    Synopsis:

    In a near-future Japan grappling with systemic societal decay – economic disparity, environmental degradation, and governmental inaction – a new form of political engagement emerges. The rise of idol political parties offers a vibrant, unconventional approach to addressing national issues. These performers transition from the entertainment industry to represent their constituents in the National Diet, leveraging their popularity and artistic skills to advocate for change.

    The series follows these "idol representatives" as they navigate the complexities of parliamentary politics, employing music and performance to connect with the public and challenge entrenched power structures. It explores themes of civic engagement, the power of popular culture as a political tool, and the potential for optimistic solutions in the face of widespread disillusionment. The narrative blends political satire with musical elements, presenting a unique commentary on contemporary Japanese society.
