Episode 5

Episode 5 of the anime Idolls!

Summary
Ami and Shiori have just finished a meal when Aina walks over to them wearing a work uniform. She's been promoted to the lead part-timer, and the duo take pictures and make some suggestions in order to help her look the part. The statue asks her about this and she explains how she intended on quitting this job once Idolls took off, but given how these past three years went she isn't sure if that day will ever come. She becomes startled when Shiori makes a remark, but they are distracted when Ruka joins them to request non-alcoholic beer.

She is in a down mood, and she explains how her parents want her to take over the business of producing ink pads. It's a huge industry but she isn't sure what she wants to do. Ami reminds her of their dream to play at Budokan together, but Shiori reminds her that this would give her a stable job. The statue asks Aina what she thinks, and she mentions that all of them are dear to her and she doesn't want to part from them- but she'd hate for Ruka to suffer because they can't become really good idols either. She believes she should push Ruka forward by suggesting she quit Idolls. Shiori and Ami agree, but when they try to say goodbye to her, she refuses to let them. She wants to stay with them because she loves them so much- and because of her horoscope warning her to stay away from ink pads. The girls are surprised, and they go on to ask what her lucky item was for today. Ruka tells them its a "pitcher", what she's been trying to get since she came, and Aina eagerly goes to prepare it.

They are down to seventy-nine tickets.
