Kirarin Revolution, episodes 47 & 48

(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 47:

When Erina overhears a conversation between two staff members about an Idol Queen competition, she mentally snaps at their idea that she is inferior to Kirari and couldn't possibly win against her. Deciding to overhaul her image, Erina becomes a "sukeban" (which means something like "female juvenile delinquent") just in time for them both to appear on a TV show that tests your nerves. Can Erina prove she is better than her idol rival in matters of bravery? Will all the outfits and personality trimmings in the world still never change who Erina really is?

Episode 48:

Aoi Kirisawa and Akane Minami are the big condenders for the Idol Queen competition, but Kirari is also being invited into the mix by the suits in charge. Absolutely thrilled, Murinashi gambles on this honor and plans a country-wide tour to garner support. But, of course, the famous Higashiyama company can't exactly sit back and let the girl get ahead in anything. They call up the chairman and ask SHIPS and Kirari to be in a series of Galaxy Technology commercials with Akane, but despite knowing their nasty history, Muranishi agrees anyway. This proves to be potentially fatal to Kirari's career after she is accused of stealing something from Akane. What will happen now?


Poor Erina :( She's goofy but I love her character. Happy to see a episode dedicated to her. Maybe Arashi could make her feel better? XD I'm sorry, I can't help but ship them!

And, ooh, drama time! The Big H never lets up.
