----------------------------------------
So this was a Minako focused episode. I just love, and is one of the reasons their friendship is one of my favorite, how Usagi and the girls support each other with anything and everything. How they gave Minako the "push" to realize her dream, or at least try to accomplish it.

I think it has been very obvious that Minako's dream is to be an idol one day, and this day was one step closer to it. Only, at such a tough time, Minako found this very difficult, and decided to give it up. Usagi and the girls didn't let her though. And so Minako heads out to this audition, and Yaten gives her crap talk about it. But that didn't stop her, Usagi's couraging words are stronger than that.
In the end, Minako won, but decided that her Friends are more important. At least now she knows, that she has the true potential to become an idol.

Now Yaten has recognized this "Princess" scent/aura too, as Taiki did last episode. But do they know who exactly it is coming from?

Anyways great episode. Loved Minako's and Artemis' face expressions in the beginning. :D

Two Minako-centric episodes in a season? They should've given one to Jupiter or Rei. I'd like to see all of the sailors. I liked how Artemis mimicked Minako's emotions in the beginning. He's so funny, they really should give him more screen time.

Oh Serena, only you could get lost in a building, especially twice ^^ Yaten was a jerk but he warmed up at the end. I'm happy for Mina but I thought she was already an idol with her Sailor V alias.

Artemis is such a good friend for spilling out Minako's secret to the other girls...

So did I. Maybe they meant with a new stage name?

First Ami abandons education abroad to become a doctor, now Minako abandons the idol career... Mamoru was the only one who got the guts to pursuit his dream (and iirc some episodic character who was Ami's acquaintance)...

No, it's fine actually. Screw the equality, after all, no one complains that almost every second episode is Usagi-centric?

But how can Minako become an idol, she wants to have two boyfriends at the same time. Idols can't have boyfriends in Japan!

Also how convenient that Usagi managed to find the bad guy, despite being lost in the building.

First: Fuck of Yaten. You're an idol and highschooler, but Minako can't.

Second: Isn't Minako already an idol already? Or did they just forget that along with Chibi-Usa and Mamoru.

Wait, Minako won and she doesn't want to become an idol at the very end so she stole other girls chance, lmao congrats.

I saw some people saying things like "But wasn't Minako an idol at the time of Sailor V"
I think not?
Because what Minako wants is to be an idol of the type that sings, and is successful on stage. Although she had some success as Sailor V, no one ever knew it was her behind the mask after all...
And I also saw people saying that Minako stole the chance of the other girls because she won the contest and gave up being an Idol... Well, she didn't give up on that dream, she just wanted to prioritize the moments with her friends first.

this. I couldn't agree with this more.

I love Minako and Artemis so much, that dumb blonde and the white kitty are my all time favorite anime characters. I even consider myself as the reincarnation of Minako in real life. So last thing I would complain about this show is a Minako centric episode. This show is all about sailor moon focused episodes so yeah: Screw the equality

Even being a refill episode, it is a nice episode, but the final scene with Minako is a remarkable conclusion for the character that makes this episode one of the best with the "trouble between being hero or chase your deams" tematic.
