Tamon's B-Side (2025) s01e05 Episode Script

1
This makes 900.
I just need 100 more
to secure Tamon-kun's victory.
Cleaning Made Easy
Work's calling me?
Hello, this is Kinoshita.
Oh, Kinoshita-san?
I know this is sudden,
but are you free tomorrow afternoon?
Yes! I will take on all the work
to financially support Tamon-kun!
Well, that's good.
Someone personally asked
for you, so good luck.
Huh? Someone asked for me?
Who, though?
You're here.
Wha—
Ouri Sakaguchi AKA Gorilla!
If I become the center, come over to me!
I accept.
What do you want?
The winner hasn't been decided yet.
What's with that attitude?
I'm the customer here.
This is a separate matter.
H-Hey!
By the way
Is this place your
This is my parents' place.
I'm not made to live in such a cramped
and filthy apartment like that.
More importantly
Are you going out with him?
Huh? With whom?
Tamon.
Me? Go out with Tamon-kun?
I wuv you.
I know.
What?!
Tamon-kun would never settle for one girl.
He's someone who's eventually going to
make all of humanity his girlfriends.
Disparage him again, and I'll turn you
into dust for your sacrilege.
Knock it off with that weird aura.
If you're not, it's fine.
That's all I wanted to know.
Now, leave.
You called me all the way here
to ask me that?!
Please don't waste our time Huh?
Hey, wait! Huh?
Sakaguchi-san?!
Hey!! It's just like sweeet magic!! Aha!
Hi, it's me!
The one with that killer smile!
Stealing your gaze with a shocking style!
Smooth as ever, I escort you
And this voice, seducing you
Ah, come on, let's dance;
I'm aiming straight for your heart
I am your ace darlin'
Confidence? Yeah, I've got plenty
Please Please
Whisper just to me, call my name
You're too popular,
it drives me crazy and I'm not okay
But I'm sorry, losing's not my thing
Hey, girl
Look this way!
I see your smile, smile, smile,
I wanna make it all mine
Crash, crash, crash,
our special connection shines
Dance, dance,
our world is non-stop groovin'
I'll show you my perfect
A-side, side, side
And my private B-side, side, side;
I'll show you everything
So take my hand and let's roll
Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!
Sweetie honey Sweetie honey
Sweetie honey Sweetie honey
It's a spell that makes your heart race
We can't go back
You're falling in love with me, c'mon!
Sweetie honey
Sweet Sweet Sweet magic!!
It's hot That's cold!
Are you awake?
Wh-What are you doing here?!
Also, don't just put a cooling pad on me!
You don't know me like that!
Two of the five of the rounds
to determine the center have ended
5th
4th
3rd
and Tamon-kun and Ouri-kun
are currently tied for first place.
1st
No one knows how
it's going to end just yet.
And currently
I told you to leave!
A nursing event activated.
And it's not even with my oshi.
How could I leave when
you literally collapsed right on me?
When were talking earlier,
you thought that Gloomyhara-san
and I were in a special relationship,
and you summoned me here
to find out the truth.
What else was I supposed to do?
I had no other way of contacting you.
Well, no matter the reason,
I did all I could in the allotted time
since I came here for work.
Wha—But why?
I thought you hated me.
This is my job.
Hey
Come back tomorrow.
Please make your appointments
over the phone.
Well, please take care.
I'm exhausted since his house was so big.
Next, I have to go
to Gloomyhara-san's place
Am I nervous?
I haven't seen Gloomyhara-san
since the summer festival.
I saw various sides of him
that I'd never seen before
so I
Uta-chan.
Hngh!
I'm sure that was just
Hottiehara-san peeking through!
Kill me now.
Thank goodness
it's just business as usual.
Kinoshita-san
Did you go to Ouri-kun's place?
H-How did you know?
Me
She came over.
Look.
Ouri-kun told me.
Why would he tell Tamon-kun that?
He's asked me to come by again tomorrow,
so I'll go by and take care of him
Is Ouri-kun sick?!
Huh? You didn't know?
He didn't come to rehearsals today.
He just said he was taking the day off.
Did he just not want us
to know he was weakened?
He's like some wild animal.
Is he all right?
His parents were apparently abroad,
so they weren't home,
but I'll go see how he's doing
again tomorrow.
You just focus on yourself,
Gloomyhara-san.
Right.
Your fever's gone up since yesterday.
It has not!
It has.
Nuh-uh!
Gloomyhara-san was worried about you.
Don't talk about him.
Just like Tamon-kun,
I bet Ouri-kun's under a lot of pressure
during this competition for the center.
Can those two just not get along?
Huh?
Pardon me.
Gloomyhara-san?!
What the hell are you doing here?!
I came to see how you're doing.
White Sugar
I know you like sweet things,
but I didn't know exactly what.
I don't want any!
That's not even funny! Leave!
White Sugar
Oh, okay. I'll return to the earth now.
Please stop!
He was just scared you'd yell at him
for picking the wrong thing.
So annoying!
