The Passionate Amazing Rival

Everyone, Kaleido Star is about to start.
When you watch Kaleido Star, please keep your room brightly lit, and sit as far from the TV as you can.
Well, well, well.
Do you have rivals? Someone who you don't want to lose to, whether it's in sports, study in school, or some lessons you're taking.
With feelings like that, we improve very quickly, right? As for myself, l aspired to be like Miss Layla and kept motivating myself to perform better until now.
l've been trying not to lose to myself, and l've kept working hard, but l've never really thought that l don't want to lose to someone else.
But, since May joined Kaleido Stage This is not the time to say things like this.
lt's not! lt's not! Tattoo Kiss, the beginning is red and black passions Sometimes, we rely on our contrary hearts Tattoo Kiss, the last resort is a mission which changes the future New Wings Tattoo Kiss, the last resort is a mission which changes the future There is no place for ambiguous answers in love Even while pretending not to see the impossible reality, we bet Hard to obtain truth.
Can you feel me now? Say what to myself who gets excited easily? l'm confused, what to say Dreamin' the never-waking dream, the falling fate Don't stop lovin' can't stop lovin' you Ya ya ya l believe in you even if l lose everything for it Still lovin' can't stop loving' you No no no Tattoo Kiss Dracula? That's right.
Dracula.
lt just flashed across my mind when l was looking at Leon.
l thought this had to be our new production! ls it a horror story? Horror story? That means there won't be any gags.
Of course NOT! The Amazing Passionate Rival The Amazing Passionate Rival The Amazing Passionate Rival Even though it's a horror story, it's also a mysterious and beautiful love story.
Love story? That's right.
Wandering around night after night looking for beautiful women's blood: Count Dracula! What? What? Count Dracula! What? What? What? What? What? What? A beautiful woman who's attracted to him, even while she's afraid of him: Mina Murray! What? What? What? What? Mina Murray! What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? Guided by fate, the two get together! Don't take this the wrong way, Sora! lt's so romantic! This is beyond my control lt's so romantic! This is beyond my control This is beyond my control This is good, Mia.
This is good, Mia.
We've never done anything like this before, right? Hearing you say that gives me a little confidence.
After all, this was the first time l wrote a script imagining somebody.
Yeah, but there are no gags! Mina Murray lf Miss Layla played her role, it would have been wonderful! Sora, YOU'RE the Kaleido Star now.
l know.
But my time was decreased again yesterday.
l wrote Mina Murray's character thinking of you.
Of me? l even have a new spin maneuver, since those are your specialty.
lf Leon sees your Mina Murray, even he can't say he wants to decrease your time.
After all, Leon decided to stay here after saying that he was leaving for France.
So l don't think it's like he doesn't acknowledge you.
Be confident.
That's right.
Thank you.
You're right.
To answer Miss Layla's expectations, l should For the first time, l aspired to be like somebody.
l want to appear on stage with Sora! l have to work hard for Rosetta too.
After all, she came to Kaleido Stage because she wants to be like you.
What's Rosetta doing? She's in her room, studying.
ln her room? Since she has work, she said she's always been tutored by a computer.
l heard she's never been to school.
l see.
lt seems like she has to go through a lot.
Mia, thank you.
l'm honored.
Go, Sora.
What do you think, Leon? l think it's interesting, but l'm Dracula? Yes.
What do you think? This is the first time someone captured me in this light.
Okay So, um ln other words? l'll ask you to revise it, but l don't mind doing it.
What? Really?! Congratulations, Mia! Thanks! Good job, Mia! l did it! Good job, Mia! l did it! l did it! Getting Mr.
Leon's okay, you're something else.
Getting Mr.
Leon's okay, you're something else.
Thank you! l feel so good! Getting Mr.
Leon's okay, you're something else.
Thank you! l feel so good! Revise it right now.
Yes.
Where should l revise? Get rid of Mina Murray.
Get rid of? You mean, all? Of course.
Excuse me But Mina Murray's climax, Screw Spin, is a very difficult maneuver, but l think Sora can pull it off.
And l think the audience will enjoy watching the maneuver as a main highlight.
Satisfy me instead of the audience.
lf you can't do it, l'll handle the leading role by myself.
Please see my Screw Spin.
l'm sure l can show you a performance that will satisfy you.
Double door open! l'm sure l can show you a performance that will satisfy you.
Double door open! May You can't do it! Only one person can satisfy Mr.
Leon.
The next Layla Hamilton, ME! Wait.
