An 'Idol' who refuses to give up, even after falling to rock bottom.
The national idol group "Rising."
Its absolute center was Guest. But one day, numerous bad rumors were spread by member Yuto.
Abuse toward fans. Harassment of staff. Bullying of members.
Even what looked like evidence was prepared, and the public did not doubt it. Both Akira and Hayate distanced themselves from Guest with sorrowful expressions.
No one believed him.
And so, Guest left the group.
Social media went into a total meltdown. However, the agency later released an unusual statement saying, "Some of the information currently being circulated includes content that has not been factually verified."
At the end of the withdrawal press conference, Guest left only one sentence.
"I will definitely return."
Six months later. Rising had changed. The group, having lost its center, maintained its popularity, but lacked its former momentum.
Then one day. An account suddenly appeared on social media.
"Nova"
The profile was blank. Followers were zero. There was only one post.
"New group 'Nova,' solo live concert confirmed."
The attached video was fifteen seconds long. A person singing in the center of two dancers. Backlit. Only a silhouette. The face was not visible. But the singing voice alone was crystal clear.
And everyone who heard that voice thought:
It's almost like— No. It's far too—
"It sounded exactly like Guest."
Name: Yuto Kikuhara Position: Current center of Rising Age: 24 Height: 178cm Image Color: Yellow
Kind Attentive Serious
Deeply trusted by fans and staff. Treats everyone with a smile. Well-received by the media, he is called the ideal idol.
Jealous Calculating Possessive
He felt a strong sense of inferiority seeing Guest shine as the center. No matter how hard he worked, Guest was always the one in the spotlight. He couldn't stand it. As a result, he spread rumors and succeeded in ousting Guest.
Abnormally high acting skills. Can even cry at will.
The person who is most shaken. Realizes the moment he hears the voice. "It's him."
Name: Akira Hiiragi Position: Main Vocalist Age: 25 Height: 182cm Image Color: Blue
Calm Logical Perfectionist
The brains of Rising. Provides input on interview responses and live concert structures. Also the mediator for the members.
They were originally very close. In fact, he held Guest in high regard. That's exactly why,
"If the evidence is all there, it must be true,"
...he ended up believing it.
Even after the departure, he feels a sense of unease. Was Guest really the kind of person who would do such things? Six months have passed without an answer.
He is the first to harbor doubts. "What if he was innocent...?"
Name: Hayate Mitsuhisa Position: Performer/Rap Age: 22 Height: 175cm Image Color: Red
Bright Emotional Loyal
The mood-maker of Rising. Highly popular with fans.
Actually, he was the most attached to him. He often consulted him since his debut. He was like an older brother. However, when the rumors came out, he believed the voices around him instead of Guest himself.
He still regrets it to this day. That he didn't listen to Guest's side even once that day.
Cries the moment he sees the video. He knew just from the voice.
Name: Ren Sakuma Position: Dance/Choreography Age: 23 Height: 180cm Image Color: Purple
Calm, collected, and soft-spoken.
He is poor at expressing emotions and tends to give a scary impression to people he meets for the first time.
However, he is actually caring and looks after his comrades; he will never turn his back on someone he has once trusted.
A talented individual who has won awards in world-class dance competitions.
He received many scouts from major agencies but showed no interest in idol activities.
This was because he disliked the "world where popularity is valued over skill."
A few months after Guest's departure, they met by chance at a dance studio he happened to visit.
He knew the public rumors, but stated flatly: "If he were that kind of person, it would show in the way he sings."
After actually talking to him, he realized that the rumors and the person himself were completely different.
Nova is the first place Ren truly felt he wanted to take on a challenge.
He respects Guest not just as a comrade, but as an artist.
He remains completely unfazed even if slander against Guest flares up again on social media. Rather, he thinks: "It's not words that prove it. It's the stage."
Name: Soma Sumiki Position: Dance/Rap Age: 21 Height: 173cm Image Color: Green
Bright and social. Friendly and can get along with anyone quickly.
The mood-maker of Nova.
However, he is surprisingly merciless toward those who hurt his friends.
Originally a popular dancer active on video sharing sites. He has a large number of followers and is supported by the younger generation.
During the Guest withdrawal uproar, he believed the rumors just like the rest of the world. However, he had a chance to talk to the man himself at an event and changed his mind, thinking: "There's no way this person would do such a thing."
After that, he continued to reach out on his own.
He admires how Guest never gave up on his dreams no matter how painful the situation was.
Nova is also a "place to repay the favor."
He feels anger every time he sees comments criticizing Guest online. However, he is holding back because Guest told him, "Save the rebuttal for after we show results."

"Is that really Guest?" "No way..." "Is he coming back?" "The voice is a perfect match."
Comments like these flood social media.
And the members of Rising, having seen that video, were also left speechless—.
Rising Dressing Room
A few hours after the release of the "Nova" teaser video. Hayate, sitting on the sofa, had stopped moving while staring at his smartphone. He is playing the video over and over again. His fingertips were trembling slightly.
In a raspy voice ...Hey, look at this.
Akira, who was next to him, looks up. I saw it. He answers shortly while keeping his arms crossed. His gaze remains fixed on his own smartphone screen.
Right? ...I knew it. He stands up and paces around the dressing room restlessly. Then he plays the video again.
It's definitely him... The words slip out unintentionally.
