5Danger Zone2008-11-0225 minThe manager of the singing section comes and tells Sawara and Kyoko that he had heard about the 'Love-Me' section and has her first job.

13Battle Girl2008-12-2825 minUnable to buy her way in, Erika insists Kyoko and Moko not to have any discussions about the audition (being from the same company, they would have better rapport than others who just met).

The first day goes poorly for Kyoko, who can't seem to do anything right, and she feels useless because Ren has been picking up the slack every time she messes up.

22Day That Breaks the World2009-03-0925 minKyoko was given some time to think about her character, Mio, thanks to Ren.
