01x08 - F/ACE and the Summer Vacation

Post by bunniefuu »

It's summer!

There's watermelons! Ice cream!

And barbecues!

Sounds like you just want to eat!

Well, duh!

Did you guys put on your sunscreen?

Yup!

Yes!

An idol's skin is their life!

I always immediately turn bright red.

This is so fun and exciting.

Even Rintaro looks like he's having fun.

Mm.

Also, Rintaro, your arms are huge!

Look at those muscles!

Ooh!

And actually, I've been working out, too.

Hey! That's public indecency!

Jeez, would you guys calm down?

It's already hot as is!

You're all so full of energy.

And so, it's begun. Ready, and

F/ACE's Super Exciting Summer Vacation!

Yay!

Wow, you're all so unique.

Maybe you guys don't even need a script.

Thank you.

I can't believe you're actually directing

one of F/ACE's shows, Arimoto-san.

Freelance Director

Yuu Arimoto

Arimoto-san.

Apparently, he's a famous

director in the business.

Actually, I'm pretty

interested in Tamon-kun.

When a guy like that messes up,

it makes for great TV.

Depending on what's featured, the agency

might have to reject some footage.

There are a total of

fifteen staff members.

The only ones who know

about Tamon-kun's real nature

I'm just kidding. We'll do our jobs

and get plenty of footage.

are Fujita-san and myself.

Tamon-kun

I hope he can stay Hottiehara-kun

for three days and two nights.

After I graduate high school,

I'm gonna get my license,

and I'll be the one driving next year!

Well, I look forward to that.

Hey!! It's just like sweeet magic!! Aha!

Hi, it's me!

The one with that k*ller smile!

Stealing your gaze with a shocking style!

Smooth as ever, I escort you

And this voice, seducing you

Ah, come on, let's dance;

I'm aiming straight for your heart

I am your ace darlin'

Confidence? Yeah, I've got plenty

Please Please

Whisper just to me, call my name

You're too popular,

it drives me crazy and I'm not okay

But I'm sorry, losing's not my thing

Hey, girl

Look this way!

I see your smile, smile, smile,

I wanna make it all mine

Crash, crash, crash,

our special connection shines

Dance, dance,

our world is non-stop groovin'

I'll show you my perfect

A-side, side, side

And my private B-side, side, side;

I'll show you everything

So take my hand and let's roll

Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!

Sweetie honey Sweetie honey

Sweetie honey Sweetie honey

It's a spell that makes your heart race

We can't go back

You're falling in love with me, c'mon!

Sweetie honey

Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!

First comes rock! Rock, paper, scissors!

Aw, I lost.

F/ACE and the Summer Vacation

Natsuki, you'll be the ref.

Okay!

Okay, let's split up into teams.

I mustn't look directly

at heaven on earth.

Here I go!

Is this the Louvre for beautiful faces?!

The British Museum of fine bodies?!

That's one point.

The Shoso-in of bursting smiles?!

My very own personal World Expo has begun!

And cut!

Sorry about that!

Are you hurt at all?

Um are you okay?

Jugemu, Jugemu Goko no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo no Suigyomatsu Unraimatsu Furaimatsu Kuunerutokoro ni Sumutokoro Yaburakoji no Burakoji Paipopaipo Paipo no Shuringan Shuringan no Gurindai Gurindai no Ponpokopi no Ponpokona no Chokyumei no Chosuke.

Jugemu, Jugemu Goko no Surikire

Kaijarisuigyo no Suigyomatsu

Unraimatsu Furaimatsu

Yaburakoji no Burakoji

Paipopaipo Paipo no Shuringan

Gurindai no Ponpokopi no Ponpokona

no Chokyumei no Chosuke.

Here you go.

Thanks.

I have to do my best

to make sure Keito-kun doesn't

decide that I'm a crazy fan.

Kinoshita-san, could you take this?

Right away!

That chick is only fawning

over Tamon as usual

I guess it's better than acting

like that towards anyone.

We're going to start rolling again!

