AISubs v3.7
The script is amazing.
It's amazing.
I feel like I'm an actress.
It says it's almost 100 copies.
I was looking forward to it.
But I was scared of being handed the script.
This is a story about diamond gems aiming to become shining actresses.
I want to be famous!
I think we found a lot of good gems.
In March of this year, among 9,000 people who want to become star actresses in the future,
10 of them were selected.
They will now challenge themselves to become star actresses in front of TVS new dramas.
One-on-one acting battle!
Out of 9,000 contestants selected from all over the country,
they will compete in an one-on-one acting battle for their first TVS new drama actress debut!
Ms. Uchimori!
Yes!
It's finally starting today!
It's started, hasn't it?
Yes!
The first time!
That's right!
No matter what you say, they have no acting experience,
but in order to improve their acting skills as actresses and grow,
for the next three months, they will hold an one-on-one acting battle every week!
Yes!
What do you think?
First of all, I feel a lot of tension in the studio.
You've noticed, haven't you?
Yes!
But well, it's only when you fight amidst this tension that you'll find your way up to first place,
so I'd like you to do your best without losing to this kind of pressure.
That's right! I think you're nervous and waiting for it, aren't you?
Yes!
And it is these people who will judge them!
At the age of 19, she worked as a playwright Nemoto Syuko for a month,
and has been widely active in providing drama scripts and lyrics.
Mr. Nemoto Syuko, a playwright!
Nice to meet you!
In addition, from the TVS Drama Club,
"I Fell in Love Like a Flowerpot" directed by Doi Nobuhiro!
Nice to meet you!
And "From a Flower to a Dango" series directed by Ishii Yasaru!
Nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you, judges!
And it is these people who wrote these scripts that are truly gorgeous!
Yes!
First-class creators who have worked on numerous hit works
have written original scripts just for this show!
It's gorgeous in here, isn't it?
Yes!
Hearing this makes me a little nervous again,
but it is these people who wrote the scripts for "First Day"!
The scriptwriter Yoshikazu Okada, who has produced hits with many TV dramas so far,
will write down five original scripts just for this acting battle!
I think it's important to act in a way that doesn't make a big deal out of ordinary everyday life.
I like an actor who can do that kind of thing, so I'd like to see it.
"An Ordinary Daily Life" with Okada. How will the ten of them act?
I'm getting more and more nervous, but it's gorgeous.
I think it will be a great experience for those who can act, too.
You wrote five scripts this time, and they're all acting together.
So it's a very important point for project members to decide which role to play.
But before we record it, we decided it with rock-paper- scissors earlier.
With rock-paper-scissors!
So I might be better at acting than you are, but it might change right before you do it.
That's right. "Oh, I didn't like this one." There may be times like that.
There are times like that, and I don't know much about it, but when you're acting, you have to keep in mind not only the other person's lines, of course.
In that sense, I hope you'll be prepared for either one of them.
I'm looking forward to it.
Now, let's start the competition.
The first acting competition is between these two.
No. 3, Iinuma Ai.
Congratulations.
I'll do my best.
Iinuma Ai, 17 years old.
In high school basketball club, she's a sports girl who's the team's deputy captain.
I like Kana Hashimoto, and I don't want to be on that side of the team, but I want to try harder than anyone else.
Thank you very much.
Wow, your hair.
Wow.
It's pretty long.
I was looking forward to it a lot, but I was a little scared.
I didn't know what my opponent would do.
I thought it would change a lot if I actually had an opponent.
What do you encounter with such a dog in acting?
I've always wondered what I was.
I was eating lunch alone at the edge of the class.
Then, in Mr. Akimoto's comment, "I wonder what I am."
It says, "I want you to apply."
Oh, this is it.
Riho Okada, who wants to change herself so far, is 18 years old.
No, I'm 18 years old.
Can I see it?
When I came in, there was a description that the atmosphere would change.
There are some parts that overlap with me.
After all, I hope that my voice and facial expressions will be read in various ways if I don't make them bright.
"Iinuma Ai" vs "Riho Okada"
How will the two of them play their first play in their lives?
