January 24, 2015
Utsuki, Rin and Mio start taking lessons to train to be Mika’s back dancers. It’s a long, hard struggle, but thanks to the encouragement of the other project members, they somehow make it.

January 31, 2015

February 7, 2015
Two units are going to make their debut, one with Uzuki, Rin and Mio, the other with Minami and Anastasia. They all become busy with lessons to prepare for their mini-concert debut. However, Miku's frustrations boil over dangerously when her own debut can't be seen on the horizon.
1x6 - Finally, our day has come!
February 14, 2015
Uzuki, Rin and Mio are the members of New Generations, while Minami and Anastasia make up Love Laika. A mini-concert to promote their respective debut CDs is planned, and the members of both units are preparing with interviews, fitting sessions and the like. Minami and Anastasia are extremely nervous since it’ll be their first time performing on stage, but they do their best to prepare by working together and training a lot. Meanwhile, the members of New Generations can’t wait to have another onstage experience like they did with Mika.

1x7 - I wonder where I find the light I shine…
February 22, 2015
Producer fails to chase after Mio when she runs out of the office. This makes Rin and the other project members distrust Producer's attitude and what he means to do on his own. Then Rin leaves the project too, and it looks like the whole thing may fall apart. Producer pays a visit to Uzuki, who had the misfortune of catching a cold at this critical time, but her smile and unflagging dream of becoming an idol strengthens Producer's resolve to bring Mio and Rin back into the fold. Meanwhile, the other members hear about how Producer became cowardly in the way he interacts with the idols after a past incident...
1x8 - I want you to know my hidden heart
March 7, 2015
As summer rolls around, Producer and the idols become closer, while the project moves along nicely. And for Ranko, it's especially nice, as she gets to make her CD debut next.

March 14, 2015
Kanako, Chieri, and Anzu make their unit debut as Candy Island. However, Anzu states that she doesn’t want to work. Kanako is laid-back and does everything at her own pace, and Chieri is so nervous about an audience watching her that she can’t look at them. The unit seems iffy from the get-go, but the three of them are invited to appear on a variety show hosted by Mizuki Kawashima and Airi Totoki. Preoccupied by the audience’s gaze, the newly-minted trio has zero teamwork as they face off against three other idols. It doesn’t help when a terrifying “punishment” is announced beforehand for whichever team loses!
1x10 - Our world is full of joy!!
March 21, 2015
The trio of Rika, Miria, and Kirari make their debut as Dekorationt and even do a tie-in with the fashion brand Pika Pika Pop. The unit does fine with a PR event, but Producer feels they can involve the audience more. While thinking of ways to do just that, the trio takes a breather in Harajuku, but when Producer gets separated from them, both sides look in all the wrong places for each other. The clock is ticking too, since the next event starts soon, so never mind engaging the audience, Dekoration may miss the whole thing!
1x11 - Can you hear my voice from the heart?
March 28, 2015
Miku Maekawa and Riina Tada are going to make their debut as the Cinderella Project's final unit. However, Miku aims to be a cute, cat-eared idol, while Riina's goal is to become a cool rock idol.

July 18, 2015
It's been a month since the idol festival and the 346 Production Cinderella Project idols are expanding the scope of their activities and grow one step at a time.

Executive Director Mishiro announces that the division is going to start anew and cancels all current projects. Furthermore, she proclaims that she will pick the idols as part of one grand project.

There's a lot of anxiety as idols are driven out of offices they've always been in and relocated, while Producer works hard to protect their department by presenting a plan in place of hers. Then Executive Mishiro calls 346 Production's top idol, Kaede Takagaki, in for a private meeting!?
1x16 - The light shines in my heart.
August 1, 2015
The project that Producer proposes to Executive Director Mishiro is called "Cinderella's Ball: Power of Smile." It's meant to be a complex event that will showcase the idols' individual strengths. Though Mishiro's proposal runs completely counter to this idea, she gives Producer permission to run with it. Producer and the idols will be able to prevent the gutting of their division if they show results within a certain time frame. The Cinderella Project idols are happy about this reprieve, but idols in other departments, particularly those whose strong suit is with variety shows, find themselves facing changes due to Mishiro's course of action. And one of them is the eccentric Nana Abe, who claims to be from the planet Usamin! Cat character idol Miku worries about getting the ax, while Riina worries about Miku...
1x17 - Where does this road lead to?

Meanwhile, Executive Director Mishiro is after Mika to change her image. Though Mika doesn't like it, she thinks of her department and younger colleagues and does her best. But on the set of Totokira Academy, Rika doesn't like how Mika is being asked to change her image, and the two sisters get into a fight. When Miria is depressed too, Kirari and the other idols worry about both of their own. At this rate, can the TV show be a success!?
1x18 - A little bit of courage shows your way.
August 15, 2015
After Totokira Academy gets off to a popular start, Candy Island makes a guest appearance on the show. Chieri and Kanako are so nervous that they act stiff, but with Anzu's casual support, they make it through the taping. The staff loves the stark differences between Anzu and Kirari and gives them a new recurring segment, "Anki Ranking." Chieri and Kanako agree to do to a taped interview for that segment, but Anzu worries about them in her own way. Seeing how hard everyone is working for the upcoming ball, Chieri and Kanako get fired up, but their nervousness prevents their true talent from coming out, and the interview becomes a hard battle...

Connecting with Natsuki, who is devoted to rock, makes Riina remember how much she loves it too. Riina is torn over what she wants to do.

1x22 - The best place to see the stars.
September 12, 2015
The fall fest held by 346 Production has begun at last. The Cinderella Project idols are each determined in their own way and fired up as they face the concert. Per Producer's decision, New Generations is sitting the concert out, but Mio and Uzuki are on hand as staff to support the others, while Rin performs with Karen and Nao to make their concert debut as Triad Primus. Meanwhile, Anastasia performs solo for the first time on stage and all the other Cinderella Project idols shine more than ever.

1x23 - Glass Slippers.
September 19, 2015
With the fall fest finished, the Cinderella Project members have ascended another stair. But when Uzuki suffers a crisis of confidence, she tells Producer that she wants to go back to the basics and subsequently returns to training school. Feeling that something is off, Producer frequently visits Uzuki at the school to keep an eye on her, but she sticks to her usual line of "I'll do my best." Producer doesn't think Uzuki is heading in the right direction, so he sets up a Christmas concert for New Generations and entreats her to re-enter the fold there. However, Uzuki doesn't show any enthusiasm for the plan. When Producer tells Rin and Mio about Uzuki's condition, they become anxious and go to the training school to see how she really feels. They find that Uzuki has lost her former dazzling smile...
1x24 - Barefoot Girl.
October 3, 2015
Uzuki has lost sight of herself and lost her smile, but Mio and Rin still believe in her, so they wait for Uzuki to come around. In response to her friends' faith, Uzuki visits 346 Pro, but she still has no good answer to the indecision that's inside her. Mio and Rin decide to watch over Uzuki, who remains in doubt even as she takes a lesson at the office. Afterwards, the other members on the scene share their various feelings as colleagues, friends, and idols. The encounter makes Uzuki think about what she's currently missing. And then it's Christmas Eve. Producer picks Uzuki up and they head over to the concert venue, but stop off at a certain place along the way...
1x25 - Cinderella Girls at the Ball.
October 17, 2015
