Synopsis
Sisters Fū and Rui have drifted apart. One day, each encounters a mysterious spacecraft that grants them magical powers. Their new abilities let them transform into the adult idols they’ve always dreamed of becoming—under two strict conditions: the magic lasts only one year, and no one may discover their secret. Unaware of each other’s powers, the sisters embark on parallel idol careers.
