I appreciate laying out the time line, definitely feels like Pulp Fiction there, take care Keith!

Gets a bit difficult following the timeline here. As far as I can make out, episode 5 starts shortly after Kakihana shows Odokawa the picture of Shiho on his phone in episode 3 (phone says 18:02). This is before Kakihana & Shiho's date.
Odokawa then picks up the 2 mystery kiss members (one of whom is Shiho - which is why Odokawa says he thinks he's seen her before) and drops them off before 19:00 for their practice session.
The later Kakihana & Shiho date scene in E5 comes after the last part of E3 where Kakihana stumbles out of the bar and gets a message from Shiho asking to meet. In which case, Yamamoto has time to tail Kakihana & Shiho as shown at the end of E3. (Initially I was wondering how Yamamoto could be using Odokawa's cab if he was tailing Kakihana & Shiho - but this timeline works).
Phew - getting Pulp Fiction timeline flashbacks here :-)
