I know this episode is minimal in its approach, but holy moly was it done really well.

I legitimately thought I was watching a theater monologue by Hatsune (Uika). She was telling her life story explaining everything, dropping lore left and right and it was so captivating. Her argument with herself was artistic in it's approach. I felt like I was there!

I loved this episode and I feel like I now know too much about what is going on. It's such a tangled web. How can Ave Mujica survive?!

2026-10-06 05:00 Hee, yeah Rico's performance here is just amazing (as well as the writing and direction). On the weekly YT show Bandori has, I saw she talked about this episode, and going back to her school/acting class days in her mind, remembering the lessons to be ready for this. And yes, I think the ramifications of the facts that were dropped completely change the perspective of some of the events. It's like, it's not only the characters that wear the masks - the fricken story does too. LOL So without going into the next eps, I believe basically, Sakiko's dad was entirely set up. First of all, what is the one thing everyone has said is his main feature - his integrity. Not a guy who would willingly fudge the books to soften losses, which I think they mean by 'fraud' here. Not a guy who had to know he was probably putting himself at risk by pushing Sadahuru to acknowledge his daughter in the first place. He needed to be out of the picture, and not a viable threat, so he had to be discredited not only removed. The alcoholism was probably just a unhappy side effect, but it helps reinforce what - whoever - wanted. I think what's nice here is that they are leaving the kids to be kids - they only see the immediate troubles and emotions. They don't see the deeper RL politics and frankly, dangers with what is happening. The way this is shown - I don't think Hatsune knew anything about the specifics of the meeting of Dad and Grandpa. She just knows - she spilled the beans to Dad, and suddenly his life and Sakiko's went to shit. We see what really went down, and can understand the more adult reasons why. That's why, she doesn't know it - but I'm sure Sudahuru was always 10 steps ahead of all of them. I'm sure Hatsune's mom told him like the minute she realized Hatsune left. And she was 'approached' by a rising idol star already in a agency. Until we know more, I'm assuming that was also setup - did Grandpa buy that agency when found out she left? Because as she said - rookies don't get put in groups that are immediately playing big venues. Not a thing - unless you have major billionaire type family pulling strings behind the scene. And the double genius of it - idols don't use their real names. Always an allias stage name - so *no one* would think twice she's not really 'Uika'. He's literally hiding his daughter in plain sight. This also has huge ramifications with Ave. So you want to know why the masks - could Grandpa have ordered the agency people to introduce the idea to Saki? He knew Uika/Hatsune was going to be in the band - maybe that was his condition behind the scenes to let them go at all? But also explains, how Saki as a 16 year old is being given self-management of a brand new band, playing large venues from the start, and 'becoming the band that goes from debut to Budokan fastest in history' It explains so much. It was Grandpa the whole time, running the show. Kids can't see that. And then after they de-masked, and people knew it was Uika in AM, the first chance he saw, he shut it down, and ordered the agency never to allow it to restart - remember that was them telling her "We can't restart, we need permission from 'the top'". In the same way, a huge thing we learn is - Grandpa isn't Togowa blood. Which makes him just as vulnerable as Dad. And actually at the end of the day, gives Sakiko way more power because she is the only blood relative of the three. But she's a kid, and those things just aren't a thing. This whole thing is just nuts when you start to pull apart what this all means.

But now he's so scared that Hatsune and Sakiko are meeting without his knowing, that it's time to remove Sakiko so he has better control over her.

Also have to laugh - they try to make the audience feel empathetic toward Grandpa by having it said he had the affair because his own wife died. Sorry, I think "Having sex with the younger housekeeper of your summer island villa" is only a stage of grief for billionaires...

Funnily enough when this was airing there were 2 theories about Uika, that she and Saki were related or that there were 2 Uikas. The foreshadowing is subtle for the reveal and you don't notice it until a second watch. In the first watch you just ignore it as the writers making an excuse for exposition. Hatsune was told to only tell family she became an idol and she didn't 😊 I think she's just blaming herself for the fraud case and Saki's dad and trying to feel guilty and get people to hate her.

2026-10-11 15:00 What....an....episode! Yes, they really make full use of Rico Sasaki's theatre background to be able to pull this off. As findle has already said, it's appears to be the case that Saki's dad was made to take the blame for the fraud as punishment for speaking up against Grandpa and not anything he actually did wrong financially (I think from the start its asserted that he's supposed to have great integrity, and I think I remember one comment after episode 1 speculating that he wasn't really to blame - good call if you've really never seen it before!) - so from Uika's perspective she feels she's fully to blame - but ultimately the real villains in this show are Saki's grandpa for how her treats first Hatsune and then Saki's dad, and of course Mitsumi's parents as previously discussed. Yes, Uika's (gonna keep calling her that) behaviour seems obsessive - but imagine being born into a situation where you were not officially acknowledged - effectively hidden away - then made to feel not part of your family after more tragedy. Her one ray of light was meeting with Saki and it gave her a window to what a world could be - and it does seem that Saki can have quite an impact on people even when they've not had such a traumatic life. After she realised what consequences she had created for Saki and her father, I take a lot of her behaviour as attempted redemption rather than obsession, she's trying to help Saki to be happy again - but maybe I'm just trying to see the positive side

p.s. sorry Home Gnome can't come to the comments section right now...he's feeling a bit locked inside his own box...

Uika/Hatsune is played by Sasaki Rico. She’s got some theater background too—she played Annie back in 2008. Glad you really noticed her skill and range here. Best girl. :3 “Uihats” is now her new name to me lol. But really, I still don’t know what to call her aside from Doloris. Though I just use Uika or Hatsune depending on the context. 😂 This episode is experimental, and yet it’s still pretty gripping. Doloris’ obsession with her Oblivioniece is definitely not healthy, but if you were someone who felt othered by your own family, and then this person who is technically family suddenly gives you the attention and affection you’ve been craving… yeah, I can understand why it would become something she desperately clings to. Hatsune also carries a lot of guilt regarding Saki’s dad. She seems to believe that Grandpa either manufactured the whole situation or at least deliberately shifted the blame onto him, just so his busybody self could no longer become a threat—especially if he might expose Hatsune’s identity. And did I mention Sasaki Rico is awesome? :3 Kekeke. Only 2 more episodes… 😭

findle

oh last thing - this isn't ominous or anything, but I would skip the previews for the last ep. going in without spoilers will be the most enjoyable, IMO.
