• Ko-Ko Paradise (PPP - Kuwashima Houko, Omimura Mayuko, Matsuzawa Yumi)

The last two songs were extras and not part of the competition.

Chisa, Michie, and Urara were dressed as their Sakura Taisen characters when they sang. They also sang a part of Hanasaku Otome during the talk portion after their real song.

Iwata Mitsuo and Aikawa Rikako (husband and wife in real life) came on to cheer for the white and red teams.

After Sawai Natsumi's song, Kobayashi Yumiko and Takahashi Mikako also came to talk about their acting school.

Houko, Mayuko, and Yumi sang their song wearing kimonos.

At the end, everyone came out wearing kimonos.

The white team won, 10 to 9.
