Talk:Episode 09 - Miracle Girls☆/@comment-24848025-20160602101247

Well, I wasn't expecting the introduction of rival idols from a rival school this early - but it's happened. I forgot their names off hand but the school name is interesting - "Shining Star Academy."

Additionally, we got treated to a double insert with Laura doing Aikatsu Step (again, matching Idol Activity's initial run at the start of the original Aikatsu with 5 uses in the first 9 episodes.) and Yume doing Heart Skips (again, with those terrible Hot Pants.)

Yume defintely showed off that MC "I turn rivals to friends" ability this episode that Ichigo and Akari had in the original series.
