00:00I'm gonna get chewed out again
00:02My name is Leo 26 years old lately. My job's mostly running errands
00:09Finally, we get to see the divine on a katai in person. I can't believe I get to meet the goddess herself
00:17Goddess, huh? Sure in front of her fans
00:22You're late can't even do a simple shopping errand. This is what she's really like
00:29Hey, you listening you're replaceable, you know
00:34Sorry
00:36She's the so-called goddess Anna Ikeda 20 years old center of the idol group
00:41Cozy you and I'm her manager the handshake events starting soon. So we should get moving. I
00:49Was waiting for you
00:52It's great that the group is popular
00:54But I got a step up too if I keep getting bossed around by her I'll never make it as a producer
01:02Huh
01:05Watch out
01:13Sorry, are you okay somehow Wow, is that guy your manager? He's like a hero
01:24You okay you hurt
01:28I'm good. Let's not ruin the handshake event. Can you play along with me?
01:38Sorry for the commotion, are you okay? Yeah, but you're the one who's hurt
01:48One month later
01:51It's rare to get a new member at this time I heard she's a pro at singing and dancing
01:56She took private lessons on her own dime. What is she some rich girl?
02:02This is mega Gawa our newest member play nice
02:07Nice to meet you all looking forward to working with you that girl
02:13from the handshake event
02:15Oh
02:27I'm also a huge fan of Leo
02:30Thank you so much for saving me at the handshake event. Oh
02:35You're the girl the manager sees
02:37Yes
02:38Well, where are you from? What do you do on your days off? I want to know all about you
02:46Wow
02:49Nah, it's not like that. I'm totally cool with it though
02:55So I ended up managing Meg too
02:58Her debut live show was coming up fast
03:02Even that group had a scandal
03:04Scandals are all over the place with idols lately better. Be careful since our Budokan concert is soon
03:11I'm super nervous about my first live show. You'll be fine. You've got the skills Meg
03:20You're so sweet. If you're by my side, I'll be totally fine
03:25Please always be my manager
03:27You're too close
03:29Is she really nervous?
03:34Meg
03:35Idols shouldn't be linking arms with guys, you know
03:38What?
03:39Our agency doesn't ban dating, right?
03:42Hey you two
03:45dating
03:46Are you seriously after Leo?
03:51Are you trying to make your fans cry as an idol even if it's not banned dating is
03:57If linking arms is bad
04:00What is the definition of love then, huh even just thinking about someone in your heart is a form of love I think
04:08Plus without the experience of loving someone singing love songs won't touch anyone's heart
04:16That's just nonsense
04:18By the way, have you ever been in love Anna?
04:23That reaction are you in love right now?
04:27Oh
04:28What are you talking about?
04:30Huh? Why is Anna looking at me? Wait, is she wanting me to step in?
04:37Well, yeah girls in love can be more charming but having a manager is your love interest that's a no-go
04:48It's almost time
04:51You're such a great manager
04:54You're seriously too professional sometimes
04:57wait, what's with her reaction a
05:01Few hours later after the live show. I was driving Anna home
05:05Hey, come inside for a bit. I need to talk to you
05:10Huh? That's not a good idea. What if a tabloid reporter sees us?
05:15It's about my career. Isn't that important enough your career? I'm telling you first
05:22Figure it out. I'll come in a bit later then just to be safe
05:27Gotta be super careful
05:3030 minutes later
05:32Here drink this sake looks expensive. But why?
05:38Forget that now here take the cup
05:41I'm not really into sake just drink it. Oh, okay
05:46She's even pouring it for me
05:49Thank you
05:50No need to thank me. Just tell me how it tastes
05:56It's good
05:57What is this? It has a floral aroma like white wine
06:02Right. I love it, too
06:05So good
06:07So what is this?
06:09This sake is made at my family's brewery. I have to protect this taste. So I'm quitting being an idol
06:16What?
