Crunchyroll describes the trapezoid:
Driven by an undying passion to become an idol, Yu Azuma, an ambitious freshman at Joshu East High School, sets out on a journey to form an idol group. In order to make her dream come true, she recruits female students from four high schools in her area (located in the north, east, south, and west) and soon finds her group members.
Joining Yu are Ranko Kashima, a stylish second-year student at Holy Teneritas Southern Girls' Academy, with a distinctive curly hairstyle and a huge admiration for Ochofujin (“Madame Butterfly”); Kurumi Taiga, a student at West Tech Vocational High School, who wears cute, oversized, long-sleeved jackets and dreams of winning a robot-building competition; and Mika Kamei, a student also from Joshu North High School, known for being a kind girl and devoted to volunteering.
With the help of Yu's “collaborator” and confidant Shinji Kudo, these four young women set out to become stars. But the journey is filled with unexpected challenges, demanding demands, setbacks and pressures that threaten to destroy everything Yu has worked so hard to build.
The film opens in Japan on May 10.
Asaki Yuikawa plays the main character Yū Higashi in the film. Hina Yomiya voices the character Kurumi Taiga “Western Star”. Reina Ueda voices the “Southern Star” Ranko Katori. Haruka Aikawa voices Mika Kamei “Northern Star” and is one of Yū Higashi's former elementary school classmates. The film also stars JO1 idol group member Shōya Kimata as Shinji Kudō and Utchan Nanchan's comedy duo Teruyoshi Uchimura as Shūichi Itami.
Masahiro Shinohara (Blend S episode director, Is the order a rabbit?) directs the film at CloverWorks, and Koji Masunari (storyboard for Oshi no Ko, TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You) supervises the film.
