Kirarin Revolution, episodes 97 & 98

(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 97:

Kirari is absolutely impressed with a Hollywood star named Luna, who just so happens to be Japanese. After watching Luna's debut film and witnessing a scene where Luna's character is rescuing her daughter, SHIPS gets into a conversation with her about how hard it must be to live without her own mom. Kirari claims she is happy with her dad and Naa-san, not needing anything else. She takes the movie pamphlet home with her, and soon after leaving it with her dad, he finds himself drawn to a character on the front.

Episode 98:

Kirari is already struggling with her audition to get a part in Luna's new movie. She's supposed to find her "best" fan within two hours, and bring them back to the studio, but she doesn't know how to narrow it down. Meanwhile, the other idols are already done, but the twist they get isn't traditional for Hollywood. If they get through that, there's one more test that even Kirari would probably rather eat a live bear than do.
