Ep. 8: JELEE prepares for a masked live show while Kano’s past as an idol sparks online controversy.
After discovering Kano’s former idol status, JELEE plans a masked live performance to maintain anonymity. The members hold a work-focused sleepover at a love hotel booked by Mei, where they finalize a new song and costumes inspired by Mahiru’s mural. Kano emphasizes a theme of togetherness and requests fans bring blue glowsticks and umbrellas. However, Kano’s identity is exposed online, triggering backlash and threats that nearly cause the venue to cancel the contract. The group pleads for the event to proceed without an audience, a compromise the manager accepts. Two months later, JELEE performs successfully, with Kiui projecting fan art to realize Kano’s vision. The show gains significant popularity, and Kano’s mother commissions Mahiru to create illustrations for the idol group Sunflower Dolls.
