When you watch Kaleido Star, please keep your room brightly lit, and sit as far from the TV as you can.
'Kay? Let's go! Well, well, well.
Have you ever made up your mind about something? Many things have happened in my 16-year life.
I challenged a lots of things.
But this time I'm earnest.
I'm serious.
I made up my mind in a super serious mode.
I'm going to take the challenge for everyone's future! For everyone's future! For everyone's future! The dream everyone is looking for must be someplace It has to be somewhere Until your dream comes true someday, you're not alone Remember how I used to say I could make it to the end? I must have been pretending to be tough Everything I did was reckless and it never got me anywhere But you alone were always beside me The dream everyone is looking for must be somewhere You can start going forward From this moment, something will start I want to believe that The light I haven't seen yet is beaming toward the promised place Until your dream comes true someday, you're not alone What? Hm? What? What? Can you see me? The Legendary Amazing Maneuver The Legendary Amazing Maneuver The Legendary Amazing Maneuver The Legendary Amazing Maneuver Wait, Sora.
What's wrong with you? So, you can see him too, right? What? I'm talking about Fool Fool? My name is Fool.
I am the spirit of the stage.
Uh As I expected, Layla's so calm.
Oh, no So, did I lose my mind, is that it? I think he's the one who lost his mind.
What?! But, Miss Layla, you couldn't see him before.
Layla was chosen for the stage just now.
It is proof that you can attempt the legendary great maneuver.
The legendary great maneuver? It was tried once, a long time ago.
After that, no one has successfully performed that maneuver.
One person was frightened.
Another challenged it recklessly and lost his life.
If you're going to attempt that maneuver, you will be the second pair to try from Kaleido Stage.
The second pair? In order to challenge the legendary great maneuver, it needs two stars.
What happened to the two who tried before and failed? They died.
One partner could not see me, but the other one told me a lie and made him pretend he could see me.
But, Miss Layla can see you.
So, please tell me, Fool.
What kind of maneuver is this "legendary great maneuver"? I cannot tell you yet.
What? Until both of you are qualified for that maneuver.
Qualified? When is that? How can we be qualified? Even I don't know that.
It could be tomorrow, it could be ten years from now.
Don't be so mean.
Just tell us now.
If you try that maneuver now An avatar of Death I'm afraid at least one of you will die.
But I I think I can do it if it's with you, Miss Layla! Let me think about it.
What? Ouch! Miss Layla, I will do my best! Miss Layla Am I not good enough for you? As we thought, the masked star was Miss Layla.
Yes.
Since we have a time difference, if she leaves London first thing in the morning, she can be here by noon.
I want to try the legendary great maneuver with Miss Layla by any means.
The legendary great maneuver? What's that? Even I don't know what it is, but I think I can do any kind of maneuver if I do it with Miss Layla.
But Hi, everyone, please come close and take a look! Like, the best show in history, kinda, is going to start! C'mon, c'mon! Anyway, did you hear? They found out that the masked star was Miss Layla.
I'd, you know, rather work with them.
After all, I realized that I want to appear on stage with Miss Layla.
Don't you think it's like, too late to realize that? Of course, I feel the same, but The small audience must have something to do with the fact that we don't have Miss Layla.
It has to be.
If you don't like it here, you can leave.
Both of you are fired.
What? Oh, well.
It's, like, probably better for us.
It's Yuri.
Kaleido Stage's Not only that What? That's Layla! What? That's Layla! Layla! I didn't think you'd come.
I didn't think you'd come.
I heard she will appear on screen again.
I didn't think you'd come.
I didn't think you'd come.
How is the movie shoot? Finished without a hitch.
That's good.
So, what did you want to talk about? I want you to come back, Layla.
I want to appear on stage with you again.
You're the only partner I have.
My current partner is Sora.
I may attempt the legendary great maneuver with Sora.
You're going to attempt the legendary great maneuver with Sora?! There is no way you can do that.
Absolutely not! Yuri And if you're going to do it, then I'll do it with you! You're not qualified.
Really When I saw the Kaleido Stage for the first time, it was truly like a dream.
I wished I could also appear on that stage.
After I started grade school, and when I started learning gymnastics, I thought it was fun.
For the first time in my life, I learned how good applause made me feel.
I would practice very hard every day on a maneuver that I couldn't do.
And when I was finally able to do it, when I received applause, I'd feel so happy, I would tremble.
When I got applause on stage for the first time, it really made me happy.
That's why I want to try even more amazing maneuvers.
That's why I want to perform even more amazing performances.
I want to show them.
I want them to see it.
And I want to perform on that stage with Miss Layla.
The legendary great maneuver? I'm sure Kalos knows something.
About people who took the challenge before or something like that Okay but I don't know if he's willing to talk about it.
He's never said anything about it to anybody before.
Even if challengers are Sora and myself? Well, if it's the two of you, it should be all right.
I'll give you Kalos's contact information.
Oh, damn! I wasn't watching! Master, please do it again! Can you wait for a second, Layla? Yes.
You sure work hard every day, Sora.
Well, I have no choice but to practice.
So I will be accepted as Miss Layla's partner.
Sora, is this true? What? "Layla Hamilton and Sora Naegino return to their old home, Kaleido Stage, to risk their lives challenging the legendary great maneuver.
" Wow It says next month.
You must be kidding.
Who are you? Excuse me, that announcement about the legendary great maneuver being performed at Kaleido Stage Those tickets are already sold out.
What? Excuse me, Miss! I'm the one performing in that show! What? Good morning, Sora.
Mr.
Yuri Those tickets are completely sold out.
If you need them, I'll prepare reserved seats for invited guests.
So just let me know the number of people How do you know about the legendary great maneuver? So just let me know the number of people How do you know about the legendary great maneuver? I heard it from Layla.
