The network aims to attract an audience for this special any way they can!
[Does "uchi to shite" mean "speaking for my company"?]
[What does the phrase "nani-nani no medama ni motte kuru" mean?
"hold the eyes" as in "capture the audience"?]

so but that girl <t> unexpected

Yes, but I'm surprised you'd choose her! She's still so young and
innocent!
[This may need to change to follow on from the previous line.]

gutless performance give intend ?
Are you going to give them a wimpy performance?
[fu-nukeru => (lit) to lack bowels => to be gutless, spineless,
cowardly, wimpy. I'm pretty sure of this, but the word isn't actually
in any of my references.]

Whose lips are these?

consistent (and accurate) translation.]

What're you doin'? You can take part too, ya know!

あたしもっともっとふたば君に活躍してほいの！

Is this correct?]
