Her age is probably why Mem never got close to any of the guys. She said she was fine being a support character and grow her channel. Also, it’s probably because she’s older that she picked up on Akane’s symptoms and acted quickly. She’s the one who told Aqua Akane wasn’t home and that’s why Aqua went out and managed to find Akane on time.

[@FreshestAnime]

15:12 I sort of realized that at the end. You bring up a good point in the second part of your comment. Didn't really think of that.

[@kubomagico8853]

​@@FreshestAnimeher age is also the reason she remembered Ai when listening Aqua's ideal girl description

[@username-ql8ox]

@@kubomagico8853 everyone on the show was 4~6 but she was 12, well in the idol scene already

[@rudolfgrbavac5855]

Mem told Aqua in the van, when they were sitting together, that she would do the romance thing if Aqua was interested.

[@colt1903]

​@@rudolfgrbavac5855 She was most likely joking cuz she could tell she isn't his type. Or, if she was serious, do remember he's an exception to most things surrounding age rather than the rule due to the fact he has like... Memories of a 30 year old doctor's life in his head. Man is like... At least 21 mentally. You can't convince me Aqua wouldn't be tempted to drink if it was legal for him to do so. Man literally looks like he needs one 24/7😂

[@RiriRuruu]

I think Kana has always been down on herself, it just bumped up a bit more after the Akana kiss. But we do see her constantly put herself down as an "expired child genius actor" in previous episodes. She really went through a lot of rejection/abandonment in her career.

[@akiko2559]

...even her own parents abandoned (kinda) her

[@Nolo-HLM]

​@@akiko2559 they did. Her mom used her as a genuine cash cow. She constantly did her best to become the best to get her moms approval. Thats why when someone like Aqua cane along and was "better" than her. She broke down realizing that her mom and everyone else would leave her.

[@ronil2186]

Ironically enough, both of those started with aqua, the day his performance overshadowed her in the scene for ai's horror movie...

[@thunderwearcloud]

I was like why're they discussing, Ruby's obviously the center, then I thought "wait a second" and rewinded back to the opening and saw Kana being the center and thought "nah this can't be true", then Kana refused to be the center and I was like "yeah this makes sense", then they revealed Kana being a good singer and I was like "Holy sh!t she's the center" I got jebated like 4 times watching this episode

[@caBr010]

Well Kana being the center kinda make sense and the logical answer if you think about it. She is the only one out of the 3 that is a proper artist, she is like a lot of real-life artist in JP like for example VAs that can do voice acting, theater or acting in series/movies, dance, sing, draw, play instruments, modeling etc, and are pretty good in all of those things. Also, like they said in the ep the center needs to be a good performer/singer not just cute. The problem with Kana is that she always sees herself as a "97/100" and not as a "100/100" artist bc she experienced a lot of rejection during her childhood after her "peak" so she thinks that she isn't good enough all the time.

[@lexieparrott2375]

seeing oshi no ko come as far as it has since i started it back in 2021 has been so cool!! kana blew me away today

[@fats2010]

thinking about it, mem and aqua were in pretty similar positions in terms of being WAY too old for the dating show they were on (although aqua's age is for sure up for debate) - that said, they both completely treated it as a job rather than an actual opportunity for romance, so I don't find it too weird.

[@asphalt187]

Aqua's situation is definitely unusual to say the least. I look at it like a teenager with the memories of an adult man as well, rather than an adult man in a teenager's body.

[@oppositeofitself8444]

Kana's in a really dark place right now. The idol group that she's been coasting along with is now moving faster than she can keep up with because of MEM-cho's arrival. She only joined the group because of Aqua to begin with, and is now constantly reminded of his new relationship with Akane. This, after he told her that he saw the dating show as just a work thing and that he wasn't very close to anyone there (certainly not as open as he could be with Kana), is a huge gut-punch and has immediate effects on her. She doesn't just feel betrayed by him turning around and dating someone else, she actively thinks lesser of herself and her appeal because of Aqua choosing someone else over her. His reasons are completely unrelated, but she doesn't know that because he isn't actually that close with her either. I love this show so much, but wow it knows how to make its characters suffer.