Let us know in the comments!
During school lunch break, Hiyori, who plays Okada-san, is having lunch with a few friends, and Sakura, who plays Iinuma-san, is also there.
But, for some reason, all of them seem to be in a strange and subtle mood when Sakura appears. What is the reason for this awkward atmosphere?
Well then, let's go. Nemoto-san, please.
Yes, well then, please. Ready, start!
But, you know, this place is...
Yes, well then, see you.
It was late, wasn't it?
Hey. What's wrong? You look so gloomy.
What were you guys talking about earlier?
Oh, no, we weren't talking much.
You were talking about me, weren't you? I know you were.
When I came in, you obviously changed your mood.
You looked like you were like, "Oh no, she's here."
Everyone knew about it.
No, no, we weren't talking bad about you or anything like that.
You worry too much about it.
I worry about it. Of course I do.
Then, what were you guys talking about? Tell me.
No, we weren't talking much.
See, you can't say it.
You were talking bad about me, weren't you? Where? Where is it wrong about me?
I'll fix it for you, so tell me.
Hey, I don't like that kind of thing.
Cut it out. It's not like that.
What's not like it? Tell me.
I don't like it.
Huh? You don't like it?
It's not like it. You're sneaking around like that.
Tell me clearly. If you have something you want to say.
There are things you can't say.
I knew it.
What is it you can't say?
Tell me. Tell me everything.
I told you it's not funny.
It's not funny or not funny.
I don't like being kept secret.
It's annoying.
Anyway, tell me.
Nothing will happen.
I was planning a surprise for Sakura's birthday.
Got it?
Why...are you saying it?
It's a surprise.
It's not a surprise anymore.
It's not good at all.
It's not funny.
I told you it's not funny.
What?
It's not good.
Are you serious?
You know...
What?
You know...
I like you.
What's that?
Sorry.
Thank you!
Now, everyone, please judge.
Yes, thank you!
Now, I'll take a little time to judge and take my time.
In the meantime, thank you for your hard work!
Thank you!
Today's first match!
That's what it was like, but first of all, Ainuma.
How was it?
Well...
That's right.
Before I went in, I wasn't that nervous.
But when I sat down and said, "Ready, go!"
My heart was pounding a little.
I thought my voice was shaking a little.
But from my point of view...
To be honest, you two didn't feel nervous at all, did you?
By the way, Okada, how was it?
No, when I sat down, I could only hear the sound of my heart.
I didn't know what to do.
But when it started, it was fun.
For example, after you got the script...
How many times did you read it over and over again and practice?
From the day I got it...
I've been using my spare time every day.
I've been doing it for days.
- Yes. - Yes.
Now, please give us the rules for the screening announcement.
Yes.
Now, for this screening...
As an act for this script...
Please judge which one was better for you.
So, if you think it's Ainuma-san, press red.
And if you think it's Okada-san, press blue.
Now, it looks like we have the results.
Now, let's go!
Ainuma-san and Okada Riho-san's fight...
The judges are...
Red! Inuma-san and Ai-san win!
And so, all of the judges voted for Inuma-san for red.
Let's hear what they have to say.
Doi-san!
Yes!
Inuma-san, what is the result?
I think both of you were really nervous.
When you appeared and stood there, Inuma-san,
I felt like the world was spinning around you.
What about Okada-san?
I think Okada-san has a lot of personality.
Looking at each of your profiles,
I think you'll be able to show your personality more and more in the future.
Today is your first time, so you're still trying hard to say your lines and act.
I think you'll be able to show more of your personality in the future.
Thank you.
Sanemo-san!
Yes!
I was really confused, but you both were very attractive.
First of all, I thought you both understood your roles and had to do what you had to do,
and I thought you understood your roles and had to do what you had to do,
but there was a line where you were planning a surprise for Okada-san.
There's a line that changes your mood.
I don't think it was a bad thing.
I think you could have changed it up a little more.
I think you have a lot of things you can pull out of you,
so I think it's better for you to not be afraid of changing things up.
