THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS

Uzuki Shimamura is a student with a simple, steadfast dream of becoming an idol. After an early audition ends in disappointment, a producer from 346 Productions approaches her with an unexpected offer: a spot in the newly launched “Cinderella Project.” The catch is that the unit hasn’t been fully formed yet, and the producer still needs to find the right girls to stand alongside her.

His search leads him to Rin Shibuya in the middle of a tense public commotion, where his intervention draws police attention and lands them both in questioning before they’re released. Seizing the moment, he invites Rin to join the project—only to be turned down, leaving him to keep scouting for the remaining members needed to bring the Cinderella Project to life.