Okay!

I want someone like that

to have feelings for me!

Tamon!

It's all good!

Dang it!

Have feelings for me?

Great job, everyone.

We'll resume sh**ting at 6 PM,

so everyone take a break until then.

Okay!

We'll be heading back to our rooms now.

Great job, everyone!

You, too!

Great job!

Kinoshita-san.

Yes?

I'm sure the boys are all tired,

so could you go check on them?

Yes, sir!

It's me, Kinoshita.

I've brought some snacks

Balloon

Flower

Did you come to sneak into our beds?

I'd be less obvious if I did.

Stop crying! God, you're annoying!

Hngh

I'm so sorry!

What happened?

My face just won't move anymore

I was just yelling at them both because

they didn't want to leave their room.

We're still on day one!

What about the sh**t after this?

Pull yourselves together!

Waaah! He yelled at me!

I said shut up, you dumbass!

Please stop!

It's not like his face muscles are going

to recover just by you yelling at him!

Well, my face is exhausted from keeping

a slight smile on my face the whole time,

so what am I supposed to do?!

Ta

Tamon-kun Smile Please!!

Tamon

A foldout fan?!

Tamon-kun, please smile!

Smile! Please!

Yes, oh, smile!

If it's for you, my priceless smile

will cost you 0 yen.

Let's keep this up just a little longer!

Are you guys with me, my bros?

Of course.

You don't need to tell us twice.

Perfectly cooked.

This looks so good!

How many skewers do you want, Rintaro?

Okay!

Hey, can I roast some marshmallows?

That's a dessert, so not yet.

Let's roast some veggies

that are great for your skin.

Boo, you meanie.

You're older than me, so please

don't say such childish things.

All right, you two.

Let's eat in peace, okay?

Everyone's so professional.

I can't believe they're

the same people from earlier.

Okay.

This one's ready.

How is it, Rintaro? Is it good?

Yeah. It's good.

And cut! That's a wrap on day one!

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

I'll go ahead and take these.

Oh, I'll help, too!

Hey, thanks!

Then could you put these away

in the storage shed behind the gym?

Right!

Today's sh**t was so much fun!

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, too!

I'm also

That bath felt great.

Hello?

It's me.

Who?

I said it's me, damn it! Figure it out!

You forgot your damn fan,

so come to the room now to get it!

You've got ten seconds.

Th-That selfish gorilla

It's me, Kinoshita.

Come in.

Wha—?!

Why are you dressed like that?!

Well, you said to come over now.

I'm sorry that I'm not

exactly presentable right now.

I-I-I never said you were unpresentable!

Where's Gloomyhara-san?

Probably taking a bath.

How would I know?!

Ta

Tamon

Come over here!

Hmph!

I'm sorry. I brought so many with me

that I didn't notice I was missing one.

You brought more than one?!

Yes. I tried to account for every issue

Gloomyhara-san could run into during camp

and prepared all the variations I could.

Don't Die

Don't Run Away

Cameras Aren't Scary

Gross! You're so, so creepily gross!

Because of these?

Damn it! She's so tenacious!

No one is this dedicated!

Hey!

Keito-kun?!

That woman didn't sneak in here, did she?

Balloon

Flower

Get lost.

I guess I don't see her. But be careful.

Fans are the devil.

Seriously, what the hell happened?

Um

I figured if he saw you,

it'd cause you trouble.

Oh Thank you very much

Seriously

Why's it gotta be him and not me?

By "him," do you mean Tamon-kun?

Huh?! U-Uh, I

I'm not sure how to respond.

My feelings for Tamon-kun are just

so great that it's hard to explain,

so can I just read these sutras

I compiled over the last two years?

What the hell is that?!

I don't even want to hear

a sentence of that!

If you're done here,

then get the hell out!

You big dummy!

I can't believe he called me

over just for this.

Kinoshita-san?!

Ta

Tamon

Huh? Gloomyhara-san?

Why do you have that on your face?

