Well, it's nice to see everyone get along better since their performances. And oh, a swimsuit episode? Yup, even this anime has one of these.

They deserve to have their fun after all their hard work though imo. Pacing should pick up again as these idols would need to improve themselves even more than what they are now.

Ahh yes, now more Hoshimi Production's members who really know Sakura's heart condition, some of the surgery traces. Not only 1 or 2 persons who have known that in an episode (but I really want to rewatch this episode, I can't get their any conversations about this issue when I watched it in ABEMA due to VPN unstable issue hehe, actually there are many hidden meanings in dialogues and many symbolisms about this issue and much plot-related things).

Finally, we can see that there is a start on the healing of Kotono's life which has happened for 4 years because of the sudden loss of Mana, her onee-chan.
(well, why does this development come just several days later after another MC in another original anime that also comes from Sony and comes also with the same premise, and with MusicRay'n Generation 3 seiyuu on the MC voices? Is that really all Sony's plan? I don't know?)

Actually, overall, the 7th episode is a kindly deep but also fun episode. I don't want to talk much about Hoshimi Production's free days and vacation times, there are many funny things that every audience in Japan really all know the sensation XD (that's what I got when I watched with reading chats in ABEMA XD).

But, as a MusicRay'n fan, I'm really curious about the development of Sunny Peace itself, as a seiyuu idol unit or a seiyuu idol group. Is there any plan from Sony Music Japan or MusicRay'n for building the next ClariS on Idoly Pride project? Seriously, I'm feeling de javu, remembering ClariS especially their style in the first half of the 2010s, when I listened Shining Days. Well, I haven't any problem, I respect that and I also love it too. We haven't any unit with this kind of style in MusicRay'n family before :D

Well, 10/10 again for Idoly Pride! See you at the top, Idoly Pride! It's kindly some fresh air for anyone who loves Japanese idol-themed contents, especially for anyone who really needs some new yet best ideas and styles on this genre.

Gaining popularity at the speed of light for both (Sun)ny Peace and (Moon) Tempest (I'm just tempted to call them as Pokemon groups now).

The Next Venus Grand Prix...the compeititon which will have put Mana into newbie stardom when she was still alive, put into hopes for the split 5-5 group.

But before all that, rest well girls, y'all worked hard leading the way of the newbie idol group transformation. Getting that rest time to change into swimsuits, yea inserting that well-known troupe.

If there's anything to note, it's Sakura with her heart surgery, but really though, there's nothing to worry about (as much as Kotono's worries are warranted). Haruko sure does a Doraemon this episode to provide the girls with whatever they need and want, where she got all that is beyond my comprehension xD

Even as Manager, keeping snippets of your managed idol...is creepy, but normal I guess (at least for Makino).

Let the competition begin! Not without a special ED.

Kid pool, swimsuit, and the party are very nice. Such a good break after hard work for them.
Sakura got her heart surgery 3 years ago. It might be related to the Mana accident. Mana even donates her heart to Sakura.
Good luck Sunny Peace and Moon Tempest. Hope to see both of them in the final round.

The new ED Shining Days.

Such a great episode. Not quite a beach episode, but some fun at the pool and barbecuing. Very slice of life-y and I loved it.

Sakura’s heart condition was front and centre today. My inclination is she got Mana’s heart ala Angel Beats, but we’ll see.

It’s always hard to watch Mana and the manager interact because you just think of what could’ve been with them. That video at the end was really sad 😔. On the bright side, the ED is great. Can’t wait for it to go up on Apple Music.

I hope that Sakura won't die while performing and joining Mana as a ghost too (I wouldn't be surprised considering ep 1 did that xD)

Looks both Sunny Peace and Tsukino Tempest are doing pretty well so far. Next Venus grand prix huh what a blast from the past. Still it will provide an excellent opportunity to test themselves against their rivals. Their day off sure was a lot of fun for them. Its nice seeing Kotono act more like a girl her age though. Having Somen noddle's in summer sure is one of the highlights. Still the revelation of Sakura's heart surgery sure put a gloom on to things. Still the discussion with Makino combined with the BBQ sure did well in dispelling it. The video in the end of Mana sure provided a rare opportunity for the girls to see a person that was dear to them. Overall an excellent ep that while relatively peaceful provided an excellent opportunity to allow the girls to relax and mentally prepare themselves for the grand prix that will surely be a challenge. Nice new ending theme as well.

