
Copy !req
256. I feel bad just having you help me,
Copy !req
257. and I'd like to see what a concert
is really like firsthand.
Copy !req
258. I wanna see Pippypoo's concert, too!
Copy !req
259. No, it's Peppypoo!
Copy !req
260. You're both wrong! It's PPP!
Copy !req
261. Thank you all.
Copy !req
262. Thanks to you, I've started to feel
like I need to work even harder
Copy !req
263. to show everyone how amazing PPP is!
Copy !req
264. Bye!
Copy !req
265. I don't know what just happened,
but I guess it's good.
Copy !req
266. Yep!
Copy !req
267. Yeah.
Copy !req
268. I wonder who's going to be
the opening act now.
Copy !req
269. I heard it'll be some unusual
creature called a human.
Copy !req
270. A human, huh? That's unusual, indeed.
Copy !req
271. Excuse me.
Copy !req
272. Could you tell me more about
what you were just saying?
Copy !req
273. Looks like all the guests are here.
Copy !req
274. Not a bad crowd.
Copy !req
275. I'm getting kinda nervous...
Copy !req
276. Why? It's not like you'll be on stage.
Copy !req
277. Hey, where are the girls?
Copy !req
278. That's strange. They should be here by now...
Copy !req
279. I told you,
Copy !req
280. we don't know anything about any human!
Copy !req
281. No, they're supposed to
appear in today's play!
Copy !req
282. Tell the truth!
Copy !req
283. The play was canceled!
Copy !req
284. You need to leave now!
It's time for our set!
Copy !req
285. You can't fool us! I bet one of your
members is the human in disguise!
Copy !req
286. Huh?
Copy !req
287. Show yourself! Is it you?
Copy !req
288. Ow, ow, ow!
Copy !req
289. Stop!
Copy !req
290. Stop this, all of you!
Copy !req
291. They're late...
Copy !req
292. When's it going to start?
Copy !req
293. We should try calling them.
Copy !req
294. Yeah.
Copy !req
295. PPP! PPP!
Copy !req
296. PPP! PPP! PPP! PPP! PPP!
Copy !req
297. The crowd is getting restless!
What should we do?
Copy !req
298. PPP! PPP! PPP! PPP! PPP!
Copy !req
299. Hey, I think we should do the play, after all.
Copy !req
300. Yeah, let's!
Copy !req
301. What? But...
Copy !req
302. You want to support the
members of PPP, don't you?
Copy !req
303. "This story takes place a long, long time ago."
Copy !req
304. Something's starting!
Copy !req
305. "A human and a Friend were playing
together happily in the park."
Copy !req
306. I'm so nervous...
Copy !req
307. Let's go! One, two...
Copy !req
308. Yay!
Copy !req
309. Who's that?
Copy !req
310. Where's PPP?
Copy !req
311. "But then, one day,
a terrifying Cerulean appeared."
Copy !req
312. Huh?
Copy !req
313. Oh, no! I won't make it in time!
Copy !req
314. What's going on?
Copy !req
315. Something doesn't seem right.
Copy !req
316. Oh, good! There she is!
Copy !req
317. "The Cerulean attacked
the human and the Friend!
Copy !req
318. The two of them ran away."
Copy !req
319. Caracal's taking this too far!
Copy !req
320. What did I do, now?
Copy !req
321. Why are you over there, Caracal?
Copy !req
322. I haven't come out on stage yet.
Copy !req
323. Then that thing on the stage...
Copy !req
324. Could it be...
Copy !req
325. A real one?
Copy !req
326. "The Cerulean rampaged all around the park.
Copy !req
327. The human and Friend could
do nothing but run away."
Copy !req
328. This is really intense!
Copy !req
329. That Cerulean looks so real!
Copy !req
330. It's time to get serious!
Copy !req
331. "The Cerulean stood in the middle of
the park as if it owned the place.
Copy !req
332. What a detestable fiend!"
Copy !req
333. Stop!
Copy !req
334. Something doesn't seem right...
Is it my imagination?
Copy !req
335. Sorry!
Copy !req
336. We're here now, Margay!
Copy !req
337. Thank goodness! Please go
ahead and take the stage!
Copy !req
338. Got it.
Copy !req
339. "But just then, five proud
warriors arrived in the park!"
Copy !req
340. Let our voices cross land, sea,
and sky to reach you
Copy !req
341. No matter where we are,
this is our place to come back to
Copy !req
342. Now it's your turn to take flight
Copy !req
343. Your turn!
Copy !req
344. As long as I'm with you,
the weather doesn't matter
Copy !req
345. We'll dive in like never before and take off
Copy !req
346. Whether or not you change
the present is up to you
Copy !req
347. Let's go!
Copy !req
348. Pippypoo? No! PPP, go, go!
Copy !req
349. I'll take care of things here,
just leave it to me
Copy !req
350. You just keep moving forward
Copy !req
351. Reach out your hand to the skies
Copy !req
352. That belong to no one
Copy !req
353. We were all born and raised
in different places
Copy !req
354. But now we fight back-to-back
Copy !req
355. Because we have a place to go home to
Copy !req
356. We can be strong
Copy !req
357. So let's move forward
Copy !req
358. At a speed that no one can reach,
past, present, or future
Copy !req
359. We'll take hold of our dream
and laugh together
Copy !req
360. This is the place where
our dream will come true
Copy !req
361. Someday we'll fly
Copy !req
362. Into the sky that I showed you
Copy !req
363. I'll make it so awesome, you won't believe it
Copy !req
364. Now you can point the way
there with your wings
Copy !req
365. Around and round!
Copy !req
366. PPP, yes! PPP, go, go!
Copy !req
367. Never give up
Copy !req
368. We are PPP, PPP
Copy !req
369. Great show, everyone!
Copy !req
370. The audience really seemed to love it!
Copy !req
371. It's all thanks to the scene you set, Margay.
Copy !req
372. Huh?
Copy !req
373. Sorry for those things we said.
I hope you'll continue to help us.
Copy !req
374. Princess...
Copy !req
375. We need to thank those other three, too.
Copy !req
376. Oh, here they come.
Copy !req
377. Hey, have you seen Kyururu-chan?
Copy !req
378. We got separated after the concert.
Copy !req
379. Come to think of it, before the concert,
Copy !req
380. some weirdos were here saying
they were looking for a human.
Copy !req
381. We told them we didn't know anyone like that...
Copy !req
382. Huh?
Copy !req
383. Come on! Let me out of here!
Copy !req
384. We finally found you. We're not
letting you get away again!
Copy !req
385. Where are you taking me?
Copy !req
386. To a Friend who's been waiting
to see you for a long time.
Copy !req
387. Huh?
Copy !req
388. I'll finally get to see you...
Copy !req
389. I've waited so long for this day...
Copy !req
390. This looks like an incident.
Copy !req
391. What's the incident, Sensei?
Copy !req
392. Look at this.
Copy !req
393. The manuscript is blank.
Copy !req
394. Someone may have stolen
the completed manuscript.
Copy !req
395. But it's been blank ever since you got here...
Copy !req
396. Shh!
Copy !req
397. We won't get any good ideas
by stressing over it.
Copy !req