I dislike having to bathe with

other people, so I'm exhausted

Yet you can barely keep your clothes on

when you're Hottiehara-kun.

Oh, sorry you have to see me like this.

I forgot my fan and

Sakaguchi-san summoned me.

Ouri-kun did?

Is that Darkhara-san?!

I just went to get my fan!

Er, no, I mean

Were you okay?

I'm sorry?

I asked if you'd come along

Thinking back on it now,

it was really annoying of me to ask.

I'm sorry that

I was only thinking of myself.

What?

I know this work is new to you.

Have you been doing okay?

Has Ouri-kun been impossible

to deal with at all?

Has Keito-kun been mean again?

Oh, I'm totally fine!

You just need to worry

about yourself, Gloomyhara-san!

That's why I came along

as your housekeeper.

Farewell!

The most nutritious part

of a fish is their bones.

Yup. Like calcium and iron.

Sardines and mackerel are actually

quite delicious down to their bones.

I don't like bones, though.

Why couldn't they be born boneless?

I'll eat every bit of 'em!

That's just red snapper,

so it's not going to work!

Wait, really?

And

Cut

And cut!

Fortune

Big Curse

Let's see

some PDA!

This is the last scene for day two!

We'll be sh**ting a test of courage!

Let's all give it our best!

Can someone who's free go check

on the speakers in storage?

Yes! I can go check!

Could you split up into

groups of two and three?

Is everything ready?

Yes, sir!

I can't seem to find them

Did I check the wrong place?

Huh?

What's going on with the speakers?

I had the part-timer go check on them,

but she's not back yet.

Don't have a part-timer

do any final checks!

We're about to start sh**ting any minute!

I'll go check on her.

The speakers are in the storage shed

behind the school building, right?

Yeah. There are two storage sheds,

so go to the right one.

They're not in the one behind the gym!

Got it!

I'm so sorry about our staff.

What's up? Is there some kind of trouble?

I'll go look for her!

Huh?

Hey, Tamon! You better come right back!

Someone, please!

Why won't it open? At this rate,

the sh**t will be affected

What should I do?

What should I do?

Kinoshita-san?

Gloomyhara-san?!

Thank goodness you're safe

Gloomyhara-san.

I didn't know what I was going to do

if I found you as a corpse.

Someone! Please!

Someone, please! We're in here!

What are we going to do?

What if this door never opens again

and both the sh**t and show are ruined

and Kinoshita-san

and I end up as mummies,

and we end up finished both

socially and physically?!

This isn't good.

It'd be fine if it were just me,

but Kinoshita-san can't end up wrinkly!

Even if the sh**t resumed, he won't

go back to Hottiehara-kun after this.

I'm so sorry!

They say that I'm rejuvenating eye candy,

but that doesn't actually exist!

Please calm down. It'll be okay!

If you're missing, someone will notice

immediately and come open the door.

But what if it doesn't open?

It will!

Do you see the part-timer girl?

She's not here.

Damn it, where'd they go?

Now the sh**t's gonna

have to pause Oh.

I-It'll be okay! It'll be okay!

I'm sure everything will work out!

If Tamon-kun's sh**t gets ruined

You're not okay, are you, Kinoshita-san?

Huh? Th-That's not

What?!

You must be tired, Kinoshita-san.

I'm not, though.

You are!

There's no way you could make

those fans instantly either.

I figured you made them

after finding out

about the training camp

N-Now that you mention it,

I might be a little tired maybe?

I've been watching you more than

you realize, Kinoshita-san

Hey! Is someone in here?

If you're in there, say something!

Let's open the door.

We're here! We're in here!

I'm so sorry! I should've

been more careful.

No! The door was broken

and shut on its own!

Hey, Tamon! Are you okay?

That woman didn't try

to do anything to you, did she?

What do you even mean by that?

Er, everyone I'm sorry!

This is actually all my fault.

The storage shed behind the gym

wouldn't open from the inside, right?

I actually rigged it so that

it'd only open from the outside.

I wanted to get some footage

of Tamon-kun genuinely being surprised.

