Kirakira is having 49 episodes. You can figure this out by the time you reach the Christmas/New Years break. We got episode 44, and getting 45 next week to have a break on Dec 31 only to come back on Jan 7 for episode 46. Jan 28 will be the final episode of Kirakira, 49 episodes.

And I don't think leap years have anything to do with this pattern otherwise....Smile would have had 50 episodes, not 48 episodes in 2012.
