The Star's Amazing Prologue (Part 2)

Kaleido Stage.
lt's neither a circus, nor a musical.
lt's not a magic show either.
lt is the best entertainment show in the world.
And there was a girl who aspired to join this Kaleido Stage and got the leading role.
She is Sora Naegino, 16 years old.
However, the stage she dreamed of was taken away by a certain person.
Would Sora and her friends be able to get Kaleido Stage back?

only be seen by chosen ones.
Sora Naegino is the only one who can see me.
With her efforts and inborn spirit, she steadily climbed the ladder to be a star.
And finally, she realized a co-performance with Layla, the top star.
While Kaleido Stage was enjoying its big surge in popularity, Sora and her friends experienced ordeals which they never encountered before.
The treacherous Yuri Killian.
The current Kaleido Stage will be dissolved after today's show.
What?! Kaleido Stage will be dissolved? They could not believe their ears, but it was fact.
The Kaleido Stage was to be bought out and immediately disbanded.
And the mastermind behind it all was Yuri Killian.
Yuri was a star at Kaleido Stage, sharing the popularity with Layla.
And he had been secretly planning a takeover.
l won.
l defeated Kalos.
With the last show near at hand, Sora tried to tell Kalos, the owner, how she felt towards this performance, but Although today is our last show No BECAUSE it's the last show, let's make it to be the best show.
Boss, do you have anything you want me to tell everybody? There is one thing l want to say.
lf you're going to prepare yourself for the show like that, it's better not to do it.
What? Sora could not hide her agitation after the way Kalos brushed her off.
What do you mean by that? Sora could not hide her agitation after the way Kalos brushed her off.
What do you mean by that? What do you mean by that? Then, shortly afterwards, she even lost the ability to see me.
Then, shortly afterwards, she even lost the ability to see me.
Fool? Fool? Then, shortly afterwards, she even lost the ability to see me.
Hey, Fool! l have something l want you to listen to! Fool! Please answer me! l can't believe this.
l lost the ability to see Fool.
Listen, if you can see me, it means that you were chosen for the stage.
Once, there was a man who was able to see me.
The man l was talking about gradually lost the ability to see me.
Sora lost everything, Everything is gone all at once.
Sora lost everything, Everything is gone all at once.
and she didn't know what to do.
and she didn't know what to do.
l don't know what l should do at all.
and she didn't know what to do.
l don't know what l should do at all.
The words which cleared up her confusion came unexpectedly from Layla.
No matter how hard you guys try, your Kaleido Stage will be over after today.
l'm not thinking that today is the last day.
What? Hey, look at the reality, Layla.
Even if Kaleido Stage closes its door, it cannot close the door to my future.
lt will not be my last show, unless l wish it.
At least, if l couldn't believe that, l couldn't appear on this stage.
Sora! So, today is not the end of the show, is it? l want to appear on stage many more times with you.
Sora, hurry.
The curtain will be raised as scheduled.
Yes.
Maybe, l don't want to lose l don't want to lose the partner who motivates me this much Miss Layla! Where is Sora? She messed up her makeup right now, and She's fixing it.
Sora Oh, Miss Layla.
Oh l'm doing my best to hurry, but Give it to me.
l will do it for you.
What? Oh Miss Layla Don't talk.
l cannot do my work.
l enjoyed co-starring on stage with you.
Miss Layla Why would you say something like that? This is not the end, right? Now, it looks good.
Let's go, Sora.
Yes.
Fool Can you see me again? Yes, unfortunately.
The Sun.
This card represents hope for tomorrow.
Hope for tomorrow.
That's nice.
That's right! Starting tomorrow, our performance will start! And so, the curtain was dropped on the last show while everyone's thoughts were filled with mixed emotions.
Then, each member started walking their own path.
lt's amazing how the time flies.