[@JadonF]

Kana😭. Idky but when Mem’s age was revealed she started looking older. Yes my girl Frill is back. I loved every bit of the screen time she had even if it was short.😌

[@GenuisSocietyNo83Herta]

Nah kana dont be like that we love you 😢

[@lennethVP]

Kana is my favorite character in the entire series, because she's always been Kana, and she's always kept her character theme, and she's amazing for being so human, having little confidence in her ability, even though she tries so hard and is so talented. A curiosity is that kana's eyes are not just a star, it's the UNIVERSE. She's talented, problem the industry has destroyed her self-confidence

[@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache]

A bigger curiosity is Mem's eyes were brown in her backstory but blue speckled red and stuff now. She either got the craziest contact lenses or a mistake from the animators lol.

[@alficammy6159]

@@NotSomeJustinWithoutAMoustache the studio really put most of the budget on the eyes because MEMcho eyes is fckin gorgeous in episode 8

[@alficammy6159]

Yeah same I like Kana character because she contradict with every character in this story that always lying, pretending and manipulating others to reach the top of entertainment world. While Kana aspirations is for people and the entertainment industry to accept her as who she is rather than put a facade like Ai, Akane, Aqua and Ruby.

[@Googleflax]

MEM being 25 isn't weird cause she's not shipped with anyone, nor does she have any romantic feelings for the main cast (plus she turned down the guy in the reality show, who if I remember correctly was 18 anyway).

[@FreshestAnime]

15:12

[@zander1896]

Kengo was 17

[@moalboris239]

Honestly it's not too weird in general to me. Legally speaking she could date most of the cast on that show in most European nations and in a lot of US states. It would only really get weird if she hid her age from them so they weren't aware how much older she was if she did accept. It would be awkward I suppose but it's not like she's 30.

[@zonebee7396]

Hello. Congratulations on 1500 likes. I'm looking forward to the play video of the green pepper gymnastics that Kana used to dance when she was little.

Did anyone else notice kana was wearing a baking soda t-shirt? I died when I saw that.

[@FreshestAnime]

I didn't. Good catch.

[@nox_tech_]

lol appreciated the reaction! thoughts and expanding for context and other stuff below: - 2:16 so for big name idol groups, the age limit for applicants is real. to expand on that, there isn't necessarily a hard limit on graduation age. it tends towards graduating before they're 25, but there's no rule or mandate aside from social pressure. there's also very easily idols who may want to stick around anyways - so we can see them well into their late 20s or early 30s before graduating. in my observation, they're the ones who lucked out and got their hooks in - establishing themselves as memorable members, putting out good work. they might've established their goals, and they're just biding their time until they have a good opportunity to go elsewhere. - in comparison to that, there's also chika idols (aka underground idols or indie idols), groups not under major labels or agencies. they probably and most typically follow similar structures and have the same limitations, but there's also others where they're flexible on the details, or just plain don't care. i've seen some where the youngest start at 25, and the others get older from there. heck, if a bunch of people get together and call themselves an idol group, technically they're valid. idol groups can take any form, you just gotta have the moxie to keep at it if you wanna go anywhere. - 9:29 japan idol festival is based off of the IRL tokyo idol festival - if you wanna see what actual idol groups are like, there's performances online. - 15:55 you had it right the first time around, lala lai is an acting troupe.

"I will be your Star" Kana Arima probably

[@alficammy6159]

I'm in love with this panel at chapter 38 because it's the first he look so starstruck after all the fiasco that happened to him

[@ecoshoebox]

According to the Music page on the official website, both songs from Kana from this episode will both be on the Oshi no Ko Character Song CD Vol.3 (along with Pieyon Boot Dance). The length of each track is currently unknown, so there is a possibility for Kana's and/or Pieyon's dance song(s) to be looped multiple times in a single track in a similar fashion to the videos from the official KZbin channel. EDIT: There's now a choreography video with a longer version of Kana's Dance on the official KZbin channel Vol.1 is B Komachi Ai, while Vol.2 is currently TBA. All 3 volumes are scheduled for release in Japan on July 5.

