Star-Crossed Myth AU.  Rogue flies into Remy's open arms. Rogue: "See, mortals ain't built to withstand the kind a' power you got brewin' inside."

Now that we've moved into the Myself era of the show, the ending has some minor visuals of its own rather than a clip reel. I love when you can track the show by changes in the credits sequences.

Well, you know. Teenagers.
Mitsuki, encountering the girl from earlier: "Oh, it's you." Girl: "I'm sorry."  Mitsuki: "Huh?" Girl: "You're a much better singer than me." Girl: "I was so mean... I was just jealous of you."

And she gets to prove to everyone that she's the real deal!
Takuto smiles proudly as he watches Mitsuki sing The crowd is amazed Even the mean girl from earlier is awed

And we're finally here!

Myself is probably my least favorite of Mitsuki's songs, but that's through no fault of its own, I just like the others more. It's still good, and definitely still sticks in my head.

And now, honesty. He says quite a bit about Mitsuki's singing that I can't fit into four screencaps, but the message is clear: He knows what he's talking about when he says her singing is good.
Takuto: "Even your low notes were clear as a bell." Takuto: "It made me very happy." Mitsuki: "I was happy too, that day at the audition." Mitsuki: "It had been a long time since I sang so loudly."

Takuto is there for Mitsuki, but he will also challenge her. Whatever it takes to get her out of that spiral.
Mitsuki: "Now my hair's all messed up!" Mitsuki: "That's mean!  They took the trouble of making it so pretty!" Takuto: "You were worrying that you're just a 'pretty face'," Takuto: "But just as I thought, you were thinking about your appearance."

Sometimes when you're stuck in your thoughts, what you need is a hard reset
Takuto finds Mitsuki on the roof. "So this is where you're hiding." Mitsuki: "Takuto... I..." Takuto messes up Mitsuki's hair Mitsuki: "What do you think you're doing?"

Ooh, the way Ms Oshige's voice turns hard after Mitsuki asked that. She's gonna throw hands.
Mitsuki: "When I was chosen at the audition... was it because the judges thought I was pretty?" Oshige, suddenly serious: "Who said that to you?"

52 episodes, this will mark an eighth of the way through.

They had all the contestants in one room, so they COULD'VE seen each other, but we saw Mitsuki's whole time in that room, and the one person who talked to her wasn't this girl

Kudos to the dub coming up with wordplay to make sense in english!
Takasu: "It's supposed to be 'peace', not 'piece'.  Like world peace." Oshige: "Th-then is that why my career failed?!"
firefaerie81.bsky.social
Ms Oshige is also always there for Mitsuki to rely on. <3
Oshige: "I was singing on a poolside stage in an amusement park." Oshige: "Before the show I was super nervous." Oshige: "Another singer took me by the hand and said at times like this," Oshige: "I should write the word 'piece' on my hand."

But Mitsuki is a tender heart, and believes in people she doesn't know. She doesn't assume they're liars because they're saying something she doesn't want to hear.
Takuto: "I think I just met the meanest girl in the world." Mitsuki, thinking: "Was I really chosen because of my looks?" Mitsuki, thinking: "Does my singing matter at all?"

Jealousy is a terrible color on you
Girl: "You just got lucky.  If I'd gone first, I would've been chosen." Girl: "You weren't chosen for your singing, you were chosen for your looks." Girl: "Your singing isn't all that great." Girl: "You probably don't know your own limits, so this will put you in your place."

Takuto has quickly become Mitsuki's rock, there to ground her when she's scared.
Mitsuki: "What if I mess up the lyrics to my song or something?" Takuto: "In that case, just start laughing." Mitsuki: "I can't do that!  I worked so hard on those lyrics." Takuto: "Then you must know the words inside out."

Another moment of Takuto being naturally knowledgeable about what it's like to be in showbiz. :3
Mitsuki seems distracted.  Takuto: "What's wrong?" Mitsuki, looking at the poster of Full Moon: "I don't know, somehow it doesn't look like me." Takuto: "That's natural.  You're feeling the difference between your image and your real self."

This is why you make sure your people know exactly where to go. So they're not wandering around Shibuya with no clue what they're looking for.
Takuto: "Did your manager say what street it's on?" Mitsuki: "She said I'd see it if I went to the main street."
