Snackgirls react

Kirari: Forty-nine idols building toward one concert could put sixteen different unit colors on the same stage. That’s the moment I want to see.

Nea: Keeping the current brand-story setting while giving every idol a new goal is what hooks me. I want to see where the units’ paths intersect.