And yet, not only are we far from creating our own Kaleido Stage, And yet, not only are we far from creating our own Kaleido Stage, To shine on that brilliant stage once again; And yet, not only are we far from creating our own Kaleido Stage, with that wish firmly in their minds, but also we have no jobs.
with that wish firmly in their minds, but also we have no jobs.
they trained on their own every day they trained on their own every day and worked hard at part-time jobs.
There, there, there! Meanwhile, Layla appeared in a movie, influenced in part by her father.
Cut! Each of them was living a new life.
One day, Sora and her friends got a chance.
l found you a job.
What! Look at this.
''Seeking performers to perform on the open stage at Marine Park?'' The scale of the stage is small, but they'll be able to appear on stage again.
We got some e-mail response.
Really? Everyone is coming! We're coming in! Wow! Sora! And so, all the old friends gathered, and they formed a new group, Freedom Lights.
And then came the date that they performed.
Sora and her friends put on a wonderful performance as if they were trying to vent all their frustration.
Their performance was a great success.
But somehow, Sora felt something was missing.
lf Miss Layla were here with us Just as she thought that Hey, Sora.
What's that? A mysterious Masked Star appeared and flew freely through the sky.
She showed off an amazing performance.
What's that? Amazing.
She nailed everyone's attention in an instant.
Thanks to this mysterious Masked Star's performance, Marine Park was packed day after day.
Plenty of time until the Masked Star's show.

Those kids! Call a rescue team quick! Yes! Melissa, go! Okay.
''The way she moves She must be'' Sora was convinced.
You're okay now.
She's going to crash! Hold on tight.
Shoot Good.
Sora avoided a disaster working in combination with the Masked Star.
l believe that the Masked Star is Miss Layla.
lf Miss Layla is with us, l think creating our own Kaleido Stage is possible.
However, Yuri's never-ending evil schemes struck at Sora and her friends once more.
And finally, the Masked Star's identity was disclosed.
After Yuri's interference forced Sora and her friends out of Marine Park, as their final hope, they decided to enter the world performance festival in Vancouver.
Oh, l know.
lf we get a good reputation, Marine Park's owner may reconsider us again.
Meanwhile, Layla was working her way through playing the lead role of the movie in London.
Don't worry.
lt's nice to hear the shoot is going smoothly.
This movie's success will decide your future.
lt's very important.
Yes, l know.
By the end of next week, we'll finally be shooting the climax scene.
l wish you success.
Thank you.
And then came the date for the festival.
What's this? ''Z''? Waiting for Sora and her Freedom Lights, was the local amateur group, ''Z'', who showed a similar performance to Sora's group's.
This is lt's the same as ours! Did they copy us? That's right.
This was also Yuri's scheme.
They're finished now.
They're getting wonderful cheers We can't afford to be beat by those guys! Just before they were ready to perform, Freedom Lights was cornered.
Now, what are we gonna do? All right, l understand.
l'll postpone the shoot 'til next week.
ln return, l expect the best performance out of you.
The person who appeared was that mysterious Masked Star.
And, Sora and her friends' performance started.
The Masked Star! Do you know what you're doing? Just when everyone was convinced of Freedom Lights' victory Don't get in my way! Layla! Why are you here? Today is supposed to be the day of the climax shoot.
l asked them to postpone the shoot.
What? l'm aware that l'm selfish.
But l couldn't just stand by and not do this.
l want to perform a perfect a perfect performance that makes me fully satisfied.
l want to receive the applause that makes my whole body tremble.
And right now, l have a partner who can make that possible.
Miss Layla! l've not finished my last show.
ln any case, make sure you finish the movie shoot.
After that, do whatever you want to do.
Miss Layla Miss Layla Layla decided to appear on stage again with Sora and the others.
Layla decided to appear on stage again with Sora and the others.
What? What? That was when the miracle happened.
That was when the miracle happened.
What? What? That was when the miracle happened.
What?! Can you see me? That's right.
Having resolved to live for the stage, she also became able to see me! Layla is chosen for the stage now.
lt is proof that you can challenge the legendary great maneuver.