Usually, you'd avoid me like
the plague, so what gives?
Well, you've never had to skip rehearsals
because you were sick before,
so I got worried
Oho? So you came here because
you were concerned about me?
If that's true, then put yourself to work.
Hmph. For my sake.
I've been to bigger homes
for work a number of times,
but this is the first one with a pool.
This is my first time coming over,
so I'm also surprised.
Um
How exactly do you feel about
Sakaguchi-san, Gloomyhara-san?
He scares me.
Ouri-kun hates me.
But I can't blame him.
When I came out to Tokyo to audition
and was basically a lost, little puppy,
Ouri-kun was the one who
taught me all kinds of things.
Audition\hVenue
Today's venue is over there.
Th-Thank you very much.
You can be my minion.
Ask me anything.
Okay!
And yet
In first place is
Tamon Fukuhara!
Huh?
I figured I couldn't hold anything
he said to me against him.
I'd even be willing to give up
the center spot to him.
But lately, something's different.
I've been feeling like there
must be some other way
That's what I thought when I heard
that Ouri-kun wasn't feeling well.
I don't like having to compete
with Ouri-kun when he's not at his best.
I think I sort of understand
why Ouri-kun's so irritated with me.
So this time
I'm not holding back.
An angel?
Whoa!
Quit your useless yappin' and get to work!
Ouri-kun.
Please get over your cold
as soon as possible.
Because I'll defeat you
with everything I have.
That's some big talk.
This time, I'll make sure I crush you
so hard that there'll be nothing left.
Go out in a blaze of glory.
I-I'm not going out!
What? Who do you think you are, huh?!
Um, I am older than you, you know
You got a problem?
You should be in bed.
Uta
Shut up! Don't tell me what to do!
That's cold!
Hey! Come back here, you dumb minion!
I'm not your minion
What? I made you one when we first met.
And so, their battle continued
P-Please don't spray me with water.
Utage Kinoshita
I'll just keep doing it!

For some reason, we had
perfectly copied Tamon-kun's dance
and shot a dance cover video.
First appearance!
The final battle is going to
be a singing battle.
Ah, it's F/ACE!
It'll all come down to their abilities.
I wonder who's going
to win center.
It's gotta be Tamon-kun.
F/ACE's Battle for the Center
Starting at 3:30PM Saturday
N Station Summer Fes Begins!!
There's news regarding the popular group F/ACE,
as the final results of
their competition for center
will be announced live at the
N Station Summer Fes venue.
Thank you again for today.
It was nothing. Please excuse me.
Tamon-kun looks so relieved
after talking to Ouri-kun.
I'm so glad that he seems
to be in good spirits.
Huh?
Tamon-kun
I guess she forgot this.
Thanks for the other day, I guess.
Don't worry about it.
It looks like you're feeling better now.
Of course, I am!
You saw the third round, didn't you?
And how brilliantly I won!
Well, Tamon-kun won the fourth round.
So what?
The last competition is a singing one.
I'm gonna leave everyone else
in my dust and win!
But
I don't like having to compete
with Ouri-kun when he's not at his best.
Please
do your best until the very end.
Tamon-kun
You
I'm sure that Tamon-kun will be happy
if Ouri-kun is able to do his best.
Please be careful not to
catch a cold again.
I'll take back our agreement from before.
Huh?
But
If I win, be my fan.
Tamon
Then
We all belong to the Church of Tamon
If Tamon-kun wins, please become his fan!
I don't need this crap!
Take that!
How dare you?!
Hey!
RAIN—rain is falling
You're still here?
I'm sorry. I just wanted to
practice a little longer.
You sure are working hard,
but don't overdo it.
Yes, sir.
He's asleep.
Gloomyhara-san, who lives his life
always cowering over something,
Mostly lives in a corner
is asleep in front of someone
completely unguarded? What in the world?!
But you know
After taking a break on his eyelashes,
you could probably use
his cheeks as a slide.
We live in the same dimension,
so how is this one person so high-res?!
Everyone who lines up next to Tamon-kun
is basically reduced to pixel art!
In a different world, he might've been
sentenced to death from beauty harassment!
I wonder if this is what it'd be like if
Cleopatra reincarnated as a hot guy.
But his face seems
paler than usual somehow.
Hm?
Don't push yourself too hard.
Please do your best until the very end.
There is definitely something
resting on my back right now.
There's no way that
it's Tamon-kun, is there?
"Things like that only
happen in your dreams."
That's what Imaginary Gramma
always used to say.
Wait. Did I fantasize so much that I'm not
just seeing them, but also feeling them?
Because I got too excited
seeing my oshi asleep? Oh, shit.
Wait. Tamon-kun's working so hard!
This isn't the time to be fantasizing!
Utage, you need to get to work!
Tomorrow's finally the last battle.

Go Back
Everything will be decided soon.
Tamon
Please
Please
Tamon
Let Tamon-kun be rewarded
for all his hard work.
Aw man
I totally would've had a chance
Currently in 4th Place
Natsuki Ishibashi
if we didn't have that
weird physical competition.
