| The stress and hardship of an idol... Well, Rio is just one example but she's made an example this episode of herself in the entertainment industry. I think it's part of her growing up and understanding the stakes of being an idol. |
 |
| This was everything I wanted and more from this episode. A Rio-Sama masterclass. I think her self loathing and insecurities were way harder to watch than O-kyon’s arc a few weeks ago. Very healthy and cathartic cry session with the manager which really helped to turn things around for Rio. The final performance was amazing. I just love how fluid and natural the body movements look during the lives in this series. It’s insane how far that’s come since the idol genre came out. As for the song, i loved the r&b/ early 2000s Utada Hikaru esque song they had for Rio. Really suited her. Sasuga, Rio-sama Lol I need someone to love me as much as that fan loves O-kyon |

| This time, getting Rio to be at the center...she's an even worse cause than both Haru and Kyoka if she is not allowed to be done things her way. It's like getting her to be in the center brought her an existential crisis that she herself can only resolve. For Rio, being like the sunshine Haru has been her motto amidst her scatterbrained-ness, and when she went to the Budokan with her friends to see the solo idol Hotaru, her expression was total amaze-balls. And like Kyoka, admitting into the idol auditions prove to be an even harder task, and her fruition brought her into TiNgS being a bad dancer at their growing stages...except that her façade was hiding her true feelings of pushing motivation to others while neglecting her very ownself for someone that started out of nothing. The arrogance built out of kindness for someone that doesn't want to be depended on and always thinking of her own inferiority complex, that's where Naoki comes in to fill the gap and give Rio a pep talk to convince her to rely on everyone. The audience completely accepts both Haru or Kyoka at this stage, and for the untested Rio with their new song being a simple ballad, the charm to reach the masses with her voice is the swan song that has been laid dormant, now appreciated by their fans old and new. Halfway into the show, and it's definitely more than just your typical idol show. Time to tackle the last 2 remaining girls. |

| We got a small sample of Rio's voice in episode 2's performance, but listening to her perform a full song was really something else. Simply beautiful. |
| I'm in awe, that was a beautiful performance both in animation and voice/song. Rio happiness felt so real afterwards. 10/10 |
| Rio is now my favorite her singing was simply beautiful and her joy and happiness at the end was so heart-warming |
| Rio sacrifices a lot just to not trouble the rest around her, she's very considerate... too considerate Good thing she managed to see what makes her a great idol~☆ Her voice is beautiful, can't wait to add it to my playlists waa Wonder when we'll see the other two join TiNGS, but so far things are looking up for the girls |
| Rio is so lovable, kind and clumsy, always trying her best and working at least twice as hard as the rest, the bit with the audience and specially with the guy lying about looking forward to her performance was savage, I even got super emotional with Rio crying of happiness, the onion ninjas got pretty close but managed to fend them off. |
| Why is this show so good? Maybe I'm just not used to idol shows lol... Very enjoyable and uplifting seeing these girls confront their problems and watching their hard work pay off. |
| Rio was all “Rio-sama” will be the center and Mr. Manager was like “yep” lol. That sure backfired on Rio! I laughed when Rio ran out the studio just because the way she runs is kind of hilarious haha. Momiji is such a great friend though. I mean yeah they’re rival idols in a sense, but she genuinely cares about Rio. She’s always been genuinely cheering for her, it’s heartwarming. I can understand Rio feeling inferior compared to Haru and Kyoka, but that’s just because she hasn’t found her “thing” yet. Everyone’s got different strengths and weaknesses, she just needed to find her strengths instead of focusing on all her weaknesses. I guess we know what that is though, her singing was incredible! Like damn, girl’s got a great voice! I guess Mr. Manager really saw right through her this entire time huh? That’s some skill he has. I’m glad he was able to convince her to try to be the center. With her killer voice, Tings is gonna blow up for sure. Also, Kyoka’s super fan is great. Girl died and went to heaven after that wink haha. Looks like the other two girls are gonna be joining Tings next week! Really lookin forward to it! |
| Let's fucking go Rio-samaaa!!!!!!!!!! Got my oshi of the show! At this point M-san is the scripter of the show |

