About
If dreams won’t come true with pretty words alone…
“I want to perform at the Budokan one day!”
Idols whose eyes sparkle with dazzling dreams.
As their manager and president of their agency, every decision you make—your management capabilites—will shape their future.
Unpredictable situations will constantly force your hand. And every choice you make will always put you on the brink of bankruptcy.
Take risks, hold off on live performances when necessary, and sometimes, win them over with a tasty treat…
“A job making idols’ dreams come true”—isn’t exactly as expected!?
Story
You are stunned after watching the performance of the popular idol Hotaru.
Having never had any dreams of your own, you think, “If I can’t become an idol myself, I can at least support the dreams of idols.” And with that, you set out to become a manager at a talent agency.
Several years later, by chance, you come into the capital needed to formally establish your own talent agency. With Koyume Izumino as your consultant, you hold auditions to choose five idols and begin your journey as both agency head and their manager. Will you be able to make their dreams come true…?
