The iDOLM@STER – Episode 7 – Yayoi’s Cheerful Family and Iori’s Life Lesson

August 19, 2011 by Chikorita157 3 Comments
Yayoi is so cheerful and caring.

Compared to the other girls, Yayoi is not so fortunate since she isn’t well off and her parents have to work most of the time in order to support all six children. Out of curiosity, Iori and Hibiki tags along to experience how Yayoi shop for food and meet her siblings.

Hibiki is having a lot of fun, even if it's embarrassing.

From the start, Yayoi is a cheerful girl despite being underprivileged. When she shows Iori and Hibiki her siblings after they went shopping, Yayoi reminded me of Nako from Hanasaku Iroha since she also does the same with her siblings while at home. Even though both of these girls are two years apart, they are the oldest siblings, cheerful and both of them decided to work for their own reasons.  While Yayoi is more outgoing than Nako, she is very mature at such a young age since she does all the food shopping, chores and most importantly, she is good at cooking.  Unfortunately, she doesn’t let the eldest boy, Chosuke to help out. This eventually causes him to lash out on her after being asked to apologize for hitting his younger brother. As a result, he ran away and hid somewhere. Although I feel that he is wrong for doing this, Yayoi should have realized this so she can give him a chance to support her. Luckily for her, Iori knows where he is hiding and wants to comfort him.

Despite being wealthy, she was very sympathetic towards Chosuke.

For a girl like Iori, I thought she would be a very spoiled girl since she came from a wealthy family. However, this wasn’t the case since she was very appreciative of the work Yayoi does for her siblings. Later, she also called the Producer to help them look for Chosuke even though she finally figures out where he was hiding. Iori felt the same way about him since she also fights with her brothers for making fun of her. After sharing her experiences, she encouraged him to become brave and tell the truth to his older sister. In a way, her visit to Yayoi was a special experience for this very reason and has made her a more redeeming character.

While Iori took most of the spotlight from Yayoi, the episode was simply endearing. It was interesting to see how Yayoi’s family was with some really fun moments.  While there is a lack of Azusa in this episode, she finally gets the spotlight when some guys kidnap her and Makoto have to save her.  This is very ironic since Makoto wants to be more feminine.

    Wow! This was a great episode, nice to see some more of Yayoi! I think she is probably the least popular character out of all the others so seeing her home life was great. Yeah she is very Nako like having to take care of her family while her parents deal with the work.

    Lori! You are my least favorite but really great to see her have some progress not much but good enough for me to kind of like her some what. Things are going good for this series so far, I guess there could be some drama thrown in but not to much.

      I’m pretty sure Yayoi is popular since she is cute… But probably the least favorite is whatherface who is scared of men.

      Iori’s is rather unpopular since she is another RieKugi tsundere, but considerably less tsuntsun compared to other roles. At least her experiences and the lack of spoil personality help to redeem herself.

      (edit: stupid iPhone autocorrect)

    I also got the similar feeling I was watching Nako from Yayoi. Although, Iori was surprisingly considerate during this epsiode than she would usually be, lol.
