Kotono Nagase runs into Sakura Kawasaki outside of the Hoshimi Production office on her way to her audition. Kotono tells Makino and Saegusa that she wants to join Hoshimi Production to become a solo idol, like her sister Mana. Makino tells her that this is a group audition, and that she should consider whether or not she wants to join the company as part of an idol group. Before the audition is over, Haruko Saeki lets Sakura into the room, assuming she was another auditionee. While singing, it is revealed that Sakura's singing sounds exactly like Mana's.
