Dropout Idol Fruit Tart (2020)

In the vibrant heart of Tokyo, high school student, Ino Sakura, carries her dreams of stardom, hoping to bloom in the city's bustling entertainment industry. She finds more than she bargains for when she is ushered into the Mouse Dormitory, a once illustrious haven now home to prodigies whose stars have faded. Among these are Roko Sekino, a former child actress caught in a web of nostalgia, Hayu Nukui, an erstwhile musician haunted by melodies of her past, and Nina Maehara, a lapsed fashion designer whose fabric of creativity has frayed. As Sakura grapples with their indifference to her ambition, an imminent threat casts a shadow over their lives. The Mouse Dormitory faces demolition due to dwindling school budgets. However, Ino Sakura, fueled by her relentless spirit, hatches a grand maneuver. Rallying her cadre of misfit prodigies, she forms an idol group named 'Fruit Tart'. Their mission? To ignite the stage and raise enough money to save their beloved dormitory. But this is not just about survival. Each day, within the quirky corners of Nezumisou, the girls engage in a fierce competition, driven by their shared dream of reclaiming their lost glory and making their mark in the cutthroat world of entertainment. From practicing gravure poses in solitude, nurturing secret dreams of domestic bliss, to finding hope in seemingly hopeless days, the girls pour their hearts into honing their skills. Together, they strive to transform into the famous models, idols, and singers they once were or aspire to be. In this kaleidoscope of dreams and reality, Dropout Idol Fruit Tart waves the banner of resilience and ambition, painting a colorful story of friendship, hope, and the exhilarating journey to stardom.
