That last episode was nice. HighXJoker worked well.
BTW, looks like they kept the "idol concept". I mean, that thing that was mentioned in the first anim@s. For Miki, is someone who can shine. For Chihaya, is someone who can bring hope. For Haruka, a dream.
For now, we have:
- a hero of justice;
- someone who wants to be the best (but of course, there's something hidden and we'll know soon);
- a person who wanted to "see another view";
- a teacher wanting to guide his students (which sounds pretty noble actually), and other 2 that decided to go with him;
- a group of students wanting to enjoy their youth;
- former soccer players wanting to entertain the people (like they did while playing soccer).
As for Pierre and others, I still didn't get it.
Beit were former part-time workers who have family problems (Pierre's two older brothers fought constantly over who should inherit the throne after their father became ill, neglecting Pierre as a result and had to move to Japan to avoid the drama. Minori's parents died when he was very young and his uncle, who took care of him in their place, was murdered when he was a teenager. Kyoji's rich family rejected him for failing the entrance exam for college and then ran away, vowing to succeed without relying on his family's name) becoming their own happy family. They became idols as a way to make people
smile (via Minori's suggestion).
And to be honest, that episode didn't do them justice, which is quite sad/amusing considering how fricking popular they are (yes, they're more popular than Jupiter).
And yeah, I'm ready for the popcorns for "Kaoru pls" the episode. *munch munch*
