In the form of a variety show, Moca invites the other members of Afterglow to share emotional stories. Tsugumi, Tomoe, and Himari each recall events that all feature Ran getting embarrassed, to said person's bewilderment, which are ranked by their emotional impact. Moca simply presents a photo of Ran as a child, which the three quickly declare the winner. Ran attempts to protest but is met with her bandmates stating their love for her; before Ran could comment, Moca ends the "show". | |||
| 5 | "Find Jennifer!" Transliteration: "Jenifā-chan o Sagase!" (Japanese: ジェニファーちゃんを捜せ！) | November 4, 2021 | |
Chisato receives a text from a friend saying her pet Jennifer has gone missing. Eve, Maya, Sāya, and Tae offer to help find Jennifer, but when Chisato draws a picture of the pet for reference, her poor artistic skills result in a deformed four-legged creature. The four present various animals such as Sāya finding a cat, Tae finding a grasshopper (which obviously scares Chisato due to her fear of bugs), Maya finding a goat, and Eve finding a jellyfish (which causes Chisato to quickly warn her to get rid of it before it stings her) before Sāya (jokingly) shows up with a potato shaped like a rabbit (prompting a dismayed Chisato to scold Sāya into taking the situation seriously). Tae finds a being that looks exactly as depicted in the drawing, though Chisato points out it is also not Jennifer. The friend eventually texts her again to confirm that Jennifer has been found, and the group expresses relief at the pet being a normal dog. | |||
| 6 | "Produce☆Galaxy" Transliteration: "Purode~yūsu ☆ Ginga" (Japanese: プロデュース☆銀河) | November 11, 2021 | |
Hoping to attract more customers to Galaxy Ramen after a rival chain restaurant opens nearby, Masuki consults Raise A Suilen for promotional ideas. Chiyu and Rei respectively suggest a planetarium and free rice, both of which are rejected as being too obvious while the latter is already offered; Masuki also turns down Rokka's idea of having Poppin'Party perform due to the store's small size. Reona comments on the popularity of cosplay restaurants (after accidentally showing an article about the discovery Chisato’s drawing creature from the previous episode), which Masuki decides to try. The concept, which consists of Masuki dressing in a bunny costume and serving rabbit-themed ramen, proves to be a massive success. | |||
| 7 | "Himari's SNS Wars" Transliteration: "Himari no SNS WARS" (Japanese: ひまりのSNS WARS) | November 18, 2021 | |
Himari posts a photo of a cake on Twitter, which garners more interactions than Aya's omurice but less than Tōko's cup noodles, motivating her to boost her social media presence. The three post about topics like new clothes and attending events, but Himari continues to lose to Tōko while Aya's tweets have few reactions. When she notices Tōko's tweet about being scared of a bug, Himari deduces that the best way to go viral is to do something that she fears. Himari's ensuing tweet of her bungee jumping goes viral, but is outperformed by Aya's post at a haunted house when her followers notice a ghost in the background of her photo. | |||
| 8 | "The Pastel＊Palettes Dish" Transliteration: "THE Pasupare Disshu" (Japanese: THE パスパレ DISH) | November 25, 2021 | |
Hoping to create the perfect omurice, Pastel Palettes begins farming rice at a paddy field. When the band struggles to till the soil, Chisato motivates them by eating the dirt to test its viability. Upon planting the rice but encountering a drought, they perform a rain dance to produce the water. At night, Aya is distressed about the fields before the others inspire her by comparing the rice's journey to the band's. In the end, the five enjoy their rice. | |||
| 9 | "Running Down a Dream" Transliteration: "Kakenukero Seishun" (Japanese: 駆け抜けろ青春) | December 2, 2021 | |
Yukina and Lisa discuss using the Haneoka Girls' High School marathon as a method to improve their stamina for concerts, which Ran remarks as unnecessary. A slighted Yukina challenges Ran to a race and they immediately sprint as the marathon begins. Himari and Tomoe jog together, but the former falls back while trying to start a conversation, and Tomoe catches up to Moca and Lisa—who were talking about their jobs—before she realizes she left Himari behind. At the finish, an exhausted Ran and Yukina walk to the line as they commend each other, and finish the marathon together before collapsing. | |||
| 10 | "The Black La Vie en Note" Transliteration: "Shikkoku no Ravuian Nōto" (Japanese: 漆黒のラヴィアンノート) | December 9, 2021 | |
