Toya feels proud of how far he’s come with Vivid BAD SQUAD, but an argument with his father reminds him of the pressure to return to classical music. Meanwhile, Kohane’s parents worry about her performing in live houses, so the group suggests inviting them to their next show to see it for themselves.

An old friend of An’s dad visits the café and praises Vivid BAD SQUAD after hearing them perform. He gives Toya honest feedback about his singing feeling stiff, which makes Toya wonder if his classical training is holding him back.

Toya shares his worries with Akito and realizes he’s finally able to open up to others thanks to their friendship. After talking with An’s dad, Toya starts to wonder if his struggles come not from classical music itself but from unresolved feelings about his father.

Toya decides to confront his father again, but their conversation turns into another painful fight. Feeling frustrated and unheard, Toya storms out but knows he needs to keep moving forward for the group.

The others try to help Toya understand that maybe his father pushes classical music because he truly believes it leads to happiness. Toya realizes he also wants to pursue his own kind of happiness through street music and decides to speak honestly to his father one more time.

Before their performance, Toya isn’t sure if his dad will come, but he decides to give it his all anyway. On stage, he sings more freely than ever before, and the audience is blown away by how strong and emotional their performance is.

Kohane thanks the group for helping her with her parents, and Toya tells them he’s ready to keep chasing his dream, no matter what his father thinks. Later that night, Toya finds out his dad secretly came to the show, and he quietly thanks him before going to celebrate with his friends in SEKAI.

After Miku and Rin finish their countdown show, the girls from MORE MORE JUMP! arrive. They ask Miku and Rin to help them film a fun New Year’s video.

Nene begins to doubt her singing and compares herself to Sakurako. Despite her friends’ support, she stays behind to practice alone, determined not to let them down.

Rui realizes her technique is flawless, but she’s hiding her emotions on stage. Nene doesn’t know how to sing with feeling anymore, but a forgotten memory might help her.

Emu encourages Nene to open up about her past. As she listens to everyone’s stories, she starts to remember why she loved the stage in the first place.

Nene watches a childhood video of herself singing and sees how joyful she once was. She decides to stop overthinking and simply enjoy performing again.

While preparing, Rui finds a trap room under the stage and decides to include it in the play. During rehearsal, Tsukasa falls because of a malfunction, but luckily he’s okay and still enthusiastic.

Rui starts changing the play to be safer, which confuses the group. Tsukasa feels that Rui is not being true to himself and confronts him about it.

After her shift, Saki still feels joy lingering and recalls the promise she made in the hospital to get better. Now that she's busy with school, music, and work, she wants to make new memories and plans a day out after seeing a poster for a stargazing event.

Saki invites everyone to the observatory, but Shiho hesitates, worried it’ll affect practice. After Luka encourages her and Saki promises to stay serious about the band, Shiho agrees, but she starts worrying if Saki’s overdoing it.

Saki’s excited and insists she can handle everything, brushing off Tsukasa’s concern. Even as she starts feeling worse, she takes on more work, determined to hold out until the big day.

Despite her fever, Saki hides how sick she is and joins practice, but eventually collapses. She tearfully admits she just didn’t want to miss out on time with them again, after losing so much to her illness.

At home, she lies in bed as it rains, heartbroken to miss the day she’d looked forward to. In Sekai, Luka listens as Saki opens up, while Ichika reminds the others how lonely Saki once was, so they decide to go see her together.

When they arrive and find her gone, they realize she must be in Sekai. There, Saki admits she’s been chasing time out of fear, but her friends appear and gently promise she doesn't have to rush. They’ll stay by her side.

Since the real trip didn’t happen, the girls create a planetarium in Sekai with stars and snacks. As they laugh and relax together, Saki feels warm and safe, and promises to move forward slowly, together with her precious friends.
