It's the day of the 765 Production thank-you concert, but complications arise for Ritsuko and Ryugu Komachi when a typhoon hits the city. All transit trains are stopped, forcing Ritsuko and the others to drive to the concert, only to get into a traffic jam. With the audience already having arrived at the concert, the Producer issues a change of plans to the backstage crew and the idols to have them perform first to buy enough time for Ryugu Komachi to arrive. The concert goes well until the audience starts to feel bored and wonders where Ryugu Komachi are. Backstage, Hibiki, Makoto, Mami, Yukiho and Yayoi start to panic but Haruka calms them and tells them to pump up the audience. However, a problem arises when the Producer learns that they have mistakenly ordered for Miki to perform two consecutive songs, both requiring intensive dance performances. Despite how strenuous it will be doing two songs without rest, Miki is determined to do it. The exhausted Miki succeeds in performing both songs amazingly, and the Producer, Chihaya and Haruka praise her. With one last song, the song they have been practicing, the idols give it their all, exciting the crowd and pumping them up for Ryugu Komachi, who have finally arrive at the concert. When she show ends, Ritsuko, Ami, Azusa and Iori go backstage to see the others, only to find them sleeping from exhaustion and being watched over the Producer, President Takagi and Kotori. Despite this, they congratulate their friends on a great job.
