Kotaro feels that he cannot connect with Saga.

In the end, he achieves his goal by emerging victorious from the first test, recognizing that the answer for this test is Franchouchou and his relationship with him as a producer and passing this test. The first of three.

Nostalgic Roman Edition
After what Kotaro thought was the last test, he goes to the Ureshino onsen to rest. But when he was about to go, he hears a familiar voice. The mysterious uncle appears in the same onsen where he was, such as the surprise that Kotaro gets scared.

The guy tells him that this is just the beginning. Only the people who passed the test of the 3 wise men of Saga can know "the truth of Saga", where he sends him to Yoshionagari Ruins.

This time at the request of a mysterious guy, he is accompanied by Franchouchou because, according to him, he cannot discover the true Saga by himself. He yells at the girls to stop loafing and start looking for a Saga for their idol activities.

Still confused, Kotaro doesn't understand what kind of "Saga" he should look for this time, and he doesn't know why he sent him to that site. They give us an introduction of the Yoshinogari park is, being a historical place of Saga that comes from the Yayoi period. They were the first to introduce agriculture and blacksmithing to Japan because they were in contact with foreigners 2200 years ago who taught them these techniques.

We have a flashback of Kotaro speaking in the onsen. This tells him that to find the true Saga, he will have to be accompanied to that place. Even without understanding what to look for, he orders the girls to search each site in the park.

Instead of looking for what Kotaro ordered, the girl go play at the playground as if they were ancient natives, the girls left Kotaro alone. At the same time, he only worries about finding the Saga he is looking for.

We have a funny scene of Saki, Ai, and Lily trying to make a fire in a traditional way using the friction of two pieces of wood and a rope while they end up getting tired. Yugiri manages to do it in just a few seconds, leaving the other girls surprised.

Sakura, Junko, and Tae finish making their dumplings while Tae shows her result to Saki what he did, at least she tried. Desperate, Kotaro yells at them again angrily because they are not doing what he asked. He is still searching exhaustively for that Saga. At the same time, Saki, in a mocking tone, says that she already found it establishing her dominance over Saga by doing a T pose on a hill.

The girls enjoy the scenery from the hill and try on the classic Yayoi period clothing while Sakura prevents Tae from eating the decoration food that is on the site, meanwhile Kotaro feels helpless because he has not been able to find that Saga he was looking for so he feels depressed. Sakura notices her attitude and feels strange.

Climbing a tower to think, Kotaro feels that she could not pass this last test while Sakura feels that she is about to do something random like jump from that tower, so worried she runs to prevent Kotaro from doing what she thinks he will do, but accidentally He runs into a raccoon knocking Kotaro out of the tower and causing them both to fall.

With the clumsiness of Sakura, Kotaro and they were about to fall from the tower, Sakura could barely hold onto one arm and hold Kotaro with the other. Kotaro tells him to drop it because or if it is not revealed that they are zombies, the girls stay close until they see what is happening, Sakura falls breaking her arm but luckily Tae manages to save them by taking a huge jump.

When Sakura falls, she tells her concern about Kotaro's attitude, emphasizing that they will always be with him, Kotaro finally realizes that what he was really looking for was for Franchouchou and him to complement each other on their way to save Saga.

At last reunited and with a clearer mind, Kotaro decides to listen to the girls and their experiences in Yoshinogari. Each one tells how they had fun in the park and each one of the activities they did, Sakura tells a small summary of the series from the death metal concert to the present, saying that this is her Saga.

There is only Kotaro left to say what he felt in the park. So far, Kotaro has interacted with saga sages and mystery types and has enjoyed seafood, agricultural products and beautiful seascapes. He realizes that the Saga he is looking for is actually interaction with people and loving them proudly.

After the park event Yoshinogari Kotaro who touched the truth of the saga and identified the saga that he really loved. Now the days of battle as a talented producer have begun again.

Imari, Ureshino, Yoshinogari... The knowledge that he acquired in the famous places of the saga was wonderful, but he is confused because he has gained too much in this short period of time

He wonders who the mysterious uncle is who appears from time to time and helps him with the lyrics of his songs, so for inspiration he looks for something to eat and speak well of food. Meanwhile the girls get the smell of their room and also look for something to eat for themselves. While Kotaro was bathing, Saki brought a cassette stove, a frying pan, a wooden spatula, a plate, rice, eggs, takana (I don't know what this is xd), a gang, salt and pepper and sesame oil to the bedroom of the Franchouchou member to eat themselves, but Tae makes the rice too spicy and ends up burning. Now Kotaro realizes that his food has been stolen.

Then he goes back to the bar where he was drinking but accidentally enters Yugiri's bar surprising her, Yugiri leaves his bar to talk to him and he only hears about the one who was completely wrong, probably the scene in front of the sea has something to do here.

Again with Sakura, she keeps trying to talk to him and stop him from drinking but her attempts are useless because Kotaro says that "I don't have what it takes" making a parallel to Sakura in episode 11, this makes Sakura sad who goes to do things on their own.

Therefore, he decides to break the news to the girls, whom he attacks with a water pistol.

They are upset by the arrival of Iron Frill and their participation in their concert, they seem to doubt their success but Ai reassures them that they can do it.

However, Kotaro also announces that Ai will not participate in this concert, because she was the former leader of Iron Frill, a decision that the other girls dispute. Kotaro doesn't back down from his decision and has already planned solo jobs for Ai the day after this discussion.

