Overview (Story)
They went to Miyazaki for a vacation. But then, Aqua is reminiscing of the past.

Aqua, Kana, Ruby, and others are travelling to Miyazaki for a vacation, and for an MV shoot. Aqua is then reminiscing of the past, and he ended up visiting a hospital where he was born together with Ruby, and knowing and searching for the truths about his past — a past from being himself formerly as Goro the surgeon.

Review
Review time! So then, what’s the connection of the hospital to Aqua and Ruby’s past?

So then, this Episode could be good to watch here, if you are paying attention properly. That MV shoot by Ruby, Kana, and MEM-cho is basically just a “distraction” from the main plot, but relevant because of their new song as new B-Komachi. While their MV shoot is basically their new song, the main plot here is basically about Aqua and Ruby, being reminisced about their own past times as Goro and Sarina, respectively.

So then, while Aqua is being reminded by the past by just going to the hospital, Ruby is simply being reminded about her past — Yep, and that black crow is a clue! Also, new characters are foreshadowed here, once again, especially with that girl with an unknown voice in the credits.

Kana being problematic, and was crying again.

I am gonna make it only short, since the Episode is quite simple, as usual. The story is just really progressing, but not until it has finally reached its end. And who knows that the next one might be the last one before the Season Finale? And then, it is really Ruby’s turn to get her spotlight, soon (Actually, yes).

Nothing too much to highlight here (Only except with the likes of Akane who is discussing some idol-related topics and issues).

For the insights, it is really important to remember our own past, whether it’s good or bad. So that, in order for us to really know what are our life’s purposes. There are some pasts that can be revisited, and yet, there are some that can’t be really visited at all, and can’t be counted as memories anymore.

Overall, this Episode is good to boot up before a new conflict enters. And Ruby finally realized the truth why Goro the surgeon is not coming back.

“No way… That corpse was…”

TO BE CONTINUED.

My Rating: GOOD (4/5)
