Ep. 7: Ichigo and Aoi face audition challenges while relying on online feedback and friends.

7

Ichigo and Aoi register for separate auditions on the same day, drawing support from the KiraKiratter social network. Aoi feels uneasy upon discovering that Ran is also competing in her audition. She begins following bizarre training tips from KiraKiratter, such as beam balancing and aromatherapy, which worries Ichigo. During the Pon-Pon Crepe audition, Aoi receives Futuring Girl cards from a janitor who doubts her ability to use them. Waiting for her turn, Aoi realizes she has ignored her real-life friends in favor of online comments. Doubting her chances against Ran, she is encouraged by Ichigo, who returns from her own audition to offer personal support. Bolstered by Ichigo, Aoi wins her audition, and Ichigo also passes hers.
