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.

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.
