----------------------------------------
Continuing temptations for Sakura, and Key hasn't even been successful yet. It looks like that recording of Key's transmitted song might be the basis for Miho's new single.

The direction is really effective at changing the mood of scenes. When Tataki was telling them to stay clear of Miho's production company, there were rapid transitions to darkly lit, ominous scenes. It almost makes me doubt Tataki's words, like he might be coerced into saying some things or actually in on something. I don't think it'll be true, but there is just that much paranoia in the atmosphere.

Key really has to do something more to get there! Decent episode, let's see what's next!

I was wondering when the idol part was going to take off. Though the only thing that really happened is that they went around town, and we got to see what happens to the people who control the robot finally. I don't get why we need that much build up to the thing though, you had a scene foreshadowing it in almost every episode with pretty much no new information given at those time. I felt a similar way in episode 6 where we had to go through painstaking lengths so every detail would logically follow for that one fight scene and more foreshadowing on Key's powers. My time feels very wasted.

This felt like they could have done better with this episode. It was nice to see what the gel originated from but I didn’t need to know that controlling the robots left the user feeling awful because they alluded to that since the show started.
