[edit]Synopsis

The story revolves around three ordinary girls named Asahi, Nami, and Hinata who are aiming to become idols, but they repeatedly fail in their auditions.

    The whole plot sounds amazing. Three girls, who are desperately trying to become idols, witness a crime and become male idols to protect their identity. What doesn't seem funny and dramatic about that? The thing is though, the acting was just so corny and the way the story played out it was so unrealistic. None of the characters are particularly likeable. I love a good gender bender, but this was not one of them. I personally couldn't finish watching it. I gave up, I thought it was so bad. That doesn't mean you shouldn't give it a try, you might like it. I just didn't.

    Persona! Dear Saeko created a cute ikemen trio. Girls look really great in these wigs. Riku hasp redisposition to be the real bish. She woudn't look like a girl if she had that figure and thin voice.

    The end is surprising. I was cheated again! I imagined a tragedy on stage...

    I'm just disappointed that the band had so poor repertoire, because their songs were pretty nice.

    I love how Hinata talks about herself in the 3rd person. I totally do that myself! I know its weird. I am always telling my kids at work, "Ms. Melissa does not hear u unless u raise ur hand." I love it.

    I have only made it to ep. 7 & I have to say this is 1 of the funniest shows I have ever watched. They have the underlying sexual content down to an innocent art. Even when it is being screamed out in ur face it is still funny. I'm not sure wat the story is aiming at but its funny so far.
