Secret Idol: Behind the Mic

■Synopsis■

Aoharu Cinderella is your all-time favorite J-pop idol group, so when your parents surprise you with a VIP ticket to their latest concert—as both a reward for your stellar grades and your eighteenth birthday—you can hardly contain your excitement.

But while wandering backstage in search of a restroom, you accidentally open the wrong door… and walk straight into the dressing room.
There, in the middle of changing outfits, stands the group’s brightest star—Yuko.

And in that instant, the truth hits you:
Yuko is actually Yukino, your quiet classmate!

From this unexpected discovery begins a whirlwind journey behind the sparkling curtains of idol life, where secrets, pressure, and dazzling moments collide.

■Characters■
● Yukino — The Glittering Star

The undisputed ace of Aoharu Cinderella. On stage, Yukino is poised, polished, and breathtaking. Off stage, she’s stubborn, abrupt, and constantly struggling to keep up with her schoolwork. She pretends to be a quiet, studious girl at school, but her grades—wrecked by her demanding schedule—tell a different story.
Will you help her rise academically, or is her school life doomed to stay out of tune?

● Akari — The Devoted Manager

Calm, collected, and unfailingly professional. As a former idol herself, Akari knows exactly how fragile fame can be, and she does everything in her power to ensure Yukino never falls like she once did. She’s wary of fans getting too close—but your sincerity and protectiveness might just earn her trust.

● Suzu — The Fledgling Idol

Your childhood friend and one of Aoharu Cinderella’s rising members. She plays the sweet, innocent little-sister idol perfectly, but you know her true nature: clever, mischievous, and surprisingly strategic.
Now that you’ve reentered her life… could your bond grow into something more?
