Yae's origins of being scouted by Noa herself when she was still performing to be a World Dai Star, that's how she got her start being enamored by her acting.

Shizuka committed to helping Kokona aim for her version of Aladdin, and Yae on the trails of Noa securing interviews and the like, Kokona does something that's not done in the history of Sirius: experimental acting, with changing the roles between the two girls, which rather will displease both the staff and audience being unprofessional, but Yae and the other girls go with it anyways if Noa allows it, and she gives the approval even if it's only once. Noa spots a smile, because this answer is one that she's been hoping to hear from both Shizuka and Kokona, and formerly trains Shizuka in using her Sense right, forgetting about past imitations. At the time, Noa was on her way to become a World Dai Star, but she rather be a support staff to nurture the next potential, which is why she saw Yae that way.

The true ultimatum from Noa's training takes its toll on another day of the performance act, and rather than imitation, it's through perfect immersion of Kokona's onstage acting through Shizuka's Sense, the ideal performance to liven up the act and rally the audience, despite Yae's Sense through song that only makes her noteworthy and casts all other actors out of the spotlight, both as a strength and weakness to destroy the performance. Maybe that was Noa's intent because she realized her mistake too late, and ousted herself before the damage went any further. And it's thanks to this performance that Yae is also saved, and the Arabian Nights chapter comes to a close.

Subtle character development that gives a good rap to the show.

Kokona's sense just pure cheating. She only need to copy Shizuka and she is top performer. No need to think or do research. In the urgent moment, Shizuka also can jump in and help Kokona. Basically Nobita and Doraemon. Useless MC + OP partner.

Yae no need to acting. Send her to American Got Talent. She sing, 4 yes, win the competition, launch album and world tour concert.

That depends on Shizuka being just a part of Kokona or a doppelganger vs. a separate entity, say the ghost of Oxford. In the first case it's not cheating, in the second it would be cheating - but Aladdin was also cheating, having the lamp genie help him out all the time.

Regarding next episode's 
, I wonder if SIRIUS will stage it verbatim or with a "happy end" as some musical theatres do? Seems like a tricky decision for an all-young-female troupe with a 90% female audience, since the Bard was obviously mentally ill: a bloodthirsty monster whose plays feature a murder like every 7 minutes. (Zefirelli' famous 1968 movie adaptation omitted 2-3 murders I think.)

I didn't understand that well Kokona's sense, is it to both create the perfect actress ( Shizuka ) and also having the ability to copy acting performances or is Shizuka actually the real talent Kokona has trapped deep within her?

Recap :
Kokona's left eye sense : perfect copy
Kokona's right eye sense : perfect projection (aka Shizuka)
Shizuka's ability : can play any roles perfectly

Ep 1. Kokona copy Shizuka = pass the audition
Ep 2. Kokona copy Yae = fail the audition
Ep 3. Shizuka help Kokona = show success
Ep 5. Kokona play her own Alladin ver = fail
Ep 7. Kokona copy Shizuka's Alladin = success

All senses are in fact, cheating. It's nothing to write home about.

Interesting, so Yae was randomly recruited when she used to perform in the Choir. Instead of like the other girls that went through auditions themselves.

.

And they trained to use "sense" where both Kokona and Shizuka acts at the same time to create a sort of "synergy" that boosts each other's performance.



Well, the show ended pretty good I guess, at least everyone's fairly happy about the outcome.
