looks like i was right about not trusting the guy and about the love trianlge (die! cliche die!)

why hasn't Eddie hired any body guards? how are they going to pay for the trip to america? (i'm assuming that if they're not paying them royalties they're probably not going to foot the bill for the trip either) why didn't Tanaka tell Maho about the girl? didn't he learn anything from the Izumi incident?

Grr, why does Koyuki have to chain along so many girls at once? :P

And how did Beck not get any royalties for sales of their album?
This series is sort of idling around, it needs to go somewhere

A little annoyed at Maho being so jealous all the time but when Koyuki was singing to the girl I think he doesn't realise how smooth he is.

Well, I guess Izumi will show up sometime, and then, they will form a love square XD

Just kidding =P

damn, i hope this isn't another love triangle thing. Koyuki needs to stop unintentionally wooing girls. >.<

And I'm hoping that Beck gets to go to the states!

Wish I was as popular with girls as Koyuki :) . There's IS a lot of jealousy in this series.

FYI: For anyone who cares, Sonny Boy Waters is a play on real American harmonica player names like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Boy_Williamson_II , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Walter , and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Walter_Horton . Also, the guitar, is aptly named after B.B. King's Guitar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucille_%28guitar%29 , which was named after a woman who started a fight & nearly burned down the building B.B. was in.

Jeez Maho... either finally express how you feel about Koyuki and stop giving him mixed signals, or continue to be jealous with every girl that Koyuki starts befriending, your choice. I don't blame Koyuki

Wtf.. Maho is really an ass in this episode.Just look at her during this episode. She knew that the other guy was being an absolute ass to her supposed boyfriend -- there are signals and evidence everywhere, you can't say that she did not notice it seeing as she saw him being ousted from the party -- and she still hangs out with that bully, and are quite friendly with each other.

Sorry, but that pisses me off to no end. There's nothing to forgive. I would feel betrayed as hell if my partner decided to hang around with a guy who she knew made fun of me and gave me a hard time.

What's wrong with Maho, she was really good at the start of the series but now she's just being stupid. I hope she gets back to how she used to be. She hangs out with an asshole guy but gets mad when she sees Koyuki with another girl. She needs to stop giving mixed signals and make it clear that she likes Koyuki.

I think that's the problem - at least, it was in this case... Koyuki didn't seem to realise that singing to a girl (her name, no less?!) can be pretty romantic. But I agree that Maho needs to quit it with the jealousy. And needs to quit hanging with jerks like that little blond pipsqueak that pranked Koyuki before.

Maho needs to make an obvious move on Koyuki or vice versa. The new girl isn't bad either, but it wouldn't work out as well as with Maho.

This, wtf? And not just any guy - that blonde porcupine!!

I don't really sense anything between Koyuki and the new girl. I see Saku interested in her though.

Maho has the 'sizzle' but doesn't bring home the bacon. If I were Koyuki, I would clearly express that it's friends only, nothing more. He's got goals and is going somewhere with his life now, but Maho, well, seems she's just a 'groupie' at this point. Plus, they have a cultural difference. Maho lived in New York for much of her life. Koyuki lived in Japan all his life. He should have focused more on Izumi, as it seemed they're a better match, culturally and motivationally. But hey, we're talking about kids here.. marriage and commitment are still years off in the distance, so why does everyone think that they should be in a relationship at age 14 or 15?

Fits her personality as she's been presented from the beginning though. PLus as her brother told Koyuki, it's a front,s he's really insecure and emotionally fragile. Those type of folks are the most possessive ones.

That guy is very good looking and has a lot of status and a lot of money. He's an ass, but probably projects confident, alpha vibes. I can see how she'd be sexually attracted. I'm surprised by this thread, feelings are complicated for teens/20s. Lots of ambiguity--remember at no point have Maho/Koyuki been OFFICIAL although there is reason for each of them to think they are official.

It's frustrating to watch, but easy to imagine being in that situation.

It's funny because though I haven't finished this, I think the other two music anime I've completed also do love triangles well--Nana and Kids on a Slope.

Among all the girls in the series, I like Maho most. But I don't think Koyuki likes her at all. In their relationship, Maho is the one who always makes a move. Koyuki is much more romantic with Izumi and the new girl.
In any case, both Maho and Koyuki were stupid in this ep. And I hope all love triangles come to an end.

Yup they got burned on their first release. Very common. They got an advance and no royalties. Apparently they released their previously recorded album so at least they didn't take the cost of the recording too.

Some music trivia. Prudence's story is similar to Lucille, BB King's guitar. He named her after "the bloodiest bar room fight" he'd ever seen over a woman with that name.

B.B.King with Lucille

EDIT: Glad I wasn't the only one to catch this. After going through the comments I see you also caught it as well as the Sunny Boy Williams reference. As well as John Lee Hooker.

And there is a lot of jealousy with bands. The longer they last the more likely they are to have it tare at them. The amount of attention one gets from not only girls, but you get producers, managers, engineers, etc all praising one member of the band more than the others. It takes it's toll.

even if the new girl looks more interesting than the first one, i don't want to watch another triangle and Maho was over-reacting

the rest was predictable but realistic details about new bands trying to make it big, taking risks, and facing as a result the possibility of internal turmoil


(enjoyed the talks about Beck not being a available name overseas, for obvious reasons)
