Mahiru Kouzuki, a skilled artist, gives up on her passion after her elementary school classmates ridicule her colorful jellyfish mural. Several years later, upon encountering an unexpected admirer in Kano Yamanouchi, a former idol with a troubled past, Mahiru decides to pursue her childhood dreams once more. Tasked with designing the mascot for Kano's new music project, JELEE, Mahiru enlists the help of her childhood friend and professional streamer Kiui Watase to make JELEE's first music video. Together with Kim Anouk Mei Takanashi, a pianist and fan of Kano's work as an idol, the girls aim to turn JELEE into a global hit. However, if they want to succeed in this ambitious endeavor, they will first have to free themselves from the shackles of their pasts.

00:01I messed up the beginning.

08:47I'm sorry.
08:49I'm sorry.
08:51I'm sorry.
08:53Is something wrong?
09:03I'm sure she'll realize and get in touch.
09:06She already tracked down your job after all.
09:08Can we really count on that?
09:10Maybe there's something in here.
09:11What if I find something disturbing,
09:13like a recorder or a spy camera?
09:19Is this a recorder?
09:20Calm down.
09:24Calm down.
09:33That music.
09:34That's my colorful moonlight.
09:36What a cool arrangement.
09:37Yes, much cooler than mine.
09:40She must have done this,
09:42right?
09:46Geez, I really suck, huh?
09:48Suck?
09:49She loved me this much for real,
09:51I was so cold to her. I don't deserve to be an idol, but you quit, right?
09:57Well, sure, but it's just that me wanting to care about my fans hasn't changed at all
10:05Well, that's because that's you Kano, what do you mean I know I'm Kano. Oh, yeah, of course
10:13Is this the Sun Dolls to
10:17Kano
10:22Kano, that really sounds super cool.
10:26I agree. I want to talk to her again
10:29about this song too
10:31But I think there's a bunch of things I have to ask her. Do you think you'll get to?
10:36She really seemed obsessed with the old you, Kano
10:40May Kim Anuk Takanashi? She might refuse, but I really must talk to her
10:48Um, hello, I'm supposed to be a superhero. Whatever. That's all for today. Okay. Goodbye, world!
10:59Wow, so you really started drawing again? Hmm. Thanks for the advice when you're so busy with your channel and with student council
11:08You don't have to worry about me. More importantly, who's going to compose the music? Yeah, about that
11:17Heya!
11:19Oh, my favorite artist in her uniform!
11:21What a rare treat.
11:23Hey there, Kano. I wear this five times a week. You, on the other hand, stand out too much if we're trying to catch her by surprise.
11:31Well, I hardly go to school at all, so...
11:35Hold it, Takanashi!
11:37Takanashi?
11:39What's with this sports jacket you have on?
11:41She's wearing yours!
11:43What? Hey!
11:46I'm so sorry!
11:48Well, I don't mind as long as I get it back, but I actually wanted to-
11:51Hey, um, you wore this back in your idol days, didn't you?
11:55What? Yeah, I've had this thing around for ages.
11:58I knew it! During Sundance's fourth appearance on the Idol Station show, you were wearing this.
12:02And that's when Meryl almost messed up choreo and you stepped in to cover for her, right?
12:04I realized then that you can sing, dance, and also take care of everyone around you, that you're an idol in the truest sense!
12:08And when I remembered...
12:10About this piece...
12:12I composed it, but...
12:14I just...
12:15I thought so!
12:16And to be completely honest, I really like it!
12:20Do you know what we're doing as Jelly now?
12:22Yes! Starting with that takeover in Shibuya, you're going to post songs online as an anonymous artist with a jellyfish motif!
12:29This girl knows everything.
12:31No need to explain then!
12:33Takanashi, could you please compose a song for Jelly?
12:38And just who will be singing that song?
12:41Well, me of course!
12:44By saying me of course, who do you mean?
12:49Who I am now.
12:51Jelly's vocalist!
12:54Kano Yamanochi will sing it!
12:56But I won't!
12:57I am very sorry!
12:58Nonaka Tachibana's gone. Forever.
13:04You've forgotten.
13:07Having you as Miss Yamanochi sing along with my music betrays my expectations.
13:15I'm sorry to disappoint you.
13:17Miss Yamanochi.
13:19And your manager too.
13:20I'm not her manager though.
13:23It's time. I have an exam to take.
13:26Please excuse me.
13:36And there she goes.
13:38An exam she said?
13:39I forgot to give these back!
13:41What are you doing?
13:43I spilled that.
13:45Huh?
13:47This hair color seems a bit...
13:54Twelve seconds and thirty years.
13:57How come you can't do this?
13:59The third years will be the focus of attention.
14:02Try again.
14:04I hope that this year will be a fruitful one with no regrets.
14:09For you and all of the people around you.
14:11Um, that's my seat.
14:14Listen Miss Takanashi, can you switch seats with me?
14:17Uh, but...
14:18Look, we're all seated around your desk.
14:21That's gotta be awkward for you, right?
14:23It's fine. You don't have to worry about me.
14:26Okay, cute, but that's not what I mean.
14:29Hey, give her a break.
14:30She's pretty bad at reading social cues, you know?
14:32Um, I'm sorry.
14:34Who cares anyway? Let's go.
