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 101:
Everybody is becoming concerned for Kirari's health, so SHIPS, Hiroto's mom and siblings, the chairman and Kumoi-san pay her a visit bearing food. She is temporarily cheered up and when she attempts to ask for Hiroto's help on the matter, one of Hiroto's brothers injures himself. Watching the little boy being comforted by his mom is too much for Kirari to handle. After receiving a phonecall from Tina (and remembering hearing Lucusberg suggesting either she or Fubuki replace her in the film), she runs off in tears. Then Lucusberg summons her and declares that the sakura tree in the film will be losing it's bloom soon, so Kirari only has one more day to prove herself. The whole project's success rests in her hands. And Luna doesn't appear to care or want to help. How could such a cold woman be her mother?
Episode 102:
Kirari's little family is whole again - but what's this? Luna (real name Urara) wants to take Kirari to Hollywood with her? Everybody except Kirari is thrilled, and the young idol doesn't know if she's ready to take a step into the serious and more "legit" entertainment world. The plans carry on and a farewell concert is organized, but her heart still isn't in it, even with the praise and excitement of so many. Still, this could be huge for her life and where it's headed.

Luna is one of the most cunning, manipulative, cinical, two-timing bitchmountain motherfigures in animehistory! 10 years zero contact with family. And now that her daughter somehow made it to the starindustry, she's still lying in her face, see's, that Kilari must've figured out she's her mother, and judges her frustrations like an ice-cold witch with zero empathy. Luna would deserve much worse than scandal because of her "dark past". Jesus...!
