Synopsis

Missing idol Arika's disappearance haunts Lyrical Trick as mysterious blonde Nana auditions, reviving dark secrets.

Arika Mamiya, the beloved center of the popular idol group Lyrical Trick, vanished without a trace over a year ago, leaving fans and fellow members devastated. In an effort to revitalize the group and move forward, Lyrical Trick announces auditions for new third-generation members. Among the hopeful candidates is Nana Miyajima, a striking blonde girl whose exceptional talent and mysterious aura capture everyone's attention. As the audition process unfolds, Nana's presence seems to stir up old memories and unanswered questions about what really happened to Arika, setting the stage for a story that explores friendship, ambition, and the hidden complexities behind the glittering world of idols.
