Junko Konno/Relationships

Sakura Minamoto (Zombie #1)
Along with Ai, she refuses to join Franchouchou's guerilla show in Episode 3. Seeing Sakura's determination inspires them to the point that when Sakura messes up their lines, they band together to save what little they can of acting. In episode 4 she participated with Saki to go to the hot springs but seeing the owner they hide under the water, but Sakura makes them discover them. Junko is apparently strong enough to grab a headless Sakura by the legs and sprint, keeping up with Saki, without any sign of tension.

Share moments with her, such as when she told her about her cause of death and how in her time everything was very different from what is seen today. This thought far from our time is the reason for Junko to move away from Franchouchou for several weeks before Saga Rock. Although she ultimately doesn't catch anything, she seems to have a solid knowledge of fishing, putting together a fishing pole and looking for suitable bait on her own. At the same time, she gives Sakura a surprisingly philosophical lecture that would not be expected from a girl who has spent much of the series in an abysmal spirit but Sakura does not seem to listen to her advice until they arrive at the mansion when she finally understands what she said. However, a truck causes her to lose her memories, forgetting Junko's advice and making her cry when she goes to the attic to comfort her.

Initially, she addresses her as "Minamoto-san". In episode 10, she has progressed from her as she calls her "Sakura-san" showing that they are now closer.

Sakura and Junko go together when they are taken to a temple and Junko's reaction when she hears about commitment and relationships leaves her flushed and nervous as if she had never discussed that topic with anyone before. Whenever she feels depressed, she will pick up a guitar and sing to herself. When Sakura listens to her, she reveals that she sings it to reassure herself. The song itself was one of her hit singles when she was alive. But the tranquility does not last long because Shiori declares war on Franchouchou in the Saga Arena, which leaves Junko very nervous, and on her way, Sakura tries to console Junko that Franchouchou have themselves and that they will manage to overcome Iron Frill.

Saki Nikaido (Zombie #2)
She was an accomplice in going to the hot springs with Sakura and Saki, although in the end they are discovered and generate a great fuss, it seems that there are no problems for that incident within the group and they all had a great time. Junko looks jealous when Ai and Saki have a private conversation on the balcony of the mansion, but this is only the effect of the camera and her zombie state that makes her look scarier.

Ai Mizuno (Zombie #3)
Junko was a bit indifferent to Franchouchou at first, but this comes into play, especially with her relationship with Ai. The reality of being hunted and rejected by the living for being a zombie leaves Junko deeply discouraged to the point where she and Ai barely have the will to act. Like Ai, she also begins to recover after covering for Sakura when the latter changed some lyrics from a guerilla performance and decided that she wanted to try singing in a group.

She and Ai get into a heated discussion about their differences in standards for idols due to the time difference between the two. After contemplating it on her own, Junko begins to think that there is no place for her as an 80s idol today and considers leaving Franchouchou forever. It is not until the next episode that Junko, having worked with her own role, comes to Ai's rescue when during her performance, the latter experiences an episode of trauma from a thunderstorm. In Revenge, the two have become incredibly close and can act in near-perfect unison with each other. Their relationship with one another has since been noticeably more intimate relative to those of—and with—the other members of Franchouchou.

Junko has a bad habit of eavesdropping on conversations from behind a corner, e.g., once when Saki and Sakura plan to sneak out to some hot springs, and again when Saki and Ai are chatting privately on the balcony of the mansion. When it appears that Ai plans to leave her and Franchouchou to meet with Iron Frill, Junko tries to pressure the former for an honest answer and gets an answer that only reaffirms her fears. She then runs to a nearby beach and cries with all her heart. Junko is incredibly distressed at the prospect of Ai leaving Franchouchou, to the point of breaking down in tears. She loses her concentration and commitment to the full group, instead wallowing in her perceived loss of Ai. Junko is averse to proactivity, and can only move forward when Kotaro convinces her to go after Ai.

Realizing that she needs to both stop relying on Ai and taking Ai for granted, Junko redoubles her duties to coordinate the opening act. Before long, she arranges and choreographs a powerful metal performance, with herself as lead singer and guitarist, and can get Ai to join Franchouchou on stage for the last song. She confronts Shiori while the latter makes one last attempt to get Ai to leave Franchouchou.

Yugiri (Zombie #5)
When she saw Yugiri in her Oiran outfit, she blushed in amazement at seeing someone so elegant. In addition, both share the same age of death and are the most mature of the group, trying to be calm and objective.

Lily Hoshikawa (Zombie #6)
In episode 8, she highlights how cute she is when she discovers her real name. In the end, accepting that things in the modern world have changed a lot and that she must get used to this new era to continue being an idol.

Tae Yamada (Zombie #0)
Tae intimidates her deeply. If Junko is present but has no lines to speak in a certain scene, Tae is likely chasing her or cowering because of something Tae is doing. The irony is that Junko is probably such a specific target because she always reacts with a lot of fear, which triggers Tae's predatory instinct.

This relationship makes more sense when we look at Tae's prequel manga, where it is revealed that Tae was a big fan of Junko and also wanted to be an idol like her.

Kotaro Tatsumi
At first, she had a negative perspective on Franchouchou's activities, and when Kotaro stated that the next day she would perform a live guerilla in episode 3, she said, "I work alone", In addition to mentioning anxiety about group activities, "I've never done it", "Idols can't do anything all night", "(Half-practice) we shouldn't show ourselves like this". Junko does not hate the idea of ​​acting in a group, but she is not sure that she can work well in one, since she had always acted alone, compounding her reluctance to cooperate with Kotaro's plan.

She leaves Franchouchou in Episode 6 after both Kotaro and Ai scolded her for refusing to participate in the photo shoot, feeling that the idols' expectations have changed too much for her to feel comfortable since she died. She spends a good part of Episode 7 still depressed until Kotaro gives her a pep talk. To help her come out of her depression, Kotaro tells Junko that she can still represent her time and not force herself to conform to the hyper-social lifestyle of modern idols. After Kotaro breaks down a door on its hinges to give her an encouraging talk, he nonchalantly asks Junko to fix the door after him. Surprisingly, she just grabs some power tools and competently repairs the door. Episode 12 reveals that she reinforced it as an added measure. When she's in a rush on how to lead Franchouchou into an upcoming performance with Iron Frill, Kotaro gives her a motivational talk about outdoing herself and reclaiming what is Franchouchou's to her, leaving her totally determined and changed for the Saga Arena concert and what the group should do. After the group's success, she takes on Kotaro's expression "Smash it Junko!" in the sense of literally crushing his guitar, What she does at the end of her metal concert
