(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).
Episode 25:
Kirari has Hiroto's shirt from the other day, and comes to his home to return it. She runs into Hiroto, Seiji, and Hiroto's shrill brother as she reaches the door, so they get her to come inside. While Kirari half-heartedly listens to everyone talk about the latest kids collectable card fad involving fish, they hear about the newest and hottest male idol group, RHINOCEROS, on TV. Without thinking, Kirari blurts out that Hiroto is 100 times cooler than they are (and immediately tries to cover up the blunder). Very embarrassed (especially after Hiroto whispers to her that with talk like that, she'll never win Seiji over), she runs home practically in tears, believing she doesn't mean much to Hiroto, either. The day of the final round, Kirari still isn't done, so Seiji goes to buy pancakes to calm her nerves. Hiroto reminds her again to write about Seiji. He says that it may not be tomorrow or next week, but someday Seiji will like her. On the performance front, Fubuki is first, and she has RHINOCEROS as backup dancers. Hiroto is angered by this trick and tells Seiji (who has just arrived with the pancakes) they will go on with Kirari and even the odds. Kirari insists on doing it alone, however, and stops the idea. Still wanting to help, Hiroto pulls in a favor and has fireworks go off during her song. He seems upset that Kirari will probably like his partner even more now (he doesn't say it out loud - it's a thought). At the end, the winner is about to be announced.
Episode 26:
It will be a half hour before voting is cut off, so everyone goes to do their own thing, and come back when the results are ready. Fubuki chases away the time at a window, thinking about her past as a model - she just can't lose to a brat like Kirari. Kirari, meanwhile, is near SHIPS, watching the TV, but can't bear to see the colored bar chart counting the votes, and leaves. She spots Fubuki, and is about to talk to her (she thinks, since they are both idols, they should get along and be friends) SHIPS comes up and tells her that they put in their votes. Fubuki shows them that both of her pets have been helping, too - but so has Naa-san, so she can't brag about how smart they are. "Nojo's Hot Idol Award" of that year goes to Kirari, and Fubuki seems hurt and confused. She's always been #1 at everything she does, so this is quite an ego blow. Kirari gives Fubuki the "royal robe," saying that she loses to Fubuki in a lot of ways, but has her own good qualities - so they are both #1 idols. After the show, Kirari is quickly bombarded with reporters. But Hiroto saves the day, runs off with her, and slips her a work memo for the next day - without so much as a congratulations on her hard-earned accomplishment. The work memo turns out to be a surprise celebration party, and even Fubuki is there, though she's only minimally friendly. While there they also find out that Mya-san is related to Nayan and Naa-san (and that Fubuki and Kirari met the day they were all adopted). Oh, and Kirari and Hiroto get a few moments alone outside, but things quickly get awkward when Kirari falls on top of him, and Arashi makes an appearance, accusing Hiroto of trying to make a move.
Because I'm an idiot, I keep calling that RHINOCEROS group, the HIPPOS XD I guess it's better that way - it's funnier, at least. Lots more Hiroto/Kirari fluff.
