An ordinary high school age girl named Miu Takigawa wakes to a letter inviting her to join a new project. Skeptical at first, she travels to a secured facility where she meets seven other girls drawn in the same way. Inside there, a team reveals a startling plan: the eight of them will debut as a major label idol group. The prospect promises fame and a chance to shine, but it also feels unreal as the doors behind them close on ordinary life. The setting is slick and secret, hinting at a world where performance is controlled, polished, and measured. The series follows their choices as they weigh the cost and the thrill of stepping into the spotlight.

This animated series from 2020 is the brainchild of Chiaki Nagai and Reiji Miyajima. It's presented as an original concept rather than adaptation, emphasizing character-driven storytelling and stylized animation.

The show has a modest reception with a 6.8 out of 10 from a small audience, signaling a niche appeal. It probes fame and debut pressure while exploring how idol culture shapes friendships and the sense of self under the glare of performance.