Could we not do something so outdated?
Currently in 5th
Rintaro Kai
Quit moping about it.
They said there'd be bonus points
depending on how we ranked
in today's competition, remember?
Currently in 2nd
Keito Tachibana
There's still a chance
you can turn this around.
Must be nice to be
so calm in second place.
I wouldn't say I'm calm at all.
Oh?
Good morning, Tamon.
What's up? It's rare for you to be late.
Good morning
Huh?
Your voice is all raspy! What happened?!
Oh, Ouri.
Morning.
Good morning
Huh?!
You'll all be singing
the new song "RAIN" in full today.
I'm sure you've all
practiced your hearts out.
Make sure you give it your all
so you won't have any regrets.
You've got this, Tamon-kun!
Let the final battle
to determine the center begin!
Singing Expert
Way to go, Tamon-kun! He definitely
secured the center with that!
Unlike the first round,
it actually sounded
like he was singing a ballad
about heartbreak, didn't it?!
Yeah! He did his best and was shining!
It actually seemed like he was
holding back his radiance
He's never sung like that before, has he?
but it also seemed like
he wasn't doing that well.
We saw another new side of Tamon!
Right?
No! As Tamon-kun's fan,
I need to believe in him!
All five episodes have
concluded without issue.
The results are as I just told you.
The new song's pre-release at N Station's
Summer Fes is just around the corner.
I need you all to start practicing
the parts you've been assigned immediately.
Also
Ouri, Tamon!
What was that miserable display?!
You might've fooled the viewers,
but you can't deceive me or the judges!
Are you really the same two that competed
for first and second at the audition?
Practicing too much and overwork
are both signs of failure!
To become the best in the world,
you need to perform
at 2,000% at any time!
F/ACE doesn't need any imperfections!
There's so much fan merch!
I'm gonna get this pink one.
Victory
Hey look at this one.
Obviously a must-buy.
Hm
The more I rewatch it, the more
it looks like he wasn't doing very well.
What am I going to do if Tamon-kun
doesn't become the center?
I wonder how Gloomyhara-san's
feeling right about now
I hope he's not all depressed from
doomscrolling for his name.
Have you been eating something
other than cup noodles?
Have you been sleeping in your bed?
Let's make a banner, too!
We were allowed to bring those in, right?
Yeah, we can this time!
Heck yeah! Now, then
You're not obsessing
and crying again, are you?
I never worried like this
before meeting Gloomyhara-san
Am I a failure as a fan?
You usually just practice
exactly as you're told to
without saying anything
about how you feel
Yet you choose now to
act up and self-destruct?
How stupid are you?
Yeah, but you didn't do
well this time either, Ouri-kun.
Shut up! I always sorta choke
when it counts!
I tried too hard and basically imploded.
Meaning, it's all your fault.
What?
And what happened to you?
There are even more people
supporting me now
and that made me happy.
At the same time, I got
overwhelmed with the feelings
of absolutely not wanting
to fail or betray them.
It's weird.
The more they're nice to me,
the more happy and scared I become.
I start to wonder what I'll do
if I ever lose them
and then I get scared again.
Gross.
There are going to be
some fans who drift away.
And there'll be some fans who won't.
There's no point in thinking
about something so obvious.
I just don't get it.
I thought I understood that in my head
But maybe I just thought I understood.
All those kind words and yet
What the heck am I even doing?
How long are you gonna dwell
on what happened in the past?

Tamon FTW
Wow, I think most of the
people here are here for F/ACE.
I'm starting to get nervous!
We're finally going to learn the results.
Thank you all for waiting!
The competition to decide the center
has finally reached its conclusion!
We'll find out which member is the center
with today's performance!
Tamon-kun! You've got this!
He always sparkles onstage
and presents us with a dream
I love that Tamon-kun
lets us escape reality.
But behind that,
exists a very real Tamon-kun
This is F/ACE with "RAIN."
With raindrops soaking my shoulders
I even forgot that I'd forgotten
my umbrella somewhere
You did it, Keito!
Why, though?!
Ah, the brightness shines
on my emptiness
Loneliness melts away my resentment
The one who stresses out,
gets depressed, fails
That day I met you
And cries his eyes out a lot
And the day we both got
drenched in the rain
Tamon-kun didn't make it
Even then, he didn't run away in the end.
The rain I knew—
No way This can't be real
And now that I know that about him
Was it always
Tamon-kun will
always be the center in my heart
Tamon-kun will always be the center in my heart
This cold?
I just can't help but be
even more devoted to him.
Tamon-kun will
always be the center in my heart
I realize it only now
RAIN starts falling
Washing everything away
Why couldn't I realize it back then?
The sky in a morning without you—
so carelessly clear
Tamon-kun will
always be the center in my heart
The RAIN won't stop
Under the sky, I start running
Ouri Love
Tamon Love
It's a new start - My days with you
I tuck them into my heart
and now I take a new step forward
Thank you for being there
RAIN—rain is falling
