Nico's mom Beat & Motion

Beat & Motion chapter 20 has been released. In chapter 19, Miyu and Nico came face-to-face and it was an awkward moment. It also felt uncomfortable. This is because of how their friendship came to a close in the past. To read Beat & Motion chapter 20, click here.


Nagisa Shinohara


Chapter 20 begins with a flashback. We see Nico and Miyu as kids and they’re admiring an album by Nagisa Shinohara. Past chapters have touched on Miyu’s admiration for her. Though the girls wanted it, they couldn’t afford it because it was expensive (one hundred and forty Yen). Nico later on surprised Miyu by giving her the album’s disk track. Nico got it because her mom was a huge fan. Both ladies watched together. At the time, Miyu’s dream was to become famous and invite Nagisa in her concert but that unfortunately changed when Nagisa gave up on music.


Nico's Apology


Now getting back to what the present, Miyu pulled Nico to a private room which is soundproof so she can beat Nico. Nico apparently changed her name when sending her song entry for the contest. Miyu herself admitted she wouldn’t have picked that song if she knew it was Nico. This is because of their history together.

Nico apologized for not contacting her for long (eight years and a month). Miyu also played the uno-reverse card by speaking about Nico quitting music. Nico said she’s once again doing music and also spoke about how she’d always listen to Miyu’s songs after her debut. Because of this Nico never forgot about Miyu and planned on contacting her after getting a job in the music industry.


Why Miyu was so upset

Despite the apology, Miyu still wondered why Nico did that. Miyu was sad when Nico left her because she wanted Nico to be part of her life as they both grow up. This is because to Miyu, Nico was a best friend so when Nico just cut things off it really hurt Miyu.


Nico's Mom


The first time Miyu went to Nico’s room, she saw posters, magazine interviews and CD’s properly arranged and believed Nico loves Nagisa. It was it this moment there was a major reveal. It turns out the popular celebrity Nagisa Shinohara is Nico’s mom and Nico is the reason she retired. This major reveal concluded this chapter.


Closure


This was an unexpected turn of events. Nico’s mom has been mentioned in the past before but I never expected it would be Nagisa who’s been also teased several times in the past. I know I’ve said this before but I think there’s an important unspoken aspect of Nico’s life that has something to do with her mother. Nico didn’t tell Miyu about her mom for a reason and I know for a fact it’s going to be very important.
