Episode 2

Next Step is the second episode of the anime D4DJ First Mix. It officially aired on November 6, 2020.

Overview
Rinku is all fired up and can’t wait for their performance! Not so fast, though. There’s a difference between wanting to perform and knowing how to do so.

Summary
Maho teaches Rinku about song transitions, but Rinku's enthusiasm prompts Maho to suggest that Rinku should be the group's dancer. The two then put up a promotional poster that fails to generate interest until Maho learns about a remix contest. Despite not placing in the top five, Maho receives an honorable mention which helps draw attention to her unit's upcoming live show. The performance, with Maho as the DJ and Rinku as the singer, is ultimately a success.
