=== Pearl Voice! Mermaid Princess ===
Lucia and Holly overhear two girls talking about the Mermaid Princesses after they see a poster. As the girls debate over the smartest, most elegant, strongest, and the leader of the Mermaid Princesses, Lucia grandly claims those titles for herself. Holly nods her head at Lucia’s delusion. Clips appear from the debut of each Mermaid Princess and that girl's image song plays in the background. When even Kaito has been mentioned, and the girls are about to leave, Holly butts in on their conversation and asks them directly about Red Pearl Voice. The girls give a series of glowing compliments about Red Pearl Voice, but unlike their analysis of the other Mermaid Princesses, they also list her faults. After the girls leave, Holly sarcastically apologizes to the viewers for being a clumsy cry-baby and then bursts into exaggerated tears.