Inuma-san had a responsibility to do what she had to do throughout her role.
I'll vote for you.
Thank you.
Ishii-san, please.
Yes!
I think you two were very nervous in "Top Pattern."
First of all, I don't know if you're aware of it or not, but you were able to receive the opponent properly.
I think that's my evaluation point.
The play is called "catch ball," and it's a line where you receive the ball the opponent throws you and return it as you receive it.
That's what Inuma-san felt.
Okada-san and Okada-san, I think you have a very natural and wonderful thing,
so I hope you will cherish it.
Iinuma-san told me that I can receive it.
I can receive it!
First of all, Iinuma-san.
This is the result.
How do you feel about listening to the judges' comments?
That's right.
I received an evaluation that I can receive it and catch the ball.
I also took great care of it when I was acting.
I'm really happy that I got this result and got an evaluation.
So you're glad that you were able to convey what you've been preparing for.
Yes.
Now, Okada-san.
Yes.
After all, this is the result.
It's frustrating and I think I could have done better.
But based on the advice I've just received, I'll do my best to win next time.
Yes.
Anyway, you two came first in this first round.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you.
Thank you both.
Please go back.
Yua Mikami's performance
I'm a little nervous.
I thought Ai was good.
It was 3-0.
I'm a little sad that I couldn't perform as well as you did.
Until now, when I saw you for the first time in a play, I thought you were fun and I liked your play.
I've been watching you since you were a first-class judge.
I want you to win and lose.
I don't want to lose.
I definitely don't want to lose.
The next battle is between these two.
When I was about to lose, you cheered me up every day.
Thank you for cheering me up.
Kanami Hijioka.
Kanami Hijioka, 19 years old.
Congratulations!
The other two are...
Hana Akou. I'm 15 years old. I'm from near Koushien Baseball Stadium in Shogo Prefecture.
Hana Akou, 15 years old.
These two are going to perform...
This is love, isn't it?
A delicate love story that brings feelings to the same- sex friends.
I'd like to try it, but I don't know how I feel about it.
I'd like to watch and study complicated love dramas.
I'd like to be able to act like this about love between girls now.
I'd like to be able to act like I'm really happy and I can get into it.
How will they act in this complicated love drama?
Okay, here's the setting.
At a cafe with friends,
Ako plays Hikari, who successfully confesses her love to someone she likes.
They end up dating.
On the other hand, Sayaka, who plays Hijioka, who blesses Hikari,
seems somewhat complicated.
In fact, Sayaka secretly had feelings for Hikari.
Different feelings for each other.
Difficult love whereabouts.
That's the story.
Let's do it.
Ishii-san, please.
I'll do it.
Ready, go!
It's like a miracle for someone you like to like you.
That's why I'm happy.
I see.
Yes, it's like a miracle.
Miracles don't happen to me.
Why?
Anything.
Don't give up, Sayaka.
Shut up.
Anyway, miracles don't happen to me.
They don't happen in this world.
One-sided love doesn't work.
I don't know about that.
Do you know?
Just now.
One-sided love.
By the way, Sayaka, did you like someone?
Why don't you tell me?
Can you say it?
By the way, I just found out.
What?
Maybe you liked Ryo-kun.
What?
Maybe.
No.
What?
Then what?
What?
One-sided love...
You mean me?
You're funny.
Come on.
That's it!
I like you!
Always!
Realize it!
What?
I like you, Sayaka!
You scared me!
For a second, I thought you were serious!
Come on!
But you know...
But what?
Your angry face is so pretty right now. I think I might fall for you.
If you fall for me like that...
Huh?
Hey, what?!
You're making me laugh!
What are you talking about? You're not serious, are you?
You're not, are you?
You're not serious, are you?
Oh, you're jealous!
Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
Of course you can!
Huh?
Yeah.
Come on!
I'll get mad!
I'm sorry.
I love you.
Shut up!
Okay.
Thank you for your hard work.
Please stand in front of the two of you.
We are now in the screening.
First of all, Ms. Hijoka.
Yes.
How did you feel about acting?
It was very fresh for me to try such a role that I had never experienced before.