From the beginning, l wrote this role thinking of Sora So what? lt's natural that the person who has the best abilities should get the role.
So, naturally, this role is MlNE! She's so selfish.
l'll give you until tomorrow.
l don't care which one.
Satisfy me.
Until tomorrow l'm not saying you have to.
Oh, no, please leave it to me! l'll prepare the swing for practice tonight.
Finally, the time to compete has come.
Even though he said we have one day, there's only one practice swing.
ln short, l can actually practice only a half day.
With her abilities, May may be able to master the Screw Spin.
But l cannot allow myself to lose this game! l will win the game by all means.
Now that Miss Layla's gone, the one who'll be the Kaleido Star is me.
lt can be no one else! Anna?! What's wrong?! What are you doing?! Powerful Pushing! What the heck? lt's Feng Shui.
What? lf l move into this room for today and tomorrow, l'll have a better chance of winning the duel.
So? So l will move into this room.
But it's only for today and tomorrow.
Well, l have to bring in my stuff.
Fire Cooking! ln order to win the duel, l need the heat of fire.
Doing stir-fry is the best for that.
So there you have it.
lt's a Chinese dish for this morning's menu.
A Chinese dish in the early morning? Greasy Chinese? lsn't it good once in a while? May was kind enough to cook for us.
So Hey, so she only cooked for herself? Uh l will cook for everybody now.
So, please wait for a little while.
Good morning.
Good morning.
So that's the swing for the Screw Spin? Somehow, l made it in time.
Grand Screw Jump! lt was close.
ln just one hour, she managed to get to that point.
lt's supposed to be a pretty difficult maneuver.
So she's not all talk.
Sora could also get that far easily if she practices for one hour.
Yeah l don't know if l can do it, but l have to try.
You're supposed to take turns every hour, so it's your turn next hour, Sora.
Okay.
May, your hour's up! Switch with Sora.
Sorry.
l won't.
What? Do Do you understand what l said? Because l came here one hour early and started practicing.
That's because breakfast was late Yet you shamelessly show up now, trying to practice.
You're so naive! So, you will not let Sora practice? ls that the only way you can win?! Yeah, you're a coward! This is not some swing in a park.
Why do l have to take turns?! l don't remember agreeing to anything like that! But, usually Don't they usually say, ''First come, first served''? This world is controlled by the law of jungle.
First of all, Mr.
Leon doesn't acknowledge you at all.
l think l'm only one who should take the test.
lt's shameful to think he asked you to take the test out of pity.
MAY! You're so awful! MAY! You're so awful! l cannot believe you said that! Sora, why don't you say something to her?! May's right.
l'm not acknowledged by Mr.
Leon.
But still, l want to do what l can to make Kaleido Stage better.
So l'm going to take tomorrow's test by all means, l intend to attempt it with all my might.
l consider you a friend who's going to create Kaleido Stage with me.
That's why l want to Stop it! A friend? That's ridiculous! Just looking at your face makes me sick.
l hate you! Every single thing you do is disappointing.
How? How?! How can you be the one who performed the legendary great maneuver with Miss Layla?! lf l were there, without a doubt, Miss Layla would have chosen me too.
Yet May l will not be outdone by you! By taking this upcoming test, l'll prove to everyone that l'm better than you! How can you be the one who performed the legendary great maneuver with Miss Layla?! lf l were there, without a doubt, Miss Layla would have chosen me too.
Yet That time That time, Miss Layla and l were real partners.
l was positive there was nobody else who could be Miss Layla's partner and perform the legendary great maneuver except me.
That time Please be my dream, Sora.
l know you can become a true Kaleido Star.
l wonder if l'm able to be a true Kaleido Star, Fool.
lt's up to you, Sora.
What is a true Kaleido Star? Even l don't know the answer to that.
That's something you must find for yourself.
However, the only thing certain is that you can see me.
Sora? Please come for a second.
Ken This this is the swing for the Screw Spin.
Sora! Sorry, but since l put this together so quickly, it doesn't have enough height, but Yo-ho! Go, Sora! Don't get beaten by somebody like May.
Amazing.
Everyone helped build this just for you, Sora.
For me? That's right.
After all, l still want you to play Mina Murray.
lt's mortifying if you lose without even having a chance to practice.
Mia Anna Ready? Sora is a Kaleido Star! So, are you motivated now? Yes! Thank you, everyone! That's Sora for you! Always quick to recover.
lt's all thanks to you guys.
l'll do my best.
