When the episode started it was 9.



But now it's 12.


Clearly this marks the passing of time.

Uzuki has been moping for 2 ~ 3 months since September, and now it's December, as evidenced by the Christmas tree.

THIS WAS CORRECT.

HOLY poo poo.

I'M A GENIUS.

Ah, I enjoy conversations like these.

I'm glad everyone getting along and none of the stupid bullshit jealousy subplots ever occurred, but I do wish there had been more dealing with this rivalry.

Though they already did that with Miki in OG iM@S, plus the dynamics in CG are different cause CG is a lot more group-oriented than OG was. Which is both a blessing and a curse.

Miho-chan is the real victim in all of this I think.

She gets paired up with Uzuki after New Generations goes on break, and then Uzuki immediately leaves.

No, I'm not suspicious, I just produce these girls.

Er, no, not that kind of produce.

Let me try again, these girls under me at my company.

No, not like that! I mean they work for me!

No no no, that's not it at all! They go up on a stage!

What? You've got the wrong idea! It's not that kind of stage! They just sing and dance!

I meant to say snow never holds you up, the joke being that the 2nd years in Love Live almost missed their concert because of the snow.

I can sympathize a lot with Uzuki's position of not really knowing what makes you shine. Like, if I hadn't been pushed to apply for a job in translation I'd probably still be unemployed or working part-time in a convenience store or doing a fuckton of studying in a futile attempt to make myself employable.

If you don't really have a high opinion of yourself and your skills and you downplay what you can do, then it's hard to see what you're actually capable of and you're always second-guessing even when people compliment you, hand-waving it as "they're just being nice."

It's especially so if the answer appears vague or just very general.

"Oh you're good at English." Like gently caress I'm good at English, I'm just average at it from a native English speaker's perspective.

"You were chosen for your smile." But everyone can smile???? And the girl who doesn't smile also got chosen for her smile???? Like wha????

Of course, Producer's view of Uzuki's smile is actually a lot more meaningful, but it's not clear to Uzuki at first.

If he just dyed his hair grey like his mentor or whoever that guy is he'd probably have less trouble. Also, if he wore sweatervests.

I mean, she got kidnapped by a hallucination and dragged halfway across Tokyo by it; the girl still ain't right. Well, for a person. She can stand on a stage and smile, so that's good enough, I guess.


Also for all Mishiro's clownshoes tearing teams apart and shortsighted focus on immediate profits, she isn't Kuroi. I'd rather listen to her and pchan talk in metaphors for an hour than "I shall ruin their reputation by kicking someone out of a car on a mountainside. Also nobody ever taught me the difference between chess and go."
