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 49:
Kirari tries to reason with Akane, asking her (in private) why she's attempting to tarnish her name. But this dark-haired beauty can't be reached - their reasons for getting into the business are completely different (in fact, Kirari's would be considered completely shallow in comparison) - and so the deception goes on. In fact, they secretly omit already filmed scenes of Kirari in their series of commercials they're producing for Galaxy, and try to make her as unnoticable as possible for future ones. Understandably angry, it's a lose/lose for everyone close to Kirari - this scandal makes her look bad, but if she quits doing the commercials, she will still look bad. Will Akane come to understand this isn't the right way to achieve fame, or can things only get messier?
Episode 50:
Akane has politely bowed out of the Idol Queen competition per Kirari's inspiration. Now's it's just Kirari and Aoi with their eyes on the "throne." It's friendly competing, with the girls only wishing for the other to do their best. But the Higashiyama company is so furious with Akane's self-removal (which they then fired her for) they go and have Kirari's first concert in her country-wide tour cancelled. Will Kirari meet the same fate as Kumoi-san?
Nice job of "hiding" who is saying bad things about Kirari, guys XD (Hey, Erina, I see you!). Watching Kirari and everyone in the Cinderella commercial made me think of Morning Musume's upcoming Cinderella musical. This was made long before the announcement, but I couldn't help it.
Wow, deja vu, huh? Kirari almost got the same fate as poor Kumoi-san in the "cancelling the concert behind your back, because you ticked us off" department. But, of course, she came through and SHIPS helped her. What the chairman did was VERY sweet - he made up for what he couldn't do for Kumoi-san. But now the president of Big H can't do anymore underhanded tricks to Kirari, so I wonder what they'll try next?
