| Kongming definitely has the brains for his goals Eiko also faces even more tougher competition. but at the same time, she was also able to connect and make new friends. A decent episode if you consider the development and moving on from the rap story segment. |
 |
| Rapper Kabetaijin's in DA HOUSE, and he's rocking with Eiko more, but Kongming's strategy to tackle the 100k Likes Project next, is to go after the established groups and their publicity stunts. And only 1 group stands in their way: the young fiesta group that is Azalea with their hardcore agency who would do anything to reach goals. Kabe's re-match with Sekitoba Kung Fu, and Eiko's singing of her raw demo, all that in 2 weeks and change for a world peace plan stratagem. And if that's not enough, Kongming's 3 bags to be opened in running order when Eiko gets nervous about her first studio recording with renowned Steave "Kid" Kiddo while Kabe just barely managed to save the claustrophobic kid from bullying. And with agreement comes a fast pace of change to come up with a song, or face losing Kongming other than a 10 million teaching fee. But not to worry, Kongming's No. 1 bag came in handy for a weird bamboo pudding of all things lols. To sing a song inspired by her idol Maria Diesel, Eiko's chance couldn't have come at a perfect time, but what she's missing is her own voice as a limitation of her abilities. And this is where the No. 2 bag comes in for a permit to perform on the streets. But what a coincidence for Eiko to find this girl with her cajon busking on the streets without permission, and what a feat for them to be performing the same song with their respective instruments. The divination fate of sworn friends, Eiko and Nanami together, would become great rivals in the future. |
 |
| Can't believe Koumei planned that chance encounter with Nanami and provided the permit in advance. Truly a great stratagem. Wonder what the last bag is going to do. And excited to see more Nanami x Eiko collab. |
 |
| Great episodes, Kong Ming's silk purses is also another brilliant references of the original Three Kingdoms. |
| Is good to see more Eiko after 2 episodes without much focus on her. That Kido guy puns hurts, even me that like bad jokes. Eiko now will find her real style, not just copy someones style. So......I believe that Nanami is Kuon from Azalea. |
 |
| While he may be the "main character" of the series, Kongming knows that the success of the plan rests entirely on the talents of EIKO and Kabetaijin. It's important to note that, while he might be the one who offers the strategical assistance and also helps them get their metaphorical foot in the door, THEY are the ones who actually put forth and demonstrate the effort to demonstrate their inner resolve. The bamboo shoot pudding exemplifies this, along with Kongming's pep talks to EIKO in episode 4, the club performance in episode 2, and the rap battle in episode 6. You can have the greatest strategy in the world all you want - if the people don't actually have the ability to get it done, you can forget it. This episode more than anything puts EIKO and Kabetaijin in their first true obstacle of overcoming themselves in some way (though both have already done so to a certain degree). Guided by Kongming's bizarre instructions and faith in her abilities, EIKO not only gets Steve to hear her, but so also makes a new friend on the street with Nanami. Gradually, EIKO's world has opened and new possibilities and friends make their presence known. The question still remains of how Kabetaijin's rap battle will go, but this series has shown that when it takes time to stop for music to tell the story, it manages to work very well! For now, we press onward! |
| "You don't need a reason to help people." ~Zidane Tribal |
| "come back when you've found your voice" man with such vague instruction like that I'd be tearing my hair out. But it's okay, because Eiko will get it done somehow. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| ED Change with Nanami Kuon included; is a nice welcome. |
| I loved this episode! Kabetaijin has finally joined the family and I love it, they're not even at thier best yet if Kongming is to be believed so I can't wait to see what they'll end up cooking up once Eiko finds her voice. Is it just me or is the Nanami girl throwing major red flags? Maybe I'm just over thinking it, I hope I am because she seems genuinely kind. Please can it be next week already, I need more Kongming in my life! |
| i like nanami’s singing i hope she becomes a reacquiring character with a bigger screentime |
bam |
| Eiko did impress Steve Kido, but Eiko lacks her own voice. It seems like she'll find her own voice through performing together with Nanami, who is the vocalist of Azalea. Kongming despite not personally being with Eiko, he sure did a stratagem to make sure that Steve starts listening to her right away and later leads Eiko to Nanami. Just according to keikaku again.╰(◡‿◡☆╰) Nanami and Eiko as rivals, Sekitoba and Kabe also as rivals. Looking forward to this rivalry. (•⊙ω⊙•) |
 |
