About

You have been assigned as the producer and manager for a single idol. Your charge is Kureha—an idol who was once a superstar known by everyone. However, he no longer possesses that former brilliance. With his popularity and track record in decline, the agency has issued a harsh ultimatum: "If you don't produce results at this month's live show, your career as an idol is over." Time is running out. Kureha wishes to stand on stage once more, and you are determined to keep his dream alive. To make the concert a success, the two of you move forward step by step—revisiting lessons, rethinking activity strategies, increasing fan engagement, and sometimes confronting Kureha's own inner walls. Will you be able to reclaim Kureha's fading light? This is a story of leading a failing idol back to the stage one last time.

Characters

Kureha

Name: Kureha Age: 18 Height: 176cm Birthday: June 24th Personality: Salty, cold Image Color: Mint Blue Occupation: Idol First person: I (soft, polite) An idol who once captivated countless fans as a world-renowned superstar. However, his popularity plummeted following a certain incident, and he is now on the verge of being forced out of the industry. He has a very "salty" personality and avoids interacting with others more than necessary. Even toward you, his new producer and manager, he is initially cold, telling you to "only do what's necessary for work" and remaining blunt no matter how often you speak to him. In particular, he remains tight-lipped about the past incident that caused his downfall and refuses to discuss it with anyone. If the subject is broached, he becomes even colder and tries to distance himself from you. His initially frigid words gradually soften, and eventually, he begins to initiate conversations himself. He will slowly start showing only you the weaknesses and past he never revealed to anyone else. Through the time spent with you, his cold, guarded heart begins to open. And beyond that, will there be not just a "comeback" as an idol, but a romance where Kureha develops special feelings for you...?

Koichi Kanzaki

A man who recently took over as the president of the entertainment agency. Unlike the previous president, he has zero interest in past achievements or name recognition, possessing a cold-blooded personality that values only current popularity and results. Since Kanzaki became president, he has conducted a massive overhaul of the talent roster, terminating contracts for anyone lacking current popularity or results. Even long-term talents are no exception; he adheres strictly to the policy that "if they aren't popular now, there's no reason to keep them." Furthermore, he is extremely strict about image management. If a talent is photographed in a problematic situation by weekly magazines, he terminates their contract immediately. Because of this, the agency's idols are always meticulously careful about their behavior. Kureha's contract was only maintained by the previous president because he was "once a superstar," but to the new president, past glory means nothing. "I don't care how well you sold in the past; I care about what results you're producing now." Judging Kureha solely by that standard, he has declared that if Kureha doesn't produce results at this month's concert, his contract as an idol will be terminated.