06:18My dad the chief brewer hurt his back and can't keep going
06:22There's no one to take over
06:24Wait, you're the center of cozy you. Oh, what about the Budokan concert? I'll stay
06:31until Budokan
06:33but
06:34Of course, I love being an idol. I need to apologize to the fans, too. Then why quit?
06:41Because I want to help my family
06:44I'm super proud of this sake enough to quit being an idol to protect it
06:51So I want to make the Budokan concert the best show ever it's the culmination of everything I've overcome as an idol
06:59You've already made up your mind, huh?
07:02This impacts my career too. So I'll help as much as I can
07:06It's sad you're leaving but let's make the Budokan show a smash hit
07:12Thanks and um, there's something I need you to do for me. What is it?
07:19until the Budokan concert
07:22Be my boyfriend
07:23What I told you I want to make it the best concert ever
07:28No, wait, what do you mean?
07:31You said it yourself
07:33Girls in love are more charming. I said that but we don't need to date. I've held back for so long
07:42So just this one held back
07:46Just do it after figuring out what to do next I left Anna's place
07:53The next day the producer took it surprisingly well, yeah, I'm relieved
08:01Maybe he didn't want to clash with Anna
08:04Is it true you're quitting
08:07Yeah
08:09That's right. And from today Leo and I are a thing
08:15What
08:17Why I can't have my retirement tarnished if you come on to him. He might fall for you, right?
08:23I wouldn't cause a scandal right after joining
08:27But it's already decided right darling. Did I say that? Oh
08:32Wow
08:35Didn't you say no dating before
08:38This is special that has nothing to do with this. You said it yourself
08:43Singing about love needs real feelings
08:48If you're mad beat my popularity before I retire
08:52Then things might change
08:54Got it
08:56I'll save Laila for sure
08:58What do you mean save get away from him just what I said you back up
09:05guys
09:06Seriously, no scandals
09:08And so the fierce battle leading up to the Budokan began
09:14On dance lesson day
09:16Well was my dancing. Okay, you don't look like a newbie at all. You're keeping up with the rest
09:24Thanks
09:25Hearing that from you makes me so happy
09:29Leo
09:31Can you give me a massage?
09:33Shouldn't a pro do that then just rub my shoulders. All right. All right
09:44Leo you're great at this. Well, thanks. I've had lots of practice
09:51Another day after vocal lessons
09:54Great job. Everyone else has already left but you two are really dedicated. Here's some late-night snacks
10:00Thank you
10:02Forget that Leo
10:04Massage my shoulders. All right
10:10Well, this is part of supporting the hard-working members
10:14Wait, I've got a great idea
10:18This soup is delicious
10:20Want a sip Leo?
10:22Nah, my hands are kind of full. Oh
10:26Gotcha in that case here comes the plane
10:31What?
10:33Don't go feeding him without asking here Laila have a rice ball
10:37The intense battle between the two continued I got caught in the crossfire more times than I could count
10:44Constantly worrying about scandals and getting fired
10:49But despite everything
10:51I'm glad I'm here
10:53I'm glad I'm here
10:55I'm glad I'm here
10:57I'm glad I'm here
10:59I'm glad I'm here
11:01I'm glad I'm here
11:03I'm glad I'm here
11:05I'm glad I'm here
11:07They were always dedicated to their idol work
11:11Three days before the Budokan concert great job today. You guys are ready to rock that stage
11:20Anna
11:21Hey
11:23Geez if you're my boyfriend lend me your shoulder
11:28feeling tired
11:31Are you feeling sick a
11:34Little my throat kind of hurts
11:37Let's call it a day. We still have practice
11:40No point in pushing it and messing up the Budokan concert, right? Okay
11:46Tell Meg her right hand is dropping during the chorus. You should tell her yourself
11:52Since practice wasn't over yet other staff took Anna home a
11:56few hours later
11:58Anna you said you'd text me is Anna really that sick?
12:04Huh? Why?