The legendary great maneuver? A long time ago, it was tried once.
Since then, nobody has successfully performed that maneuver.
One person was frightened, and another challenged it recklessly and lost his life.
lf you're going to challenge that maneuver, you will be the second pair from Kaleido Stage to try it.
lt needs two stars.
What happened to the two before who failed? They died.
But, l think l'm able to do it if it's with you, Miss Layla.
The two had made up their minds and headed to the Grand Canyon for special training.
Waiting there was the one and only person who knew the legendary great maneuver.
Welcome.
l've not seen you for a long time.
Boss Are you ready? And so began Sora and Layla's excruciating ordeal.
The training they endured every day was hard; beyond anything the two ever imagined.
Contrary to Layla, who steadily managed to finish the assignments she was given, it took all Sora had just to keep up.
And then Miss Layla, why won't you say anything? Please say something.
Anything! l have nothing to say.
Brushed aside by Layla, the partner who Sora put so much trust in, Sora's confidence was shaken.
lt's a nuisance if you're going to prepare yourself with a dubious attitude.
lf quitting is better for Miss Layla, l After Sora lost her confidence, she headed to Layla's room with her mind set on quitting.
Miss Layla, l want to talk to you about something.
Miss Layla Ken Miss Layla is not here right now.
She's out running.
Running? At this time? Yes.
She's trying to lose weight.
Losing weight? That's right.
The greater the weight difference between the two performers, the less likely the legendary great maneuver will succeed.
Because of me, Miss Layla is doing this Because partners are supposed to be equal.
Thank you, Ken.
Miss Layla! Sora l'm sorry! l tried to run away.
Because the special training is hard and painful, l made an excuse and told myself that l don't have skills to be your partner, and l tried to run away by myself.
l'm sorry! l will never doubt myself any more.
l will work much harder and catch up with you.
And l'm going to perfect the legendary great maneuver by all means! We came all this way to do just that.
Yes.
Both Sora and Layla restored their trust in each other.
However, God imposed new ordeals on them.
Miss Layla! What's wrong? What's wrong? Due to her drastic weight loss, Due to her drastic weight loss, Layla grew dizzy.
lt's nothing.
Good.
lt seems like she is doing okay.
Layla was injured.
What cruel fate awaited them? At last, the time came to show the results of the special training.
However, after Layla smashed her right shoulder into the cliff, her condition worsened.
And it came to a point that her doctor told her not to perform.
lf we perfect the legendary great maneuver, And it came to a point that her doctor told her not to perform.
lf we perfect the legendary great maneuver, Still, her determination was not shaken.
the audience will come back again.
Still, her determination was not shaken.
the audience will come back again.
Sora and Layla's performance.
Finally, the time is ripe.
After they overcame cruel ordeals, the time came at last for Sora and Layla to challenge the legendary great maneuver.
lt doesn't look like they have any lifelines.
Somehow, l'm getting chills.
Let's start, Sora.
Yes.
l need to focus only on Miss Layla.
Come, Sora! Jump toward Miss Layla Both of you have wings on your back.
l'm not scared at all because l'm with Miss Layla.
l'm so happy.
l feel like crying.
l wish l could keep performing like this.
The brilliance of life that doesn't flinch at anything.
That is indeed the legendary great maneuver.
Not only is the legendary great maneuver dangerous, it's also an expression of a strong life that keeps even death at bay.
Aaron The maneuver which gives even the audience the strength to live That is the legendary great maneuver.
Let's do it with all our might.
Okay.
One, two, three! The applause that Layla had wished for; the grand applause that makes her whole body tremble.
However, the price for getting that applause was just too high.
l feel like l'm still flying.
However, the price for getting that applause was just too high.
However, the price for getting that applause was just too high.
At least l know l won't be able to appear on Kaleido Stage anymore.
What? lt's not true, is it? lt is true.
Kaleido Stage had lost Layla.
What will the fate of Sora and the others be?
