Its day 2 of Aikatsu on Parade, and unfortunately for Raki Hime can't be found anywhere!
As it turns out she was busy trying to convince a certain someone to perform with her- that being Mizuki!

Hime Shiratori and Mizuki Kanzaki had an outstanding performance. But it makes me wonder if they replaced the voice actresses for those 2 characters. Their voices sound different than before in the previous Aikatsu! and Aikatsu Stars! series.

Both Ruka (for Hime) and Risuko (for Mizuki) returned as the singing voices (Risuko also returned for Mizuki earlier with the New World version of Take Me Higher, and Ruka returned as Akari for Future Jewel), but I'm assuming they wanted them both to sound older and more experienced. I'd really like to hear what they both thought about recording a song together. Especially Risuko!

It was so cool when the moon grew full in the middle of the performance. We haven't had a progress bar in the anime since the original series, so it was a cool little nod. STARTLINE! always gets to me when the music swells up at the beginning, and it seems the CG team always have fun with it.

I always thought the Star Premium dresses were meant to be more special than anything else, but I guess nothing can match an a Legend Premium Rare. I wonder who would have won if it were a real competition~

On the program at the start it was nice to see that they remembered Yuri's song from way back in Stars! 1st Season.

Heads up; next week may actually be the final TV episode since Dream Story starts on YouTube the week after on the same day as the TV broadcast would have been.

Well, with the duo of Hime and Mizuki, I don't miss they do not make a special appeal. Both don't need it. Basically.

While I like some of these new arrangements, I am really disappointed in the lack of new music in On Parade. 3 insert songs (not counting the OP) across 25 episodes isn't very much...

Just curious, did Ruka "come back" for Start line, or did they just edit Risuko into the song? Ruka was in the original recording already.

Ruka certainly re-recorded since she sounds very different from the original. Both her and Risuko's intonation matches in the new version.

I know that Digz Motion Sounds were commissioned to work on Friends! rather than On Parade!, so I'm assuming there was a lot of reshuffling in order to even make the four new songs happen since they have very different staff from the usual.

Akogare Customize was composed by a guy from MONACA and Codama Saori came back to write the lyrics, representing the original continuity. Future jewel had the Stars! staff, and Seigi no Kimochi was more typical. The first two were the only songs in the last two years not to have lyrics written by Matsubara-san.

Plus, we had all the new covers! I wonder why they decided to include Akari on Identity with Mirai rather than having a new version of START DASH SENSATION but I have a feeling that'll come up in Dream Story.

I'm guessing we won't have much new music till Aikatsu! Fall 2020.

Hime + Mizuki collab was cool until their song was Start Line lol. Is that really the best they could do?

I paused at a random time to go to the bathroom and got this great smug Aine image. Or is it sleepy Aine?

I like this episode. I just can't believe they only 2 more episode left before aikatsu on parade ending and the new dream academy start with Noel and Raki as main characters.

That's a great meme worthy picture.

Also, Hime + Mizuki, interesting, 2 of the best idols. Tho I too think they could use a newer/ better song.

But it's still beautiful and awesome cause it was sang by Hime and Mizuki. Anything they sing would be good. lol.

Great collab between two moon queens. Mizuki always walk in like a final boss lol. I'm surprised The Feeling of Justice comeback, that was my fav performance so far in Parade. I certainly expect there will be a reuse of the collab between Hibiki, Elza and Mizuki again next episode.
