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 35:
Kirari is going to be a police officer for the day at an elementary school. Her assigned partner is a very strange man named Keiji Atsui, who can sit at a 90 degree angle without a chair, and believes food should play a part in any police activity. Together they have to find and defeat a mysterious figure called Phantom X, who leaves notes around the school declaring he will steal all precious items. Pretty soon everything is pinned on a boy scout, Ohkami, who was spotted in the areas where notes were left, and seems to find the the whole thing hilarious. Kirari steps in to defend him and makes it her goal to find the "real" criminal, thereby freeing the boy from these accusations. Eventually Ohkami is moved to tears by her actions and confesses to be the culprit. However, when a final note is delivered and it was not written by Ohkami, they realize they may have a real case on their hands, especially when Naa-san could be in danger.
Episode 36:
At Fubuki's complaint that Kirari's cat is stealing too much limelight, a celebrity pet show is organized by the Higashiyama Company. Because Hiroto does not have a pet, he is only a guest spectator - but Seiji, Kirari, Erina, Arashi, and other recurring characters join in on the game. The first trial is testing the pet's intelligence; they have to jump through a sheet with the correct answer for a question (such as 76 minus 54), but if they get it wrong they land in a pile of mud and are disqualified. Not surprisingly, Fubuki and the president of Higashiyama's pets get the super easy stuff. The second trial involves finding assigned items in the audience - poor Kirari gets the rather impossible item of a dinosaur, but Naa-san cleverly digs up the bones of a T-Rex in record time to make the time limit. In the final trial, the animals must lift objects chosen by their owner out of a box, as written on a piece of paper. Seiji's turtle has to lift a microwave, Arashi's cat a vase, and so on. Still more bias for people from Higashiyama ensues (disguised this time to look like there isn't any), and Hiroto does not miss this. For the final round, each pet must run an obsticle course, ending with landing in their owner's arms. Who will finally come out on top in this race for a jaded collar and trip around the world?
Silly, filler, skippable episodes, the both of them. Do idols actually do things like play law enforcer for a day? I've never heard of them doing that. They might dress up like one for reporters to, I don't know, promote a safety issue or something - I could see that, but not this. Oh well.
