Rating/s:

Notes/comments (optional):

Shibuki Ran and Oozora Akari supremacy!!!

They have good amazing songs, in my opinion.

The improvement of the CGI was astounding. <3

Still can't forget these moments:

Soleil's performances of Diamond Happy, especially the first one! Their debut had me in tears, the rest gave me chills.

Renewed Tristar with Yurika-sama. IT'S NOT THAT I'M SAYING THAT MY QUEEN RAN IS INFERIOR TO YURIKA. It's just that I think Ran fits in Soleil better because she should be with her besties, and Yurika's aura fits Tristar better.

Sumire's failed Special Appeal in the Starlight Queen Cup. (She's still a queen though. 💅)

Akari's winning performance in the Starlight Queen Cup! The chills I had watching her perform. From the clumsy girl who made mistakes in her audition to this ✨️star✨️... (ToT)

Will I rewatch? Probably not because it's rather long. But I might go back to watch some episodes. But there's no doubt that I would watch the performances every now and then!