Ako spots a notebook on the ground while leaving CiRCLE, which is revealed to be Mashiro's that she had lost. The book's dark content engrosses the chūnibyō Ako, who reads lines from it aloud in school. Mashiro struggles to find the book before discovering Ako with it, though Ako refuses to turn over "The Black La Vie en Note" until Mashiro proves her ownership. Mashiro acquiesces and recites a verse in a chūnibyō style, which draws Ako's admiration but deeply embarrasses her. (Trivia: The notebook’s appearance is similar to that of the titular black notebook from Death Note.) | |||
| 11 | "Mashiro the Worrywart" Transliteration: "Shinpai-sei no Mashiro-chan" (Japanese: 心配性のましろちゃん) | December 16, 2021 | |
After a show, Morfonica prepares to depart when Mashiro decides to stay behind to let the moment sink in. The next day at school, she asks Rui, Tsukushi, and Tōko what the band did following the concert, though they give vague answers that raises suspicion; Mashiro attempts to confront Nanami after school, though she runs away before Mashiro could question her. Mashiro theorizes the band's performance went poorly, prompting the others to replace her with a new vocalist with Mashiro being sent to a labor camp if she intervenes. Expecting to be kicked out of the group when Tōko calls her back to school, Mashiro is instead greeted with a congratulatory party organized by her bandmates, causing her to break down in tears. | |||
| 12 | "Jerky Adventure" Transliteration: "Jākī Adobenchā" (Japanese: ジャーキーアドベンチャー) | December 23, 2021 | |
Rei spots Reona in hiking gear, who explains she is on a quest to find the ideal jerky for Chiyu. A skeptical Rei follows her to North America, where they climb a mountain range in search of the "Golden Bison"; though a stone tablet reveals said bison is extinct, Reona deciphers that its jerky is at "Golden Rock" in continental Asia. Upon reaching the location and scaling its mountain, they find out the bison's jerky is actually the nest of the "Golden Bird" at the summit, but it turns out to be advertising for the Golden Farms poultry farm. The two return to Japan, where Reona spots beef jerky for sale at the airport, which Chiyu ultimately enjoys. | |||
| 13 | "Seven Bands in a Joint Concert of Dreams!" Transliteration: "7 Bando, Yume no Gōdō Raibu!" (Japanese: ７バンド、夢の合同ライブ！) | December 30, 2021 | |
The seven bands prepare for their joint live, aptly called the "Poppin'AfterPastelRoseHelloMoniRASConcert", with many of the girls alluding to their respective earlier episodes such as Aya, Himari, and Tōko posting about it on social media. Likewise, each band's performance reflects a past episode as Poppin'Party's is Sengoku themed, Michelle performs martial arts alongside Hello, Happy World!, Afterglow dons game show buttons, Roselia is exercising, Pastel Palletes is dressed as rice farmers and acommpanied by Chisato's "Jennifer" creature, Raise A Suilen wears rabbit costumes, and Mashiro recites lines from "The Black La Vie en Note" to mixed responses from Morfonica. After the show, Kasumi approaches Marina, who is sitting alone after receiving a phone call earlier in the day, to which Kasumi narrates that the bands do not realize something major will happen to CiRCLE. | |||
| 14 | "Training Camp Sonata" Transliteration: "Penshon Andante" (Japanese: ペンションアンダンテ) | January 6, 2022 | |
Roselia holds a training camp at a mansion. A brief power outage prompts Ako to remark their situation resembles a horror game, though the comment is not unfounded as oddities take place such as Lisa's room door closing by itself and the grand piano in the lobby playing on its own. When Sayo fails to show up after the five reconvene, they begin searching the building in a manner similar to the Resident Evil series to no avail. Yukina accidentally activates a secret passage by leaning against a statue. They follow a trail of what appears to be blood to Sayo, who is revealed to simply be eating French fries with ketchup. Ako hears the piano play again and assumes it is Rinko, though she is perplexed upon realizing Rinko had been accompanying the group. | |||
| 15 | "Poppin'Moni Movie" Transliteration: "PopiMoni Rōdoshō" (Japanese: ポピモニロードショー) | January 13, 2022 | |
Rimi and Nanami finish watching a horror movie and discuss what makes popular titles stand out in a crowded genre, which is done by picturing their bandmates in scenarios emulating acclaimed films. In a Poppin'Party-led parody of Friday the 13th, Kasumi, Sāya, and Tae are camping when Kasumi and Tae decide to go stargazing. Tae is ambushed by Jason Voorhees, who is revealed to be Arisa before she gets hugged by Kasumi. Morfonica's sketch satirizes The Ring as Mashiro and Tōko notice Sadako Yamamura appearing from their television. The two panic before Rui shows up and turns off the television while Sadako is crossing through the screen, exposing her as Tsukushi and leaving her stuck in the device. Although Rimi and Nanami attempt to salvage the situation by imagining them being gradually attacked (which is merely Sāya bringing food to the two bands outside a campfire), they realize their bandmates are incapable of being proper horror characters. | |||
