Summary[]
At Ichigo-Pro, with no work on their hands, Ruby and Kana debate about what to do. Kana tells Ruby to study since idol work does not earn a living's wage. However Ruby wants to focus on something else such as agreeing on the group's name, which Kana is reluctant to do because she is having hard time coming to terms with that fact. In comes Miyako and she suggests that they make a name for themselves by becoming youtubers. Kana pours cold water on the idea as she does not believe they can even break 10,000 subscribers at their current circumstances.
Miyako is unconcerned and introduces Pieyon into the room, a masked strength-training YouTuber and the agency's top earner. Kana is doubtful about the idea but takes back her words upon hearing how much he earns. Pieyon and the girls talk about ideas to grow their subscriber base but the quickest way is to collaborate with a famous YouTuber such as himself.
And so with the Pieyon's masks donned on their head the girls film themselves participating in his strength-training dance video on Pieyon's channel. They had planned to make a prank video. but the idea is shut down after hearing how the pranks will be staged as Ruby wants their first job to be genuine. After completing the exercise for an hour, Pieyon is impressed by their dedication to the bit and formally introduces the girls for the video. Just as he asked for their group name, Kana lets Ruby decide, and she happily shouts out B-Komachi.
