Episode 24 - Everyone's Request

Everyone's Request (みんなのリクエスト) is the twenty fourth episode of the Aikatsu Planet! TV series. It will air on June 20th, 2021.

Summary
For its final episode, "Hana's Talk Channel" is full of idols! First performances, that one meaningful song, passionate battles... everyone looks back on their Aikatsu! through the stages they've chosen as their favorites! And then a tearful conclusion... or so we thought?!

Plot
Hana is recording the last episode of her talk show and has invited a slew of idols as guests. She asks them about their most memorable moments doing Aikatsu, after which they compete with Hana over the chance to request a performance of theirs to be played. The minigames are determined from choosing panels with letters on them at random.

Ruli and Beat are up first, and they reminisce about Ruli creating the scenario for Meruli's web drama. Ruli then competes against Hana in a Russian roulette style game in which they must avoid eating a spicy macaron. Ruli wins, and she and Beat request their performance of "Inner Voice" that decided the last participant in the Planet Princess Grand Prix.

The show then moves on to Rose, who tells of a village tradition she learned of while overseas. She recounts how during blizzards, the villagers would come together to sing and dance to bring out the sun, which she likens to Aikatsu. Rose then selects a lucky panel and requests her performance of "Fantastic Imagination" with Hana at the Grand Prix finals.

Lovely Marron appear as the next guests through a video call, as they are camping out in the Dressia forest for training. When a storm begins to roll in, Hana hurriedly prompts them to select their panel. The trio then engage in a three-way staring contest, with their funny faces censored from the audience. Hana admits her defeat in turn.

Q-pit requests her performance of "See You See You See You See You See You Tomorrow with Beat after the Planet Marathon. Ann requests her performance of "Lady・Lady・Lady" with Shiori in which she wore Sweet Whole Cake for the first time. Just as Hana is about to introduce the next guest, Sala appears through video call from the Dressia forest as well.

Sala apologizes for not making it there on time for the recording, having gotten lost in the forest while brainstorming new dress ideas. They decide to do the segment virtually, with Sala winning against Hana in a word chain game. Sala requests her performance of "Petit Price Everyday" with Ann, which marked her comeback as an idol.

Hana's last guest is Shiori, who naturally chooses her most memorable moment as their first serious fight during the Top Ten Final Battle. For their minigame, Hana quizzes Shiori on what she considers her favorite stage Shiori has done. Shiori correctly deduces it to be the same exact performance of "Soulmate", which she in turn chooses as her request.

Hana laments over not being able to request a song of her own. Shiori then asks her what the panels everyone chose spell out if put together. Hana realizes they've spelt out "Hana's victory", and Shiori presents her with a bouquet of roses as everyone gathers at the studio. Hana's personal request is their group performance of "Bloomy＊Smile" for her award stage.

Hana thanks the others for coming, but shocks them when she announces that while the show is ending, she will be starting another program titled "Hana's Talk More Channel".
