Ep. 86: Aikatsu8 Elections Begin with Starlight Academy Concert and Fan-Driven PR Campaigns
Orihime and Tiara launch the Aikatsu8 Elections, inviting fans to support idols for a new unit. The contest includes participants from Starlight, DreAca, and WM. To celebrate, Starlight Academy hosts a live concert. Ichigo, Aoi, Ran, Seira, and Kii gather at Cafe Vivo to finalize their PR strategies, with fans submitting ideas. While others decide quickly, Aoi struggles to choose. Ichigo visits home and notices Raichi has grown significantly. Just before the deadline, Aoi receives a proposal from Raichi called the "Go Go! Aoi Project." This plan involves broadcasting Aoi running from Starlight Academy to the venue. Ran and Ichigo run alongside her, while Raichi and his soccer team serve as bodyguards. Although Raichi tires near the end, his teammates carry him. Aoi, Ichigo, and Ran arrive at the concert location to perform with Yurika and Otome.