| This is a common pitfal of self thought amateur musicians. A fixation on other people material and lacking of finding that something that sets you appart from all the others. It's something no one else can do for you and if someone tries, it can mentaly destroy artist completely, so Kjongming hands off aproach is sound. I've been mad curious about the trio of girls from the intro, proper villain attire and all, indecent label backing, tricks, backstabery.... i guess we'll see them soon. I wonder if they'll properly arrange this song Eiko wants to push. Like, properly in-universe, like what would the Kid sound if he was real (see below). What kind of fast j-pop EDM thing will they conjure.... very curious. Random musings: Steve Aoki is the real world DJ trowing cakes everywhere he goes(random true info: His contract states that 3 required cakes be vegan). He is in fact japanese, born in USA, living in Miami. And his real studio looks dope. Also, a track ghost produced by Steve Aoki at 75 000€(his real starting booking fee these days btw, very complex subject)... cheap if he signs it but waive rights, VERY expensive if he doesn't. Again, very complex subject. Definitiely deal of a lifetime for Eiko. It's awesome that the closing song now includes harmonies by Nanami. |
| Great episode! Eiko found another street performer, Nanami to play together with but will she end up being her biggest rival? Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Nanami should be exactly what Eiko needs to find her voice. Definitely some vague instructions, but after two weeks with very little Eiko, it’s nice to get an episode focused on her. Crazy how Kongming had the foresight to have the permit ready just for this chance encounter on the street too lol. |
 |
| What can I watch this on? |
 |
| Kabe needs to lay off those energy drinks or else he's gonna get another ulcer. Use the pudding to let Steave Kido hear her sing. Use the permit to help her find her voice. She's still has the 3rd item to use (ticket for observation deck at Shibiya Sky Square). Kongming has done his research on Azalea, so he likely knows where their lead, Nanami Kuon, busks. Eiko's unknowingly befriended her rival. The ED just got updated! More chibis and vocals! |

| Bro, I need a studio version of the "I'm still alive today". That song just went off. Love seeing the ED change every time they add new characters. |

 |
| seems like nanami is the antagonist or better known as azael or something |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Really enjoyed Nanami's voice. I liked Eiko's version but definitely loved Nanami's version of "I'm still alive today" more. She'll definitely be a great rival to Eiko. :) |
| Now that Kabetaijin has joined the team, Ya Boy Kongming comes up with a plan for Eiko to be the first artist to get 100,000 likes first. This will require Eiko to finish the song she was working on earlier and Kabe to battle Sekitoba Kung Fu. However, Eiko failed to impress Steve Kido in the studio despite having excellent range and told her that she needs to find her own voice. This is when she meets Nanami after singing together on the street. Nanami is now featured in the ED along with Eiko and Kabe. |
 |
| Damn the music is so good. I love how Kongming is just in control of everything. The ultimate strategist. |
| Yuritopia FTW!!!!!!!!! BANZAI TO YURI !!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Nanamin's voice is great. Eiko will find her own voice now :) |
 |
| Is the ED complete now? I want to see the other two girls from AZALEA in SD forms. |
| So a new ally but also a rival too just so Eiko aims to new highs growing alongside Nanami, she is also super cute. |
| Nanamin becomes friends with Eiko but could she become her biggest competition??? Seems like Kongming might see it that way. But that 3rd bag has to eventually come into affect as well. Should be interesting to see Eiko get her own voice. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Winter 2525 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Well, what are the odds to find your rival at the streets, she has a nice voice tho. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| So happy we are back with the Eiko-focused episodes. Self-discovery arc let's go! So... based on Kongming's predictions, I'm gonna assume Nanami is part of Azalea. (Edit: Nevermind. The episode already confirmed it lol) Anyways, now I wonder how the last bag will be used. |
| Another build-up episode,Really liked it. |
 |
| Another great episode. Koumei's strategems really amaze me. Ganbare Eiko-chan! Nanamin-chan is an interesting character too. Looking forward next week. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| I love how they keep adding new people in the ED So the new girl is a rival! As some have stated already, she's highly likely one of the masked singers from the OP. The trio have the same goal as Eiko so the drama is unavoidable in this 100k-likes battle! |