12:06You look super worried. She shouldn't be giving others advice if she's not well, she should rest
12:12I don't know since she hasn't texted hope she's okay
12:18You're worried, too
12:20Fans would be sad on us always careless about her health
12:25Just like someone I know not very honest
12:29Being a pro means you got to take care of yourself
12:32But Anna's always been on point as the center of the group working hard in practice can't blame her
12:41If anyone's responsible, it's me. I'm her manager
12:45Anna was acting normal during practice today, so it's not your fault
12:50Thanks, don't worry about me. Just make sure you and Anna get along at the Budokan concert doesn't seem like it
12:57But she's been through a lot
12:59It's fine to see her as a rival, but you're also teammates plus. I want the Budokan concert to be a hit
13:06Because you want to be a producer
13:09Huh?
13:11You mentioned it before remember? Yeah, I did and I still do but
13:18Wait, it's Anna
13:23She's got a fever over a hundred and four degrees
13:29I'm going to see her I
13:31dashed out of the dance studio I
13:34Carried Anna to the hospital where she was examined by a doctor then I called the producer
13:40acute tonsillitis
13:42The antibiotics should reduce the infection in a day, but it depends on her condition for the concert
13:48What no, I understand. Yes
13:52a
13:55Budokan concert without the center and a stayed in the hospital for two days to rest
14:01Finally the day of the Budokan concert arrived
14:07But your condition
14:14Anna it's too risky for your health. Please Anna. It's my last chance
14:22I've worked so hard and now just give me a sec. I'll call the producer
14:27She still has a fever, right? If she collapses in front of the fans the agency will be held responsible
14:34Can't she just do the last song? I'll talk to the other members myself
14:38You do realize this will be on you too, right? Don't you want to be a producer someday?
14:43I can't put my dream above my job as a manager
14:47Leo all right
14:50After convincing the reluctant doctor Anna and I left the hospital
14:56Is there a shortcut no can do here running would be faster you gotta be kidding me
15:03Keep the change
15:05Hey, isn't that Anna Ikeda? No way
15:13Didn't know you had this much stamina
15:16I'm always running around for you guys
15:19Are you mad?
15:21We don't have time for this
15:23Sorry
15:24I've been such a jerk
15:26What's with this out of nowhere?
15:29I've always liked you Leo
15:31Huh? I thought about quitting being an idol so many times, but every time you were there to cheer me up
15:38Just doing my job as a manager if you hadn't been there for me. I would have quit a long time ago
15:45Uh
15:48Idols aren't supposed to fall in love
15:51So I tried to bottle up my feelings ended up acting like a jerk to you. I'm really sorry
15:57So that's what it was. I had no idea or maybe not what?
16:04Maybe I was just possessive
16:06Didn't want to lose you to the other members
16:09This must be karma
16:12What are you talking about you're about to go on stage don't get all weak now, yeah
16:18Come on, we're almost there
16:21When we got to the arena and immediately started getting ready
16:26Meg's dancing has gotten even better. She's working hard to cover for you Anna
16:32She's really taking your advice to heart
16:35Well, I do respect her skills as an idol, but only that
16:40Forget about everything else for now. Just give the fans the best show ever. Well
16:49I'm going
16:51Anna walked onto the stage to a roar of applause
16:54The concert ended successfully
16:57Anna was taken back to the hospital right after but she was okay
17:02Once she recovered Anna went around thanking and apologizing to all the members for the Budokan concert
17:08She even said sorry to Meg, but
17:11It's kind of weird having you apologizing to me Anna
17:15If you're like that, I might just steal Leo from you, you know
17:21She laughed as she said it a month later and a retired from being an idol
17:28Six months later
17:30Why didn't you come sooner? You know managers don't get time off. I
17:36Know but I was alone me
17:42Leo you have work tomorrow, too. So get back early. Okay, no sleepovers
17:51She's joking Anna you're not cheating right? It's just work I swear
18:00Just marry me already
18:02But let me become a producer first then hurry up and do it, all right
18:15Thanks for watching my channel, I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos, too
