Synopsis[]
Shooting Star Academy is holding the entry audition and transfer audition after the Hatsumōde celebration. There are two girls who want to pass the transfer audition for different reasons: Gekijou Nakamura wants to pass because she is tired of being called the "middle child" and wants to prove that she has much talent and potential as her famous family members while Naomi Inoue wants to pass because she wants to save her family's failing restaurant and hopes to become its image girl. But will both of them pass and fulfill their dreams of becoming idols?
