Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night Episode 3
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.

02:55This?
02:59No-no.
03:00Like this!
03:02This?
03:03Yeah!
03:07Hello there!
03:08Anybody here?
03:10Oh, there she is!
03:12I heard this was going to be a meeting about jelly, but you're cleaning?
03:17Well, you see...
03:20Um...
03:24So that's why we were practicing dancing while we clean up.
03:27Apparently her part does an entertaining dance.
03:30Maybe I shouldn't have volunteered for it after all.
03:33Come on, don't say that!
03:35The way you're trying something new, I will admit, I super duper love that.
03:42You're so quick to use the word love!
03:45Yeah, she's right! And to be honest, I'm a little hurt you've never said it to me.
03:50Hey, I love you too, babe!
03:54I totally love you too!
03:57What is up with this?
03:59Wow, that's quite amazing!
04:01I know! Our Yoru's got some mad skills, right?
04:05So you really aren't her manager?
04:07You've gotta let that go.
04:09But really, isn't everything about it just the best?
04:12Right? It's amazing!
04:15Um, it's a token of my feelings.
04:18I, um, wrote this song yesterday in one sitting.
04:21I put music to the lyrics you gave me based on how I see you now, Nono-tan.
04:26Can I listen to it?
04:38Totally nailed it!
04:41Okay then, all we have to do is record the song!
04:44Right!
04:45And then for the music video, we'll use...
04:52Don't you kinda wanna see her dancing in the video?
04:55Huh? Seriously, you and your crazy ideas. Right, Mei?
04:59I would totally love to see that!
05:01Huh? She's a yes man!
05:03But I don't know who could make a video like that.
05:07Wait, I do!
05:11Hey, stop it!
05:22Hmm...
05:23It's ridiculously cute.
05:26Isn't it though?
05:27The cutest!
05:29Hey there! I'm Natsuryu Misaki!
05:33Oh wow, a real VTuber!
05:35Um, it's a pleasure to meet you!
05:38Same here!
05:39So you're the former Papaya?
05:41That's right! I'm Kano Yamanouchi!
05:43Oh, you can drop the formalities.
05:46I just mean, we're probably the same age.
05:49Oh wow, we are?
05:50Okay, got it.
05:52So hey, do you mind telling me how you two know each other?
05:55Well, we're childhood friends.
05:57That's right.
05:58I looked up to Kiwi, she was my superhero when I was a kid.
06:03Superhero?
06:06Yo, we get to use this now!
06:10And hey you, I heard from others your name is Kiwi.
06:14What a weird name.
06:15You must be jealous!
06:17A weird name like mine means there's only one of me in the whole wide world!
06:22Wait, what?
06:23And you three jerks, what might your names be?
06:29Don't wanna say, but I can say mine!
06:32What does that even matter?
06:34You're not supposed to tell your name to strangers anyway!
06:37Kiwi, what a say! Kiwi, what a say! Kiwi, what a say!
06:41The awesome name of this world's main event!
06:43Justice shall prevail!
06:45Huh?
06:46Yeah, and she's not only a Vtuber, but also the student council president at Tatekita High.
06:52No way! You mean the one with the super cute school uniform?
06:56Oh, really?
06:57Yes!
06:58I never knew.
07:01Although, I think it's more famous for being a major prep school.
07:05Wow!
07:06So, what can this guy do for you, huh?
07:10Well, it's just...
07:12Okay, I see.
07:14So, what do you think?
07:16To be honest, that's not gonna be super easy.
07:18Uh, okay.
07:20But, well, here!
07:23Huh?
07:26An A.M.P. like this would be doable with a few drawings.
07:29I guess you'd call it a music video in your case.
07:32Oh, wow! Did you make this yourself?
07:35Well, yeah. I remixed the music for it, too, actually.
07:39Huh? Is there anything you can't do?
07:42Isn't she amazing?
07:44Why are you bragging about it?
07:46Anyway, I know you're busy and it might be too much to ask, but we could really use your help.
07:52Sure.
07:54What?
07:55No prep!
07:56Yeah!
07:57I'm so glad!
07:59This is a really huge win!
08:01We're counting on you, Kiwi!
08:03Yeah, thank you so much!
08:08It's a pretty sweet song.
08:09Thanks.
08:10What do you think about a video?
08:12Can you maybe send me a few more drawings?
08:14You know, with different expressions and poses.
08:17Sure, how many would you need?
08:19Well, for a video this long, I'd say...
08:23I should be able to work with five or so.
08:26Got it.
08:27For the background, I guess we could use free images?
08:31Oh, I'll do them!
08:32But you know, I was just thinking, it isn't like you to agree to help.
08:37I know how busy you are.
08:39That's true.
08:41So, I was wondering why.
08:44I just felt like it.
08:46Does it really matter why?
08:48Hm.
08:51Three...
08:52Two...
08:53One!
08:54Okay, no more answers!
