## Description
Our main character is a former music sensation who has recently fallen out of popularity due to a lack of motivation. Just as he’s dwindling out of relevance, he runs into a feisty little girl named Sayaka. Along with her, he’s introduced to several characters new and old.

This is when an opportunity presents itself. Auri, a rising popstar and childhood friend, is trying to build her own record label after having disagreements with her last label. The main character, along with Sayaka, Auri, Lee and Grace, group together to help each other and create a record label!

### Auri Hirano
Likes: Citrus

Backstory: Auri is a dear childhood friend to the main character. Though she may appear feminine on stage, around close friends she's more of a "bro" acting crass and messing around. She rose to recognition as the main character started to lose his footing which caused some tension between them. It's been a while since they last talked and it seems that Auri has a big business opportunity she'd like to include him in.

### Sayaka Kaneshiro
Likes: Anything sweet

Backstory: Sayaka is a short girl with a fiery temper. First meeting the main character by accident, she takes interest in him and eventually decides to stick with him through the record label business. At times she's oddly secretive but it's probably not a good idea to press her for details. Sayaka may seem cute, but you wouldn't like her when she's angry...
