Yūta Hoshiya enters Ayana Academy, a school focusing on show business activities, specifically music. The academy has a group of the three students with the highest grades in the musical department, and they are known as the Kao Kai (Cherry Blossom Flower Association). This organization stands at the top of the pecking order within the academy. The shortcut to entering the musical department is to enter the Star Frame class, which is directly taught by the members, and to be recognized by them. Unfortunately, due to their own problems, students Tōru, Kaito, Shō, Shū, and Yūta are all struggling to even remain candidates for the musical department. By a stroke of luck, however, the five are spotted by Kao Kai member Ōtori, and they pique his interest.

Starmyu
Starmyu is yet another idol-focused anime that revolves around a group of five high school boys rejected for their school's musical department and become coached by one of the school's student council members to learn to work together as a team and improve their skills to remain candidates for the musical department. Like many titles of its ilk, this series only exists to glamorize the idol industry with many characters limited in depth to be stuck with simple archetypes, the student council existing as sort of antagonists to conflict with the growth that Team Otori gain, and the cast conveniently consisting mostly of attractive young men to appeal to female audiences. There are musical segments in a number of episodes shown, though they seemed to exist only to pad out the runtime of the episodes they were featured in and were nothing remarkable beyond generic J-Pop tunes. Overall, Starmyu's just yet another idol-focused anime trying too hard to glamorize this element of Japan's entertainment industry.
