    Set against the backdrop of Sendai, Japan, "Wake Up, Girls!" follows the journey of seven young women as they navigate the demanding world of idol performance. Forming the group "Wake Up, Girls! (WUG)" under the guidance of Green Leaves Entertainment, they strive for recognition and success within a competitive industry. The series chronicles their struggles to gain popularity, particularly after a significant victory at a national festival, highlighting the contrast between initial triumph and the realities of a fluctuating idol market.
