They all deserve the spot. Lilly doesn't have something deeming her to deserve the spot more. As I see it, Yume and Laura worked harder. You can see it in their character development. Laura was honestly a brat in the beginning. I don't know if BANDAI had a clue what to do with her. But she is 1,000x better now. Yes, Lilly is a 2nd year and has that promise, but she had little to no development. She sang the same song I don't know how many times. Her being in S4 clearly wasn't in the storyline. Laura or Yume have a better chance.

Yume more. What would be her "crisis" if she didn't get into S4. Koharu is at Venus Ark. They wanted to be idols together as children. Without Yume in S4, there is no need for Elsa to want to recruit Yume. There will also be nnothing holding Yume to Starlight Academy. If she is in S4 she will have a commitment that will conflict with her want to be with her best friend. It will give her a reason to not go to Venus Ark. This is Aikatsu STARS people. Not Aikatsu. We can't take the plot lines and flow or decisions of the first series as a rule guide for this series. Yume is not Ichigo or Akari.

That being said, at the moment, Yume can flop her performance and Laura takes the win. I don't see how that will benefit the story for season 2, but who knows.
