Ep. 95: Ichigo and Seira swap schools to understand Starlight and Dream Academy differences

95

Prompted by Kii’s computer, Ichigo and Seira exchange schools to compare Starlight Academy and Dream Academy. Ichigo discovers Dream Academy emphasizes freedom of choice, while Seira finds Starlight Academy focuses on rivalry and overcoming limits. At night, Seira meets Naoto, who reveals Tiara founded Dream Academy to help girls pursue idol dreams without the pressure of Starlight’s strict standards. Tiara created multiple courses to allow students to choose their paths. Naoto explains Tiara’s final dream was to debut an idol only Dream Academy could raise, which proved to be Seira. As the exchange concludes, both girls realize their current identities as idols are shaped by the distinct educational environments of the schools they attended.
