Episode Title:
Pressure
Episode Description:
Ruby and MEM-cho decide that Kana would be the best center, but Kana rejects this proposal. However, after hearing the other two sing and practice the routine, she relents. In order to help prepare the girls in the leadup to the JIF, Miyako brings Pieyon back to coach the girls. In reality, it is actually Aqua disguising himself as Pieyon. The night before the concert, Kana hears a bit about Ruby's past and her motivations to become an idol. She decides to wander downstairs, and accidentally finds out Aqua is posing as Pieyon. Come the day of the JIF, B-Komachi are crammed into a crowded room where dozens of other underground or less popular idol groups are fighting for space. Kana spends much of the day brooding over her own failed path to stardom. She even admits to a nervous Ruby that she herself is more nervous going out as a group. However, Ruby reassures her by pointing out that the three of them are all rookie idols, so failure should be expected. No longer afraid, Kana starts taking her position as center more seriously just as B-Komachi's performance is about to begin.
