Eriko Odawara ('Odaeri'), the idol famous for performing the Nekonyan Dance live on television every morning, is tiring of the role and bails out of a scheduled performance at the daycaare in Choco's neighborhood. A chance encounter with Makoto (who is strongly implied to be the famous gravure idol Arisa Otokami - their names are acronyms) convinces Eriko of the true importance of her job. Odaeri then visits Choco's apartment where she gives a private performance of the Nekonyan Dance.
