Kana, who chose to become a more adaptable actor to survive in the entertainment industry, may struggle as Aqua encourages her to move beyond her usual supportive style.

Oishi no Ko Season 2 Episode 7 Recap
Oshi no Ko Season 2 Episode 7, titled Sun, continues the Tokyo Blade stage play, beginning with Blade (Himekawa) and Tsurugi (Kana) confronting Monme (Sakuya) after their victory over Kizami (Melt).
There is a brief technical glitch during Sakuya’s dialogue, but Kana swiftly ad-libs, earning Sakuya’s respect for her quick thinking. The characters of Aqua and Akane are then introduced in the play. Akane’s performance, particularly in a scene revised in the script, is highly praised by Abiko for her portrayal of emotional depth.
The next section features a confrontation between the Shinjuku and Shibuya factions, with Aqua facing Himekawa and Kana confronting Akane. Kana internally criticizes Akane’s powerful stage presence and questions why Akane dislikes her. Determined not to give up, Akane recalls that Kana’s acting inspired her to go to the theater.
A flashback in Season 2 Episode 7 of Oshi no Ko reveals how much Akane respected Kana during their childhood and how frustrated she was with Kana’s indifferent attitude towards acting. This realization inspired Akane to study human psychology in an attempt to understand Kana’s mindset.
For the moment, Akane concludes that Kana’s attitude stems from a desire for recognition and a fear of inadequacy. Akane disapproves of Kana’s supportive acting style, favoring a more vocal approach. On stage, Akane’s performance captivates the audience, and Kana accepts the challenge presented.
Although Kana is initially hesitant, she decides to support Akane’s performance, understanding that it is beneficial to the play as a whole. Oshi no Ko Season 2 Episode 7 concludes with Aqua and Akane agreeing to help Kana reach her full potential on stage.
