This episode was so amazing. The gang is back together again!

I wonder if Tristar will gain another member. It would be awkward to be "tri"star with only two.

Maybe they'll change the name to Du(o)star???
I really liked this episode everything was perfect in my opinion :D
Also I think it is interesting how they called the new unit Soleil since it means "Sun" and since we hardly see stars during the day because the sun shines so bright I guess something like that may be true down the road for Tristar and Soleil?

As Johnny sensei said, things are really heating up!

I'm happy that they're together as a trio again. It's hard not to separate those three.

They finally performed the second op as their debut song. Maybe the ending song will performed by all the girls.

It was pretty obvious the whole time that "Ran, you're in the wrong unit," but wow, I didn't expect her to up and switch in the same episode.

Enjoying this show a lot lately.

Now that Ran left, I think Tristar will have another audition to fill in vacant seat.

and looking at the next episode preview, Otome might join Soleil.

Man, what a great way to end off the "season" for this show. I wonder if there will be a new opening in the next episode. Only time will tell.

I doubt it. The first OP/ED was the first 25 episodes.

Ace! It was a nice surprise for them to sing the OP theme. It sounds great with the performance.

Didn't expect Ran to quit Tristar so quickly even though her feelings were clear from her audition win. I think it was quite a blunder for the group, and Mizuki's sense of judgement, to suffer.

Then again, the same thing will happen regardless of who gets chosen as the third member. On the plus side, it shows how inseparable the trio are while showing character development for everyone.

Previous episode felt quite weird for separating Ran from her friends - so no matter how unrealistic (if there is some realism here... not that I mind) things are as they should be :)
good that it happened that quickly also - seeing her struggling wouldn't be fun to watch, in place of this there will be goofy trio in action.

Seriously this and Space Brothers are two shows I enjoy most now :D

When they said: Choose a name. I was creating one: Blue Strawberry, combining the english name of Aoi and Ichigo. Yes, I dont have any creativity...

Wow. I'm happy for Ran :))
I didn't expected that she would quit in Tristar.
Now I'm so happy that they're back -- Ichigo, Aoi and Ran ^^

So far, this is the best performance I've like. I didn't skip it.

Ran gets removed from Tristar due to Mizuki seeing that Ran was depressed and not being able to reach her true potential. She then goes back to her friends joins Soleil and the trio deliver a stellar performance.

Ran just couldn't live with being away from Aoi//Ichigo. The bond they have is so beautiful and amazing.

Wow, what a wonderful development! The original trio is back together!

This episode has also given me more respect for Mizuki. She did Ran a huge favour and realized her mistake, how admirable. Amazing episode.

YEEESSS! This episode was the best, so heartwarming. Soleil is a such a lovely name for their unit and perfectly reflects the radiance of this new found (or rather reunited) trio. I love how this series manages to stay drama free and how there were no hard feelings about Ran's falling out from Tristar. It just goes to further show how fantastic Mizuki is to think of others like that and wish for their happiness over her own agenda. Truly why she's the #1 idol.

They were reunited I bit sooner than I expected. I thought that it might happen closer to episode 50 since that's the end of the first season apparently, but that's great nonetheless. I wonder what Tristar is going to do now that they're down a member.

"Those two won't follow the rails laid out for them"

"By choosing their own name and goals, they will forge their own path to their dreams"

Ah yes, this is what I meant before. Nice one, 学園長.

Didn't expect that Ran would really quit Tristar that fast tho lmao.

I expected her to switch units but didn't thought it would be that fast lol. I prefer it like this though, seeing Ran suffer like that was really painful. I'm glad that we recovered the main trio!!! Though I wonder how did she know the song they were going to perform lol

One of the best episode so far. Somebody is definitely chopping onion here. Watching Ran finally decided to quit Tristar and carving her own path by join back the trio as Soleil is just amazing. I'm really happy for Ran finally back with the gang, really not expected that at all. But hey forging a strong bond of friendship and make your own unit is far important than fame. I could watch these three just do anything as long as they are together.
