Umi is suddenly the most nervous, paranoid person in the group now... used to be Hanayo that was the nervous one. After they get to America, they have to split up into 3s and ride a cab to the hotel... Umi is scared because she only has a note and no way of communicating... and it turns out Honoka misspelled the name of the Hotel and Umi's group got dropped off at the wrong place.. But Rin remembered the name of the hotel and managed to get them there somehow.
The group spends a whole day wandering the city looking for where they'd prefer to hold their live performance... This whole event lets them forget about the fact that they have to graduate/split apart soon... Eventually Hanayo bursts out into tears because all the places they've eaten at so far didn't have Japanese white rice.. so they went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner...
Then when they get on the subway to head back to the hotel, Honoka falls behind and then accidentally gets on the wrong train. She gets off at a random station and realizes she's lost... then wanders around randomly until she finds another Japanese girl singing in a solo street performance. This girl used to be in a Japanese idol group just like her... she talks to Honoka and gives her some tips about finding out what to do after the group splits up...
When they get back to Japan (not even half way through the movie), they're surprised to find out they are now super famous and they're overseas live performance is on a bunch of posters and video displays... They are now at the same level as A-RISE... They aren't used to getting so much attention from random strangers, and Umi seems to be freaked out by it.
Also Honoka's family business got increased sales because of her popularity, so she tells her sister she's gonna go and ask for allowance money.
When they return to school, all their classmates constantly bug them asking for when their next concert is... they don't know that they plan to break up after they graduate.. Maki theorizes that the fans don't even really care whether they are "school" idols or not... Nozomi suggests they have to hold a concert and use that opportunity to tell everyone that they are breaking up... then she eyes Maki when talking about what song they'll use... earlier
