Aikatsu Stars 65
Quite obviously this is the wings episode for Rola, so we get to see a lot of Rola.
I like her muse philosophy of how being free with her brand Spice Chord. She is more of similar to Mahiru who also has to inherit a brand from someone else. Essentially, others like Yume, Elza, Kirara can just imbue their whole personality into their brand, but Rola and Mahiru can only slowly put their touches on the brand. This is likely not an easy task, as in this case, Rei and others might question them on their decisions on changing the philosophy of the brand itself, like making Spice Chord slightly cuter. Rola convinces people using her conviction “Going my Way” and probably Rola herself as an idol compatible with the changed brand.
I am also curious with how the dress design work between different brands. For Berry Parfait and FuwaFuwa Dream, the idol took care of the design and has the staff helping them to bring the design into reality, but for cases like Rola and Lily, they actually sew up the whole dress themselves. Even though she sew up her dress, doesn’t that need to be gone through an official approval process from the brand staff for it to be an official coord?
Also see how Rola is being overprotective of Yume again. Her stern stare “Don’t touch my YUME!!!!” awwww. Yume x Rola ship is still rolling strong.
I have been lazy in posting these review posts lately (See how my reviews getting posted later and later).

Nothing really to comment about this episode. End of Mimiko’s attempt to interfere with their Pripara activities and continuation of Lala, Yui together being forceful in persuasion activities.
