Just watched this week's ep. They did really cut Rika's scene.
That's true. I'm not really surprised they cut Rika out. They also skipped Misaki (despite the fact she put quite a show last time), Sae, An and one of the Asagaya sisters

Well, at least we got to see Masami getting some spotlight. It wasn't a very good episode for Kirara, though. Not only she didn't get any food for her performance but they also punished her after Riku and Yuki accused her for skipping practice sessions twice in a row despite being the leader. Nanami tried to defend her saying she was sick. Kirara added that she didn't have her practice gear available at the moment but Miku pointed that those excuses were lame. In the end, Kirara looked really pissed. I felt bad for her but yes, she must take her job seriously.
Back to the First Generation, today is Rio's Birthday! I always considered her as one of the most beautiful Muscats. Happy Birthday to our Miracle Gal