However, as soon as I decided that I would play against Hana-chan, I fell in love with Hana-chan.
I want to bless you for dating me, but I can't.
I want you to turn to me.
Even if we bump into each other, I think it's a joke.
It's very complicated there.
But I want to continue our relationship even after that.
I want to play Sayaka who laughs hard at the end.
I tried my best.
It may have been a difficult role to like homosexuality.
Did you learn anything about it?
- Anyway... - You were conscious of it.
Anyway, I searched on the Internet when I fell in love with homosexuality.
Recently, it's not a special story.
While such stories are coming out, I'm totally in favor of it.
To act like you're close to such feelings...
Anyway, I thought about it like that.
I thought it's important to try it as many times as possible.
Anyway, I've been practicing every day.
How about you, Saako?
I was so nervous that I was about to skip my lines.
But I managed to finish without being swallowed up by the air.
How about you, Hijioka, your opponent?
Before my opponent was decided, we had been talking and getting along with each other.
It was very complicated when we decided to play against each other.
But I felt safe, so I was happy about it.
I see.
All right, I think we have the result.
Well then, Kanami Hijioka and Hana Ako.
Which of their performances did you find attractive?
The decision is...
Akko Hana-san wins!
All three judges voted for Akko's "Blue".
Doi-san!
Yes.
I had a lot of trouble with this.
Yes.
Really.
How should I say it...
You both read the script very well.
And you both have a strong desire to act.
I think you're doing this for the first time now,
but if you do it a few more times, you'll get better and better.
While I was feeling that possibility...
Akko-san was able to think a little more without thinking too much.
I think that kind of courage is a little...
Hiroko-san has also calculated and thought a lot and accumulated a lot.
I think it was a really small difference.
Nemo-san!
Yes.
That's right.
Akko-san!
As Doi-san said just now...
First of all, Hijioka-san must have been thinking a lot.
He said earlier that he did a lot of research online.
I think that kind of thing is really necessary for actors.
When you play an emotion you've never felt before,
I think it's really important to be interested in it and do it properly.
I thought it was really great about that.
On the other hand, I didn't know how far Akko-san had planned it.
I didn't know if he said it because it happened on the spot.
So you two were at both extremes.
I think it would have been really nice if Hijioka-san's plan got a little more natural.
I think it's really difficult because it's such a short period of time.
I'd like to see that again in the matches after this one.
Yes, thank you.
Hijioka-san, please.
What I felt about Akko-san was...
When you gave me the book, you know Hikari, right?
I got the impression that you came up with what kind of voice Hikari would make and how she would speak.
So I thought it was good.
That's why I like Akko-san so much.
But you two really didn't come up with the right voice.
I was really worried about you two.
Anyway, I like Akko-san's voice better.
The way Hikari thinks about her character was a little positive for me.
However, I thought Hijioka-san's presence was also very indispensable and wonderful.
Thank you.
Okay, Akko-san.
You got three votes from a young person.
How do you feel?
I'm really happy.
I'll do my best to grow even more in the future.
And Hijioka-san, what do you think about this result in the future?
That's right.
I just got my evaluation.
Well...
I'm about to cry.
Don't worry about it.
But you were really good.
I think it's important for you to get into it more naturally.
I'm very convinced of this result.
There are still more battles to come, so I'd like to win the next one.
Thank you very much.
It's only just begun.
I'm looking forward to seeing you evolve more and more from now on.
Thank you very much.
As I said in the beginning, I think catching the ball is important, but at this time I had decided to do this because I felt like this, and that kind of thing led to this result.
I think it's a great reflection.
But I think it was good that I was able to challenge a ball that I thought was difficult.
Let's move on to the third round!
I'm Shibutani Fuka, 18 years old, and I'm from Fawmori Prefecture.
I'm very nervous about my first audition, but thank you for today!
She came from Fawmori and Tsugaru Prefecture and has no acting experience at all.
She's not used to standing in front of people either.
However...
Ms. Fuka of Shibutani!
She's been longing for an actress since she was little.
It's her first time getting a script for a drama.
