Kirarin Revolution, episodes 99 & 100

(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 99:

Kirari will be known around the world, now that she's acting in a Lucusberg film. But that also means she has to do her absolute best, lest herself and her company be laughed at. Luna shows up at the company building, wanting to be around them to learn for her own role, and ends up as Kirari's manager for the day. Kirari is thrilled, of course. Luna proves herself quite competent at her job (though a tad humorous), and has a certain gentle way of interacting with Kirari, stirring curiosity in Kumoi-san.

Episode 100:

Kirari is confused - is Luna her mom? She sure looks like the woman in the hidden photo she found. Her dad denies it, but she's still determined to find out. After attempting to confront her alleged long lost mom, she is instead rebutted by Luna to focus on nothing but movie related subjects (Kirari didn't even get to ask), which she does her best to achieve. However, with her mind on the unsolved mystery she struggles with the very last scene of the movie, and if she doesn't figure out what to do soon, her job is at stake.

Kusumi's voice fits this anime perfectly.
