Aikatsu: Dream! Episode 1/Transcript

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

The scene cuts to Chou showing Momo the gazebo on the campus of Polaris Academy; Momo is narrating over it.

Momo: My name is Momo Amachi, and I'm your typical first-year middle school student; Well, I want to be your typical middle school student, anyway. But first, I need to help my friend get over her stage fright;

(The scene moves to show the school building) So for now, I've become an idol student at the idol training school, Polaris Academy.

Chou: (starry-eyed) and this is the gazebo, where idols meet up and talk! I wonder if we’ll ever meet up here and talk, right Momo?

Momo: (snapped out of a daze) Yeah, Chou. 

''I really only became an idol to help Chou get past her stage fright, and I’m probably going to transfer back to my old school when she does,  but I guess learning new things is nice. ''

Momo: Y'know, Chou, I'm only gonna be an idol until you can preform by yourself. You didn't have to prepare this whole tour for me.

Chou: But think of the possibilities, Momo! There are hundreds, maybe even thousands of girls who auditioned for your same spot, and you got chosen! I'm sure the judges saw an idol's light in you! No, I'm sure of it! After all, we were chosen by Madeline herself.

Momo: Who's-

(Chou's stopwatch goes off)

Chou: Ah! It's time we get going to our next stop!

(Chou grabs Momo’s hand and walks with her quickly. The scene then cuts to the audition hall.)

Momo: (narrating) Chou says idols take audition using Aikatsu Cards to dress up. Fashion's never really interested me before, but that's just one more reason I'm not fit to be a real idol.

Chou: Here we are, the last stop on our tour! The audition hall, where idols can look at all sorts of auditions using these billboards.

(Chou walks with Momo until they find an audition that catches Chou’s eye.)

Chou: Hmm… a live exam by the school to find out what cards would be best for new first year idols to use. This could be interesting, and I want to make sure that I'm using the right cards...What do you say Momo, will you perform with me?

Momo: Sure, when is it?

Chou: It says here we only have a few days left to prepare, so we’re going to have to train really hard. I think we can do it if we’re together though, right?

Momo: Alright, if you really want to do this, then let’s go get ready! I have one question though…

Chou: Yes?

Momo: What are card types?

(Chou looks at her in shock and slight embarrassment before returning to normal, looking both ways to make sure nobody else heard that. After, she breathes a sigh of relief.)

Chou: Aikatsu cards are separated into four different types, depending on the style: Cute, Cool, Sexy, and Pop. Brands are also separated like that, but we’ll get into brands later.

Momo: (thinking) I wonder what kind of card type I’ll like… It doesn’t really matter anyway, I’ll be out of the school and go back to being a normal girl before I know it.

Chou: (excited) Anyways, let’s head back to the dorm and start out first official practice session as real idols!

Momo: (less enthusiastic) Yeah...

(A montage is shown of them practicing and exercising, while Momo voices over)

Momo: (voiceover) We practiced and practiced... and training for an audition is really hard work! I wonder why Chou thinks the life of an idol is for me?

Momo: In a few days’ time, though, the day of our first performance, the card type exam, arrived.

(The scene changes to outside of the dressing room, then changes to the interior)

Momo: Hey, Chou, I know you might be feeling kind of scared, performing on stage and all.

Chou: (Faking a smile) Don't worry about me! As long as I'm with you up there, I'll feel like I can do anything!

Announcer: (over the speaker) Entrants 306 and 307 report to the stage, please, can we have Entrants 306 and 307 report to the stage.

(Momo and Chou run to the dressing rooms and change into the Apricot Melody Coord and Purple Melody Coord, respectively. They arrive on the Charming Ribbon stage, and the song starts.)

(The two girls then leave the stage)

Chou: That felt great! Thank you, Momo! I can’t wait to see the results!

(The results pop up on a nearby screen. Momo is revealed to be fit to be a cute type, while Chou is a sexy type)

Chou: (perks up) Really? No way, this is great! I’ve always wanted to use Spicy Ageha!

Momo: So I’m a cute type huh? I wonder what kind of clothes they make…

Madeline: (Walks towards Momo and Chou) Good choices, both of you! Spicy Ageha is a classic with a wide library of cards to choose from, so it's perfect for beginners! And as for you... (Madeline takes a moment to examine Momo, then nods to herself.

Madeline: Try Angely Sugar. The cute, simple style will accent your simple charms.

(Chou and Momo turn around to come face to face with Madeline after she’d just got done talking with her father, whose aura is flowing out slightly)

Madeline: (blushing slightly) Oh! Sorry for the sudden interruption, but I just can't help myself this time of year. I'm Madeline Sycamore, the top idol of Polaris Academy. It's a pleasure to meet both of you.

Madeline: (with a stern yet kind look) You two both have a lot of potential. I’ll be looking forward to seeing your idol activities from now on. (Her phone rings, and she leaves to take the call)

(Madeline walks off, her aura still flowing behind her)

Chou: (flabbergasted and babbling) She’s…that’s…can you… so…

Momo: (whispering and starry-eyed) It’s a promise, mystery idol.