Can I?
Yes.
Oh, she's smiling.
It's a lot, isn't it?
It looks like it's going to be a little difficult.
What kind of play do you want to do?
The person who is fighting such a tough battle is...
I was active in a group called "ngt.potato" which is based in Niigata.
Former idol!
Moeka Takakura, 19 years old.
Wow! Amazing!
She immediately reads out the script.
A little irritated girl.
I'm sure this happens quite often.
I think it's easy to express.
It's interesting!
I feel a little relaxed.
Two different types.
What kind of battle will they have?
Two friends are waiting in a cafe.
Airi, who plays Takakura, arrives late at the table and sees Kana, who plays Shibutani, and suddenly starts laughing.
Kana is irritated for a while, but Airi has a reason to laugh.
Let's get started. Doi-san, please.
Yes, let's get started.
Ready, go!
What? Can you stop laughing from the moment you met me?
Besides, everyone is watching you.
But...
But what?
It's funny, isn't it?
It's not "yes", and it doesn't make sense.
Really?
Oh, no! My stomach hurts!
I told you, it's not "yes"!
Is it? Is it not?
So, why?
What do you mean, "why"?
I'm asking you, "why are you laughing"?
Because it's funny?
I'll get really mad!
About what?
I'm saying... you know...
What do you mean?
I don't know at all.
Your face!
What's funny about my face?
I'm sorry! I remembered that time.
What do you mean, "that time"?
I mean, "that time", you know.
Even if you say "that time", when? When was it?
When you were a kid?
Even if you say "kid" to a kid...
What? Then, when?
I said, "that time", you know!
I don't know.
I said, "grandma", you know...
"that time", "that person"...
That's true.
Huh? Did I say "that person"?
You didn't say it, but...
Um...
What were we talking about?
Huh?
What's funny?
I mean...
I don't know. What is it?
I don't know, but...
What is it, Momo?
Are you angry and tired?
I'm tired.
What?
Are you acting?
What?
Are you trying to cheer me up?
That's right.
It was hard for me.
Don't say that.
Because...
Thank you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Cheer up.
Okay.
Thank you for your hard work.
Please come forward.
Let's hear your impressions, Takagura-san.
How did you like it?
I'm tired of laughing.
It's hard to laugh in a play.
It's hard.
What about you, Shibutani-san?
My lines flew away in the middle of the play.
That's right.
Of course, your lines may fly away.
How did you like it?
It was fun, but...
I'm glad.
Here are the results.
Shibutani, Fuka-san, Takakura, Moeka-san.
Which was better for this play?
The judgment is...
Takakura, Moeka-san.
Nemotsu-san, Shibutani Fuga-san and...
Takakura, Moeka-san.
Takakura, Moeka-san wins by 2-1.
Today, for the first time, the votes were split.
First of all, I'd like to ask Doi-san, who voted for Takakura-san.
Well, if we look at the script, acting and acting of the two of them at this point in time,
I think Takakura-san has experience and knows what acting is like.
However, Shibutani-san doesn't know what's going to happen in the future.
There are things that make me nervous just looking at it.
So, I think you still have a lot of potential to see a lot of people's acting and see how much you can grow every time you do it.
Yes, thank you.
Now, Ishii-san, please.
Well, first of all, I thought Takakura-san had a sense of stability.
I felt like I could look at him with confidence, and that was a point of evaluation for me.
He also had a sense of presence and personality.
On the other hand, I thought Shibutani-san would be able to change more if he had more awareness of what he was trying to say from within.
Now, I feel like I'm saying a lot of lines, but if you have a little more awareness of what you're trying to say from within, I think you'll be able to add a little bit of a different feel to it.
Yes, thank you.
Now, Nemoto-san, Shibutani-san.
Yes, I'd like to play this person.
I think it's really important for an actor to be able to make the writer think that way.
He's got the charm of being able to be someone's muse.
Usually, in the previous VTR, there was a high note, right?
When I read the script, it was played in standard Japanese.
It was quite difficult to fix this.
I did my best!
