Seven Sendai girls form idol group WUG, battling industry struggles while inspiring new middle-school dreamers.
"Wake Up, Girls!" follows the journey of seven girls from Sendai, Miyagi who come together to form the idol group "Wake Up, Girls! (WUG)."

Through hard work, determination, and the bonds of friendship they forge along the way, WUG faces the harsh realities of show business while pursuing their aspirations.
