Compared to some of the other guys, Itsuki doesn't feel like himself this episode.

Still, it looks like he makes a comeback. Pretty predictable storytelling tbh especially the part about what they want to be.

I like that Itsuki tried to balanced school and idol work plus seeing his family, it's good when people try to balance everything in their life but I felt that they did a good job making him faint because even though people can do it you still need to rest so it was something realistic and something that I've seen happen to some other idols.

I'm excited to see Dear Dream performing now

Pretty good episode.

Itsuki falls ill cause of overwork, It was nice that he wanted to balance his work and school.
He struggles with some issues regarding what he wants to be and makes up his mind at the end.

The last scene with them releasing all those cheer was really well done and I liked the group hurdle.
Dear Dream is a better name than Traffic Signal. xD

Aww, so the feelings Itsuki needed to tell Junya that he had known from when they met weren't feelings of love? Lame. xD

Nah, but when Itsuki was crying I felt an overwhelming need to hug him T_T

Itsukiiiiiiiii~~~~!!! Oh my god when he was crying I thought my heart was going to break without a chance to be repaired T_T
Junya was kind of cold! When Itsuki shouted after him but he just left, oh my god, I was devastated.
I'm so glad that things worked out in the end!

Is the reason why Junya didn't pat Itsuki's head, but instead fistbumped him in the chest, is that because he was seeing Itsuki as an equal now or something?

Chizuru was so freaking cute this episode ;w; "I thought you were dead!" lmaoooooooo xD

Also I couldn't help rolling my eyes when Itsuki kept saying all those things that could be misinterpreted...
"Junya! I've always wanted to DO IT! WITH YOU!"
and
"I need to tell Junya-kun my feelings! I wasn't able to tell him but now I feel like I can!"
haha i don't know if the staff is that innocent or if they were playing on this :D

As a big Itsuki fan I really liked this episode haha
Maybe it was predictable (lol) and a bit cliché but it's still a good story (wanting to balance everything, he seems to know what he wants, compared to the other members only focusing on idol stuff)

And, well, his friendship with Junya was kinda weirdly explained xD
But it's great to know they're friends since a long time! (I didn't expect it to be like this tbh, it's almost like he had a deeper connection than wit Chizu, his childhood friend xD So I was surprised)
Also Itsuki crying at the end made me uguu plz don't cry fluff bby QAQ
lol idk why the signature is stuck since May 15th of 2018...
So much for a dynamic signature haha

3Life Lesson, know your limits of your body and don't push yourself even if you know you can't. Even idols have a tough time balancing work and school. It really is nice that these type of shows add that element. We see idols work daily and I often ask myself if they ever get sick for working so much.

Itsuki and Chizu sure have a lovely friendship. They spend more time together and probably have quite good chemistry.

Lol, I was thinking the same thing, and I was like "Yeah, do it with him! DO IT!!!!

Anyway, it looks like Traffic Signal is dead, and "Dear Dream" is born. Now, with all their 5 powers combined, they can summon Captain Pla.....

Oh wait, wrong show. :P

After losing at Battle Live, Kanade had a great idea of forming a new unit. Itsuki and Chizuru would join Traffic Signal.

However, Itsuki collapsed during the dance training. He's clearly overworking himself with idol work and school.

That deep conversation between him and Junya was very touching.

DearDream sounds a nice unit name.

"The feelings our fans have sent us, our feelings towards our friends, and each of our dreams... I wanna grant them all. It means we'll always treasure our fans, our friends, and our dreams."

Well said, Kanade.