I think it was very difficult for me to express my emotions in words that I wasn't familiar with.
But I was able to do it well.
I think he's a person who can play various roles and have a wide range of roles.
So I wanted to write about my occupation.
I see.
I think it was a play that made you imagine the script you wrote for Shibutani-san someday.
Thank you!
Congratulations, Takagura-san!
Thank you!
How do you feel about receiving this award?
I was very nervous and read the script all the time.
I'm relieved that it's over.
This is the first time I've done this for me.
But that's not all.
I'd like to do my best to connect with you next time.
Yes!
It's been a while, Shibutani-san.
We gave you the results this time as well.
How did you like the judges' comments?
I thought I'd do my best from now on.
Nemotsu-san told me that it's a little difficult for you to fix your dialect and speak normally.
Yes.
That's pretty...
But of course, there is also a role of dialect.
I think you can show off again in such a case, so please do your best again.
Thank you both for your hard work. Thank you very much.
Thank you very much. Please go back.
I thought I was going to die. I was nervous.
Hurry up and go home. Hurry up and go home.
For the time being, my lines didn't fly away, so I was a little tired.
I don't know if I was able to get the results I practiced, but I practiced a lot, so I'm glad it ended today for the time being.
I'm relieved.
The judges told me to show my inner side, so I'll do my best to show my inner side.
I want to do my best.
Now, let's move on to the fourth round.
Maho Deuchi, who lives in Fukuoka.
The youngest, 13 years old.
That's a good habit.
I'm a young person, but I want to take this audition and definitely grasp my own potential and meet my new self.
At the final screening of the audition...
Huh? Can I do it?
She showed an act of using her body widely...
I can't move much and I'm a little frustrated.
She couldn't act convincingly and shed tears of frustration.
I'm relieved.
I thought it would be difficult.
I want to express their friendship.
I'll do my best!
The opponent is...
I like to see what I want to do.
I want to be an actor someday.
She has been interested in ballet for six years.
Ruka Takeyama, 14 years old.
It's amazing.
It's fresh.
Do you do everything by yourself?
Yes, I do.
Do you want to do it?
Yes, I do.
I don't care about crying.
I want to do it with emotions.
I want to cry, though.
How will the two middle school students challenge the script that says there is an actor who cries?
[The two middle school students challenge the script that says there is an actor who cries?]
On their way back from their college entrance exam,
Takeyama plays Shiori and passes.
However, Deguchi plays Manami and fails.
As a result of not wanting it, the two care for each other.
But what is their true intention at the end?
Then let's go. Nemoto-san, please.
Yes.
Then please. Ready, start!
Passed! Congratulations!
Thank you.
I'm sorry. Because I fell.
Shiori, you can't be happy, can you?
I'm sorry.
Be happy! Please!
Okay?
Congratulations!
Passed! Congratulations!
Thank you.
It's frustrating, isn't it?
Manami, you worked so hard.
Yes.
Well, if I didn't work hard, it can't be helped.
I worked hard to the limit!
Even so, I fell.
It can't be helped.
I see. I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
Because I won, I feel like I lost something.
That's not true.
But...
I won, so be happy.
Otherwise, I'll be in more pain.
Really?
That's right.
Y...yeah, you're right.
I did it! I did it! I passed!
Good job! You did well!
I did my best! I did my best! I did my best!
That's right. I didn't do my best enough.
No, no, that's not what I meant...
Sorry! Congratulations!
Thank you.
I can't be happy.
Why do I look like that?
Sorry!
What should I do alone?
What do you mean?
Live alone in Tokyo?
I'm scared. I can't.
We promised we'd be together forever.
We did, but...
I don't know about that.
We didn't promise we'd be together forever.
Go! To Tokyo!
No.
What?
Then what will you do?
I want to go to Tokyo, but I can't be alone.
Don't talk nonsense!
I will!
Ugh!
I'm scared of Tokyo.
I wanted to go there, too!
Go!
No!
Go!
I won't go!
Thank you for your hard work!
Please come forward.
Let's ask Deguchi. How did you like your performance?
