Aikatsu!

At Starlight Academy, a prestigious private school for aspiring celebrities, students train hard to prove that an idol’s shine can inspire people everywhere. Beneath the school’s demanding admissions standards is a place where young performers chase big goals—and make some of their most unforgettable memories along the way.

Aoi Kiriya is convinced of that promise. With her best friend Ichigo by her side, she sets her sights on Starlight Academy, hoping to grow into the kind of idol worthy of the admiration they feel for the world-famous Mizuki Kanzaki. As the two navigate auditions and lessons, they also face the laughter, friendships, and heartbreak that come with pursuing the spotlight.

Daily life at the academy brings plenty of surprises, from seasonal antics like chopping down Christmas trees to physical challenges such as obstacle courses and rock climbing, keeping their journey lively even as their ambitions grow.
