Heh, the English this episode..

The song was pretty simple with the Twinkle Twinkle Star tune. I guess it's more or less building up the idols in particular Rumi for bigger performances. I think her confidence has grown too.

Atleast Rimi-rin got a little over her stage fright and boosted her confidence enough to join the band.

English in anime is always a treat to hear too xD

Best episode yet, I loved it. XD This is turning out to be one my favorite shows of this season.

I don't know why I found Rimi-rin hiding behind the curtain so funny. xD
Them Engrish people in this episode though. :3

I really like how Kasumi's actions inspired Rimi-rin to overcome her stage fright all by herself.
Never before in my life have I been so moved by Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, watching the three of them perform this simple rhyme made me so happy, I was grinning throughout the entire performance. I don't know man, I just felt the entire thing was an incredible show of passion.
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star FTW. XD

Can't wait for the next episode, I so want Saya to join already.

The cringe is strong with this one...

Oh man.. srsly.. I liked the series.. until the Twinkle cringefest started... Why does anime have to use this song all the time? It never is cute or emotional - it always makes you shudder, but in the bad way...

Well, Ill give it a second chance, because I liked it so far, but dont do it again pls...

This is the single most awesome Twinkle Twinkle Little Star I've ever heard. I found myself clapping for them without knowing.

Man Kasumi might be up beat to the point of being annoyance (mostly to Arisa though) but she know how to pull back or when to take step forward when she need to.

Also Tae is now having interest in them. Hope she join really soon.



Unrelated but I want to see them in anime as well not just in game.



Hope to see them as rival band.

Edit: After watching next episode preview it look like Tae is the one who will teach Kasumi playing guitar. My guess is spot on then having Saya as the last member to join.

Star have been the theme for Kasumi though as she always want to find one. She want to find a thrill again like when she look at the twinkling star. For her to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is a given. The band also have a star themed song too.

I see a lot of people complaining about the performance. I actually found it quite adorable to see the girls be brave enough to put themselves in an embarrassing situation like that to not only try and entertain the audience but also help Rimi get over her stage fright.

This first "performance" was not the best so they can only go up from here, right? I thought it was really fun, especially when the band arrived and they played the song together. It was a bitter sweet episode.

This episode was amazing. Easily my favorite episode so far haha.

It was nice to see Rimi rin gaining some confidence and getting over her stage freight by the actions of Kasumi and Arisa. Glad she's joined the band now ^^
BEST. TWINKLE. TWINKLE. LITTLE. STAR. PERFORMANCE.
I really loved that performance. It was really adorable. I went on to clap during their performance, realized I was 1 min into it, lel xD
It was amazing. I really hope to see Saya join soon as well.
Super excited for next week's episode :D

Man, I never would have thought this anime would teach me so much about myself, in this case how weak I am against torture

1 minute in what I can only call "The Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Incident" or maybe "TTLS-gate", I was already screaming my social security number and bank credentials at my TV, and by the end, I found myself confessing to the murder of JFK, even though I'm only 21.

Still glad Rimi got over her stage fright and everything, I just hope they don't pull that shit again.

Aww Rimi got over her stage fright and helped save the day. Still how many times can you sing that one song? I get they're on the spot so pull out something easy you probably remember well but man did they not learn any other nursery rhymes? Also really they should have put in the effort to animate the rest of the performance when the band shows up again, even if it is the same song yet again. Cute as hell let's hope they start to bump the animation up at little more.

Kasumi embarrasses Arisa in every way possible.
their unofficial debut went from cringe to somewhat cool when oneesan joined, but most importantly it got Rimirin into the band, and saved oneesan's performance spot.

Perso I look in VOSTENG
I like the atmosphere of the first episode, the framing of certain scenes 。。。
Kasumi has too much energy in it, probably morning cocoa !(╯°Д°)╯︵ #IRL Not possible /!\

It's comical to see her running in order to follow the stars, which confirms her childhood innocence ☆
I like better Arisa, she is more realistic (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

My favorite character is Rimi, because she has a shy look that I like well and I doubt she will make her way on to the next episodes to see 。。。

Kasumi is really courageous there!
even with a lame twinkle little star, she did that so that the audience won't leave because the other band won't make it on time.
4/5.

Sitting through Kira Kira Hikaru several times over was hard, but i knew it'd pay off, and how the actual band brought them into it by playing the same song to make it seem like an event... It's things like that how you handle real stage mishaps and the result is something special.

Getting up on a stage where rockbands play and singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to buy time would be nerve-wracking as hell. Lucky it's japan and cuteness works most places, and that old lady understanding how stages work instead of stopping them.

wow, as expected, rewatching the anime after playing the phone game makes so much difference, just by knowing the girls (Moca, Ran, Hina, Chisato, Kaoru and Misaki)

also damn, Kasumi + Arisa are as fun together as always

And ofc, Rimi always talking about her Choco Coronets, just like the game

Rimi is so over reactive, she really didn't need to cry. The foreigner actually spoke fair English. Also Kasumi's twinkle twinkle little star performance sucked. Honestly, to make it even a little better, the crowd should've booed so that way we could really find out if Kasumi really wants to pursue music. I mean, Kasumi really chose guitar on a whim.