| that's cheating Rio you fooled us all with Yuuko's voice acting the whole time doing a high pitch and goofy noises when she can actually sings some much more deeper , i don't know her very well but seeing who she did in assault lily it makes more sense great episode my favorite song so far |
 |
| To think the episodes are delayed now after they dropped such a banger episode. PAIN. This was such an awesome episode, easily the best till now. Rio very much needed the push to be the centre. It was the right choice, she went through some great character development and I've started to like her loads more than before her arc began. It was heartbreaking to see her breakdown and it was even heartbreaking to see her tell how she's been maintaining this facade of cheerful confident girl. Not gonna lie I shed a few tears while watching this episode. The new song man, it was sooo good. I had tears of joy when everyone really started appreciating how good Rio is, seeing Rio confidently sing so good was just so satisfying, I felt happy for her. Her breaking down after all the applause was totally understandable, she deserved all of their praises. It hurts that we have to wait a few more weeks than normal for next episodes. This episode made me wanna increase my overall rating of this show from 8/10 to 9/10. This show is so underrated it hurts. This has also become one of my favourites of this season. Gonna start watching more idol shows now. 6/5 episode. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Rio shines this ep! and VA Yuuko Natsuyoshi can really sing huh!... 4/5. |
 |
| They got me with this Yellow Rose. Berry Amazing! Not just song itself but all tension before and catharsis after. |
Anyone else noticed this girl in the end credits? She strongly reminds me of idolmaster, in particular Mirai from the Idolmaster Millions Live mobile game and the upcoming Idolmaster anime: They have a very similar hair and hair pin. Could this be a reference to idolmaster? The episode itself was rock-solid. Great character development for Rio. |

| Powerful episode. Rio really gave it her all, nice turnaround. Can't help but feel for her. Momiji best girl btw. |
| RIO-SAMA!!! <3!! I loved the chapter. The girls got a new song and now the one who had to go in the center was Rio, but she didn't want to since she thought she was going to ruin it. They wanted to help her but she left. We see her perspective on how she wanted to be an idol, and she went back to the studio and met the manager. And now she wanted to try, and she also apologized to Momiji. The day came and it was Rio's turn to sing "Yellow Rose". It was really GOOD, Rio sang beautifully!! It surprised everyone, Rio made it. The final scene <3!!! Very good chapter. Now it looks like the manager will try to integrate Yukine and Momiji, let's see how it happens.                          |
| This is just the exact same as Kyouka with more crying uh, but the final performance was worth it, especially for how original is the song |
 |
Ashhk said: This is just the exact same as Kyouka with more crying uh, but the final performance was worth it, especially for how original is the song It's similar, tho Kyoka is based on trauma where she got one stage fright as the center (her true skill was always there), meaning all she needed was the courage to get over stage fright. Rio on the other hand is due to consistent fails at trying her best not to mess up... but messes up anyways... after multiple of these, they start to pile up and it starts to cause her to have insecurities about being able to be an idol. (this is much harder than Kyoka, cause this means while Rio doesn't have issue appearing in front of others, she doesn't have the "skills") And Rio has always been the "side character" since the beginning. This is mostly due to herself making it so. This is why the manager pushes Kyoka and Rio into centers to have them overcome their fears. For Rio, the manager decide to literally remove the "skill issue" and shows people her other perks by having her do a slow song instead of one that requires a lot of movement. ___ ___ ___ BTW... seems like the girls are all "inspired" by Hotaru, LOL |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Damn, I should not have started this show so late. Definitely a really good series in our hands, and one that is easily overlooked. Rio-sama best girl BTW. |
  |
| Yeah, I'm crying on this episode too. OTL I liked that they didn't do something like making her suddenly good at dancing, but instead showing that her strength actually is n something else that actually gives the group strength. |
| Hey, Great episode there. And the song was so beautiful to hear. wait, they've done subs for all the other insert songs, but not Rio's?? rude, lol Ah, the next target is pulling in the undebuted girls into the group, huh? |
 |
| Hot damn, Rio! I never knew you have such a great voice. Got chills down my spine...CHILLS! |
| Wha ? It really surprises me Rio really a great singer marvelous the song and the voice really get me into it riooooo samaaa |
| What the hell is that voice ?! Is it really the same seiyuu ? Awesome singing performance, now let's see the last two members before I make a ranking of them. |
