Ep. 8: Naru panics during performance after realizing weight gain is muscle and facing past trauma
Aired on August 26, 2014
Naru and Tami exercise to lose weight for an event, only to discover the extra mass comes from stronger muscles. Yaya utilizes her musical expertise to arrange Tami's composition, allowing the group to concentrate on their choreography. On the day of the event, the team realizes Sally accidentally placed the necessary CD in her personal bag. Sally sends her sister, identified as Machi, to deliver the disc in time for the performance. As the girls take the stage with Machi watching, Naru begins to panic when the group falls out of tempo. This stress triggers a traumatic memory from elementary school, causing Naru to mess up the routine.
