Synopsis
Continues the story of Revue Starlight
As the Seishou Festival approaches, the 99th class of Seishou Music Academy is immersed in preparations for their performance of Starlight, a poignant story about two deities linked by a celestial light who are fated to remain apart forever. This single-gender school, dedicated to cultivating future theater talents, focuses on training in singing, acting, and dance. Sixteen-year-old Karen Aijou, an easygoing student with a lifelong passion for performing, rediscovers her enthusiasm when her childhood friend Hikari Kagura transfers back to the school. With Hikari's assistance, Karen discovers a hidden elevator that leads to a vast underground theater, run by a talking giraffe. There, students engage in fierce competitions to win the prestigious title of Top Star, which guarantees a lead role in Starlight. Driven by a promise to achieve stardom together, Karen joins these mysterious contests to fulfill their shared dream.

In the bustling halls of Seishou Music Academy, a new group of talented young women marks the start of another lively academic year.

While most students in the Actor Training Department have clear plans after graduation, Karen Aijou remains undecided. Having fulfilled her promise to share the stage with her ambitious childhood friend Hikari Kagura, Karen now finds herself without direction.