08:56Ah, 82% would have been up all night?
08:59On a Monday?
09:00Way too many of you are neats!
09:02Anyway, unlike you all, I've gotta go to school!
09:05Goodbye, world!
09:19Huh?
09:20I told them I earn enough from my Super Chats!
09:49Hm.
09:58$10,835.
10:01Small pay, please.
10:04Thank you very much!
10:06Hm?
10:17Why?
10:20I'm back, peeps!
10:22So listen, I got so pissed off at school today...
10:28The usual, please.
10:29Um, isn't this your second time here?
10:32Here.
10:33You're amazing, Nonotan!
10:34You're such a pro!
10:36I wonder if QA will come to my school fair.
10:39What?
10:40Why wouldn't she?
10:41Aren't you childhood friends?
10:43Yeah, but...
10:44We actually haven't met up once since we started high school.
10:48So for two whole years, then?
10:50I went to see her, but she is always so busy.
10:54Your play's on the second day, right?
10:56Yeah.
10:57I wish that she'd come watch you dance, Yoru.
10:59Stop it, no teasing!
11:01This story...
11:02Amano Iwato, was it?
11:04Why does your part do that weird dance in the first place?
11:07Um...
11:09Why was it again?
11:10Due to circumstances, the sun goddess Amaterasu
11:14shuts herself in the Amano Iwato cave.
11:17Yeah, that's right.
11:19Uh-huh, and because of that, the sun is gone.
11:23So the other gods put on fun music and weird dancing
11:26to try and entice Amaterasu to come out.
11:29In Miss Mahiru's role, Amano Uzume,
11:34she dances while exposing her breast and other intimate areas.
11:38This is the part I'm playing?
11:42Welcome!
11:49Come to the Haunted House!
11:54Two tickets, please!
11:55Sure!
11:56Oh, these uniforms.
11:59Um, are you from Tatekita High?
12:02Yes, we are.
12:03Hey, we're second years, too!
12:05Oh, really?
12:07Yeah.
12:08If that's the case, you know a girl named Watase?
12:11Watase?
12:12You know, the really energetic, cool girl who's student council president?
12:17Our president's name is Mizoguchi, though.
12:20Huh?
12:21Hey, maybe she's talking about Kiwi Watase.
12:24Oh, the one who stopped coming to school.
12:27Huh?
12:33A group of five of us went to a diner today,
12:36and the bill was exactly 7,777 yen!
12:40Isn't that a miracle?
12:42Wow, yeah. I mean, that's wild.
12:45Isn't it?
12:46And then at the all-you-can-drink beverage station?
12:49Hey.
12:50Huh?
12:51Today...
12:53was the first day of my school fair,
12:55and while I was there selling tickets,
12:57I met some girls from your school.
13:01You mean you heard?
13:04Yeah.
13:07Uh...
13:09Uh, so...
13:11I... see.
13:18And why'd you say that?
13:21What?
13:23Then why'd you say that's wild?
13:25You just said that while we were talking!
13:28Did you say that thinking, what a liar?!
13:30No way! That's not what I meant!
13:32You just go along with what anyone says!
13:51I am Yuka Saito.
13:52Now that I am in middle school,
13:54I promise I will study harder.
13:56Okay, next.
13:58Heya there, classmates!
14:01Nice to meet y'all.
14:03This guy's name is...
14:05Kyu Iwate!
14:06The world's biggest main event!
14:09I fully intend to make this class one heck of a party,
14:12so leave it to this guy!
14:15Uh...
14:18Okay, you've got some good energy.
14:21All right, let's move on.
14:28So, isn't this super cool?
14:32Huh?
14:34Why?
14:35She boosts her energy with a fast spin!
14:40What's happening?
14:42I don't get it.
14:45Kyuie, what am I gonna do now?
14:47I haven't been able to make friends with any of my new classmates!
14:51I'm worried my middle school debut is a fail for my first day!
14:56You still can't do anything without me, can you?
14:59I'm sorry, Kyuie.
15:02You still can't do anything without me, can you?
15:06You're so right, I can't!
15:08Me, on the other hand...
15:10Uh-huh?
15:11I handled everything great!
15:13I can already tell I'm gonna be super popular at school!
15:16Wow...
15:17You really are amazing, Kyuie.
15:20I can see it.
15:23I'm gonna conquer the world!
15:25What are you, a kid?
15:26It's so cringy, right?
15:28I'm the main event!
15:30A woman calling herself a guy?
15:32Wow, that's painful!
15:34That's too funny!
15:36Life's hard.
15:38Life's hard.
15:40It's so hard!
15:44I never changed anything about me!
15:47If anything changed, it's everyone else!
16:01I'm sorry!
16:05Watch where you're going!
16:08You're actually pretty cute.
16:10You on your own?
16:12Don't look at me like that!
16:18Why, damn it!
16:20You're the ones who are wrong!
