Here it is! Fresh off the Premier Pro press!

This episode got some bittersweet tears out of me. Hearing Mei sing her heart out because she is sad that her former idol, now true friend, didn't want to sing anymore was beautiful. She said she doesn't sing and we saw earlier in the show the reason for it.

She didn't care if she made a fool of herself. This is love for your friend. This is love for the art they created together.

This is a good one, y'all.

If I remember, the "pi" used by Mero at the end of Yuki-pi stand for producer, it's just the sound of the letter P in the end, I think i saw it used several times in show like Idolmaster. But yeah, we were in the eye of the storm and if Kano finally decide to go out of it and Mei is Mei so she is happy now that Kano is back, it will be Kiui to have trouble and if I remember what happen in the next episode, it might be a hard one again... You also saw what Mahiru state of mind is, she want to push herself on this project to come back even better for the sake of Jelee. Of course she could have tried to make both at the same time, but as an artist myself, I will say that Mahiru took the right decision, sometimes, working on two project side by side is too much too handle especially when you know your limits and don't want to half assed things. Working only on one things at 100 % or even more while taking a pause on another, is better than giving 60 % on both project and not being happy with both result or trying to do both at 100 % and ending up hurting your body, mind and having to take a longer pause because you pushed yourself too hard. It sound pessimistic maybe, but I know that if you work on two projects and end up not liking any of them in the end, you might end up thinking "what if I only worked on one, I would I made it better, I would have had more time to polish this thing and could have added that thing", this type of regrets might end up poisoning your mind and fueling your doubts and fear. It's not like Mahiru say that she quit Jelee, she have the desire to come back after, but she know it's an opportunity that might not happen twice that could help her grow as an artist and help Jelee in the end. Sorry for the wall of text, but since I drew myself, i can relate so much to Mahiru and her struggle and decisions. I can relate to Kiui too for another thing but we might talk about it in the next episode.

Mahiru's growth is also important in this situation. Kaho might feel she is being abandoned, but if she observes Mahiru's growth, then that growth might really help Jellee and Kaho.

Initially Mero's efforts to brush off Mei recognising who she was ties into Japanese celebrity cultural expectations regarding rights to privacy and even moreso within the idol sphere. If a celebrity marries someone outside of a public facing/entertainment industry, then it's rare you ever find out their name or even see a picture of them, for example Yuri & Tomo-zo of Gacharic Spin have both gotten married and the press releases announcing their respective marriages only stated that their husbands were from outside the music industry. By contrast Tamu from Nemophila is married to Akira Yamaoka, the videogame composer behind Silent Hill amongst many other games and they post plenty of pics together, but their daughters faces are still frequently obscured. With Japanese idols there's basically a social contract, where if you encounter them in everyday life, unless you already personally know them outside of their job, then you're supposed to politely ignore them and leave them alone. Mei's unintentional breaking of that rule is half played for laughs to reflect her difficulties with following social norms and general awkwardness. Revealing she's a member of Jelee is the eventual way she disarms the misunderstanding that she's a crazy fan/possible stalker, because whilst also another teen & Kano's superfan she's also technically in the industry, so they can then effectively 'talk shop'. The '-pi' tem that Mero is using for Kano's mum would come under the category of Japanese honorifics, the most common of which, used when being polite with someone you don't know personally is '-san' (as in the equivalent of family name or stage-name prefixed by Mr, Mrs, Ms, Miss, etc). You then have some more informal ones including '-chan' (used with children, female friends or perhaps your grandmother if she's the adorable type) or '-kun' (often used for junior co-workers, young boys or friends). Mei uses '-tan' when referring to Kano, which is a cutesy version of '-chan' more often spoken by younger children who struggle to pronounce the 'ch' sound. There's also more formal ones including '-sama', '-senpai' and '-sensei'. And there's the most important/intimate honorific usage which is none at all, or a null honorific, where you are addressing a person to whom you are speaking in an intimate and familiar manner usually restricted to family, spouses/partners or one's closest friends. Speaking to a Japanese person like this without permission can actually be seen as both culturally insensitive and quite offensive. In the case of '-pi' it's being used as a shortened affectation for producer, but Mero gets called out in an earlier episode for using it by one of the other group members, because it can also be used as a cutesy honorific for small pets (for other folk reading the comments, see P-Chan in Ranma 1/2), so could easily be misconstrued and not exactly appropriate in a professional setting. Mero's sense of self-worth & talents being entirely tied up in the attention and approval of her producer/employer isn't remotely healthy, she seems to half recognise it but also seems rather messed up emotionally. Mahiru focusing on one job/project at a time is the only way she can envisage standing a chance of being able to cope. Remember before Kano reignited her desire to draw/create art again she'd basically stopped entirely (outside of little doodles and the like) and is still battling self-doubt. Plus she is also in her final year of high school leading up to entrance exams, with the significant time commitments that involves. I think Spadeas explains this point particularly well below.

There's nothing wrong with a win/win situation :)
