Asahi is only 14 but she already has piercings. I really hope it's not a fashion thing, but simply because she wanted to experience what it felt like to have her ears pierced. Makes me wonder how the teachers at school treat her, though...

I guess for Asahi, trying to be an idol and trying out Izumi's games both started the same way: just because it "sounded fun"...

That sounds fun, dood!!

I wanna try being an idol, dood!!

What's even the point of this, dood?

Producer-san, you actually enjoy doing this, dood?

COLD!

But I like that about her too... I wonder if she'll ever soften up to me?

NINJA

Producer-san--

--was that really you, dood!?

The morning commus are pure joy...

Her unit outfit is way too adorable.

AUDITION PASSED

The girl who took first place was incredible. ♪

Oh, so I passed.

At her very first audition, Asahi was terrified. It seems that what matters to her isn't how others judge her, but whether she can feel satisfied with what she's doing. So if a dissatisfied Asahi gets first place and reaches the top, I'm worried she'll just get tired of that same old disconnect with people and start looking for other interesting things outside of being an idol.

This sucks... Yeah, it really sucks, dood.

Right now, for the first time in my life, I actually feel frustrated, dood!!

Next time I'll definitely... definitely, definitely, definitely--!!

I won. I won~!

What a wonderful feeling!!

Win or lose, it's great to see a new side of Asahi. She's not alone anymore. I want to watch over her and see how she moves forward from here.

Great work, Asahi! How was your first TV appea--

There's so much equipment I've never seen before, dood~!!

Can I go check it out again, dood!?

S-Sure...
