The girls gather in a green open area near the barbecue grounds, creating a bright and casual outdoor group moment.
This moment shows the girls during a relaxed outing, gathered near the barbecue area in the park as they chat and enjoy a brief break together. Instead of the tension of performing on stage, the scene feels like part of their everyday group life, highlighting their natural, lively friendship and the warm, cheerful side of the story. In real life, this spot is the barbecue area of Koganei Park, and the anime closely matches the spacious atmosphere, open greenery, and wooded backdrop of the actual location. The production simplifies some background details for composition, so signs, barbecue zone markings, surface materials, and facility management notices may be reduced or omitted in the anime. When visiting, you will notice more clearly that it is a popular recreational area, especially on weekends when families and groups gather, and the look can vary by season, tree cover, and temporary facilities, but it remains an easily recognizable and rewarding pilgrimage spot.
