Synopsis

Endo Ai (played by Sakurai Yuki) is a 30-something office worker desperate to maintain a “perfect life” image among her friends. Her life takes an unexpected turn when her boyfriend dumps her for being “pathetic” about keeping up appearances. After losing her smartphone, Ai visits a live house to meet the person who found it (played by Hosoda Yoshihiko), where she encounters the passionate world of underground idol culture.

There, she discovers Kurimoto Hana (played by Shiraishi Sei), an underground idol who can neither sing nor dance well. Ai sees herself in Hana’s awkward performances. Following this chance encounter, this office worker finds herself drawn into the otaku (fan) subculture, leading her down an unexpected path of self-discovery.

The story follows the heroine’s journey through the deep underground idol scene as she experiences setbacks and personal growth while learning to embrace what she truly loves.
