Ep 9. Weaving Dreams

It's time for the annual Starlight Festival, and the boys of ST☆RISH are determined to put on the best performance yet. However, the pressure seems to be taking its toll on some of the members, particularly Tokiya and Otoya. In an attempt to cheer them up, Haruka suggests they take a break and visit a traditional Japanese weaving shop.

As they arrive at the shop, the group is greeted by the shop owner, a friendly elderly woman named Yuko. Yuko shows them around the shop and explains the process of weaving, including the importance of the yarn used. She then invites them to try their hand at weaving their own scarves.

At first, the boys struggle with the weaving process, but they soon start to get the hang of it. As they work on their scarves, they begin to relax and enjoy themselves. Tokiya and Otoya, in particular, seem to be enjoying themselves and even start to joke around with one another.

As they near completion of their scarves, Yuko tells the boys another important aspect of weaving - the story behind the fabric. She tells them that everything, from the type of yarn to the pattern of the fabric, holds a story. She then asks each of the boys to think of a story they would like to weave into their scarves.

Tokiya weaves a story about a knight and a princess, while Otoya tells a tale of a pirate captain and his adventures at sea. Syo weaves a story about his love for music, while Ren tells a story of a warrior and his journey to defeat evil.

After they finish their scarves, the group heads back to the dorms, with their new scarves proudly displayed. As the Starlight Festival approaches, the boys decide to incorporate their scarves into their performance, weaving their own stories into their songs.

The day of the festival arrives, and ST☆RISH takes the stage. As they perform, their scarves billow behind them, each one telling a unique story. The audience is captivated by their performance, and the boys feel proud to have had the opportunity to weave their dreams into their music.

As the festival comes to a close, the boys thank Yuko for her hospitality and the meaningful lesson she taught them. They realize that weaving a story is not only important in fabric, but also in their music. They vow to continue to weave their own stories into their performances and to always remember the importance of their dreams.
