Summary
During the Magic Night showtape, a storyline was started in which Rolfe was fired from the Japanese franchise after making sexist and racist comments following "Puff the Magic Dragon" when Mio broke down in tears (sharing much of the same backstory as her Johnson Aligned Universe counterpart, sans any kaiju), which led Ritsu to bolt off of center stage (much to the surprise of startled audiences) and run to Stage Right, where the Cyberstar monitors showed her beating Rolfe and Earl egging her on. Afterwards, Ritsu took Mio backstage to calm her down while Yui and Mugi explained Mio's behavior, before the band reassembled and played "Magic" by Olivia-Newton John, completely forgoing the last segment with "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" (the "Michael Jackson Medley" had been eliminated in this new version of the Magic Night showtape, replaced by the previously-cut "Magic Touch").

Following the incident, all four members of Ho-kago Teatime went on strike to protest the chauvinistic conditions they were subjected to by Rolfe (a YouTube video posted by ShowBiz showed Ritsu and Mio having created a picket line outside one of the Yokohama locations, Ritsu shouting "Rolfe's a jerk! Ain't gonna work!"; this also appeared in a CEC TV News segment, which also had a segment about Mr. Munch's attempts to pan for pizza as if it was gold, which earned him scorn from Tim, who did a report on it in the style of his review segments on Fireside Chat with Tim Johnson), and the animatronic show went on hiatus; in its place, older Rock-afire Explosion Cyberstar segments from the late 1980s were shown (early plans called for center stage to be on a turntable that had The Rock-afire Explosion on the other side so they could be used in the event one of the AnimeTronics suffered a major malfunction; this is being rolled out to all ShowBiz locations worldwide over the next several years). The next released showtape around Thanksgiving revealed Rolfe's termination from the Japanese franchise. He was replaced by Yui's sister, Ui Hirasawa (voiced by Xanthe Hyunh), who still utilized Earl; unlike Rolfe, Ui and Earl actually put together coherent comedy acts, and are very civilized towards each other. In addition, the Ui animatronic is capable of putting down Earl and picking up and playing a rhythm guitar, with Earl upgraded to now be able to function independently by way of an onboard rechargeable battery pack that recharges while he is held by Ui; Earl is charged independently of Ui's own onboard battery. Ui used the U failure mode identifier.

Over the course of the showtape, Billy Bob, Looney Bird, Ui, and Earl struggled to keep the show going, trying to find stuff to talk about and songs to sing before the audience walked out, even getting desperate enough to use Ui's iPhone to call up Uncle Klunk, only to find he had since changed his number (the number was one Hyunh called at random, and it turned out to be the number for Tony Stewart's phone, which may or may not have been planned due to Stewart being one of the drivers who was mathematically-eligible for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship that year), so they settled for Skyping Munch's Make-Believe Band and making cracks at the Five Nights at Freddy's video game. It ended up being the most hilarious showtape CEI had ever produced, as much of it was just Fechter and Hyunh bantering back and forth without a script for roughly 45 minutes, making it one of the longest ShowBiz showtapes after the New Year's Eve 1988 showtape (which was 50 minutes).

CEC News - Ho-Kago Teatime on Strike!
WORK-IN-PROGRESS
 * (An announcer narrates on some stories)
 * Announcer: Today on CEC TV News, a local idiot pans for pizza like it's gold, an Italian chef tries to impress with his comedy act, and finally, Ho-kago Teatime is on strike! All this and more coming up on CEC TV News.
 * (The CEC TV News intro plays, showing clips from various Rock-afire Explosion, Munch's Make-Believe Band, and Ho-kago Teatime shows, as well as clips of Chuck E. reporting various stories.)
 * Chuck E.: Hello, and welcome once again to CEC TV News. I'm Chuck E. Cheese, and we have some exciting stories for you today. First, and probably most important, the band playing at all ShowBiz Pizza Place locations in the Japanese states, Ho-kago Teatime, is going on strike. They have said that the strike will continue until they receive some compensation for their treatment from recently-fired comedian Rolfe DeWolfe. Here's what the band has to say.
 * (The scene cuts to the band)
 * Yui: Well, everyone, I think ShowBiz should pay for hiring that wolf in the first place, and our hope is that ShowBiz addresses this as soon as possible--
 * Ritsu: Rolfe's a jerk! Ain't gonna work!
 * Yui: Can you please stop interrupting me?
 * Ritsu: Sorry.
 * Yui: Anyway, our hope is that this is addressed, and some sort of compensation is paid.
 * (Scene cuts back to the CEC TV News studio)
 * Chuck E.: Now, to report the next few stories is ShowBiz Pizza Time owner, Tim Johnson. Tim?
 * (The camera pans to Tim)
 * Tim: Thanks, Chuck E. In other news, local idiot Mr. Munch, keyboardist and namesake of Munch's Make-Believe Band, is panning for pizza in a river. Yes, panning for pizza. Like gold. Our roving reporter is with him right now.
 * (The scene fades to Munch and "roving reporter" Looney Bird)
 * Looney Bird: Thank you, Chuck E. I'm standing right here with Munch, who has been standing for approximately two hours. Munch, can you please tell us why you're panning for pizza?
 * Munch: Because I love pizza.
 * Looney Bird: We know, but why are you panning?