| "Plan for peace throughout the world, Volume 1." Kongming told Eiko and Kabetaijin what they have to do. Eiko has to record the song and Kabetaijin has to face Sekitoba. At the moment Kabetaijin is a bit complicated xd. And Eiko in her journey of recording the song, she met Nanami, she sings very well!. And they added her in the ending too, very good. Very good chapter. |
| ooh boy Kongming with the bag strategy coming in clutch... New Girl Nanami has joined the ED song... i think Nanami was the lead singer from Azalea, similar black hair. the plot is getting more spicy... |
 |
| Steavo Kido as in Steve Aoki IRL? hmm maybe we'll get hear his music back again in anime. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Yea its good to have Eiko focused episode again after getting rounded by Kabe rap time xd. Though the way to summer sonia dream even still far from their reach, even after them getting Kabe. The opponent get introduced, but its not koumei without preparing a huge plan against that. There, Koumei now sitting from behind the bar side, not doing all the guerilla move again since its already laid much before, and letting all those young soul polishing their talent into a better one, especially to Eiko. Since she's truly the star of this series with her song. Once again Koumei charm proved worth to be followed. Eiko got Steve attention with pudding, but she need a new approach to satisfied those intriguing dj. Thus where she first met with Nanami and start an inevitable fate between themself. I smell a collaboration or maybe just Nanami quit the group and join Eiko as duo. But also won't denied the possibility that those two can be competing by far with such a burning passion, fair and square, if that's what i hope.... Next! |

| This Anime truly the Dark Horse for this season |
| Really great episode! Ah yes, the classic finding your own voice in music series, while it's cliche, it's a real thing, but does other shows have Steve A̶o̶k̶i Kido though. Really like Eiko and Kabe's road to becoming even better at their crafts. Man, Eiko and Nanami's performance at the end was so good. Really like Nanami a lot too, she's gonna be a rival since she's the singer for Azalea, but I hope Eiko and her become good friends as well. Also saw some comments on this episode, about "I am still alive" being Eiko's favorite song because of you know, her suicide attempt back in episode 1, (which I forgot) and man, the song just hits even harder. Really looking forward to Kabe vs Sekitoba and of course Eiko getting those 100K likes. |
 |
| Two new characters has been introduced, and both of them look interesting as well. Even steave Kido knew about the three kingdom. Azalea is the antagonist of this season? Seems like it by watching the OP scene. Oh man, I'm so late notice about Nanami, but everyone here saying who she is. |
 |
| Those Japanese voice actors can really beautifully sing. |
| Now with Kabe joining the team, the main goal of getting into Summer Sonia can go get underway and the time they have left is a bit of a luxury. The goal of hitting 100k likes from a single post seems to be difficult, but Kongming has a plan for both Eiko and Kabe to do their part in making that goal into reality. For Kabe, it's getting down and focusing on his upcoming rematch and Sekitoba Kung Fu, which will play a big part in Kongming's overall plan. It was nice to see Kabe help out a school student who was in the same predicament that Kabe found himself in during his school days. As for Eiko, Kongming hgave her 3 special pouches that will help her towards her main goal, but for starters, she went to the studio of a professional DJ, Steave Kido, who his obviously based on Steve Aoki IRL. While he praised Eiko's performance at his studio, he did add that he can't imagine her real voice from the song that she performed. It's up to Eiko to find her real voice before Steave can help her again. While she was deep in thought about what to do next while looking for a singing spot in Shibuya, she ending up helping out a busker, Nanami, after hearing how nice her vocals was. Together, they performed the song again and drew in a nice crowd. =) I think it's clear that Nanami is the lead singer of Azalea, who Kongming did point out as the main rivals for the plan of getting into Summer Sonia. I can only hope that this rivalry is a friendly one. Besides, Nanami is now singing the ED song alongside Eiko and Kabe and it sounds even better than before! ^_^ |
| Eiko not having her 'own voice' is a usual problem for newcomers in singing contests. Like they can imitate a singing style perfectly but it's a waste of potential in reality. I see why Steve Kido would pressure her to find her own voice as soon as possible. And Kongming seems to (somehow) have foreseen this lol Eiko unknowingly met the Azalea singer in the way! The strategist's plan is running pretty smoothly :P |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| I suppose lack of originality is a fair problem. I keep learning new things from this anime. Its amazing how Kongming managed to plan the random encounter of Eiko with Nanami. Also, congrats to Kabe for trying to save that other guy despite the fear. |
