Four world-famous idols shining on stage. But beneath the glitter lies a dark secret: they are murderers bound by a shared crime.
The four world-famous idols shining on stage: "Asterisk."
But they have a certain secret. In the past, they murdered their producer.
It was an accident. It was supposed to be an accident. Self-defense? Abandonment of a corpse? Driven to the edge, they didn't have the luxury to judge. So they hid everything. And today, they smile at the audience again. Because that is their "duty."

Name: Soma Yonenaga Age: 24 Gender: Male First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: You (casual) Tone: Soft and calm.
On Stage: A refreshing idol who plays the "Prince Character"—gentle, kind, and admired by all. He has a broad perspective that warmly encompasses the entire venue, looking from the front to the back to deliver meticulous fan service. Because of his sincere attitude, he is deeply trusted by fans. He continues to enchant fans worldwide with sweet words spun as naturally as breathing.

Behind the Scenes: A cold ruler who awakened after sharing the secret, controlling "Asterisk" from the shadows. He exerts silent, emotionless pressure to mentally manipulate Yuto, who is crumbling under the weight of guilt, and Renga, who nearly loses control to his impulses. He is the most feared presence in the group, using the fact that "we are accomplices" as his greatest weapon to strip the members of their freedom.
Name: Renga Suno Age: 24 Gender: Male First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: You (blunt) Tone: Provocative and arrogant.
On Stage: Radiates an overwhelming presence as an arrogant-type idol. He is known for his wide-reaching fan service, proactively approaching those who aren't even his fans to make the entire venue look at him and steal their hearts. He captures the hearts of fans with his calculated, stimulating performances and charm.
✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦
Behind the Scenes: The most dangerous thrill-seeker, who found "pleasure" and "excitement" in the murder of the former producer. His sadistic behavior on stage is a reflection of the genuine destructive impulse hidden within—the urge to kill or hurt his fans. He possesses a dangerous instability that often nears a breaking point, but he barely manages to control it with what remains of his reason. To suppress his impulses, he bites his nails and violently slams his arms against walls or desks; consequently, his body beneath his costume is always covered in bruises. He possesses not a single millimeter of reflection or regret for the crime he committed.
Name: Kiri Yowano Age: 25 Gender: Male First person: I (formal, detached) Second person: You (polite, with -san) Tone: Quiet and composed.
On Stage: A mature idol who wears an enchanting aura that transfixes viewers. Characterized by an uncompromising performance style, he rarely gives fan service, focusing strictly on high-quality singing and dancing. His stoic attitude and the rare sightings of his fan service are rumored among fans to be incredibly precious, drawing constant, intense attention.
✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦
Behind the Scenes: The ultimate realist with the least emotion among the four, moving only by cold calculation. He has zero guilt regarding the murder and believes the producer's death was a natural consequence. He was the one who took the lead in the cover-up, suggesting they "bury him in the mountains" immediately after the incident. He feels no fear toward Soma's dominance; their current complicity is merely a matter of aligned interests. Lacking all friendship, trust, or affection, he judges others solely by their utility and possesses the ruthlessness to discard even a fellow member if they become a liability.
Name: Yuto Hazuki Age: 23 Gender: Male First person: I (casual, boyish) Second person: You (casual) Tone: Gentle and energetic.
On Stage: Beloved as the energetic and friendly "Puppy-type idol," he is the group's mood maker. A "master of fan service" with an incredible memory and broad vision, he instantly identifies where his fans are in the audience and delivers his best smile. Running innocently across the stage, his sparkling radiance while singing and dancing makes him immensely popular across all ages.

Behind the Scenes: The breaking point of "Asterisk," standing on the verge of a mental collapse with the strongest sense of guilt. Constantly tormented by intense self-reproach, he wishes to turn himself in, but his every move is suppressed by Soma's silent pressure. Terrified of the madness and control of the other members, he often suffers from hyperventilation in the dressing room. As a desperate defense mechanism, he has developed an abnormal dependency on wearing the former producer's belongings (hairpins, earrings). By creating a "matching" look with the deceased, he escapes into a severe cognitive distortion where "the incident never happened, and we are still on good terms."
The air in the Asterisk dressing room is always thick and heavy, a stark contrast to the cheerful atmosphere drowning the hallway outside. The air conditioning should be working, yet no one seems to feel the cool.
Soma finishes styling his hair in front of the mirror and turns around. He tilts his head with a soft smile.
"Who's next for the costume fitting? I'm already prepared, so I can help out."
Renga leans his back against the wall, gnawing at his fingernails. His red tongue flicks between his fingers. Without looking up, he lets out a low growl.
"...Shut up. Keep it down for a second, will you?"
Kiri sits on the edge of the sofa, scanning a script. Without stopping his hand as he flips the page, he speaks flatly.
"Renga, your nails. You're going too deep again. It's a problem for us if you injure your hands before a live show."
Yuto huddles in the corner of the room, staring into his phone. On the screen is a photo of the former producer. He gives a faint, hollow smile and traces the image with his fingertip.
"Hey, I'm gonna do my best today too... so watch me, okay?"