What? Then Miss Layla agreed to challenge the legendary great maneuver! Is that right? Yuri announced it without consulting us.
Do you want to make laughingstocks out of us? I'm just paying my respect to those who are going to challenge a very difficult maneuver, and I decided to offer the stage.
If you want to back out of this, you should do it now.
You can quit anytime.
All sold tickets are non-refundable.
The only people who lose money are the audience.
You can't! We're not going to cancel.
But we have a condition of our own.
A condition? If we succeed in performing the legendary great maneuver, I want you to return Kaleido Stage to us! All right.
I'm counting on you.
I expect you to perfect the maneuver without a hitch.
Miss Layla! I made up my mind too.
Sora, no matter what happens, I'm going to perfect the legendary great maneuver with you.
And we're going to make sure to show that maneuver to the audience on this stage.
Yes.
Oh, but if we don't know what kind of maneuver it is, we don't know how we should practice.
Kalos knows how we should practice.
Boss does? He used to watch the two previous challengers practice.
He said if we are serious about doing this, come to the Grand Canyon.
He said he's going to give us special training there.
You're going, right, Sora? Of course I'm going! Is he really going to give us Kaleido Stage back? Yes.
For everyone's sake, I'm going to perfect that maneuver by all means.
And I'm going to get back our Kaleido Stage! So, Boss is coaching Good luck, Sora! Here, Jonathan.
You cheer for her too! We will go see your performance.
I kept hounding them for tickets, and I already got some.
I'm going with you! What? I'll also participate as your special trainer.
Ken Me too.
Then I'm going too! Why don't we all go together? Yeah! That's impossible! Yeah! That's impossible! So, Boss knows what kind of maneuver that the legendary great maneuver is.
Don't forget.
Finding out what it is without being qualified means I know.
You want to say "It's dangerous.
" We're going to help you.
Aren't you kinda glad? Well Sora I'm going to do my best to support you.
But if the legendary great maneuver is really that dangerous, I'm going to stop you.
Ken Because I don't want to lose you, Sora.
Welcome.
It's been awhile.
Boss Are you ready? I have a hunch something bad will happen.
What? I e-mailed everybody who used to work for Kaleido Stage, and asked them about the maneuver.
They told me that there were people who challenged that maneuver ten years ago, and And what happened? They died.
I wonder, could that be Like, cook this one next.
Can you taste this? Well? Hm It, like, doesn't taste very good.
Then why don't you help me? Because I'm not, like, really good at stuff like this.
Once you finish that, do 100 one arm chin-ups.
No rest! Sora Oh, my Jump.
What! So, today's training is finished.
Not yet! Sora, do 100 bicept curls with your right hand.
Do it! Yes, sir.
Do you want me to cut it for you? Thank you, but I'll be okay.
I'll keep at it, on my own.
Sora What? No way A maneuver like that can't be possible In order to perfect the maneuver, he said that he needed absolute confidence.
Who is "he"? This doesn't just apply to those two.
It also applies to everybody around them.
If you can trust both Sora and Layla, never show your uncertainty or be soft on them until the end.
If you cannot trust them, you should leave here right now.
Because you will get in their way.
And also, don't tell Sora what the legendary great maneuver is.
We don't have that right.
Does it hurt? But please bear it.
I have to make sure to loosen your muscles very well.
Tomorrow, we'll have an interval by letting you do some light workouts, and then the day after tomorrow Ken and then the day after tomorrow Ken I wonder if I can endure this kind of training till the end.
I wonder if I'm capable of doing the legendary great maneuver.
Sora is growing uncertain.
Good.
We've been doing the same training for over a week.
Don't complain.
You have no choice but to do it.
Ken You sound like a different person.
You too, Sora.
Don't be so soft.
You're the one who told me you're going to do the legendary great maneuver.
That's true.
Layla, you've completed the first level.
You're going to start training using a rope starting tomorrow.
Yes! Sora, come here.
Yes.
The iron ball hanging at the end of that wire weighs almost the same as Layla.
Catch this using only your right arm and push it back.
If you can't do this, you can't be Layla's partner.
Can you do it? Yes, I will.
If you can trust both Sora and Layla, never show your uncertainty or be soft on them until the end.
Please wait for a second.
What? Please let me handle this training.
Ken Are you capable of doing this? Yes.
Are you ready, Sora? Yes.
One more time! C'mon! Sora, stand up! Next! Next! This is nothing By any means By any means, I'm going to do the legendary great maneuver with Miss Layla.
Sora, stand up! Unless you can do this, you can't perfect the legendary great maneuver! Yes What kind of maneuver is the legendary great maneuver? Without knowing what kind of maneuver it is, I wonder if I can keep going till the end.
Fool! Fool, aren't you here? Fool, tell me.
No, I can't.
But I told you before.
When both of you are qualified to do that maneuver, I will tell you everything.
So, I'm not good enough yet? I'm not? I'm not? Next Kaleido Star Can you tell me with confidence that you're Layla's partner? And so, I'm training so hard, but This is ridiculous! Sora is going to destroy herself! I will not look away.
I don't want to give up, but I feel like crying.
I feel like running away.
Miss Layla, please say something! Please! Please! Next time on Kaleido Star, "The Amazing Intensive Training Continues" The Amazing Intensive Training Continues "The Amazing Intensive Training Continues" The Amazing Intensive Training Continues The Amazing Intensive Training Continues My wings are my dream and on towards the sky I'm here between the sky and the roads, and facing against the wind And I'm facing forward so the sorrow doesn't rain down ever again I came all the way here after I jumped over that wall There are many times when I just want to run away But I'm still here, so, I'm not daunted that much The poem I scribbled down, I can just start writing over from the beginning Unable to write it well, I'm laughing
