Kirarin Revolution, episodes 87 & 88

(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 87:

Now it's Kirari's turn - Black Wood wants her to join his new company! Smartly, she refuses. But it's nowhere near over. Black Wood is gaining more and more power, dominating the TV waves with his celebrities, and basically manipulating the head honchos into cancelling appearances from other companies. He then contacts Kirari again, telling her that if she doesn't join him, Muranishi and all the other talents in it will suffer until there is no fame for anyone at all.

Episode 88:

Kirari has quit Muranishi and joined Black Wood to save her friends. But this "new life" is proving to be more painful than she could've imagined. Not only have they banned her from eating sweets, she is trained to walk a certain way and can't, under any circumstances, break a smile. In other words, she must be the complete opposite of what she once was, conforming to a specific image Black Wood has laid out for her.
