Episode 9

Episode 9 of the anime Idolls!

Summary
The girls stand on stage to practice for their original concert plans tomorrow. They take a momentary break when Ami comes up with a plan to do a stage dive for the performance, but they quickly reason that it would be careless since they don't have nearly enough of a crowd. Aina points out they only have nineteen people coming, but the statue reasons this is still impressive in itself. Before they only had three people coming to see them, so they shouldn't feel bad about their efforts getting them to this point. Aina assures him they don't, they have been trying to think up of something special they can do for the concert. He happily notes how much they've grown.

Just then Ruka suggests they have the audience each snip a portion of hair off of their favorite member, but they reason this isn't something idols would do. Aina rationalizes that regardless of how many people come, they will put on the best performance for them. She then comes up with an idea- she wants to try "call and response". The girls love this idea and they try to practice, sitting down as the fans to let Aina try it out first. Initially it works, until she calls out Gifu, and the girls go silent because they don't think anyone from there would show up. She apologizes for this and Gifu -as Ruka insists- and Ami swaps places with her. She starts out pretty good until she calls out "executive producers", which the girls think may be too long. Plus they probably won't show up anyway.

Shiori gets up to take her turn when Aina notices the statue flash. Nobody responds to Shiori's "bears" and she sits down to let Ruka take her turn. Aina seems distracted until they notice, and they take notice of Ruka saying "yeh" not "yeah" like them.

The girls have sold 81 tickets.
