Seven boys reunite to become an idol group: IDOLiSH7! Along with their clumsy manager, they'll try to become the best in Japan.

Yuuya, one half of the boy pop duo ZINGS, may be the laziest performer in the Japanese music industry. His partner is out there giving 110% every night (and, thankfully, he's quite popular), but Yuuya's half-assed, sloppy dancing, and his frankly hostile attitude toward the audience, has the fans hating him and his agent looking for any excuse to cut him loose. The career of a pop idol just isn't the path of easy leisure and adulation Yuuya expected... After a particularly lifeless concert appearance, Yuuya meets a girl backstage. She's dressed to the nines in a colorful outfit, she's full of vim and vigor, and all she wants from life is to perform. There's just one problem: She's been dead for a year. This is the ghost of Asahi Mogami, the beloved singer whose time on the stage was tragically cut short, unless... If ghosts are real, is spirit possession really that much of a stretch?

The idol industry is notoriously rigorous, but for individuals who can wield magic to elevate their performances, fame comes easily. With the public's strong preference for them, these idols are called "tier one," while those without powers are "tier two." One such unfortunate group is Star One. Despite having the financial support to propel them to stardom, they failed to manifest magical powers before becoming adults, causing even their company to lose faith in them. As the tier two group struggles to remain in the limelight, an unidentified terrorist organization begins targeting and murdering tier one groups for reasons unknown. When Star One's ever-hopeful members—Soule, Eugene, Taho, Viken, and Avys—fill a last-minute vacant spot at a tier one idols' show, they find themselves in the eye of the terrorists' attack. As the situation escalates, Soule unleashes his magical abilities for the first time and saves everyone. With this miraculous turn of events, the boys are given another chance to excel in the idol industry; they are assigned a capable trainer specialized in awakening and controlling one's magical powers. However, the terrorists suspect Star One to be "boys of destiny" fated to save the world—and swear on destroying them for good. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