He therefore helps Ai during the various idol jobs and categorically rejects all other non-Saga prefectural jobs. Relations between him and Ai are strained, she doesn't understand why he removed her from the group at such an important moment in her career. Kotaro simply replies that Junko and the other girls can do very well without her and will make the concert at the Saga Arena a success. While the girls prepare and participate in this concert, Ai will have to pay EFS's debt with her odd jobs. Therefore, the two begin to argue severely.

Episode 16
When Kotaro witnesses Junko Konno's altercation with a policeman, he comes to her afterward and comforts her in his own unique way — by airblasting her with his guitar and screaming out a motivational speach at her. He convinces her that if she wants to have Ai's loyalty, to stay, that she can't keep devaluing herself, that she must be assertive and take Ai back, to "smash through" any challenge facing her. He then lends her his favorite guitar so she can do just that.



The next day, Kotaro prepares Franchouchou's makeup for them and sends them off, watching the show with Ai Mizuno. She asks him if he was ever really worried about her identity at all, but he simply stays silent as they begin to perform — and excel, with Kotaro urging them on. At the apex of Junko's song, she smashes Kotaro's guitar, much to Kotaro's horror.

He himself later joins the talent show, appearing nervous on stage before beginning his "act" to impersonate a mudskipper in mating season. Naturally, the judges disqualify him almost immediately.

Episode 18
Kotaro has another meeting with Franchouchou, appreciating Ai, Saki, and Sakura's desire to keep rising, so he suggests they get down to a strategy meeting: except they can't do that, because they're still 20 million yen in debt, which he lambasts the zombies for. Saki insists that the debt is his fault anyway, but he pretends not to hear, and sends them all out to make some money — including Tae Yamada, despite protest. Miraculously, Tae manages to accidentally win 20 million yen at a boat race, which Kotaro accepts to pay off the debt. However, Saki's comment that Tae is far more useful than "shades" does bother him slightly.

Episode 19
At the public showers (wearing his shades even here), Kotaro accidentally drops the soap even as Maimai Yuzuriha accidentally walks into the men's showers, slips on it, and knocks her head on the floor, knocking her out. Seeing this, Kotaro presumes she died, and takes her body back to the Mansion. There, he presents Maimai's "corpse" as Franchouchou's newest member. Everyone questions this, refusing to clap when Kotaro asks them to, so he wonders why they'd care about having another dead member in their group (given that they're zombies). Saki insists that they do care, but he assures them that the zombification process is well underway. When asked where he found her, he insists that he was "guided" to her, but the continued questioning causes him to break down and panic, hysterically insisting that he didn't kill her. Suddenly, Ai, Junko, and Sakura start screaming, Kotaro starts screaming in response, then dodges out of the way when Maimai stands up and nearly stumbles into him.



Afterward, in the mansion proper, Kotaro is grilled by Ai and Junko over not confirming that Maimai was dead, and that in fact this is basically just a kidnapping. Maimai eventually surmises that Franchouchou are all zombies, driving Kotaro into a panic. After mastering himself to a degree, he begs her not to tell anyone, and orders the other zombies to join in. Maimai agrees, as long as she can join Franchouchou, so Kotaro puts his hands over his head and smiles comically to indicate his acceptance. Later, when Maimai wants to perform at her local high school, he agrees using the same gesture, much to Saki's aggravation. When she then leaves the group itself, he apologizes for kidnapping her, but she forgives him due to the experience it allowed her to gain. She promises to keep Franchouchou's secret safe, so Kotaro thanks her and leaves.

Episode 21
Near the end of the episode, Kotaro bursts into a staging room and hurries the zombies along to their performance.

EFS disaster
Prior to the disastrous EFS performance, Kotaro decided, after a successful show and rising album sales, to try at a new challenge: the Ekimae Fudosan Stadium, where Ai died. He insists that because they're all former stars (except Sakura) that they can succeed, and proceeds with the show without even pre-selling any tickets, instead only allowing them to be purchased the day of. This naturally is a disaster, and drives Kotaro to drink for several weeks straight, even noting one night that they now have 20 million yen in debt.

He presents his disheveled self to Franchouchou and apologizes for his failure at EFS the previous year, and insists that they'll have their revenge concert there this year, on the anniversary of their failure. This time, he has advertisement campaigns to make sure it's a success, and their sales indicates a more promising draw — which will allow pre-sold tickets this time.

Kotaro is later confronted at the stadium itself by Ookoba, with evidence that Franchouchou are zombies, but Kotaro is supremely unconcerned, saying that Franchouchou is unstoppable, and will perform at EFS next month. Afterward, he goes for drinks with Jofuku, who is surprised no one discovered their scheme sooner. Kotaro and Jofuku discuss Saga, and Jofuku's prophecy that Saga will be stricken from memory in some form of cataclysm, but Kotaro seeks to prevent it by making Saga too famous to forget.

Franchouchou performs his concert with success while the public asks for a BIS, Kotaro talks with the girls about the success of this same and how he is proud of what the group has grown in a year, so much that he falls to the ground to cry and shout at them that his stupid zombies have become arrogant, given that they are still far from saving Saga. As the girls walk away, Kotaro wipes away the blood he had left behind as he cried and coughed on the floor.