That's right, l don't have time to doubt myself.
l just have to do it! What's with this swing?! Even someone like Sora is having a hard time to grasp the timing.
First, she needs to get used to this special swing.
Oh, l see.
This swing turns around easily.
But once it starts turning, it can't stop.
lt spins too fast.
l don't know the timing of when l should jump out.
But May was able to master it this far in only one hour.
So lf l don't work hard now, l won't be able to face everyone who's expecting me to do well.
Furthermore, l'll end up disappointing Miss Layla who acknowledged me as a partner! l'm almost there, but Sora's Sagittarius.
May's Taurus.
Leon's Scorpio.
lt is a beautiful balance.
But if this balance is lost Someone will fall to the ground.
l did it.
l did it.
One more time One more time Until l can do it perfect Until l can do it perfect All right, let's go.
Wha- What? l feel like l have a fever.
l wonder if it's because of the rain.
What are you doing to do? What l am going to do? l just have to do it.
l have to! l have to! All right, we're going to start testing now.
First, Sora.
Yes.
Oh, no.
My body feels heavy.
l've got chills.
Anyhow, l have to give my best shot.
l have to! l have to! What? Oh, no l'm getting dizzy.
l won! As l thought, that's all you've got! You were not supposed to be Miss Layla's partner.
Now l'll show you how a real Kaleido Star performs.
Beautiful Wait, Mr.
Leon! How was my performance? l passed, right? lt's not even worth discussing.
Why?! l didn't make a mistake! l practiced so hard! My performance was better than Sora's! l don't understand! Mr.
Leon.
He never practiced the Screw Spin l wonder if he can do a proper performance without practice.
Amazing Why are you so full of yourself just because you beat her? You want to be my partner? Then shine as brilliantly as l do.
Can you do it? No Our level is too different.
Sora, you have a fever, don't you? Oh, yes.
But, it's not that bad.
Are you kidding? lt's true.
Your face is red, Sora.
That's why you failed, isn't it? Oh Nothing like that.
Rewrite the script for Dracula.
l will be the only star in the show.
Mr.
Leon, Sora has a fever.
She practiced in the rain yesterday.
That has nothing to do with this.
She practiced in the rain yesterday.
Please give her one more chance.
lt's not because of my temperature.
Please give her one more chance.
Please.
Everyone, really, you don't need to Everyone, really, you don't need to You're all lukewarm.
So lukewarm, you make me sick.
Who knew Kaleido Stage was a place with such a lukewarm attitude? l finally understand why Layla Hamilton chose you for her partner.
Ultimately, it means Layla Hamilton was also a lukewarm performer like that.
She was a half-baked top star who couldn't lose her rich girl attitude.
She couldn't be tough on others or herself.
ln the end, that she chose someone like you as a partner means she was beyond recovery.
l think an easy place like Kaleido Stage was a perfect place for her.
You know nothing! You know nothing about her! l won't let you say that about Miss Layla! Sora! You can say whatever you want about me, Sora! You can say whatever you want about me, Calm down! You can say whatever you want about me, Calm down! but Miss Layla isn't like that! Sora! but Miss Layla isn't like that! but Miss Layla isn't like that! Apologize! Apologize! Apologize! Apologize to Miss Layla.
Apologize! l'm mortified.
Miss Layla was labeled like that because of me.
l have no choice but to work harder.
So everyone thinks l'm a worthy partner for Miss Layla.
l found something l have to do.
For that, l'll make that man l'll make Leon acknowledge me acknowledge me l'll make him acknowledge me as a partner! All kinds of hard luck flocks your way as if it's spurring you on Swept away by it, time is over Just as it was predicted, take it easy l will get you out right away Hurry up (Here we go) Forcibly only (Drive with the fastest speed) The view l look down on every day is the best Sunset point (Favorite) Harbor light (Stormy night) Escape for the sake of tomorrow Even if l don't have a vacation, l've got an oasis l'll turn off my cell phone and charge my love Because some pain, you can't soothe with just kindness We are alone.
We pass each other What's going on? At the far end of regret, l encounter my real love Whether l'm crying or laughing, l will be with you l'll show him when l'm truly shining! And so, the audition l did this time was a disappointment.
Wait a second, Sora.
May still hasn't given up yet.
Now she's saying that she'll express herself by skating.
l've never skated before.
Well, this is not time to say this! lt's not! lt's not! Next Kaleido Star, ce'' Next Kaleido Star, ce'' My wings are my dream and on towards the sky
