The anime takes place 2035 where virtual reality technology has evolved enough that people can experience world travel and other live event experiences from the comfort of their own home. In this space, idols perform live events for a worldwide audience. As worldwide popularity of idols performing in "VR Rooms" increased, the Kanon Private Academy was established on Beginning Island to train new idols. These idols compete and strive to reach the top of the "World Idol League." The anime will focus on the six idols who make up two units "StarRing" and "Shadow."

Top reasons
- Committee renewal track record - Lead committee members (Seven Arcs, Seven Arcs Pictures, Glovision) have a smoothed catalogue continuation rate of 26%, above the catalogue average of 14%
- Committee collaboration history - Titles sharing at least two committee members: 2 of 12 have a catalogued successor (17%), compared with 14% across the catalogue
- Titles like this rarely return - 10 years with no new entry: of short series (first entries) in that position, under 1% got a new season or film within 10 years
Runway
Anime original
This is an anime original, not an adaptation, so there is no source material to run down - renewal turns on sales and popularity rather than runway.