Considering how this series has involved a death already, wouldn't surprise me that Sakura's heart plays a part in the final two eps I bet. Which will be a rough watch. Besides that, loved the more relaxed episode as a whole.

Nice SOL-like episode. Good to have these types of moments in moderation. Seems like more people know about Sakura's heart surgery.

With that in consideration, I really hope they don't pull that card moments before the finals.

Also very nice ending sequence there. Would love to listen to all their releases once the season is done.

Probably the best episode so far...just enjoying the day off.

I just hope Sakura's heart surgery isn't a fact that will change something really big incoming...worries me quite bit tbh...but there might be the chance Mana was the donator of her heart...same voice because of this? Oh boi Angel Beats feeling incoming.

Great new ED.

As one who has seen Angel Beats! I have the same thoughts as a few people here in that Sakura obtained Mana's heart.

I do hope they don't do it where her surgery becomes some plot point that prevents her preforming.

Well, ofc they immediately did a battle concert to established their existencies in the idol industry, no wasting time girls! That's it. A lot of idol activity they've got in order to let the peoples knew their existencies as a debutal and newcomer idols; defeating many idol groups, facing many challenges, felt the enemies despairs, and the new threat shall they faced not so long after their official debut.

Yep, its the previous top newcomers seeker competition that got paused over three years later due to the previous tragic incident. They must facing them with a good determination. But, shall they ready? 'Idol industry is a harsh world'. Good catch, even if thats alternative world with ai judge as its uniqueness, it still depict a good knowledge of the reality. The girls knew it, ready or not they shall do their best to achieve what they dream...

But, before that, ofc they need to chill down a bit. A one day off was not a big problem, and let the audience (me) felt a little fanservices moments of their moeness. Sakura revelations of her heart surgery surprisingly filled in the middle of their vacation day. Well, sooner or later its shall be revealed. Honestly i don't quite like the timing of those event. But oh well. Its at least was not so glooming, but its growing up Kotono motivation to pulling out her best, i guess. Additionally, the hidden footage by Mana and Mr Makino should made them motivated too. So, yeah, its the beginning of their harshness before reaching the top.

Nah, if you want it can happen, let's popularize the Idoly Pride multimedia idol project together, so that there are new developments, especially in the development of seiyuu idol units (like the development of Love Live).

Narumiya Suzu (Aikawa Kanata) + Hyodo Shizuku (Shuto Yuki) + Shiraishi Chisa (Takao Kanon) = PERFECT!

I can't wait for Nagase Kotono (Tachibana Mirai) + Ichinose Rei (Yuki Moeko) too! It's almost perfect!

Shiraishi Saki (Miyazawa Koharu) + Ibuki Nagisa (Natsume Kokona) + Saeki Haruko (Sasaki Nao) = Also PERFECT!

Because it is an idol multimedia project, every formation of units can be developed, as long as the success and popularity of Idoly Pride, the thing that's can cause a large audience to watch and follow this project, then there were certain requests from fans on a massive scale.

Yoroshiku Onegaiishimasu!

Pretty chill episode, girls having a day off after their hard work since debut. And they will be entering the Venus Project.


I'm guessing Sakaura received mana's heart. It kinda make sense, Tsuki no Tempest have Kotono who is the younger sister of Mana and Sunny Peace have Sakura who received the heart of Mana.

I just loved this episode, showing the fun of the characters and also telling about Sakura’s heart disease, I suppose we have the same theory that Mana is Sakura’s heart donor since the accident and the surgery supposedly occurred in the same day. I just hope this is it and that Sakura doesn't die like Mana, it would be very sad two deaths.

It's a holiday episode! Noice

But well, Suzu is stuck doing homeworks lol xD

But looks like the other girls are enjoying themselves after their victories!

sakura-Chan had a heart surgery? Now that's interesting. She says she can hold on, but for how long?
Can't wait to see the next episode!

A really fun day off episode xD

Ohhhh, Sakura has a heart surgery. This is getting interesting like it has the same vibe as Angel Beats.

Also there's a possibility that Mana Nagase's heart after her death was used for Sakura's heart surgery which might be the reason why her voices sound similar to Mana Nagase in episode 2. Further info required.

And the ED music I heard brings back the memories of Yuru Camp season 1 "Shiny Days" xD

A relaxing episode with the girls doing whatever they want. The pool part was fun and the last footage scene kinda made me tear up. Also about the surgery, is it what I thought it is after all?
