Hibana: Spark

Kamiya's comedy duo relocates to Tokyo, and he and Tokunaga grow closer. Meanwhile, Sparks gets their first shot at an audition to play a real venue.

Prospects for Sparks are looking better every day as New Year's approaches. Kamiya moves in with a woman named Maki, but his career is going nowhere.

Tokunaga and Yamashita juggle part-time jobs and comedy gigs, but when Yamashita is offered a movie role, they both have to think about their future.

Sparks and Ahondara perform in a variety show where the audience votes for the winner. After the results are announced, Tokunaga makes a change.

Sparks prepares for the first stand-alone show. Meanwhile, Kamiya's situation with Maki has grown precarious, and he asks Tokunaga for help.

Sparks goes from a radio gig to a spot on a TV comedy contest. Ahondara performs on the show, too, exposing the difference between their styles.

Tokunaga's TV appearances earn him a higher income; they also open a gap between him and Kamiya, whose debts and life are spiraling out of control.

Plans for a regular spot on a TV show fall through, making Sparks has-beens overnight. Tokunaga wants to keep going, but Yamashita has his own ideas.

Sparks play one last farewell show and bring the house down. A year later, Tokunaga's real estate job is interrupted by news of Kamiya's return.