I was a little nervous and flew away, but I think I was able to convey my feelings well.
How about you, Takema?
I was really nervous and my hands were shaking a lot, but I think I was able to do it my own way.
Of course, there is a sense of tension at first, but under the same conditions, you performed brilliantly until the end. Thank you for your hard work.
You two are middle school students.
I see, you two are the youngest.
You were close in age.
How about you, Takeyama?
I was the youngest, so I felt the closest to him.
It was easy for me to act even though I was older than him.
Of course, there is a chance of winning or losing, but I think I was able to express my true friendship.
How about you, Takema?
I was close in age, so I couldn't imagine myself as a college student.
I see, you haven't been to high school yet.
I think it was easy for me to act under the same conditions.
Here are the results.
Deguchi, Maho-san, Takeyama, Luka-san, which one was better for this script?
The verdict is...
Takeyama-san!
Deguchi-san!
Takeyama-san!
Takeyama-san wins!
Now we have two points. Takeyama-san wins, but...
Ishii-san, please.
I think both of you did very well.
To be honest, I think you both got almost the same score.
But the only difference I noticed was...
Takeyama-san seemed to have a better way of expressing his feelings.
And you, Deguchi-san, as well.
Expressing your feelings...
Hitting your feelings...
I guess you could say it's a combination of both.
It's very difficult in real life for someone to make you understand something.
Even in real life, you're doing something difficult in the world of fiction.
So it's difficult for you to express your feelings to someone.
I felt like you were able to do that a little better.
But I think you both got almost the same score.
Thank you!
Demotsu-san, please.
I think you both did very well.
I think Deguchi-san tried to express a lot of emotions in this book.
I thought it was really good.
But this is just my opinion.
If you think it's different, you don't have to listen to me.
When you're in pain, you crouch down.
When you're in trouble, you do this.
You don't do that in everyday life, do you?
But in this book, I wanted to see a little more straightforward Deguchi-san.
Takeyama-san, on the other hand, was very nervous about playing this role.
I think he was able to do it naturally.
I think Takeyama-san is the toughest member of today's cast.
I think it was advantageous for me to be able to use that tension well.
I think I was lucky to be able to get that advantageous role.
Thank you!
And the third one is Deguchi-san.
First of all, thank you for showing me something very pure.
There's hardly any difference between me and Deguchi-san.
However, Deguchi-san was trying to bet something on the other person.
He wasn't just trying to show his feelings, but he was also trying to show the other person's feelings.
I had a very strong sense of that posture, so I gave Deguchi-san one vote.
I don't think there was much difference.
Thank you!
Takeyama-san, congratulations!
Thank you!
How do you feel about hearing the judges' comments?
I think I was able to talk to my best friend in my own way.
Deguchi-san, what are you going to aim for in the future and work hard for it?
I'm a little frustrated that I lost today, but I hope I can remember what the judges said during practice and move on to the next round.
Good luck!
Both of you, thank you for your hard work!
Thank you!
Please go back.
I'm nervous.
I saw Ruka's natural and pure acting.
I thought I should do my best.
I lost today, so I feel like I will win next time.
I'm pretty full now, so I want to see the next script soon.
I'm nervous.
I have an announcement.
Last night, Nanami Takahashi and Suzuna Miura were identified as severe contacts of COVID-19.
This time, only Nanami Takahashi will act.
Nanami Takahashi will act against a great actor.
Let's see what her acting will be like in the script.
Let's watch the video.
I hope I can be an actress who can cheer up people in times of disaster.
Nanami Takahashi, 16 years old, lives in Miyagi Prefecture.
I always practice my acting and facial expressions with this mirror.
I practice every day for about two hours.
I look at my facial expressions and record them on my smartphone.
Nanami Takahashi, 16 years old, lives in Miyagi Prefecture.
I see.
It looks difficult.
Are you confident of winning?
I want to practice so much that I think I can win 100%.
Nanami Takahashi, 16 years old, lives in Miyagi Prefecture.
At a cafe with friends,
Mayu, who plays Takahashi-san, and Misato, who is a friend of Takahashi-san, receive the same qualification and pass together.
