Season overview
In March 2019, Franchouchou failed to sell enough tickets for their concert in the Ekimae Fudosan Stadium and incurred a huge debt. Kotaro was depressed about the failure of the project every day, while the members worked hard to pay off their debts. However, Franchouchou decides to return to sing on stage. Kotaro is made to reconsider by Jofuku about his plan and appears at Franchouchou's concert and confronts the locals to let his idols sing.

Franchouchou, who resumed their activities on a large scale with the return of Kotaro, worked one after another in radio, television, and concerts, and by raising their name, each girl acquired a certain skill. The only problem was the huge debt, which was solved by the luck of Tae. A year after the failure, the girls from Franchouchou and Kotaro decide to take revenge again in the large stadium. Immediately after that, however, a local storm struck Saga, causing an unprecedented catastrophe. Franchouchou, who lost their home, moves to a shelter, where they spend their days performing live shows for refugees. A few days after the disaster, it happened that the makeup fell off, and the audience could see the real appearance of the girls, but Kotaro finally joined the girls who managed to hide their true identity from people. After receiving Kotaro's words, “We will definitely have a live revenge”, they begin to move towards the stadium again.

On March 8, 2020, a large number of spectators came to the Franchouchou concert, which was receiving a lot of attention globally due to the efforts of various people. The venue, which was completely empty a year ago, was packed with spectators, and Franchouchou managed to get revenge live. The concert ended with an excited crowd.

At a later date. Saga Prefecture was destroyed in an explosion by the light emitted by a mysterious flying object that suddenly appeared in the sky.
