Cinderella Girls S1 E10

## Plot

Kirari, Rika and Miria have made their debut as Dekoration. They're working with the fashion brand PikaPika Pop to get some good exposure. (Let's just say that Rika was thinking of a different kind of exposure). They'll be participating in a talk show. In the audience, Rika's big sister Mika is there to watch. She wears strange clothes, but then I realized that she does that in public so she won't get mauled by fans or paparazzi. She even fools the producer! During the event they say that Kirari is the leader of the group. Mika gives the three some advice for next time. The producer adds that he wants them to involve the audience more in some way. On they way to the next event, Kirari suggests that they get some crepes. They stop to get some at Takishita Street. Kirari goes there often. It's all about candy and sweets. The producer buys them things such as crepes and takes pictures of them for the project's website. This attracts attention. While the girls are distracted, the producer is forced to answer some questions with the police. He insists that he wasn't taking peeping photos. He tries to give him a business card, but he ran out that morning. The girls realize that the producer is missing. They try calling him, but the cop won't let him use his phone. They try calling the agency, but the line is busy. The producer is telling them about how he's with the police. Rika calls her sister for help. Miria apologizes to the other two. She and Rika ran away, so she thinks that it's her fault the producer is lost. Kirari is optimistic that they'll find him and gives them a group hug. Chihiro helps the producer out with the police. He sees all the missed calls and tries calling them back, but the call is dropped. Kirari calls the agency and Rika calls Mika again. Mika is at the station. She asks the girls to come there. The producer is determined to find the girls, even if he has to look all over town. Chihiro heads to the next event. She also says that the girls aren't children... except they are. Miria is 11, Rika is 12, and Kirari may be 17, but she acts much younger. Anyways, people get frustrated, lines are busy, and poor Rika's foot is hurting because they've been walking for so long. She's also the only one who wore heels. The producer needs three girls from the agency to come down to the event in case Dekoration is late or can't show. Minami, Rin and Ranko come down. They have to wear really girly, little girl clothes. Ranko seems pleased, but Rin wishes she hadn't answered the phone. Technically, Minami answered the phone. Uzuki stayed behind in the office in case anyone else called. Mika calls Rika and yells at her, even though the girls went where Mika asked them to. Miria thinks she spots the producer (it isn't him) and runs off. Kirari follows her, and Rika bumps into someone, dropping the phone and cracking the screen, which disconnects the call. Now Mika's really worried. The girls decide to head to the next event so they won't be late. They figure that the producer will be there. Meanwhile, Mika runs into the producer. It ain't pretty. She was so mad, I was honestly scared that she might hit and/or slap the guy. Rika is sad because Mika was mad at her. I know her screen is cracked, but that doesn't mean her phone itself is broken. Plus, why can't they use Kirari's phone? What, did it run out of power or something? The other two find out about her hurt foot. Miria hands her a Band-Aid. (Wait, was Miria seriously carrying around a band-aid all day?) Kirari finally breaks down after trying to assure the other two that everything will be fine all day. She apologizes and thinks it's her fault because if she hadn't suggested getting crepes, the producer wouldn't have been arrested. Instead of staying in one place, she led them around to look for the producer. The others assure her that it's not her fault. Miria suddenly has a great idea. She explains it to Rika. Rika asks Kirari to carry her. They've found a way to involve the audience. They sing to get people's attention so everyone can head to the event. This is how the producer and Mika find them. They arrive in time for the event. (Rin is relieved). The event is a success. During the credits, the girls and the producer apologize to each other officially.

## Review

This was a good episode. Mika really looks up to her big sister. She even wears a similar *disguise* as hers, even though she's not famous yet. Dekoration's song is LET'S GO HAPPY!! The producer really cares about all the girls in the project. Consider: He didn't give up getting Mio back, he stayed with Chieri when she passed out, and now he went looking for Dekoration *all day in the hot sun*, despite not knowing where they were. He could've waited at the venue for them with Chihiro, but he went looking for them instead. Then when he tells Mika to head to the venue, he says that he's going to check one more time just in case. He really does love all of them! Aw!
