Introduction:

Hello! I'm Tsukuda Miyuki, a first year at Hizashi Academy ^^ Kimchi is my soulmate, and dogs are my favourite animals :) I really love idols, and I've admired μ's for a long time now. My hobby is baking, and when Kotori's birthday rolled around, I tried baking a cheesecake to commemorate the special occasion of my all time favourite idol -- but that didn't go so well, hehe >.<

Being an idol has been my dream for as long as I can remember -- I've always thought that it was unachievable, but with the support of my friends Kou and Ayaka, that dream may not seem so far away anymore ^ω^ We may not be the most talented idols, but I hope that you will continue to support us as we strive to reach the very top ~

Introduction:

Hey there! I’m Shimizu Kou, a first year from Hizashi Academy~ I like metal, idols, idol metal, and I really loathe garlic. I love, love, love idols --!! I’ve admired idols like μ's since a long time ago, and recently I’ve become interested in those newer idol groups like Butterfly Beats and Nova Stars too! I’m just a really big fan of idols in general -- standing there singing on that sparkling stage, they’re just so enthralling, so amazing -- it makes one want to try being one, to widen the smiles on people’s faces, too.

That’s why we’re here, trying our best now! Um, I’m not very informed on the latest trends -- mostly all I read is stuff like idol magazines and musty old books -- but I know a lot about idols, so that counts, right? I’m also not very good at singing or dancing either, all I can do is design our costumes -- but nevertheless, I’ll try my best at reaching that shining stage! So please support us as we shine as brilliantly as the sun~

Introduction:

Hey! My name is Akitogawa Ayaka, and it’s great to meet you! I’m a first year like Miyuki and Kou. I’m quite new to the idol scene, but since Miyuki and Kou introduced me to it, I’ve become interested in it. I used to dance a little, and I like singing, so I’ll try my best to make the group the best it can be! I really like cats, and I write in my free time. I’m a fan of manga and anime and I probably argue too much… But I hope you’ll support my friends and I as we work hard to make people happier!
