Ep. 4: Koganei proposes an idol debut for Emi, but a misunderstanding leads to a group conflict.

4

Following Emi's growing popularity, Koganei plans for her to debut as an idol rather than a standard entertainer. A miscommunication causes Grandma Nakamori to believe the entire group will perform. Upon realizing the error, Emi insists on singing only with her fellow Magic Carat members. Koganei pleads with her to debut solo to protect his professional reputation, causing Emi significant distress. The situation is resolved when Mai devises a compromise that keeps Emi as the central focus while allowing all troupe members to participate in the performance.
