Ep. 4: Hanayo Joins the Idol Club with Support from Maki and Rin
Hanayo considers joining the idol club, which requires five members to become official, and asks Rin Hoshizora to join her. Rin declines due to a lack of confidence in her femininity. Hanayo later visits Maki to return a dropped Student ID, where Maki discusses potentially quitting music to study medicine and inherit the family hospital, but offers support for Hanayo’s idol ambitions. Meanwhile, Hanayo encounters Honoka, Umi, and Kotori at a shop, where they notice their performance recording has gained significant online views. The group formally invites Hanayo to join, acknowledging their own flaws. Observing Hanayo’s shyness in class, Maki decides to help her learn to speak loudly. With encouragement from both Maki and Rin, Hanayo agrees to join the club, and both Maki and Rin also decide to become members.