| 16 | "Happy Happy Vacation" Transliteration: "Hapihapi ♪ Bakēshon" (Japanese: ハピハピ♪バケーション) | January 20, 2022 | |
Hello, Happy World! visits the beach, where Misaki is dressed as Michelle (who in turn is wearing a swimsuit). Their day begins with a round of doubles beach volleyball with Michelle and Kokoro playing against Hagumi and Kanon, though Michelle wears herself out from repeatedly trying to return Hagumi's serves. Hoping to help her, Kanon proposes the others to make shaved ice while she convinces Misaki to take off Michelle. Misaki, Kokoro, and Hagumi search for seashells in the ocean, during which Kokoro ponders Michelle's presence. When Misaki tries to deflect by suggesting she is swimming, Kokoro notices the bear costume floating into the ocean, forcing Misaki to chase after it while an oblivious Kokoro, Hagumi, and Kaoru follow with the belief that they're going to swim. | |||
| 17 | "Chocolate Cornet Embezzlement" Transliteration: "Korone Tsumamigui Saiban" (Japanese: コロネつまみ食い裁判) | January 27, 2022 | |
In a trial parodying the Ace Attorney franchise, prosecutor Arisa indicts Mashiro for eating Rimi's chocolate cornet. Mashiro asserts her innocence and is backed by her attorney Kasumi, who continually objects to Arisa's evidence such as Mashiro declaring her love for the pastry (Mashiro claims she had only recently started enjoying them) and visiting Yamabuki Bakery but being told by Sāya they were out (she approached Sāya and Poppin'Party to ask about the band, though Kasumi had forgotten). Aya is called to the stand as a witness and recalls spotting Mashiro with chocolate around her mouth, which Mashiro defends as croquette sauce. When Kasumi continues to object, Aya reveals she spotted Kasumi eating a cornet, resulting in a quarrel between her and Arisa. Marina arrives in CiRCLE's basement where the trial was being held, and the others notice chocolate covering her mouth. Convinced, judge Rui proclaims her guilt. | |||
| 18 | "Kitty Kitty Time" Transliteration: "Neko Neko Taimu" (Japanese: ねこねこタイム) | February 3, 2022 | |
On her way to rehearsal, Yukina spots a cat that she briefly pets before leaving. The cat follows her before climbing a tree; when Yukina follows to bring it back down, the branch they are on snaps. At CiRCLE, Yukina is perplexed when her bandmates begin petting her until she realizes she has swapped bodies with the cat. She attempts to catch Lisa's attention by crawling inside her school blazer, though the others assume it is the cat being affectionate. Hina arrives with the cat in Yukina's body, which quickly latches on to Sayo. Lisa and Hina attempt to separate them, during which Yukina throws herself at her body and switches back. In her body again, Yukina nonchalantly begins practice before suddenly meowing, to everyone's confusion. | |||
| 19 | "Girls Band Party Masterpiece Theatre Taederella" Transliteration: "Garupa Meisaku Gekijō ~Taederera~" (Japanese: ガルパ名作劇場～たえデレラ～) | February 10, 2022 | |
In a puppetry parody of "Cinderella", Taederella is forced to clean by her family (Chiyu, Reona, and Masuki) while they attend a music festival where a prince is performing. Taederella wishes to attend and is greeted by a fairy godmother (Rokka) who gives her concert merchandise and a taxi voucher that she must return by midnight. At the show, the prince (Rei) searches among the crowd for someone to perform with and selects Taederella. After the two play together, Taederella is carried away by the fans before the prince could get her name, though she receives a glass guitar pick that she uses to track down Taederella and invites her to join her band. However, Tae breaks character and the fourth wall by refusing as she is already in Poppin'Party, causing Raise A Suilen to knock over the puppet stage in disbelief. | |||
| 20 | "Tomoe at the Arcade" Transliteration: "Gēmusentā Tomoe" (Japanese: ゲームセンターともえ) | February 17, 2022 | |
The Udagawa sisters are at an arcade where Tomoe decides to play a taiko game. She is suddenly challenged by Masuki to a two-person showdown, where they exert their drumming skills at exaggeratedly strong levels. Despite giving everything they had, the two end up tied in second place. To their surprise, the player at the top of the leaderboards turns out to be Maya. | |||
| 21 | "Happy Samba Carnival" Transliteration: "Happī Sanbaka Nibal" (Japanese: ハッピーさんばかーニバル) | February 24, 2022 | |
