Kirarin Revolution, episodes 63 & 64

(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 63:

Kirari has been assigned the job of helping Hikaru overcome her stage fright problem. It'll be tough, but it must be done if a successful debut is to take place. She seems to do OK, and even manages to sing in front of a small audience, but still has not warmed up to her supposed mentor. Hikaru even calls her a bother at one point and tells her to leave the room. Kirari is understandably hurt, but she still shows up for a special concert in which Hikaru is set to appear as a guest. Poor Hikaru, however, is still very much not in the clear, and runs off stage when the spotlight is on her. Since it seems even perky and friendly Kirari can't reach the newbie, will it be up to SHIPS push past her wall of fear?

Episode 64:

Hikaru still isn't ready to go it alone, so the chairman decides Kirari will be paired up with her in a singing "unit" called KiraPika. An old "friend" of the mouse director also shows up and is introduced to Hikaru as a means of motivation - but Hikaru hates cats, and that's exactly what "Fuu" is. What's worse, Fuu went to the same university as Naa-san and holds a burning hatred for him. Naa-san was always number one in grades and popularity, leaving the other cat frustrated and angry. This meeting can't be good. And even worse? "Izumi" is back, and "she's" as determined as ever to win Hiroto's heart. With Fuu challenging Naa-san to a competition and Izumi challenging Kirari to the same, what a crazy, combined spectable that will be!