16:30Back then...
16:32She used to always tag along with me.
16:37But I guess that's it for now.
16:45I don't belong anywhere anymore!
16:55I remember!
16:58I remember her!
17:00Don't peek at my screen without asking!
17:02It's Kyuie!
17:03She was so fun!
17:05I wish she'd come hang out again.
17:10That's it!
17:15Hey, y'all!
17:17We're both here now!
17:19Yoru!
17:21Kano, don't call me Yoru here!
17:24But why not?
17:25You are Yoru, right?
17:27Hey, who is that?
17:28Dunno, but she's super cute, right?
17:31Today's the day, isn't it?
17:34The very first play I get to watch with you, Nono-chan!
17:37I can't wait!
17:38Hey, um...
17:39I have a little favor to ask the both of you.
17:42And now, following the dance club...
17:45We will have class 2-1 in a performance of a modern-day Amano Iwato.
17:51Huh?
17:52Oh!
17:53The script is by Mr. Muranishi!
17:56Um...
17:58Please welcome them!
18:10And then, the next one to approach the rock was Amano Uzume.
18:16Mahiru?
18:21Hmm...
18:23Oh, come on out! Come on out!
18:26La la la la la la la!
18:29Oh, come on out! Come on out!
18:32La la la la la la la!
18:35Come on out! Come on out!
18:38La la la la la la la!
18:41What in the world is she doing?
18:43Goddess Amaterasu!
18:45Please come out of that dark place you're in!
18:49If you just keep shedding yourself away like this...
18:52Then my world...
18:55My world...
18:58Remains in the dark!
19:02And so, Amano Uzume danced with all her might.
19:06Please come out. Please come out, she prayed.
19:09For you are her son.
19:12Because to me, you are the only superhero I look up to!
19:19Okay.
19:23They made me stay until the afterparty.
19:25Well, you were the star of the show!
19:27I laughed so hard!
19:29Your cursed dance was just wonderful!
19:32Thanks for the...
19:34Oh, huh?
19:36It's from Kiwi.
19:37She got it done already?
19:39Let's watch it right now!
19:40Yeah, okay.
19:43Wait a sec, do you hear that?
19:45It has a whole lot more instruments!
19:52Did you see my dance?
19:54Yeah, I did.
19:56You sucked pretty bad.
19:59Guess I'm not cut out for it.
20:02Well...
20:04I guess I'll have to go.
20:06See you later.
20:08Guess I'm not cut out for it.
20:11Well...
20:13Sorry, that I lied.
20:16And for what I said to you, too.
20:18That's okay.
20:20Hey, Kiwi, do you know what I've always liked about you?
20:23What your best quality is?
20:25The way everyone loved me, and how I shined with awesomeness, right?
20:29But the real me isn't that.
20:31You're wrong.
20:33No matter who was watching, you pretended like you were invincible.
20:38With total confidence, too.
20:41Even if you were always lying.
20:43Even if you made everything up.
20:46I know that in the end, you'll nail the landing.
20:49Like a true hero.
20:51My hero?
20:53We watched the music video! It was super cool!
20:56And the music is, too!
20:57Really?
20:58I never thought you could make that song so exciting!
21:01Of course!
21:02Well, obviously.
21:04What else would you expect from a legend like me?
21:07I told you she's amazing.
21:09Like I said, you don't have bragging rights.
21:12Oh, right.
21:18So yeah, I couldn't let that slide.
21:24Anyway, promotion time!
21:26My very best friend is drawing some dope-ass art in a group called Jelly,
21:30and their video's dropping at midnight!
21:32And yours truly did the video and the sound mixing!
21:36I've pasted the link in the description.
21:38Actually, the music video's about to start!
21:41Countdown to midnight in 3...
21:442...
21:451!
21:46I'm the strongest girl!
21:58I'm the strongest girl!
22:00夢と希望で胸が光る
22:02ほらこんなに世界は輝いてる
22:05それは君がくれた
22:07魔法の力
22:09まるで宝石みたいだ
22:12私 雲より高く足掻き
22:15空を自由に泳ぎまわる
22:17神様に怒られてしまうほどに
22:20それは君がくれた
22:22不思議な力
22:24どこにいても行ける気がした
22:27Even if I'm made a fool of for being just a drawing
22:32If I keep drawing myself
22:35I should be able to turn into a light
22:39that shines on someone
22:42I'm the strongest girl!
22:44There's nothing to be afraid of
22:46Because I've found the missing pieces
22:50I won't lose to anyone anymore
22:52Even if I'm made a fool of for being just a drawing
22:57Even if I'm made a fool of for being just a drawing
23:02Even if I'm made a fool of for being just a drawing
23:05I can go on with you
23:09Come on, let's dance at the top of the world
23:23Can I help you, ma'am?
23:29What the...
23:31Wait...
23:34Kiwi?
23:35Heya!
23:37Your hair is pink?
