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.
Have you ever skated before? Skating on the ice smoothly, skate and turn lsn't it so cool? This time, l'm making the first attempt of my life, but Oh my! lt's super difficult.
Since l'm very good at in-line skating, l thought l would be all right.
But l just keep falling down and running into things, and it seems l keep saying things like ''Ouch!'' But, unless l'm able to do this, l'm gonna be beat by May.
l can't back down now, either! l can't! l can't!

But nobody has reached that top yet.
A real star That's right.
They say that the hearts of all people who see that performance will be one.
But even l don't know what kind of performance that is.
Sora, surpass me.
What? l can't You can.
And please be a star.
Show me you can be a real Kaleido Star.
When you become a real star, l'm sure Kaleido Stage will spread its wings wide again too.
Miss Layla entrusted me with Kaleido Stage, and l still can't meet her expectations at all, and yet Not only that, because of me Ultimately, it means Layla Hamilton was also a lukewarm performer like that.
For him to say that about Miss Layla Anyway, l will work hard in order to be acknowledged by Mr.
Leon as his partner.
That's the only thing l can do.
One day, l'll be sure, by all means, to make him take back what he said about Miss Layla.
Amazing Match on lce Amazing Match on lce Amazing Match on lce These are my thoughts, such as they are, after observing you all this time.
Maybe l've depressed you, talking about this at length first thing in the morning, but Sora! Yes.
Oh, good morning, Ken.
Good morning.
That is, were you listening to what l was saying Huh? Were you saying something? Oh, well lf you're not concerned l guess it might be fine Really? Then, bye.
You don't have much presence But in a sense, that could also make you a gag character.
Hey, Ken.
What? Do you want to pair with me? No.
Have you seen May? lt seems she didn't come to the meeting for the town girls' roles.
Oh, really? lt's a minor part, but l thought she'd be all excited because she's been granted special permission to perform.
Well, May might not be that kind of person.
Then she could be in the middle of special training under a mysterious master.
Who knows? Then she ran away with someone tall, dark and handsome? No, she's not that kind of person either And l don't know what you're talking about.
Then l wonder what happened to her? Well Leon! Who's that? She's a newcomer, isn't she? Who's that? She's a newcomer, isn't she? She just called him by his first name.
May May, all cast members who play town girls are in the meeting room and lt's got nothing to do with me! She's at it again.
Leon, come with me right now.
What? Right now? l'll show you what l'm like when l really shine.
What's she trying to do this time? Who knows? She said she'd show him how she looks when she really shines But why ice skating? lsn't that May? Yes, it is.
Long time no see.
So, May is good at skating.
l didn't know.
The way she skates, she's more than ''good at skating.
'' The ice fairy, May Wong is back.
lt's Mina Murray.
May's playing the role of Dracula's leading lady, Mina Murray.
But, if l remember right, isn't Mina Murray supposed to do a Screw Spin using a trapeze? Yes.
Even if she is good at skating, it has nothing to do with the role.
But lt's true, she's really shining.
You're the best, May! Beautiful! So, this is how May really shines.
Mia, change the script.
Yes.
How? Dracula will be done on ice.
What? On skates? What? On skates? Then you're saying that you're going to choose me as your partner.
Right? Are you telling me that l should be satisfied with the way you performed right now? What don't you like?! The performance l did right now was perfect! You may be satisfied, but l was bored.
lt didn't excite me at all.
l just like the idea of skating.
So in the end, we're going without Mina Murray and now he wants it on skates? This is deviating further and further from my original image.
There, there Skating All right! l'm going to challenge you at skating! What? 'Cause in order to play Mina Murray, l have to master skating, right? Are you stupid? Do you think you'll be able to skate better than me? Uh, well Unless l try it, l won't know.
Also, l want to give it a try.
She's not bad.
After all, she's good at in-line skating.
What? What?! l can't turn! Oh, my goodness.
This could be pretty difficult This could This could All of a sudden, her performance level dropped way too much.
lt's not like you.
But l have to get used to it first Straighten your back.
Yes! Put your feet sideways.
Open your legs.
Keep your back straight.
Oh! l'm going to fall.
Huh? l'm not falling.
Unlike in-line skates, on ice skates you slip less if you slant them.
l see Hold that pose.
l'm skating? lt seems you have talent.
So l think you'll improve quickly.
Really? Who's that? l have no idea.
My name's Meryl.
l work here.
You must be from Kaleido Stage, right? Yes, my name is Sora Naegino.
Are you competing with May for a role? What? Do you know May? Yes.
l saw her skating for the first time in a while, but her skating is not rusty at all.
That girl could shine even on the international stage.
lt's such a waste.
Shine on the international stage? That's right.
When May came to this skating rink, she was only three or four years old.
Once l saw her, l knew May had the talent to compete on the world level.
lf she kept practicing regularly, l thought even getting a gold medal could be a reality.
But She had another dream A big dream.
Amazing Miss Layla is amazing.
One day, l want to appear on the Kaleido Stage with Miss Layla.
One day Her desire was very strong.
No matter how hard l tried to persuade her, she didn't listen to me in the end.
