(きらりん☆レボリューション) 2006
Kirari (voiced by Koharu Kusumi of Morning Musume!) is a middle schooler who LOVES her food. So much so that it's scary! While girls her age swoon over idols, Kirari swoons over her dad's cooking, and couldn't care less about the life of a celebrity. But when she saves the pet turtle of Seiji of pop group SHIPS and falls in love, she decides to become an idol herself so that they can be together (or so she hopes).
Kirari has been asked to star in a two hour long drama by big producer Takada Pianu (who has held 30% of TV viewership with his works), and since the only role she's ever held is a tree in a school play, this is a big step. The real kicker is that the story involves romance. This completely freaks her out - she hasn't even had her first kiss yet! Arashi catches wind of this movie deal, and decides that he will be the one to claim Kirari's first kiss.
The poor girl obsesses about it for quite awhile. It's her belief that a first should be with someone you like, and Seiji (whom she fantasized as the male), doesn't even feel that way about her. When Hiroto finds her on the school roof, talking to Naa-san about it, he tells her that idols need to smile even through jobs they hate. It's not all fun, and though Kirari became an idol to be with Seiji, there is no guarantee that he could even take the role. However, her own feelings are most important, and she should think carefully about whether or not she wants to be in the drama.
SHIPS is called to meet Mr. Pianu, who has decided that one of them will star with Kirari. But Arashi interrupts the meeting, wins over the producer with his good looks (and argument that her FIANCE should be kissing her), and is added to the list - there are now 3 potential men for the role. That's not good enough for Arashi - that night he talks Nayan into faking injury, and while Pianu tries to help him, he is hynotized and told who will be playing Kirari's love interest. The script is also rewritten, and "Sonata of Love and Youth" is no more.
The new script involves Kirari playing a fish store owner's daughter, while Seiji and Hiroto receive degrading roles as a road worker and "unfined" boy (I have no clue what that means, it's what the subtitles say - maybe "undefined"). Nobody is happy and everyone is confused. Hiroto quickly catches on that this must be one of the illusionist's little tricks, and Nayan saves Kirari from being aggressively kissed by throwing 10 yen at his owner's mouth. Moved by his cat's actions (and tears), Arashi tells everyone that when he moved to Osaka, all he had for friends were Nayan and sea creatures, his only hope being seeing Kirari again someday. Though he won't do something like this again, he can't allow Kirari to fall for anyone, and won't give up on his "target." Takada Pianu is then released from the spell.
Who gets the role? Hiroto!!
Oooh, the plot thickens. I swear that Pianu guy could pass as Mr. Nice's twin. Maybe Japan is rampant with bald-headed weirdos :D
