Okay this dork. THIS DORK. I love her, and I feel like this is pretty well in character, but it’s not selling the rockstar bit for me. 

I feel like for fame to work for Haruka (and I do prefer not-famous Haruka), it has to be an incidental product of something she loves? A famous racer, while not really likely, works for me because it’s just Haruka doing something Haruka loves, rather than Haruka seeking out fame. I mean, in theory a musician would play out of love for music, but she’d have to actively work to get discovered, where as with racing it feels like it could be more than she works at getting good and moves up the ranks quickly on merit (note that I don’t actually know anything about racing).

Basically, I don’t buy suave sexy rockstar being surprised a fan recognized her, even though I’m 100% sure Haruka would be flabbergasted at any fan girls she had.

I think the rocksar Haruka thing is so stupid/goofy. I can’t take it, I just laugh through her attempted ~~sexy~~ vid ahahah. I need to rewatch this, but I have a lot of feelings about Michiru.

The ~~sexy~~ vid is the most ridiculous thing. Which on the one hand is exactly what Haruka would do as a rockstar, but on the other is EXACTLY WHY SHE IS NOT A ROCKSTAR.

I  a l m o s t couldn’t take Michiru angsting in front of it seriously, but Sayaka is already killing it. I’ll probably return to that bit later once I see where they go with it.
