High schooler Akira was raised as the heir of Kikunoyu, a sento bathhouse run by his grandfather and mother. He always had dreams of becoming a hero. But he quit baseball, which he'd been playing since he was young, and spent his days going to karaoke after school with his childhood friend Kacchan. One day, Kacchan receives an email from the idol talent agency sMiLea Production on a recommendation from the legendary idol Anela. Although Akira has no relation to it, it seems that he might be involved...
Akira is unable to hide his surprise that he was singer KIKUNOYU, but decides to try his hand at being an idol. When visiting the agency office, he is told he'll be in an idol group with singers EVAN (Banri) and Suzu (Chihiro). On their way home, Banri, wearing a mask and sunglasses and dressed suspiciously from head to toe, suddenly gets frightened and hides when Chihiro reaches out for his mask. There seems to be a reason for his suspicious getup──?!
Banri had a complex about his face and hid it. But after singing with Akira and Chihiro at the bathhouse Kikonoyu, the singers became closer, and he was able to show his true face. With vocal and dance lessons ahead of their debut, the three decide to see and learn from LEGIT's live performance. However, at the time, it didn't seem like LEGIT was preparing for the concert while Daiki and Eishiro argued as Fuga stared on...
At the live performance, Akira is moved by the presence of Daiki, who looks like the main character of Akira's favorite hero anime, "Crossfire." Revved up, Akira and his group get inspired for their lessons, but the dance lessons particularly seem hopeless. Later, it's decided that the three of them will get to participate in a commercial shoot as LEGIT's backup dancers. Although there's not much time before filming begins, LEGIT gives them one-on-one dance lessons. Akira, who fretfully practices yet makes little progress, begins feeling impatient and makes a proposal to Banri and Chihiro.
Akira's group is relieved to make it through the commercial shoot without any problems when Lin immediately informs them that their debut has been set. At the same time the three are busy with shoots and interviews, Anela features in an up-close and personal program focusing from now up until their retirement. Various thoughts and memories come back to the surface, including the day Lin and Maoto decided to retire and the establishment of sMiLea Production.
