Hanasaki Academy

**Hanasaki Academy** is an all-girls school that focuses on bringing out the true idol in one's self. The current headmistress and founder is Hanasaki Masami. The girls that attend take numerous classes and participate in auditions using their Aikatsu cards. All girls that attend must have proper manners and etiquette, or at least when the headmistress and teachers are around. This school allows girls to attend from first year middle school up to last year high school.

## Appearance

### Exterior (Front View)

Hanasaki Academy's exterior is a sight to behold. It looks almost like a castle pulled out of a fairytale, with a moat surrounding it, a bridge that spreads over the moat, A door at the end of the bridge, and a few towers (which are actually dorms for only the best and admired students). The academy is white with a few gold accents and plenty of windows.

### Exterior (Sky View)

Become a bird and you'll see just how big and maze-like Hanasaki Academy is. Once you enter the door you would see a big courtyard (see track). Around the courtyard are four big buildings with walls connecting them, four towers at each corner of the walls holding up the school, doors to enter the buildings, and many windows. There are some bridges on the second, third, and fourth floors leading from one building to another and staircases on the outside leading from one floor to another.

### Concert Hall

There is a big stage in the room with hundreds of seats in the audience. Behind the stage is the dressing room, which contains a few Aikatsu machines. The Concert Hall is for the school's auditions.

### Towers

Each tower is identical, with their own bathrooms, dance room, bedroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, soundproof singing room, and four floors that contain all of these rooms. On the first floor is a bathroom and living room. The second floor has a bathroom, kitchen, and dining room. The third floor has a bathroom, the soundproof singing room, and the dance room. and finally on the fourth floor, we have the big master bedroom and another bathroom. The master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, a queen-sized bed the idol sleeps in, and a big window with curtains, that has a little area under the window for whatever you want to use it for; reading, reviewing lyrics for a song, sleeping when you can't sleep in the bed or you want to sleep by a window, or just looking out at the entire school.

### Dance Studios

There are identical dance studios at each building. Mirrors are all around the room except for the back wall. There are bars for stretching, warm-ups, and balancing on either side of the long walls of the room. The room is very spacious, and has a little table in the corner that has a radio sitting on top of it. The radio will play any Aikatsu song from the internet once you type in the name of the song. You can choose between an instrumental or someone singing it. There is also a shelf at the back wall to put your stuff at, and a little room for changing that you can lock and unlock next to it. The floors are hardwood and the walls are off-white. There are lights on the ceiling that will automatically turn on when the sun is about to set.

### Cafeteria

The cafeteria is where the idols get all their meals. This room is only in two of the four buildings. The tables are wooden along with the chairs. The room is filled with these tables and chairs, with quite a bit of room between them for a few idols to walk in a horizontal line to a table.

### Track

The big courtyard in the middle of the four buildings is the track. There are tracks and a big patch of grass where idols run laps and exercise. Idols will exercise here in the hot summer sun or on a cold winters day. In the middle of the green patch of grass is a little hangout area under shelter and a fountain, showing the four symbols of the four types of idols on the sides of the fountain.

### Classrooms

Depending on the class, the classrooms appearances vary (see classes).

## Classes

These are the classes that Hanasaki Academy has. The best idol in each class is awarded with Aikatsu cards by the end of each semester.

### Dancing Class

Takes place in a bigger version of the dance studios, with more changing rooms and places for the idol to put their stuff. The goal of this class is to turn the idols into dancing swans, light on their feet and perfect in moves.

### Singing Class

Takes place in a soundproof singing room, with a few microphones if the idol is going to use one. Most of the time they will not, but if specially requested by the teacher they will. There is a piano that the teacher will play for the student to match their voices to it. The goal of this class is to make the idols if not pitch perfect as close as they can get to it.

### Acting Class

Takes place in a large room with a machine at the back wall. The machine will project an image and make the whole room look like the certain setting the idol is acting in. If acting as a princess, the setting would be projected as a castle or something. The goal of this class is to prepare the idols to become wonderful actors.

### Modeling Class

Takes place in a room with a stage and long runway, where the idol would practice their modeling skills. Spotlights hang at the ceiling above for the idol. The goal of this class is to turn idols into supermodels.

### Designing Class

Takes place in a large room with many tables, chairs, and sewing machines. Once a student completes an outfit, they are to be given to the teacher, and by the next day they will have their outfits back as Aikatsu cards. The goal of this class is to help young designers become fully fledged in designing.

### Fashion Class

Takes place in a large room with multiple outfits. Most idols take this class for fun, but the designers that take the class are sometimes really serious about it. The student is given certain tops, bottoms, shoes, and accessories by the teacher and have to form your own outfit out of them. The purpose of this class is to help idols form good coords and to help designers design coords that go well together.

### Manners and Etiquette Class

Required of all students in the first year of attending, though some do not like it. There is a mini dining part for table manners practice, a studying session where you read in your *A Guide to Manners and Etiquette* book along with your teacher, a white board behind the teacher, and the students must follow all rules of manners and etiquette in class. **Especially** knocking on the door before you enter class and wait for the teacher to say you can come in, as almost all the students have trouble with this. The purpose of this class, which is pretty straightforward, is to teach the students manners and etiquette as it is required in the school.
