Episode 8

Episode 8 of the anime Idolls!

Summary
Aina is practicing her movements with the eggplant, dressed in idol gear as Shiori reveals their tickets are now being sold for 20,000 yen. They are all very happy by this change but Aina isn't feeling it. The statue suggests she take a break but she refuses, stating she doesn't feel comfortable just yet. Just then Queen Record calls Ami with some news, telling them to watch the press conference that is currently going on. As it turns out their three, veteran fans have gotten together to reveal the girls are just normal idol, not an unorthodox group. They may not be the most successful group but they don't need to use such gimmicks. They don't need eggplants now either, and they wonder why the girls would sell out like this.

This starts making the group feel concerned as Ami reveals that Queen Record contacted them to make them put a stop to their veteran fans press conference. This truth could ruin everything.

Just then, Aina grabs the phone and tells the company that they are the liars, not their fans. They can't agree to their unusual terms, and while they initially did, they refuse to stick with it. Queen Record hangs up on Aina and their debut is canceled. She profusely apologizes to the others for ruining everything and waits for Ruka to strike her with one of the eggplants. But to their surprise she doesn't. She suggests they make mapo eggplant, enough to last nine days. Shiori and Ami agree and they head into the kitchen to prepare it, with Shiori returning to momentarily startle Aina as she picks another one up.

97 Tickets have been canceled.
