TV Anime "Love Love! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club" Concurrent Story Ep. 10: Formidable First-Years!
One day, at practice, Kasumi becomes passionate about needing some secret, intense training in order to be a match against her powerful rivals, the older Nijigasaki club members.
Rina
I-I don't think I can last any longer… Rina-chan Board says, “Flop.”
Shizuku
Eek! Rina, are you okay?!
Kasumi
Stand up, Rinako! You've still got more fight left in you!
Rina
I-I'll try my best…
Shizuku
Kasumi, you're taking things a little too far today. It's not like your usual self.
Shizuku
Are you plotting something again?
Kasumi
I'm not plotting anything! I'm just gonna be tougher than any drill sergeant today!
Shizuku
So why are we suddenly doing a boot camp?
Kasumi
Because! We've got Setsuna whose mere existence oozes school idol flair, the ridiculously positive Ai, and—while I don't wanna admit it—Ayumu's got that whole leading lady vibe.
Kasumi
Then we've got Emma and her super calming powers, Karin with her mature allure and great dance skills, as well as Kanata in that world of hers that she pulls off so convincingly.
Kasumi
Our rivals are way too powerful! We need to get this kind of secret intense training done to really stand out way, way, waaay more than we currently are!
Rina
I see. Thanks for inviting us to this secret intense training instead of just doing it on your own, Kasumi.
Shizuku
*Giggle* I bet you only asked us because you'd feel lonely training on your own, huh?
Kasumi
Sh-Shizuko!
[Fade in/out.]
Kasumi
I-I can't move anymore… I'm done now… Rinako, grab that juice there for me.
Rina
Which do you want? Orange or apple?
Shizuku
Hmph, Rina! You're being too nice to Kasumi! We're all just as tired as you are, Kasumi, so get it together!
Kasumi
Awww, now you're the unforgiving drill sergeant, Shizuko!
Kasumi
Well, you're getting a big, fat “hmph!” from me! I'm all powered up so I've still got the energy to move. Time for a juice break.
Kasumi
What do you two want?
Rina
Orange.
Shizuku
Apple.
Kasumi
Here you go!
[Fade in/out.]
Kasumi
Ahhh! That hit the spot! Hey, since we're having a secret sleepover after our secret intense training session, let's share some secrets!
Rina
Secrets? Like how I stay up all night playing games at home?
Shizuku
*Giggle* While that is your own kind of secret, I don't think that's what Kasumi was angling for.
Shizuku
My secret is that…it's my ambition to become such an inspiring school idol that I leave everyone in the club stunned.
Kasumi
Oh, your “ambition,” huh? Are you copying Setsuna?
Shizuku
Th-That's not…not true. I do look up to Setsuna.
Kasumi
Yeah, I totally get you! My ambition is to make everyone in the club get so fired up they call out, “Kasumin!” along with my fans at one of my live shows.
Rina
Mine is to become a school idol who can make friends with everyone and connect with people around the world.
Kasumi
Shizuko, Rinako! Let's all do our very best to make sure we don't lose out to the second and third years!
Shizuku, Rina
Yeah!
