Welcome to the group Kakizaki-san 🎉🎉

I'm digging the new OP ^^

ED is bopping good as well ^^

those who guessed asakura as the new member has hit the jackpot!

Stonks 📈

Nicolai becoming a member is the best thing that could have happened. now we can enjoy his character and all. also the blonde ikeoji might be eternal boy's savior, holy heck

NIKOLAI-SAN IS MY BIAS!!

I was sort of joking with my last comment about Asakura but okay hi new member 😂 Maybe I forgot because it's been so long since we've seen him or maybe he just hasn't spoken enough until now but I didn't realize he spoke in such a heavy accent lol.

I love the way they all have their own assigned colors now, both on their stage outfits and in the new song mv, which is actually pretty dang good haha. Road to Budoukan, let's go!

I don't have anything with the child Ren, but I knew he couldn't have been the new member bcs the whole idea between the formation of Eternal Boys is to give "older men" the possibility to have a second shot at life and Ren is still in the primes of his career, so it wouldn't have been fair for him to join.

I am happy however that it was Nikolai who joined! Hard working, kind, dependable and he has decent Japanese skills for a foreigner! I was thinking they will introduce an entirely new character at first, but I am still happy with this development! :)

Still miss Kakizaki as the member though. Sad, but somehow realistic! He is the type of man as I mentioned in my comment from the previous episode as "someone who already did good in life" and he does not need a do-over as much as the others. Not to mention he is kind and loves nurturing others, which makes self-nurturing almost pointless for someone semi-perfect like him. A production role was still good to keep him around for us, so I guess I can live with that! Still sad though! :'(

Looking forward to see how things work out with them

it's like his old job as manager of the club

BRO, The ed and op were super lame but these new ones yam i'm so content

Just realised that this development explains why the first OP for this anime was a song sung by Gentleman and not Eternal Boys. Not only does it obviously foreshadow the Eternal Boys members just starting out (and hinting Gentleman's acknowledgement for their new 'juniors' in that one episode lol), but ironically also a hint that their initial line-up with Kakizaki was not the permanent line-up for the group.

Though I am disappointed that Kakizaki decided to discontinue being a member, it is cool to see an idol anime tackling a bit about members parting ways and the addition of new member(s ) (like I don't think I watch enough idol anime so seeing this scenario in one is so new to me). Also it's so funny that Kakizaki is arguably still 'not that far' from their lives because he decided to be their flashy Kakizaki-P lol XD Ah, yes, every idol group needs a 'producer-san' XD

Someone explain to me why the new ending isn't on Spotify? It's such a good song too.

It is now but since they release the episodes early on a streaming service they didn't want to spoil it for people who watch it on broadcast tv. They released it when it aired on it.

but the 'visual' left....

i'm curious why the opening now and ending of previous always feature the stolove group more than the eternal boys? i'm confused.

Don't tell me this is the OP song

NICE. NICE NICE NICE NICE NICE.

Has good muscle also can cook is it asakura san even more stand out than kakizaki san? His perform outfit even including that mc gloves in it
