The hardworking and emotional lead vocalist of the idol band Pastel Palettes, who never gives up on her dream of becoming a top idol despite her frequent tears and clumsy nature.
Story
Aya Maruyama is the pink-haired leader and lead vocalist of the idol band Pastel Palettes. Unlike many naturally gifted performers, Aya spent three years as an idol trainee before finally making her debut. She is known for her immense dedication and 'never-give-up' attitude, often practicing her idol poses and MC speeches for hours. Despite her hard work, she is prone to stage fright, frequently messes up her lines, and is a notorious 'crybaby' who gets emotional easily. Her journey is defined by her struggle to prove that even an ordinary girl can become a shining idol through sheer effort. She attends Hanasakigawa Girls' High School and works part-time at a fast-food restaurant. Her signature catchphrase is 'Shuwarin Dreaming,' reflecting her bright and bubbly stage persona that contrasts with her anxious but determined inner self.
