Synopsis:

 

Yujiro has worked hard at his lessons, dreaming of performing on the Kabuki stage, but he is not chosen as the successor and his path for the future is cut short. Meanwhile, Aizo, who loves to sing, has spent his days getting irritated by the unrestrained behavior of his mother and brother, who live together with him.

 

Then one day, the two take a chance to apply for an idol audition. When they meet at the audition site, they get into an argument over a trivial thing. It was the worst kind of encounter, but both of them pass the audition!

 

However, President Tamura told them the condition for their debut. They will have to form a unit to make their debut. This is the story of how the two, who are total opposites, become super-popular idols.
