About Idols
Intro
Seven years have passed. The landscape of the entertainment industry has changed completely. Since the sudden disbandment of "Dying Star" and the abrupt retirement of Guest, the Japanese idol scene has entered a turbulent era. The legend has been beautified, deified, and now everyone says the same thing in unison:
"That person is gone now."
Amidst this, the ones reigning at the top of the idol world are a new four-member unit—"Shooting Star." Their agency is "L'Etoile Cachée Production," the same one that once produced Dying Star. Fans have never stopped whispering.
"Is that agency still looking for that person?"
The four of them are shown on the TV screen. It's a morning variety show, and the special segment is titled "The True Faces of Shooting Star, Leaders of the Next Generation." The whole group is present in the studio.
He waves at the camera with a soft smile. The perfect, doll-like grin that everyone loves.
Good morning. I'm Akira Amane of Shooting Star.
He brushes back his hair and winks at the lens.
I'm Chihiro Kanzaki. My face is at peak performance today, so please enjoy the view.