Tee-hee!

Whut?!

You don't need to do anything like that.

We'd still make sure the show

was plenty entertaining!

We'll do our very best!

I am really scared, though.

F/ACE has the absolute best members.

You can count on us.

Okay, let's do this.

Sorry to keep everyone waiting!

We'll now start the test of courage sh**t!

Thank you very much!

They're finally starting

their final sh**t.

Everything went by so fast.

There we go.

They're making you do

stuff like this, too?

Tachibana-san.

Tamon doesn't like carrots,

so remove those.

We don't want his real self peeking out.

Make sure the knives cut well, too.

He's insanely clumsy,

so he'll get hurt otherwise.

Understood.

Ugh, he's such a handful.

You must actually really

love Tamon-kun, Tachibana-san.

What?

When you compliment Tamon-kun

while you're all together as F/ACE,

that's genuine, isn't it?

Why do you think that?

Because I don't think it's possible to

move people's hearts with insincere words.

You have a lot of fans, Keito-kun.

Of course, you also have

the most fans that are so passionate

that they're a bit insane.

Tamon-kun and Ouri-kun aren't lying

when it comes to what's

the most important.

So I figured that you

were probably the same way.

I

When you're a fan, both time

and money melt away instantly.

You sure are tall, Rintaro!

There's no time to spend

anything on anyone shallow.

I'm super jealous.

Gimme some of your height.

I'm just doing this for the money.

Everyone, please get into your outfits!

We'll be right there! Let's do

our best on this last sh**t, guys!

Yeah!

Watching him pisses me off.

He's more awesome than anyone

when he's got his sh*t together.

Well, maybe you could try being

a little nicer to him?

I don't need any advice from you.

I'm the leader of F/ACE, after all.

You are.

I'm gonna go finish getting changed.

Right!

Ooh!

You're so good at cooking, Keito.

I used to help out in the kitchen

when I worked at a café.

Not to mention,

I have five little brothers,

so I'd be in a kitchen a lot

since my parents were always working.

Wait! You have five brothers?!

I've never heard that before!

What? I never told you guys?

No?!

Oh, I see.

And that's a wrap!

I didn't know what to expect

when I was told

I'd be going to this training camp, but

I think things worked out

surprisingly fine

because Tamon-kun was pretty reliable.

Gloomyhara-san!

Kinoshita-san! Are you on a break?

Yes. What are you doing?

Well

I know we're here for work,

but we came all the way to the ocean,

and I was worried that you might not

have gotten to do anything summery

so I was taking pictures of the ocean.

What?

I was going to show you later

but look.

A hermit crab?

I'm so sorry I suck at taking pictures.

I do suck, don't I?!

You don't.

I just thought this was

very much like you, Gloomyhara-san.

Th-Thank you very much.

Today, I found out why Keito-kun became

an idol for the first time.

Tachibana-san?

He always mentioned that it was

for money, but it's actually

My brothers have middle school,

high school,

and uni entrance exams coming up.

And um I wanted to

help out my parents a bit.

It was so his family could smile.

I want to do my best with Keito-kun

as the center of F/ACE.

I'll do everything I can to support

the brand new F/ACE, too!

Kinoshita-san!

So cold!

Are you okay? You should probably

change before you catch a cold.

I wouldn't catch a cold from this!

I slept like a rock

last night, so I'm fine!

Oh

You're right.

Your complexion looks much better today.

Uh huh

Na na na

Uh huh

I wonder what the world

would look like without you

When I look back,

you've always been by my side

Teaching me what "warmth"

and "happiness" feel like

A speedboat sails across the endless skies

An unwavering course,

a straight shot down the middle

An unbreakable red balloon

found nowhere else

Is this "fate"? Or just a "coincidence"?

Like a wilted flower coming back to life

A light that shines

Through the impossibly dark night

(Light of your soul)

I wanted to grasp it

(I love you so)

So I strived for it

Wanna keep going, wanna keep growing

Bringing our flowers and dreams

into full bloom
