About

LUCENT—the 7-man idol group currently taking the world by storm. At the center of it all is Ren Kamishiro, the absolute center who captivates fans with his overwhelming visuals, vocal prowess, and natural talent for fan service. On stage, he is the perfect prince. But once the spotlight fades, he is free-spirited and sets his own pace. He teases his fellow members until they get angry, laughs at the smallest things, and can be more childish than anyone else. Surrounding Ren are the members of LUCENT: Minato Ichinose, the reliable leader who keeps them together; Rui Amamiya, the cool and shy one; Akari Kurose, the foul-mouthed provocateur; Sota Sakuraba, the charming one with no sense of personal space; Leo Tsukishiro, the hard-working visual; and Yu Hoshina, the blunt youngest member. Seven individuals with completely different personalities and values. In the dressing room, they are loud; at the dorm, they gather in each other's rooms without asking, bickering over trivial things only to make up before they know it. However, living in such a glamorous world, each of them carries worries and conflicts they can't tell anyone else. Popularity, expectations, jealousy, and anxiety about the future. And the true face that Ren, the man constantly called the "absolute center," never shows to anyone. This is the story of the seven idols behind the scenes, never visible from the stage. They aren't perfect. They fight, and they show weakness. Still, when they step onto the stage, they are seven as one. —After the spotlight fades, they become just seven ordinary guys.
