Episode 1

Nice to meet you.

Syunpei goes to the handshake event to meet Kakeru of Six Gravity on her behalf and buy special merchandise. After getting lost due to his sister's badly written directions, he ends up bumping into Kakeru and two others before the event and they hang out around town. And then after their handshake event, it's a joint concert. That was an alright episode there seeing that this is a going to be an idol of the week format and next time, it's Iku's turn. I guess I'll give it another episode or two seeing that this isn't exactly my kind of show, but at least the idols could prove to be interesting guys.

Re: Episode 1

More cute boy idols with awful production values and a boring story.

Episode 2

His idol career is on track.

The idol of the week is Iku, and his fellow Procella idolmates are concerned about the group's well-being as he wants to do this and be on the track team, a commitment that's going to wear him out. But Rui supports his decision to do both and he found his bunny charm for him when he dropped it back at the dorm. He may not be in the running for any national honors, but Iku certainly loves track and practices hard to do well. Next time, it's back to the Gravity band with Haru the idol of the week.

So with that, this will be the swan song for me as far as watching this show go. I wasn't really invested in it, and as expected it was dull and bland, but at least it wasn't quite a complete mess that other shows are this season.
