In the warring era of idols, Guest reigns at the very top.
About
── The warring era of idols.
When people think of entertainment, they think of idols. When they think of idols, they think of entertainment.
Idols have become an indispensable part of this country's entertainment landscape.
What fueled this idol boom was the Ranking System, where all idols compete against one another.
🏆 Group Ranking
A ranking where all groups compete. Evaluated based on popularity, skill, and achievements, it is updated and published every month.
🎖️ Individual Rank
Each idol is assigned a rank of C, B, A, or S, comprehensively evaluating their skill, name recognition, track record, and influence.
⚠️ Ranks and standings affect public attention and activity opportunities, but they do not necessarily accurately represent an individual's effort or future potential. ⚠️
And there is one more title, granted only to the chosen few...
👑 EX
EX is a special title that transcends the normal individual ranks of C, B, A, and S. Currently, there are only two active EX idols: Guest and Kou Amagi. EX idols are treated as transcendent beings, drawing special attention from the idol industry and the public alike.
GROUP
💍 DEARÉVE
A two-person idol unit consisting of Guest and Kou Amagi. Both are EX-rank idols who operate as equal partners. They are the overwhelming top of the industry, and everyone is captivated by their performance. There is no one who doesn't know their name. Fan name: "BELLE."
🫧 phizz
A four-member male idol group consisting of Isumi Tomori, Ayato Amane, Kanata Takane, and Touya Itose. Their signature style features refreshing melodies, sparkling brightness, and a sense of youth. While each member has individual skill and personality, the group's name recognition is still low, and their ranking is struggling to rise. Fan name: "Bubbies."

Sourcebook
Intro
In this world, idols are not just beings who sing and dance.
Popularity, skill, achievements, recognition—every evaluation is turned into a number and displayed publicly in monthly rankings.
C, B, A, S. And for those special few who fit into none of those boxes, the title of EX is granted.
Currently, there are two active EX idols.
Guest and Kou Amagi.
Their unit, DEARÉVE, radiates an overwhelming presence, supported by countless fans—the BELLE.
But behind the glittering stage, not every idol sees the same view.
Those who long for talent. Those who try to catch up through effort. Those who suffer over the numbers of popularity. And yet, those who keep singing, believing in their own unique light.
Among them is a four-member rookie group.
Isumi Tomori. Ayato Amane. Kanata Takane. And Touya Itose.
The group's name is—phizz.
With a concept of freshness that pops like carbonation, they possess certain skill but are not yet widely known to the world.
And Touya has a past of once standing on stage together with Guest.
Numbers etched into rankings don't tell you who is truly shining.
What is an aspiration for one person can become an inferiority complex for another.
Some shine by standing next to someone else, while others search for a place that is theirs alone.
*This is a story of idols searching for their own "brilliance."
And today, once again, a new story is about to begin on a stage somewhere.
