### **Rival Group Members**

**Hoshiyama Akira**

(星山晃 *Hoshiyama Akira*)

CV: Akira

Akira is a seemingly shy person, keeping to themselves a lot and trying not to be noticed. They've become a big fan of Bloom♥Jewel, and sing their songs often. They are completely unable to refuse requests, and are especially weak to the words "Please", "I beg of you", and "Help", which Kirara commonly exploits. They were scouted by Kirara to become an idol and to join her group, CONSTELLA\*, and after lots of hesitation, they joined. They don't find their singing to be really good, and get embarrassed quite easily. They feel as if they're not cut-out to be an idol. Later on, they join Bloom♥Jewel, in an attempt to change themselves from the 'same-as-always' them they've always known. They're more confident in the group as well. As a member of the rival unit, they're seen as the unit's "center", which stresses them out a lot. They're quite popular, even after changing units. They're a friend of Trixie's and her classmate. When it doesn't come to their idol life, they're a shut in and refer to themselves as "the Hiki-NEET singer". It is later revealed in Season 2 that they can play guitar and that they write their own songs.

**Tsukimori Kirara**

(月森きらら *Tsukimori Kirara*)

CV: (?)

Kirara is a very cheerful and outgoing person, who's usually remarked by others to be 'weird'. She adds strange words to her sentences (i.e. "Gyuu~" and "Run~") and dances around when excited. When it comes to idol work, however, she's extremely serious. She scouted Akira to join her group, CONSTELLA\*. She seems to be upset whenever Akira mentions Bloom♥Jewel. Kirara has a huge grudge against the members of that group, and will do everything in her power to crush them.  Her cheerfulness is just an act, and she gets extremely excited about seeing other people, especially Arle, suffer. She loves the idea of suffering and despair. She aims to become top of the idol world to see everyone below her suffer.

### **Secondary Characters**

(金川勇)

CV: Komiya Rio (小宮璃央)

The Manager of Bloom♥Jewel.