Hello, Happy World! is trying out a teleportation machine that Kokoro's Suits had built. They look inside the device to see how it works, but a curious Hagumi tries to push her way in and accidentally knocks the band into it, causing the machine to activate. The five swap bodies, causing them to panic until they hear the Suits approaching. Misaki, who is in Kokoro's body, quells the situation but is taken away by the Suits, unaware of their master's new host. While Misaki struggles to impersonate Kokoro amid her lavish lifestyle, Kokoro (in Misaki) leads the others through town where they spot Chisato. Kaoru (in Kanon) continues to act like herself, puzzling Chisato, before the four spot a samba parade. Misaki finds them participating in the parade, to Kanon (in Hagumi) and Chisato's horror and her disbelief. | |||
| 22 | "CiRCLE Kindergarten" Transliteration: "Sākuru Yōchien" (Japanese: さーくる幼稚園) | March 3, 2022 | |
Set in an alternate timeline, in which most of the girls are kindergartners, Marina runs a kindergarten at CiRCLE where she oversees the band girls. She watches the Hikawa twins play in the sandbox, but is shocked when they construct a sand guitar. Himari and Hagumi recite a nursery rhyme while playing rock paper scissors before the former pretends to play a bass riff. Chisato and Kaoru play house which becomes an unusually mature story about a struggling musician and her mother. When Sayo and Afterglow decide to play hopscotch, Marina is relieved at seeing a normal game before realizing the hopscotch outline resembles a music staff. She assembles the girls to rehearse for the school recital, but they sing dark lyrics about bands disagreeing with each other and the resulting fallout. Marina tries to manage the dilemma by asking for alternatives, though everyone suggests bizarre song ideas until she orders them to stop. | |||
| 23 | "Ook, Ook, Eek" Transliteration: "Uhohouhohoi" (Japanese: ウホホウホホイ) | March 10, 2022 | |
In a time of cavemen, Kasumi wakes up her friends before they begin hunting and gathering food, with Aya and Nanami staying behind. The hunters—Kasumi, Kokoro, and Hagumi—encounter a deer that they attempt to kill with their spears, but it inexplicably dodges each attack before escaping. The gatherers—Arisa, Rimi, and Tsukushi—collect fruit until they hear a rumble that forces them to run away, though they realize they are hiding underneath a mammoth. The trio are chased by the mammoth toward the hunters, who capitalize on the situation to kill it. The eight enjoy their feast before Kasumi tosses one of the mammoth's bones aside; hearing the sound it makes, she starts drumming with a pair of bones and encourages the others to join in. | |||
| 24 | "Thank You" Transliteration: "Arigatō" (Japanese: ありがとう) | March 17, 2022 | |
Yukina shows up to class wearing a face mask after losing her voice from practicing too much. Lisa initially urges her to go home, but she recognizes that Yukina wants to buy a new album at the music store. While shopping, Yukina encounters Chiyu and Reona, the former of whom mocks her for not taking care of herself before Lisa intervenes. At Hazawa Coffee, after a brief encounter with Eve, Lisa advises Yukina to order herbal tea instead of hot chocolate to treat her throat. As they head home, Yukina attempts to voice her gratitude, but Lisa acknowledges she knows what she is trying to say and accepts her thanks. | |||
| 25 | "Seven Band Joint Concert Meeting" Transliteration: "7 Bando Gōdō Raibu Enshutsu Kaigi!" (Japanese: 7バンド合同ライブ演出会議！) | March 24, 2022 | |
The bands notice Marina is absent from their meeting for the upcoming show. Maya and Rinko recall unusual behavior when they saw her in the past week that is initially interpreted by some as lovesickness, the former having spotted her wistfully staring out the window while the latter noticed her reading a magazine. Additional anecdotes imply Marina is departing CiRCLE as Rinko points out her magazine appeared to be a job listings book, while others remember her accidentally booking multiple bands for the same studio time slot, thanking an anonymous caller for their support, and cleaning up the counter with her personal belongings. Mashiro suggests she might be quitting while Ran theorizes the live house is closing, to the girls' distress. | |||
| 26 | "Beyond the Distant Sky" Transliteration: "Harukanaru Sora no Saki e" (Japanese: 遥かなるソラの先へ) | March 31, 2022 | |
As Marina continues to be absent from CiRCLE, the girls worry about the live house's future. Kasumi proposes organizing a concert of appreciation to send Marina off, which the bands enthusiastically approve. The girls' search for Marina ends when Kasumi spots her at a park, and she is taken back to CiRCLE where they perform. Although touched by their show, she is confused when the bands thank her for her support, and she explains her recent actions were simply helping a cafe staff member move. In disbelief, the girls let out a shout that forms into a large block of text, shooting CiRCLE into space. The live house thus becomes the first concert venue that doubles as a space station, and Poppin'Party hosts a show in astronaut gear. | |||