However, from the middle of the conversation, they can see each other's true feelings and feel uneasy.
What will happen between the two of them?
Let's begin. Doi, please.
Yes, please.
Ready...
Go!
I'm nervous.
Here I go.
I did it! I did it!
You did it! Congratulations!
I did it!
You did it! Congratulations!
It's all thanks to you, Misato! Thank you!
No, no, it's not like that!
Yes, you were there for me, so I was able to get results.
Really?
If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have...
Really?
Well, we worked hard together, but...
Did I assist you in any way?
No, you didn't. You didn't assist me at all. Zero.
Huh?
Then why are you thanking me so much?
Because you can do it, Misato.
I thought I couldn't do it, so I worked hard.
Is that your driving force?
Oh...
Huh...
Oh, so that's what you thought.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Isn't that what you usually think?
Oh, right.
Then I should thank you too, Mayu.
Why?
Did I do something good?
I think you did, but I can't remember.
What?
You didn't do anything for me.
Really? Nothing?
Nothing.
You did it, and I didn't do it, but I couldn't stand it, so...
In terms of pride?
That's why I worked so hard.
Huh?
Yeah.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
You can't accept it, can you?
You confessing only to Mayu.
Do you think so?
I do.
That's what I've always thought.
After all,
you can't lose to Mayu in life.
Me too!
You can't lose to Misato in life!
Forever and ever!
You too?
Yes.
Me too.
Then...
I think I feel the same way.
Thank you for thinking like that!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Let's do our best!
I'm glad. I'm really glad.
Thank you very much!
Taka-san, please come forward.
Yes.
So...
How did you like acting?
When I first came here, I was already excited.
But it was fun!
It was fun!
You looked like you were acting proudly.
It was a little difficult to express myself.
But were you able to prepare well?
Yes!
I wrote a lot...
Yes.
And did it.
Now...
It looks like we have a verdict.
This time, we will have the judges check Taka-san's acting as scripted acting.
Yes!
Understood!
Now, let's begin!
Will Taka-san be able to gain points?
The verdict is...
Oh!
All of you...
Gained points!
So, Taka-san...
Passed!
I don't think it was a victory, but I think it was a good play that fit the script.
Mr. Doi, how was it?
Yes, I think it was very good.
What everyone is struggling with today is that when they say these lines for the first time, they don't say it in their own words anymore.
Today, I was able to hear the most natural words of the person speaking properly in today's people.
And I felt like I was watching a very interesting drama in this scene itself.
Ms. Nemo, how was it?
This time, I think the only opponent was a college student who wasn't a member of this time.
Even with 13 college students, I had the impression that Mr. Takahashi was making the atmosphere firmly without being pulled by the college students, so it was very good.
He said that his facial expressions are being studied in the previous VTR, and I think it's great.
First of all, when the nuance of facial expressions and lines are slightly off, or when they are practicing separately, or when I am a little worried about the shift, I think it would be nicer if it got used to it.
Ms. Takahashi, how do you feel about these evaluations?
I'm happy when I'm surprised.
However, there are still many improvements that need to be fixed, so I would like to continue practicing without forgetting the words of the judges.
Yes, please do your best for the next confrontation!
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your hard work!
Well, that's it for today's performance. How was it?
Well, I'm really nervous, but first of all, I'd like to give a round of applause to everyone who played the role.
I'm relieved to have finished the first time myself.
You were nervous, weren't you?
But this is only the beginning, so it's not about whether your acting is good or bad based on the evaluation criteria.
I think it's more and more important what you feel and make it work for the next time.
I can't help it because I'm looking forward to the next time.
That's really ideal.
Yes, is it okay for you, Nemo-san?
Yes, I was able to witness the moment when I could speak my lines for the first time in my life.
Above all, I also had a very valuable experience.
It's not decided whether it's good or bad today, so I'd like to keep an eye out for it in the future as well.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
So, from now on, there's only hope.
I'd like you to show me how you're growing and following the path of a wonderful actress.
See you next week! Thank you for watching!