May was that enthralled by Miss Layla? What's he saying is wrong? What's missing? Doesn't Leon like me?! May told me clearly.
''l like skating, but l like Kaleido Stage more.
'' l want to be a Kaleido Star, a real Kaleido Star, like Miss Layla.
Sorry.
l'm very sorry, Meryl.
l probably won't ever wear these shoes again.
After three years, once l finish school, l will audition.
And, one day, l'll definitely stand on the same stage as Miss Layla.
When that happens, please come to see me.
May's the same as me.
She's been inspired by Miss Layla's performance on Kaleido Stage like l was.
Yet, Miss Layla retired.
So she must hate me because l performed the legendary great maneuver with her.
lf you want to make friends with her, you have only one way to do it.
How? Take a bath together immediately, and Would you mind not joking like that when l'm seriously distressed? Joking? l'm not joking.
l seriously want you, May and l Sora? l'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
ln order not to disappoint May, l have to work hard and beat her.
lsn't it right, Miss Layla? According to my dad, the rink will be ready for skating after three days.
Then, Leon actually skates, and he is supposed to set the contents of the show in stone.
So three days from now will be their last chance to pass the test? Yes.
ln three days?! Don't be rash! Please! Please teach me to skate in three days.
l have to beat May.
By all means.
You sound serious.
Okay.
l'll teach you.
l guess l have no choice but to ask Meryl to help me after all.
Meryl! Oh, May.
Meryl is somewhere around the rink.
What? Not like that.
Do it stronger.
Yes.
Meryl! What is this?! Why are you teaching Sora? ls something wrong? l asked her.
Because l want the skill to compete with you on equal terms.
May.
lf you let your guard down, you will be surpassed by Sora.
Surpassed by Sora? ME?! That's right.
Sora is gifted.
She could be better than you.
And l'm the one teaching her, after all.
Nonsense! l can't lose in skating.
And l'll never lose to somebody like Sora.
l will never lose! Never! No, do it more boldly! Yes! They're amazing, huh? May's amazing.
But l'm sure l'm going to catch up with her.
For May and for Miss Layla! Sora, you have a weakness.
You're probably not aware of it, but Sora's so amazing.
She's improving so quickly.
She could come from behind and win.
How is your physical condition? Right now l'm in top condition.
l see.
ln that case, that's fine.
Sora has a weakness.
But she doesn't have enough time to overcome it in two days.
l don't think l should say anything unnecessary right now.
lt all finally happens tomorrow.
l'm sure Sora is able to pull it off.
Oh, please let him decide to let Sora play Mina Murray.
ln only three days, she's gotten this good.
How is that possible ln order to be accepted by Leon, technique itself is not good enough.
l can't say Sora's performance is perfect, but there's a possibility that she could win.
l will not l will not let it happen.
l will not beaten by you.
l've not seen this kind of desperation in May for a long time.
Wow! You're pretty good, Sora.
She is something else.
Go, Sora! ln only three days, what could have changed? The composure she had at that time is completely gone? Because of Sora? lnteresting.
lf you want to be my partner, come up here.
Yes! l can't believe he jumped over there.
lt's a superhuman feat.
Will Sora be okay? What is he thinking? ln terms of the degree of perfection, May is better.
Sora's performance looks like she just learned how to skate.
When it comes to perfection, it's not worth talking about.
But She possesses something.
l don't know what it is But l definitely felt it then.
Something strange Something.
What the hell is it? l will not be beat by her! l will not lose! Never! At the same time? Sora! They can't reach l lost.
l couldn't be acknowledged by Mr.
Leon.
Sorry, Miss Layla.
Sorry, Mia.
She lost Why did he pick May? Sora Does this mean May won Leon's heart? Leon You're going to play Mina Murray.
Yes.
lt won't do me any good to keep moping about this.
The thing l have to do now is to make Dracula the best show.
Niagara Diving! l can hear it.
l can hear the applause they're giving us.
May, you found a good rival.
Grand Screw Jump! Here! Sora, you have a mysterious power.
Somehow, people around you are influenced by you, and start shining.
But, in order for you to shine, you have to overcome your weakness.
The fight between you two is just beginning.
But l'm looking forward to finding out which one of you becomes a real star.
Sekasu you ni muragaru Hard luck Nagasarete Time is over Yokoku douri Take it easy Tsuredasu yo imasugu Hurry up (here we go) Gouin only (saisoku drive) Nichijo miorosu best view Sunset point (favorite) Harbor light (stormy night) Asuno tame ni escape Bakansu nashi demo oashisu wa get Keitai off tte ai o charge shite Yasashisa dake ja iyasenai itami mo aru kara We are alone.

And so, to my surprise, Rosetta declared to Kalos that, unless she can master the trapeze in three days, she'd quit.
lt will be a crash course! Oh, dear.
lt seems she caught Sora's disease.
But since she's calling me her teacher, there's no choice.
l have to do it.
l have to! l have to! Next time, Kaleido Star, and Tears'' Next time, Kaleido Star, and Tears'' My wings are my dream and on towards the sky