14:37What a weird name.
14:38Hey, Kim will hear you!
14:40I wish I could tie my hair like that.
15:01The next day
15:14How pretty.
15:17Nice to meet you.
15:19With a sunny smile, I pull the group along.
15:22I'm the leader of the Sunflower Dolls, Nonoka a.k.a. Nono-tan.
15:31A fan who's a girl! That makes me happy!
15:34So what's your name?
15:36It's, um, Kim.
15:38What a weird name.
15:40Kim... Kimura!
15:42Kimura, is it? Nice to meet you.
15:44I gotta say, you're so tall, your hair's awesome, and you have such an attractive face!
15:49What's your deal?
15:50You're simply the cutest girl I've ever met in my life, Kimura!
15:54Yeah, right. I bet you tell everyone that.
15:57That retort wasn't cute, doll!
15:59I mean, I get a lot of flack about my hair, and I really don't have any friends.
16:06You don't have any friends, Kimura?
16:08Why do you sound so happy about that?
16:11Because I don't have any friends either!
16:13Even though you're so pretty?
16:15I mean, like that matters.
16:17But what about the others over there?
16:19We're just in the same group.
16:21To tell the truth, I have trouble fitting in with the others here.
16:25Especially her. We're always fighting.
16:27Oh, I see.
16:31See? I had lessons every day as a kid, and I didn't get to go to school that much.
16:36Some people were jealous, so I never made friends.
16:39But, I'm not gonna give in.
16:43Or whatever!
16:47And I won't either!
16:48I've always been like this, and never got along with anyone at all.
16:53So, I've always been alone.
16:56Well then I would guess, we're pretty similar.
16:59Huh? We're similar?
17:03Hey, do you have anything you super duper love, Kimura?
17:07Something I love? Um, let me think.
17:10I've been playing piano since I was a little girl, but I'm not sure I love it.
17:14You play the piano?
17:16What? Yes!
17:19Then someday when you have a concert, I'll go listen to you!
17:22You can count on it!
17:25Really?
17:27Of course! I'll be there for you!
17:29Because I promised myself that I'd never let my fans be all alone!
17:36So trust me, you'll be just fine.
17:38And even if you don't have friends, or anything you love,
17:41remember, me and all my songs will never let you feel alone.
17:46I promise.
17:48Alright!
17:53I just found it!
17:55Huh?
17:56Just now, I found something I love!
18:01Hey Mei, do you want the usual?
18:03No ma'am, I don't.
18:05Today I want to become the thing I love!
18:11Nonaka Tachibana's gone, forever.
18:15It's okay.
18:17It's just back to how things were before.
18:20I was always alone anyway.
18:22I was always...
18:24different from everyone else.
18:36Come on, Mei's gonna start!
18:38If you're a student here to listen, please be quiet!
18:40I came to keep my promise, Kira!
18:43You're not alone!
18:45Please, Kano!
18:50Amazing...
18:52My idol came to hear me perform!
19:14Huh?
19:16My two favorites next to each other!
19:21Yes!
19:37Excuse me, that's my seat, alright?
19:40Oh, uh...
19:42What?
19:43Are you standing up for yourself?
19:52Thank you everyone!
19:54Now let's go to the next song!
19:56Nonoka! Nonoka! Nonoka! Nonoka!
20:05Is it true that you resorted to violence?
20:07Did you have issues with Mei Roseto from before?
20:09What's Producer Yukide's stance on the matter?
20:12I'm sorry.
20:39Nonoka!
20:47Nonoka!
20:53Your performance was amazing, Kimura.
20:57Thank you, Nonoka!
20:59You know, I wrote so many songs for you!
21:03Oh, thank you.
21:05And I... I want to join you too!
21:08Will you then... sing the songs I write?
21:13Thank you for letting me join.
21:15I'm Kimura, a.k.a. Mei Kim Anook Takanashi.
21:19Yay!
21:20That's really great, but I thought who I am now betrays your expectations.
21:24No problem!
21:25You see, I've decided to support Nonoka and Kano.
21:29In other words, Nono-tan as a whole package!
21:32Nono-tan as a package?
21:34Still, visually, your image packet was just the best!
21:37Nono-tan! Look, not your hair black again!
21:39I'm gonna go check out the stuff over here.
21:43That's awesome. You get to be friends with your idol.
21:46I'm her friend? You think so?
21:49Aren't you?
21:50Uh, but I...
21:52Hey, Yoru!
21:54What do you think of this mic?
21:56Yeah, let's see.
22:00We don't have to spend any more than 10,000 yen on the mic and audio interface, according to Kiwi.
22:05Who's Kiwi?
22:06Me and my idol? Friends?
22:11Have we earned enough, though?
22:14Yeah!
22:21This betrays all my expectations!
22:36When will you let go?
22:38Because it'll be too long
22:41I'll tell you with a short song
22:44From the night I found you
22:47The rhythm began to accelerate
22:54One day, just 24 hours
22:59It's not enough at all
23:02I can't catch up to the night
23:06The morning is coming
23:09Just one more hour
23:12I want to gaze at the moon
23:16I want to spend the same time as you
23:21If I fall in love with the present
23:25The future will go up a little
23:28I was waiting for tomorrow like that