[@JRSA85]

When they was saying the ages of the cast the MEMcho's age said "18?" with a question mark, now you know why

[@ShineiNouzen86]

Please everyone reach 1500 target. I wanna see his dance 😂. Can't wait

[@effortlessfury]

I'm pretty sure the reason Kaburagi listed off Kana and MEM but not Ruby is his preexisting relationship with them. Remember, Aqua ended up having the opportunity to meet him though Kana because of her existing longstanding relationship with him. Then, he asks Aqua to be on the dating show he was producing, which means he's worked with the entire cast on at least this show. So, it's interesting to observe just how many of our characters have direct ties with Kaburagi (Akane is also included here, not just via the show but also the theatre company). Ruby is basically the only one who ISN'T, and you could say she's now beginning to through B Komachi accepting his offer to have them perform at JIF. The truth is, though, that everyone else has professional experience of some kind, Ruby does not. So, she arguably has the most to prove. (I've not read the manga, this is all show-based thoughs)

[@monster-enthusiast]

Idk if it's spoilers since it was in the intro, but there's a shot of the three girls waking out on stage and Kana was in the middle

[@uiriamuu]

Idk if u missed that, but La Lalai is the same theater company that Akane's a part of, it was said in the episode

[@Bell043]

12-20 years old isn't for being an entertainer, but for "IDOL" which is suppose to be a place for young talent and new comer to have a chance for screen time even if they're inexperienced. Memcho's situation is more like, you're in collage but you wanna join high-school sport team.

[@khulouddabbour179]

It so beautiful episode and Kana was beautiful and great her song and singing was amazing. I love her 😍

[@andrewli6606]

It is a little weird than Mem is almost 10 years older than Ruby, but Ruby technically has 28 years of existence if we include her past life.

[@gonoki888]

also you cant just add up the years to make the years of experience either. She died at the age of 14, and Ruby now already passed her past life experience. She's just a normal 16 years old now. (There's also Aqua's line from prev episode that their mind/soul are following their body, as in even Aqua now has her teenager souls/taste as well)

[@MegaPokemon23]

Existence, maybe. But you can't use Ruby's 28 years as an argument coz she spent most of those as a toddler/primary school kid and her brain didn't mature past teenage, ever.

I like how neither Ruby nor Mem were egotistical about how they should be the center and face of the group. Just because her mom was the face of her group, Ruby isn’t thinking that it’s a must for her to be seen the same. She just wants to be an idol and put their group out there.

[@GeraldWalls]

It is a common misconception that there are no laws in Japan preventing 24-year-olds hooking up with 14-year-olds. While it IS true the national "age of consent" is 13, every province except for an island province or two have "corruption of minor" type laws that prevent relations with anyone under 18 or 20, depending on province. There were some exceptions for "serious relationships" (or something like that) which basically be "with parental consent". All of this changed last year when the national age of majority was lowered from 20 to 18 (except for tobacco and alcohol). I know that 18 yo can now enter into contracts without parental countersigning, but I don't know if two 18 yo people can go at it without legal consequences. I'm not caught up on all of that.

[@kallistikaleid]

I do want Ruby to get center, but all of the evidence says otherwise. It does makes sense that Ruby will be happy just being an idol in ANY position. About MEM's age during the show, with 16 being the age of consent, there would be no legal issues, but if she was revealed as 25 while messing with a 16-17 year old, her rep would most likely take a huge hit.

[@FleeTheRoutine]

Kana the best girl

[@SolHati0828]

7:44 everyone really sees Aqua in a bad light since he's smart😭 It's like in real life where analytical people are viewed as robotic and manipulative, when they're also just humans viewing everything into perspective in their heads rather than constantly expressing themselves interpersonally, they just happen to be, at most parts, more sensible people because they think more and talk less.

[@SolHati0828]

What I like about Oshi no ko is that their depiction of mentality is realistic, which in most animes are just cliche personalities that are just a reflection of exaggerated traits(or the stereotypes, in this case being, Aqua comes across to most viewers, as only having the feeling of using people around him which isn't the case, because no. 1 he genuinely cares about Ruby, No. 2 he brought out the best in Kana during their acting shoot, and No. 3 he stopped Akane from commiting suicide when he didn't even know at that time she was very talented and is a potential tool until later episodes)(he literally wouldn't gain anything from saving her at that time, he was just being human)

[@moalboris239]

Yeah that is a thing that is interesting. I can't really talk too much about how high of quality it is but there was a research paper at one point that actually found that the more self control and low emotional tone a person has the more likely the people around them will view them as robotic and unable to be hurt.

The age thing for the idols, at least on the surface, is likely to get more out of their career. Let’s say you start at 12, you’re a grea draw, and you build your fan base up until you retire from the group at 20. If you did well,you might be able to coast on that fame and potential fortune for a good while. Even better, people will constantly want you to make appearances or star or be the face of their projects. This works out well for the company who was responsible for discovering you because they get recognition from it and will continue to draw in more who might have the same level of potential. With success like that, the company may never have to worry about going under. Job security is very reassuring.
