Aikatsu: Dream! Episode 2/Transcript

**Momo**: A passionate dream of becoming a top idol! Aikatsu! Dream is about to start!

(The episode begins with a montage of important events as Momo narrarates.)

**Momo:** My name is Momo Amachi. I'm your typical first-year middle school student; Or, I was before I became an idol, anyway! At first, I was hesitating becoming an idol, and I only did it to help out my friend Chou with her stage fright. But then, the most incredible thing happened! I saw this mysterious, incredible idol when she talked to Chou and I after our performance, and then all my doubts just magically melted away!

(Chou and Momo are in the hallway after class.)

**Chou**: Hey, do you want to go look at the auditions again today? I think I heard about one you’d like today in class.

(Momo is spaced out, unable to focus)

**Chou**: Hey Momo, can you hear me? You've been spacing out a lot lately, are you alright?

**Momo**: I’m sorry Chou, but I feel like I just need to know about that idol we saw at the type exam the other day. She just feels like something incredible, y'know? Didn't you feel it too?

**Chou**: (surprised) You mean no one else has already told you about her yet?

**Momo**: No, or at least I don’t think so anyway. Maybe they have, but she's too difficult to describe in words

(Momo blushes)...If that makes any sense?

**Chou**: (passionate) Alright then, it looks like I’m taking matters into my own hands. Momo, go back to our dorm room, and then prepare for some of the most valuable information that this academy can offer.

(The scene switches to their dorm room, and Chou has a couple of magazines, as well as her Aikatsu phone, set on a small table in the middle.)

**Chou**: Alright, are you ready for a lesson from the idol encyclopedia?

**Momo**: Yes, Chou-sensei!

**Chou**: (enthusiastically) That mystery idol, Madeline Sycamore, is the top idol of Polaris Academy! In other words, she’s the creme-de-la-creme of the entire school. She is also the Polaris Champion, but I’ll explain more on that later.

**Momo**: What's a top idol?

**Chou**: A top idol is the idol at the very first spot on the Aikatsu Ranking- A system that ranks every single idol in the system from top to bottom in order of skill level, popularity, and lots of other factors. There are several ways the ranking works- from class, to grade, to school, then to prefecture, and then in the entire country.  Becoming a top idol is every idol’s goal!

**Momo**: What do top idols do?

**Chou**: Well, they use cards to do their idol work, just like you and me, but they're a lot busier than the two of us put together. They can plan the most amazing performances, and it seems like it happens overnight! That's how much power they have in the world of idols!

(Chou blushes) Anyway, I think I got too far off of the subject. Madeline is the top idol of the school and the prefecture.

**Momo**: Oh! I thought of another question! Idols usually have a certain card type that they like to use, right? So, what's Madeline’s idol type?

**Chou**: That's something else that's special about her! Madeline is a Cute and Sexy type idol-but since she uses two types of cards equally, people call her a magical type idol.

**Momo**: Huh? But I could’ve sworn I heard Kisaragi-sensei say that brands could only have one type.

**Chou**: That’s usually true, but the headmaster designed a private brand for her that uses both types. Madeline's brand is based on her want to try every kind of Aikatsu, so the styles in her brand vary a lot. That's why she uses two card types!

**Momo**: Wait, you mean to say the headmaster is a designer?

**Chou**: Yup! He designs a private brand for Madeline known as Crystal Queen. Here are some of the coords from the brand, if you were wondering.

(Chou holds up her phone to show the Crystal Queen brand page. On it are a few Normal rarity cards from the brand.)

**Momo**: Wow! All of these dresses look so pretty! I wish I could have a private brand of my own one day.

**Chou:** Well, your going to have to work really hard as an idol before that happens. Private brands *are* only for the best of the best, after all.

**Chou**: And even that’s not all that’s amazing about Madeline. She’s so good with her appeals, and is so popular, she is known by idol fans all over as the Aikatsu Princess, or even just Princess, for short.

**Momo**: That’s incredible! She really is like an incredible princess, isn't she? Alright, now I’m going to try to become the top idol of the school too!

**Chou**: Well, if you ever do, it’ll take a while. Madeline did become the top idol rather quickly, but-

**Momo**: Hmm… now what else do I need to get myself fired up? I know! I want to go to one of Madeline's concerts soon!

**Chou**: Well, there’s one at a stadium nearby we could go to later tonight. And since we don't have any other work, of course...

**Momo**: Yay! Let’s go, Chou!

(The scene switches to the stadium at night, and Momo and Chou are wearing casual clothes.)

**Chou**: It’s starting!

(Madeline is onstage wearing the Blush Melody Coord. She waves to the audience for a little bit, and then the song, Starlight⋆Spotlight, starts)

Kagayaku hikari

(Madeline performs a Sexy Flash)

watashi sutāraito ⋆ supottoraito wa imadesu!

(Momo is blushing with her eyes wide in amazement, while Chou is cheering.)

**Momo:** Incredible Madeline's aura is even more incredible on stage! Someday, I want to perform with her on a stage like this too! I'm coming, Madeline!

(The scene then switches to their dorm room, when they are both in their beds. Chou is seen to be asleep, while Momo is still wide awake.)

**Momo**: (thinking) I can't sleep, my heart's still pounding! I wonder what Madeline is doing right now. Thank you for the incredible concert. If it means I can feel like that again, I promise I won't stop my idol activities. I promise I’ll catch up to you soon, Madeline!
