| Idols in a nutshell. I don't think there's such thing as a perfect idol but Mem has some of the standards, or at least she seems very fit for her role. Not going to lie, I found this episode much more cherrier and amusing than some of the others thanks to the personalities. We got to see idols' social lifestyles and a lot of chemistry between the cast. Oh and that little dance segment with the green pepper is gold. |

| Dude is a master of stratagem, just like those agents who sweet talk through underage girls and have them join some backstreet stripping club. I really believe in addition to being an idolfag in his past life, he was practising this thing too back then. Leaving that aside, Memcho wasn’t lying when she said she wanted to be an idol before the circumstances forced her to become the youtube streamer she’s today.. yes, the familial circumstances. Being the eldest sibling she was, she supported her family but by the time things became alright, she was already past that age she could any longer give the auditions for any idol group. That sounds kind of unfortunate, but this really happens. Though glad people here supported her despite that “unusual” age of hers lol. Memcho joined B-Komachi, and the group is officially back. Her age by the way is 25.. TWENTY-FIVE. Leaving aside Memcho’s age and how she doesn’t look a bit as someone who’s in their mid-twenties, now being official, girls have already started working for their first upcoming live concert. But hey they’re still green, and just a group formed recently, so they’re yet to decide a few roles within themselves. Deciding on the centre of the group comes first, the one rest of the group will be centred upon and who gets the most focus and attention in performances. Kana is too hard on herself, she should try to ease a bit and I believe the first step is to continue doing whatever she’s doing with the dude right now. |
| Man!!! Kana-chan's full moon song is fantastic. I feel sad for kana-chan. Mem-Cho She's!!! Aqua-kun really using girls as tool like Ayonokoji. i think we're now close to the truth of Ai-San. Kana-chan's full moon song link https://youtu.be/shEwhe3sDpo  Thanks for watching Ep#9. Mod Edit: Just one image. |

| HOLY SHIT!!! they literally made a music video for Kana So beautiful! Also bell pepper Kana music video is real hahaha Here's the full version choreographed: Here we go! B-Komachi is really starting now. Each character experiences their own personal growth and motivations, shedding light on the challenges and rewards of content creation. MEM-cho's backstory highlights the sacrifices she made for her family, derailing her dream of becoming an idol. As a result, she turned to content creation on YouTube and found success there. Thanks to Aqua for inviting MEM-cho to join B-Komachi, her dream of becoming an idol is rekindled. Ruby is saying fax📠, Age has nothing to do with being an idol! Seeing Ruby transform from a sickly, fearful child who was afraid of falling to a confident dancer, supported by her mother figure and overcoming her fear, is truly a beautiful moment. It's amazing to witness her achieve something she couldn't do in her previous life and now being able to dance with her new Idol group in the current era. Thanks for the meal. @ebiebieshrimp  |

| Memcho lol, her age is out now, she's 25. Gotta love how she was able to pose as a high school girl. The girls are sure motivated and with now Mem cho on the group they are slowly gaining popularity. Kana bell pepper song was cute and her singing mv was neat. Looks like we will have the girls first live soon. Looking forward to it. |

| MEM-cho is brought to Strawberry Productions under Aqua where she faces President Saito, but there is a problem: she deems herself on a young age of 18 as compared to her real age of 25, and although she has the full backing of her mother and worked for her dreams, her mother faced health issues and she has to postpone all that to help her family out, which by then, she would be considered old for young talent, that with the advent of her social media platforms that rose her to prominence, she can't really turn back on her façade. Despite that, Ruby welcomes her while Kana takes care of them both, to the revitalized B Komachi. Glossing over the end of Love Now, Ruby chatting with Minami while Shiranui runs her mouth on the cast being eye candies more than not, and the new group is growing faster thanks to MEM-cho's involvement. The 4th story arc: B Komachi, and the 3 girls get to work practicing on old B Komachi songs, though Kana still resents Aqua on him kissing Akane. The latter's answer pursuing from one of the producers of Love Now, who had worked closely with his mother Ai before in a private omakase dinner, and more than the lies of the entertainment industry, it's the theater group Lala Lai that begins to show the change of love on her. And this exact same producer wants to propel the new group into stardom with the Japan Idol Festival. The question is: whom the center girl of B Komachi will be, not that Kana ever wanted the role to begin with, because of her ruthless history as one who did it all and went nowhere. And indeed, a karaoke contest to determine the center girl, and both MEM-cho and Ruby are bad at it, to the point of searching for Kana's other songs...which contrary to popular belief, she was the REAL star that did not want to reveal her "dark" past. That's it: make Kana Arima the center girl of B Komachi, NO DOUBT! |
 |
| there has to be another season or 2 right? |
| Mem-Cho's age is truly shocking lmao, still she and Ruby needs to work on their singing ability. Can't believe they actually did a MV for Full Moon. Kana singing is so good. |
| Mem-cho's mom ftw. It's so nice to see good parent-child relationships in anime. "Baking Soda" is written on Kana's shirt LMAO She's really stylish though, she's been changing outfits her every appearance (besides at school) I think. And they're really good. DAMN Kana's singing is good! Gotta give credit to her VA too. I reeeally hope they clear up to Kana that Aqua isn't actually dating Akane soon... It's gonna improve B-komachi's situation too I'm really torn between Kana and Akane. Guess there are 2 best girls now. This episode was like 30 seconds wtf |
 |
| the closer we are getting to the end of the season the better it is becoming. i'm sure we will get a sequel but the problem is the wait. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Oshi no Ko Wednesdays 😩 we move Kana carried the ep as usual. We ate so good today. They even made a music video for songs. Doga Kobo really going the extra mile for our queen. Her being mean to Aqua cause of the Akane stuff was great 😂. Especially the scene where she initially takes the water then tells him to go to hell. One of my fave chapters cause girls really do shit like that. Rest of the episode was kinda weak ngl, but a Kana focused episode will always be 10/10 |
 |
| B Komachi is back...!!! also they make Kana Arima become center girl for it, I'm so happy to seeing this. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| Nice to see Doga Kobo go all out with the MV for Kana there. Rest of the episode was overall pretty forgettable and not that interesting to watch, but at least some progress was being made on the B-Komachi front and Aqua got some little bit of info about Ai that he wanted to keep on going forward with his objectives. Kana's also emotionally conflicted with Aqua's presence as a whole due to Aqua and Akane's relationship but hopefully the B-Komachi front can keep her busy for the time being. Overall, nothing was awful in this episode but besides the MV, not much kept me hooked with this episode either. Oshi no Ko's a real rollercoaster since there are segments that truly click and have me into it completely, and segments where I feel like this show is perfect to just have on the background as noise at best, this was that boring. 2 more episodes to go with this one. |

