Singing with Elephants

If HHW has a chance to perform on a large stage i.e. dome, Kokoro wants to bring elephants (for a totally unknown reason that only herself knows).

Ran comments that it'll turn into a circus instead, but knowing what HHW is capable of she's positive that they'll make it happen.

When the girls are busy imagining their dream concert, I'm sure The Suits is already in negotiation to import some elephants from India 🐘

And speaking of Ran's remark, HHW already use "circus" as the theme of their second stage costume, so....

Proud Big Sisters

Like most eldest child, little Tomoe used to be constantly reminded that she was a big sister who should pamper her younger sibling. For instance, when Ako cried because Tomoe kept winning in playing games, her parents would tell Tomoe to go easy on Ako.

Sayo, in contrast, never get to hear that kind of reminder from her parents. In fact, it was little Sayo herself who thought that as the eldest, she should prioritize Hina and be the one who take care of things.

Tomoe then throw a random question, “If you could be born again, would you want to be the big sister or the little sister?”

And despite the burden of being one, both of them are more than happy to reprise their current role.

Tomoe and Sayo are such doting big sisters.

Saya the Bread Monk

Arisa asks Saya about how she usually practice the drums. Having no drum set at home, Saya uses various stuff as replacements and drum on them (sad).

Due to sympathy, Arisa intends to lend something from her basement. Saya is delighted by her friend's compassion, of course. That is, until Arisa mentions what item she means: a wooden fish gong.

Wooden fish is a percussion instrument used by Buddhist monks when they recite sutras.

Welp, wooden fish is technically better than using books as the drums, but...

Is Arisa trying to pave a path towards monkhood for Saya? 😂

Not sure if you posted about this but there's a chance that MASKING goes to the same school as the morfonica girls, since their school uniforms look almost identical

Hi, anon! Thanks for the ask!

Although their uniforms resemble one another, MASKING and Morfonica go to different school^^ MASKING goes to Shirayuki (Christian) Girls' Academy, while Morfonica members go to Tsukinomori Girls' Academy.

Speaking of schools, might be a good idea to cover 'em one by one, someday... 👀

Palette People.

Just why, Kokoron? 😂

Personalized Diningwares for Everyone

Kaoru tells Marina that she rarely bring friends to her house, which the CiRCLE manager guesses that it might be due the possible trouble if Kaoru’s fans know her house and flock in there. HHW members (and possibly Chisato) are some of the lucky ones to visit and have a sleepover.

Kaoru’s mother is especially pleased with HHW, to the point that she decides to buy new diningwares for their next visit! She even “interrogates” Kaoru about them in order to pick out the best dishes according to each member’s personality.

PoPiPa’s Role in Karaoke Sessions

Kasumi: dancing while playing the tambourine

Tae: cheerleading with maracas

Arisa: none, but Kasumi suggests her to handle the castanets for the next session

Rimi and Saya: none specified (maybe they’re the playlist operators?)

R・I・O・T

Raise A Suilen’s first single “R・I・O・T” stands for Rebellion, Insurrection, Overturn, and Turmoil.

CHU2 had composed the song prior to forming RAS. Could it be that the cat-shaped flash drive she gave to Yukina contained a recording of “R・I・O・T”?

PAREO, being the first one CHU2 recruited, was the first RAS member who listened to the recording of “R・I・O・T”. The next one was LAYER, followed by MASKING. LOCK was the only member who didn’t get to listen the earlier version of the song because Tae had filled the guitar part before her.

Hina Hikawa’s Puzzling Vocabularies

Hina tends to use ideophones when she explains something. This scene below is one of her many usage of ideophones.

Maybe the story goes like this?

A bird flew toward Hina.

Hina was surprised by the bird and did some weird pose out of reflex.

Hina smacked the bird with something (possibly barehanded).

The bird flapped its wings uncontrollably because of Hina’s punch.

Hina laughed because the bird’s reaction seemed funny.

Upperclassman’s Forgotten Stuff

On Ran’s first day at school, she discovers two items that was left inside her desk’s drawers. Most likely forgotten by a mystery upperclassman who is now in her third year.

The culprit is revealed later on, but I’m not going to spoil anything for anyone who haven’t watched this card episode 😗

Yamabuki Bakery Specials: Michelle Bread

Saya’s bakery is known for launching limited line of breads whenever the season changes. For this autumn, one of the new products is a Michelle-shaped bread, like the one that LOCK is holding above.

The rights for Michelle was bought by Tsurumaki company, but if we’re talking about Kokoro... She might just randomly suggest Saya to create some Michelle-shaped breads and didn’t bother to charge any licensing fees because Saya is her friend.

From Shopping Street to the Stage

Michelle originally belonged to the shopping street where Hagumi and the others’ shop is located. She was a mascot specifically created for promoting the shopping street and entertaining kids.

As the pink bear joined HaroHapi, Kokoro’s assistants (The Suits) purchased the rights for Michelle so they could freely use her for HaroHapi-related activities.

How to be a Good Leader

Tsukushi, as the leader of Morfonica, aspires to be a dependable person for her bandmates. She’s especially look up to Chisato, who she mistook as PasuPare’s leader. Chisato soon clarifies the issue, making Tsukushi believes that Aya must be an even charismatic person than Chisato (resulting in Hina bursts out laughing).

Sorry, Aya.

While Tsukushi is lurking around, she finally meets the real leader of PasuPare. When Aya is asked for leadership advice, she answers it with very vague (and to be honest, useless 😂) tips: do your best and never give up!

Tsukushi is confused at first, but soon reassuring herself that Aya is a pro entertainer so her words must have some sort of deep meaning. Tsukushi then begin to connect them to whatever that pops up in her head.

We Love Scary Stuff!

Nanami joins a Horror Research Club in school and she often watch horror movies during the club sessions. It is said that the club owns a large collection of horror movies.

Rimi and Misaki gain a new horror buddy! Rimi already interacts with Nanami, but Misaki is nowhere to be seen when this exchange occurs (probably too busy babysitting the three dummies).
