There, she meets her senpai from high school, Yukari Kohinata, who is also scheduled to perform. With Yukari's advice, Nanako successfully completes the show.

arzh_vic★★★★★VerifiedEP 12An absolutely beautiful episode. Lights, music, nerves, emotions, national support as well as from the Nagarekawa locals—it’s a gorgeous chapter from beginning to end. All the characters are incredibly kind, there are no rivalries, and it’s a very lighthearted anime that leaves your heart completely full of positive emotions. Highly recommended if you just want to watch something hopeful with touches of comedy.
arzh_vic★★★★★VerifiedEP 11I love Yukari and Nanako's moments ❤️😭, ahahah the ending is just too beautiful. In this episode, you can really tell how much everyone in Nagarekawa loves their town, and they show it by giving it their absolute all to sell everything at their festival booth. Characters who used to be way too shy aren't as much anymore; there's been so much character development, and I find it really well-balanced. So exciting, the ending is getting so close!
arzh_vic★★★★★VerifiedEP 10Nooooo, I wanted to hear the song in this episode 😭😭 but oh well, they're leaving us on a cliffhanger until the next chapter. I really like Yukari and Nanako's relationship; they love each other so much, and you can tell every single moment they share together. The episode left me with a feeling of human warmth, tenderness, and a craving to hear the Locodols' new hit. Beautiful episode.
arzh_vic★★★★★VerifiedEP 9Each episode is sweeter than the last. The flashback was beautiful and really showed us why Yukari decided to become an idol. The bond she shares with Nana-chan has such a beautiful backstory; seeing how they care for each other makes the whole thing completely worth watching. Yukari-chan shouldn't be so hard on herself. You can tell she hates failing and pushes herself to the absolute limit, which is why Nanako's help really brings a balance to her life.
arzh_vic★★★★★VerifiedEP 8It was a very sweet episode, involving the whole team. To be honest, we haven't seen Nanako's uncle again, which makes me wonder: where could he be? Haha, well, in any case, he wasn't really needed in this episode. I really loved Nazukari's development just in this single episode; going from barely being able to speak to giving it his all on stage. That progression in the script was incredibly well-done.

Sin embargo, la temporada tiene un cierre perfecto lleno de emociones que cautivan al espectador y donde se valora la competencia leal.
carlosestebanlf★★★★★VerifiedEP 11En este episodio se puede ver cómo un gran dilema se les presenta a las chicas Nagarekawa por el choque de dos festivales. Sin embargo, esto no es impedimento para Nanako y compañía asistan a ambos donde se les ve muy participativas en su local como si fuese cualquier trabajo. Este último tramo tiene harta presión pero a la vez mantiene la ternura que caracteriza a las chicas.