|
| Thought we'd be getting a Pieyon 2.0 as soon as Kana and the bell peppers appeared on a backdrop |
| Aqua's one step closer to finding his answer. |
| About time we saw more of the B Komachi side of things. It was obvious that Kana was going to be the center girl. Again from the OP which spoiled it already. But considering Ruby is Ai's daughter, it's an interesting choice to not have her as the center girl. I wonder how Kana will do. Kana has been way too difficult lately after Aqua kissed Akane. I feel bad for both girls cause Aqua doesn't seem to be interested in anyone except his long-deceased idol who he's hopelessly still a fan of. With only 2 episodes left, I assume the last episode will be the debut of the reborn B Komachi on JIF. Can't wait to see how they'll do. |
| well didnt expect mem to be 25 also didnt know arima to be insecure about herself and she sings very beautifully |
 |
| Wow can't believe MEM is 25 that was a shock and Kana is such an amazing singer |
| Best girl Kana singing was definitely the highlight of this episode!!! So by that logic, I think she may be the center since she has a good voice. Good episode anyways!!! |
| Can't believe that Mem is 25 from her face. Now that she has joined B Komachi it's popularity is rising and I think they are going to be on par with the previous B Komachi that included Ai after the recruitment of some more members. |
| I really wanna see B Komachi performing for the first time. But I wonder who will be the center |
 |
| Welp, Kana being the center is an obvious choice now |
 |
| It makes sense that Kana should be the lead singer in B Komachi since she's the only one with professional experience as an actor and a singer. |

I was going to ask you personally in message but your restrictions rules applies to me so I can't ask you personally |
| now i can confidently say arima kana is best girl also does anyone know the name of the song she sung? |
 |
| kana chan when I sing the song P-man taisou I always repeat it many times. |
| How did you get that from this? Kaburagi wanted to give jobs to the group on his own and even Aqua was surprised by this. Aqua didnt help make B Komachi for his "plans", whatever the fuck they are because other than working for Kaburagi, who he met by chance thanks to Kana, he has no plans. Why is everyone so dead set on making him a master manipulator that gives 0 fucks about others? |

| Really good, as always. This episode did not hit the dramatic heights of the previous episodes, but it was solid, charming, and moved the plot forward in significant ways. Kana single-handedly boosting the popularity green peppers. Powerful stuff. |
| Glad that both Ruby and Kana got screentime in this episode. I guessed Mem-Cho's real age to be 21 before she revealed it, girl can still pass for a teenager but she's 25, wow. Meanwhile Kana can't get Akane out of her mind so hopefully someone tells her that Aqua is not really dating her so she can get out of her funk. Speaking of Kana, she really can sing which surprised me, I thought she just excelled at acting but she's got more talent, awesome. I thought Ruby would be the center of the group but since Kana can really sing it looks like it will be her. Lastly, Aqua got a lead on a potential love interest that Ai may have had, through an agency that Akane was involved with. Definitely curious how that lead turns out. |
| Aqua's gambles really are starting to pay off and come together. He decided to keep it up with Akane due to her impressive deductions of the kind of person Ai was, but after talking with the producer, she is now an extra connection into the theatre group he's been tolld is where Ai likely met his father. While primarily for selfish motivations it is nice that, by impressing the producer, Aqua has managed to give B-Komachi a major stepping stone into propelling themselves in the industry - alongside personally scouting 2/3rds of the group members :P Had a feeling Kana was likely going to be the group centre somehow after her refusal since she's placed centrally at the end of the OP. Girl really is selling herself short due to the industry being as cut throat as it is. With Ruby's enthusiasm and MEM's social media skills, it will be interesting to see how they take their approach to JIL. While there it's highly likely we'll be getting a S2, the wait is going to be rather painful since they won't want to rush it :P |

| I really wanna see more of the whole murder mystery stuff. But I understand that isn’t the whole focus of the show. Mem’s easily my favourite character. |
| Ok episode but man Kana's singing was good. She's probably insecure about herself thats why she didnt wanna be the center |
