Episdoe 5 Recap. Ouri requests Kinoshita to clean his house only to ask if she is dating Tamon. When she denies it, he tells her to go home, but before she can leave, he passes out from fever. Kinoshita takes care of him. Tamon struggles with his feelings toward Kinoshita. When she offers her support to Ouri, he gets sad. Both Tamon and Ouri work hard to become center only to both epically fail.

EPISODE 6: Tamon’s B-Side

Kinoshita reflects on Tamon’s performance and how it got him more fans. She’s proud of him for grasping the song in the end.

Her dog, Pochi, wants to go for a walk. On the walk, Pochi runs to Tamon’s place. There, Tamon is standing at the edge of the railing on the top floor of his apartment building. In a panic, Kinoshita runs up the stairs and suplexes Tamon away from the rail.

In a complete panic attack, Gloomyhara is spouting his usual negative nonsense. He states he wants to come back as a hamster to which Kinoshita tells him even hamsters have it hard.

Kinoshita makes him tea to calm him down. Gloomyhara expresses he wasn’t able to get center and was upset. Kinoshita, in all her positive glory, tells Gloomyhara that his performance was moving. She mentions that he now has more fans and they are happy he leveled up. He quickly asks how she feels. He looks to the side and mentions Ouri.

He mumbles that he thought she became Ouri’s fan. It is obvious he is scared of losing her support. She tells him to spit out what he’s thinking and he immediately gets up and grabs her wrist and tells her not to go to Ouri. Gloomyhara then emotionally dumps on Kinoshita. He tells her he doesn’t understand his feelings, but when he thinks about her with Ouri, he loses his will to live. And then, it comes out.

Kinoshita is weirded out by his behavior, so she politely tries to excuse herself from the situation. As she turns around, Gloomyhara hugs her and tells her to always be his fan because otherwise he would die. She tells him not to devalue his life so easily. He holds her tighter and tells her again that he couldn’t imagine life if she changes oshis. Kinoshita knows something is going on and she realizes he has more than two sides. They’re is Gloomyhara, Hottiehara, and now Tamon’s B-Side.

Kinoshita faints and Gloomyhara is doing his best to rouse her. Meanwhile, the new center of F/ACE, Keita, opens the door to the roof and sees them together.

The next day, F/ACE is doing a morning show. They are all playing their respective roles perfectly. After their recording, Keito is scrolling through social media and he shows his true nature.

Keito asks Ouri about Kinoshita. Ouri gets defensive and tells Keito that he plans on making her fall for him.

Kinoshita arrives at Tamon’s place. He is once again covered in smoot from trying to cook. She cleans him up. She asks him why he was covered in smoot. He was trying to bake a cake for Kinoshita. She freaks out that she can’t accept the cake. Gloomyhara doesn’t take it so well.

Feeling bad, she tells him she will accept it. He immediately gets giddy. He continues to make the cake for her, but he is totally hopeless. As he is whisking the batter, Kinoshita says baking cakes is fun. Gloomyhara mentions that his fans always makes him cakes. He can’t eat them, but they’re special to him. Kinoshita, overcome with joy, tells him that his fans pour all their love into it. As if realizing he could do the same, he starts whisking faster and says he will put all his feelings into the cake. He hopes that Kinoshita will enjoy his cake. Then he hopes that Kinoshita will continue coming over forever. He hopes that Kinoshita never hates him. But then, things get dark. He hopes she never betrays him, or cheats on him.

Kinoshita tells Gloomyhara that she will freeze it, but he insists that she eats it. He tells her he even bought cola to go along with it. She declines saying she is working and he immediately gets sad. When she tries to walk away, he brings out Hottiehara and tells her to eat it.

Kinoshita is having mixed feelings. She’s super confused about what’s going on with Tamon.

After her shift, she decides to stay and have a piece of cake and cola which makes Tamon happy. She realizes that Tamon purposely flipped his switch on her.

She realizes that he has the power to get what he wants because that is the character he plays. Kinoshita being the sweet girl that she is knows how dangerous that could be. She realizes that being overprotective isn’t always love.

She quickly decides to head home, but while she is packing up the rest of the cake, Tamon notices frosting on her face.

Licking her face and his lips, he smiles at her. The fanservice is just too extreme for her. He apologizes, but then says he thought should would mind. After all, she thinks he’s hot.

THOUGHTS

Unpopular opinion.

I am HERE for the dark, possessive, and a bit off of his rocker Tamon. I know that his behavior sends up a ton of red flags, but call me crazy. I’m all about it. Kinoshita is just too pure, which is why I love her. She cares so much about his other fans. I, on the other hand, would NOT care about the other fans LOL.

I can understand why he feels the way he does. After all, he went to Tokyo to fulfill his dream, but that dream came with a heavy cost. Mostly, it cost him his youth which is the direct reason he can’t sort out his feelings in a healthy way.

I am hoping Kinoshita can teach him healthy habits and to be able to reconcile how he feels.
