Kirarin Revolution, episodes 41 & 42

(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 41:

Kirari (and another performer, Aoi Kirisawa) is putting on a special concert for customers of Rainbow Brand makeup. The president of Higashiyama, in her quest to get a product for Akane, is repeatedly rejected by the company, and vows to ruin the concert as revenge. How? By buying everything in the stores, and giving the concert tickets to middle-aged women who don't care at all about idols. Can Kirari and Aoi distract them from gossip and grocery store flyers long enough to entertain and make them happy?

Episode 42:

All artists from Muranishi are performing at Happy Land. Kirari wants to explore the park between shows, but has been forbidden - if an idol is spotted walking around, things will get crazy. But this place holds many childhood memories for the girl, and she simply can't hold back. While exploring, she bumps into a woman in a pink outfit (known as Pink EatRanger, a popular character), injuring them. In no condition to take part in the EatRanger show starting soon, Kirari offers to take her place. But can she manage a rehearsed fighting show? Will she make it back to where she was never supposed to have left on time?

I take it Daimonji is going to come back again and again, like Mr. Fish Lips from the run-down hotel episode? Oh, goodie :P If this story took place in America, the women would probably want to see Barry Manilow XD

EatRangers!? I never saw them eat once. Oh wait, I did see them fighting evil food. But then, shouldn't they be the FoodRangers? Ah well, it was a cute episode. Worth it if only to see Hiroto dressed like an evil cabbage.
