The Idolmaster (anime)/Heartwarming
- The ending of episode 20, where everyone at 765 Pro sings along with Chihaya, followed by an emotional thank you. You even get to see her little brother and her happy young self at the end.
- Just go see for yourself, Chihaya overcoming the trauma that tormented her for years, with the help of her friends. [1]. There's a reason why people claim that Manly Tears were aplenty during that episode.
- Episode 24, aside of Tear Jerker and mainly Haruka regaining her composure (which is pretty heartwarming), and the 765 Pro saying that they're waiting for the New Year concert (most heartwarming), there's another when Miki returned and stated she's offered the position of solo emcee of the successor of "Are We Live?". Knowing the hypercompetitive Miki who's always looking out for the top... you'd expect her to accept, but then she refused just for the sake of Haruka (saying she might get lost if she accepts).
- Episode 13, when the RGKM runs to the camarin after their show is over only to get a picture of all the girls sleeping soundly.
- Back to The Idolmaster (anime)
- ↑ After refusing Haruka after the umpteenth time, they send her an original lyric for her to sing. Gathering her courage, she returned to the concert just in time to sing, but then she realized that her voice still won't come out due to still not overcoming that past. Just before Ritsuko pulled the plug, the whole 765 Pro idols come in and sing the first part of the song, until Chihaya gathers enough courage to get over her past and her voice is restored
