Summary
Seeing the success of Ayumu Uehara's self-introduction in collecting views, everyone decides to create their own promotional videos (PVs) as solo idols to introduce themselves. Having been assisted to wear costumes as part of her PV, Emma Verde tries to convince Karin Asaka to join the School Idol Club. However, Karin dismisses the idea and tells Emma not to invite her to the School Idol Club again. The next day, Emma reads Karin's questionnaire from a fashion magazine saying that Karin is most interested in school idols. Inspired, Emma spends the afternoon with Karin before she confronts Karin about wanting to know her more. Seeing the doubt about her identity in Karin's face, Emma sings a song for her which inspires Karin to join the School Idol Club.
