Episode 11 Story

During a regular lunch break, Uta (voiced by Misato Matsuoka) and her friends hear a Cure Idol song being broadcast over the school PA system. It turns out that Mio Niino from the broadcasting club read out a request email submitted by Kokoro (voiced by Natsumi Takamori).

As Uta envies Kokoro for having her message aired, the group learns that the next radio theme will be: “What is your dream?” This simple question sparks a wave of introspection among the trio.

Nana (voiced by Minami Takahashi) confidently shares her dream of becoming a pianist, while Kokoro aspires to be a dancer. However, Uta struggles to articulate her own dream. When Nana suggests "working at Café Glitter," Uta initially accepts the idea.

Yet, a heartfelt conversation with her mother, Oto, brings back uncertainty. Her mother tells her gently, "If you ever find something you truly love, cherish it." These words deepen Uta's inner conflict, causing her to question what she really wants.

The following day, sensing Uta's unease, Nana and Kokoro initiate a plan: “Let’s help Uta find her dream!” They enthusiastically pitch various possible futures—pastry chef, nurse, baker, childcare worker...

Despite all the suggestions, the perfect dream for Uta remains elusive. Will she be able to uncover what truly matters to her?
