Meanwhile at the old school idol club, Liella is in crisis as Margarete's new school idol club is making waves throughout Yuigaoka Girls' Academy even though they did not qualify for the tournament. the main stage of the Yoyogi School Idol Festival.
Of course, Keke Tang is afraid that Margarete's school idol group will surpass Liella because she, along with Kanon and Tomari, will call themselves Newella. Why Newella?
Well, Keke explains the name Newella is a portmanteau of New and Liella, although I would have preferred the name Tomakanote instead. Regardless of the name, Liella will need to push the envelope to avoid being tossed aside.
That's when Chisato Arashi decided to compose a new song with Shiki Wakana as the center. I have to say that Liella's focus on a 2nd year student is quite bold.
But speaking of Shiki Wakana, it seemed like she fainted when hit by the blinding light. Thinking back, I think Shiki is not used to being the center of attention.
Meanwhile, it seems Liella was blinded by something at the window? Did someone throw a flashbang on campus?
Actually, someone gave Yuigaoka's mascot named Yuigao Ren Hazuki so it was quite exciting to see it. But seriously, who in their right mind decided-
Oh wait a minute, Mei Yoneme noticed that her friend Shiki has turned into a Yuigao doll, or should I say she's gone missing.
But you know something, I have a feeling that Wakana used Yuigao as a distraction to keep her clubmates away because she couldn't handle the pressure of being the main center of attraction.
Now, it seems Chisato Arashi decided to ask Kanon Shibuya for help, but Chii-chan couldn't interfere because Margarete Wien was complaining about Tomari Onitsuka's absence.
It's unfortunate that Chii-chan can't talk to Kanon right now, I wonder why Tomari is missing when Margarete and Kanon need her the most? Is Natsuki's younger sister still skeptical about school idols?
But let's go back to Shiki Wakana where she's locked in the science lab. I guess Shiki being the center is too much.
However, Mei Yoneme has other plans when she goes to the science lab to have a heart-to-heart talk with Shiki Wakana, although I think Mei should have turned on the lights instead of drawing the curtains.
Saying that, Mei tells Shiki that she will be the shadow that supports her friend. And by the way, Yoneme wrote a song for Wakana and even though it's not finished yet, Mei wants Shiki to finish the ending.
Now, it looks like Tomari Onitsuka is finally back as she joins Kanon Shibuya and Margarete Wien to watch Liella's performance as School Idol Festival Yoyogi.
Although it remains unclear why Tomari disappeared when Margarete needed her the most, at least she returned to watch her older sister Natsuki perform as a school idol.
Of course, OniNatsu will not be the center as Shiki Wakana and Mei Yoneme take the spotlight in “Special Color”. I have to say that the yuri scene between these two is stronger in this performance.
Anyhow, it looks like Liella upped the ante with this impressive performance at the Yoyogi School Idol Festival as the crowd went wild. Even if Kanon is in another group, it must be said that Liella is still as strong as ever!
As for Margarete Wien, she strongly believes that she and the rest of her teammates need to practice more if they want to challenge them.
Of course, Kanon Shibuya is aiming to bring Margarete and Tomari to Liella as she wants to perform as an 11-girl school idol group.
But anyway, I'm glad that Mei Yoneme supported Shiki Wakana in this episode. Oh, and it's nice to see a female underclassman leading the stage when Liella needs to change herself so she doesn't get left behind.
One last thing, it seems like the NHK station that aired this episode decided not to air the regular “Liella no Uta” segment instead as they switched to dubbing the manga. Then again, that segment won't air in the foreign version like it did last time. Well then, see you next time!
