I'm heading out.
The jazz bar again?
That's right.
How are things at the agency?
Tanaka-san, the president, is one of our regulars.
I'm sure he'll be nice to you.
He used to be the guitarist for a famous band.
Yeah, things are going well.
Okay, I'm off.
Hey, Mom.
Let me hear you sing again.
Let's sing at at the community center like we used to.
Sure, sometime.
Take care.
Yo. Thanks, everyone.
Our forces have won.
Lolibuster
The famous lolicon blog that all idol fans follow.
I believe I did my fair share, as well.
Mousey-shi's "Dry Girl Pop" critique blog.
Their popularity online is growing.

Really?
Yeah. I'm going to be in a fashion show.
What? That's great news!
I know, right?
My manager managed to get me a spot.
I always dreamed of being in a fashion show! I'm so happy!
I see.
I'm glad your dream came true.
Yours will, too.
Yeah. I'm going to make it happen in my own way.
Yeah. I'll be rooting for you.
Thanks.
Someday, I will...
Hey, what do you think?
What do you two want to do?
I think it'd be great if we could be like Hinami.
If that's what you two want to do, I'll tag along.
Really?
Momona, if you want to go major, we'll have to train way harder.
Way, way, way, way harder!
Can you stand that?
And Rina.

Is that what you want?
Then what do you want to do, Yurino?
