Episode 6-
This happens just after Raki designs her first PR inspired by Elza.I’m also making this the halloween episode. Now that she’s left Venus Ark Yume asks her to perform a live with her and show off her PR. However when she enters the dressing room they end up in Starlight Academy. Yume is confused as she comes face to face with Akari. The two share a hug as Sumire walks in. She pulls out a tarot card and says she foresaw a fateful reunion in her morning reading. She makes a joke about spirits crossing over into worlds on this night. Raki explains her magical Aikatsu pass and leaves Yume and Akari to catch up. Sumire and Hinaki give her a tour of Starlight and she reveals she’s a designer. Hinaki mentions that Akari often inspires her muse Sena and suggests she should have a muse. Sumire says that there might be even more fateful encounters that day. The rest of the episode is Raki getting to know Luminas and Juri. The day ends with a festival where Akari and Mirai perform Identity. Raki is surprised to see top idol Mirai and mentions she’s a fan of Love Me Tear. She gains some respect for Akari being able to keep up with Mirai who she views as a top idol.
Episode 7-
Since Aiparade is only 25 episodes, it makes a bit more sense to switch up characters A LOT. I’m not a better writer than the people behind an entire show but I can try. Anyway Raki wakes up in the Starlight Dorm and wonders where Akari and the rest went. She wanders out and crashes into Rin who was dancing on her way to class. Madoka apologizes on her behalf and they introduce themselves. Madoka mentions she’s been sleeping late practicing for an event and Rin merely wouldn’t sleep until she came back. They take Raki to Mitsusishi’s office where she tells her that she’ll be allowed to take part in the Starlight classes. Raki nods bluntly and Mitsuishi asks her if she’d rather opt out. Raki brings up that she’s lonely as she’s always being separated from her friends. Mitsuishi remarks that she understands her, as when she was in Masquerade she was lonely often as she practiced a lot and outside Ringo, she didn’t have anyone else. Raki apologizes and says she didn’t mean to be selfish. Mitsuishi tells her it’s okay to vent. She joins the rest in class and we get to see Rin and Madoka perform their solos. Seeing their friendship makes Raki realise the importance of bonds. She ends the episode by befriending to Rin and Madoka.
Episode 8-
It’s Ichigo time. Rin, Madoka and Raki are enjoying the Starlight Cafe sweets and notice Madoka isn’t eating any. Rin asks her whether she’s okay and Madoka mentions that she’s worried about the event. Raki realises she hasn’t asked about it even once and shyly prods Madoka about it. Madoka says that her grandmother, Designer Amahane is visiting Starlight Academy and there will be an event held in her honor. The event will show off Angely Sugar and include performances from both her and Ichigo. Hearing Ichigo brings Akari over who begins to rave about Ichigo surpassing Mizuki and inspiring her. Yume also arrives with a huge strawberry shortcake. She mentions that she wishes Koharu were with them to see all the coords in Starlight. Yume and Akari offer to practice with Madoka and Raki joins them. The four lovely types work out in a montage and decide to warp it up by running laps. Raki isn’t nearly as fast and stops to catch her breath. Once again she feels incapable and squats to catch her breath. She looks up to see a bottle of water thrust in her face. She sits down by her to listen to her problem. Ichigo uses a quote Mizuki told her in episode 28. “It may be unimaginable to compare yourslef to something greater than you. But as long as you hold on to it, maybe then you’ll be 10 times greater than what you wanted to be at first.” As their talk comes to a close, the girls head to the event. Ichigo performs first “Idol Activity” with Akari. Madoka is up next but is still nervous about performing right after Ichigo. Raki comes to comfort her with Rin and offers to perform with her. She tells Madoka what Ichigo told her and the two perform “Hello New World” Raki wears the Sweet Gingham coord(pictured above) and Madoka wears her PR. They perform their individual appeals and Amahane(the designer) says seeing the two of them together gave her a spark of inspiration. Ichigo also offers to buy them all parfaits afterward.
Episode 9-
This episode opens with Reflect Moon arriving at Starlight Academy. Kaguya is hesitant to enter and suggests they do a reading. Kaguya and Sakuya come to the same conclusion. Their fate is to meet another pair with a strong bond between them. You see where I’m going with this. The duo encounter Yurika and Kaede and the four get acquainted. Sakuya mentions that they’re looking for Raki who has been missing school. Yurika is unaware who she is but Kaede insists they have to help them look. Yurika reluctantly agrees and the search begins. When RM mention that they came from the moon Yurika retorts that she is a vampire far older than the moon. Kaede eventually finds Raki and jumps out of a window to catch her. Raki is confused and Yurika warns that she’ll suck her blood. Raki rushes toward Reflect Moon as she knows them from Star Harmony. Yurika and Kaede are surprised to find out that RM are idols and then RM perform Have a Dream with Jeweling Dresses/ Or miracle aura if you prefer that. Raki raves about how amazing they were and Yurika jealously insists that she and Kaede must perform too giving us the first CGI live of “Ragtime of the Moonlit Night” (coords pictured above) The episode ends with Yurika and Kaede befriending Reflect Moon.
Episode 10-
This time were getting a lot closer to canon. Amahane finally reveals her new design and Ichigo insists on bringing Raki along. Soleil comes too and Raki is interviewed by Aoi. Ran mentions that she likes her brand but she personally wouldn’t wear it. Raki appreciates the compliment and they make it Angely Mountain. They gear up to climb and Raki sighs as she notes how hard idols work. They climb to the top and Amhane gives Ichigo the Bless Aurora Coord. Ichigo remarks at how pretty it is as Raki wanders about the room looking at the other coords on display. She notices the Mermaid Pisces Coord and sketches some of it’s elements in her sketchbook and Amahane notices this. Raki says she didn’t mean to steal her design however Amahane tells her not to be sorry. She challenges Raki to come up with a coord inspired by it that meets her standards. The girls go home and Raki stays up all night designing a coord but she can’t. The next morning, Akari and her girls(Sumire,Hinaki,Juri,Rin,Madoka) tell her that its unhealthy to work obsessively at something. Akari takes her aside and talks to her about the importance of being careful while pushing yourself. She talks to Raki about when she could barely do an appeal and pushed herself too far. Raki takes this in and Sena walks up from behind them. He introduces himself and said he overheard their predicament. He says he can help Raki if she promises to get some rest. The next day, Akari and Raki are driven by Johnny Sensei to the Dreamy Crown HQ to meet Sena. The two bond over their love for design. Sena mentions that since he worked under Amahane he knows what inspired her to make the Mermaid Pisces coord. He takes Raki to a nearby lake and mentions that the water was so pretty in the sunlight that she had to make it. The rest of the episode has them spend the day in the water having fun and by the end Raki designs her Pastel Fin Pisces Coord. The next day Amahane approves and insists she unveils her new PR alongside Ichigo’s Bless Aurora Coord. They perform ‘Admired Customisation’ The appeals are Premium Angel arrow and Premium Ribbon Holic.
