Review
If we are short in knowing on what’s gonna happen previously, then this Episode will solve them all!
Keke Tang is basically chasing for her own dreams like any other School Idols. But then, something is really holding her back when she was able to make them come true. And when that time she saw Sunny Passion, this is where her dreams as School Idol has begun. And now, we know the reason why Keke Tang has decided to study in Japan, where it is the only country which is popular when it comes to School Idols.
She is originally a student, where she is always getting higher scores in her academic grades. And when this School Idol thing has gotten in her way, then it has become later one of her interests and hobbies. And so, this has left her undecided if she is going to continue with her studies or not.
Sometimes, either our real-life professions or hobbies can be a border in our lives. It always leaves us undecided, and always thinking on what path we should go. The only reason we study is because that we could able to find a better job opportunity in order to make money. And to make money means that we are able to support our own current hobbies. And those hobbies are the things to make our own dreams come true. So, that’s how.
Some other characters, like Ren and Sumire, are just like acting extras here, though they were all standing together in the end of this Episode.
Quite a surprise in the plot where Kanon, Margarete, and Tomari, are able to join the School Idol Festival event in Shanghai, though that they are supposedly be acting only as audiences, in which later they worn their stage costumes after. Call it a twist… And at the same time, almost ruining the spotlight for Keke!
I bit cried in the part where Kanon is already hugging Keke, making her realize that reaching the end of the road does not mean the end of the dreams. It is a matter or fact that we should keep on our dreams and never give up. Who knows that our older selves are already watching us from the distance? That means, we have made our dreams come true!
I will not make this longer, since this one is the body (The other one is a tail). My thoughts in this Episode is that it’s filled with emotions. With more drama and crying, this has made me feel that this Episode can be inspirational. If you have problems that you want to shout it out, that can always feel your chest uncomfortable, just say it with feelings, and never lie.
Overall, this Episode is finally good. And this has finally addressed Keke Tang’s backstory, in which it was never resolved in the previous two seasons.
My Rating: GOOD (4/5)
