So more practice and building up for performances this episode..
In terms of voices, I think they're actually on the right track.

Tension is evident between certain teammates. I guess the competition is really getting to some of their heads. Liked the usage of the instrumental performance this episode especially with the amount of body language used.

Part-timer slowly quits his part-time job. More practice. The two got recommended to get their roles switched, thinking that guy does from his brother's pressure.

Kabuki guy got angry at that guy who often get opinionated, with "Yuuzai" "Muzai". But it seems like part-timer guy got angry the most. He tries to surpass his brother by doing his brother's role's shadow even if he knows it's not for him. The unexpected pair + that "#2 prince" ancient got inserted song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I30njbqhfus

It's nice that the main guy gets something from his teammate (showing in ED).

Mountain climbing next?! And that guy's eyes there...

Kuga made Kitahara drop to his knees with a single finger-touch. Kitahara is an uke I ship this.

Basically everyone has niichan issues but Kaito handles it 10x better than Ageha who is annoying as hell.

These guys resolved an issue and started dancing the next moment. As always. Lmao I am laughing, Uozomi just casually decided to join them as if it was the most obvious thing ever to do. Tbh I find the dance transition direction very awkward since S1, but I guess it has a certain charm. I liked Hoshitani whispering into Kaito's ears for some reason lol. That was a nice song.

Uozomi got to pat the lil bro of the guy he loves.

I like how casually homo everyone in this show is. Normally I dislike that as it's just for the sake of pleasing fans, but here it's different. It feels a bit more genuine. I kinda like Starmyu for that.

There it is. The signature abrupt song scene xD That was the most jarring one so far this season and I broke into laughter. And Uozumi just appearing wtf lol

There was some speculation last week about them swapping roles so not too shocked but I like that the vine symbolism made so much sense. At first I thought it was simply showing captivation by Haruto's performance, but with Kaito added into the mix and him being released from the vines thereafter, we can see it also represents them being held back by it.

I'm actually screaming they updated the ED cuts for the groupings by role accordingly. They even changed Tatsumi and Eigo's expressions. Aaaaahhhhhhh Starmyu <3

This episode was just perfect. It's really serious and everyone in Team Ootori finally had a role to play, really their Dynamics are the best in a group I've seen so far in idol animes. Getting angry for each other, at each other like how boys fight and recovering with each other. And it seems like Hoshitani will receive at least one treasure from Kuga and Nayuki next. That will fit the title of the ending song, "Gift" and then we'll finally have the ending picture complete. I can't wait for their group songs again.

Regarding the characters, Kaito and Kuga stood out the most. I just love Kaito's anxiety which was introduced in S1 with Limited Sky. Now it feels really heavy and we never really look at it like that. As my favorite character, I had a lot of moments this ep. Poor boy, I wanted to hug him. Then there's Kuga.he totally showed Ren why he's the father of the group. Silently caring and looking at the others, he gets angry for them. He was really really cool. Tengenji was really adorable too hahaha I hope Nayuki gets his shine next too.

S2 is really looking good so far with the tone of the series and developing the characters. It's just sad though that they don't have solo songs much anymore, though I wouldn't be surprised if they are saving it for the roles with the play. I love Team Ootori.

The insert this week. Finally a duet between Hoshitani and Tsukigami, and the meaning of the lyrics so beautiful and Arthur's voice was love. Uozumi was an added feature I like too. This insert, "Straightforward" is now my favorite in S2!~

On a side note, I wish Haruto would finally join the teaching lol I need the boys to interact with him and trigger Ageha lol
