■Straight Edge Kazuma Miki, Representative Director Comments
This work, "Shine Post" is a new series from Dengeki Bunko, a fully-fledged manga series from the Dengeki Bunko "Do you only like me?" duo, Rakuda-san and Tiniki-san, which will be adapted into an anime in 2019!
This story is filled with "sparkles" of girls who dream of becoming idols, and is hot, sad, and funny at the same time! The key words in this story are "lies" and "promises" exchanged between the main character, a boy, and his idols. What kind of changes will these "lies" and "promises" bring about in the idols who sweat and work hard toward their dreams? Will the girls be able to reach the "shining beacon"-the Shine Post? Find out in the Dengeki Bunko!

Producer Akihiro Ishihara, Konami Digital Entertainment comments
There are 100 idols and 100 dramas. There are 100 idols, 100 drama, 100 supporting staff, and 100 cheering fans. The drama woven between people is the theme of this work. The story of idols overcoming various hardships and suffering to achieve their dreams has been made into the ultimate idol entertainment, and will be delivered in the form of novels, music, animation, and video games.
Now, for the game we are working on, we will spotlight the stories of various idols other than the idol unit "TINGS" to create a completely new idol development game experience where you can enjoy your own idol development, story and music.
We cannot announce the details yet, but we are working hard to create a game that will incorporate the latest technology while taking it to the next level, so please look forward to it.

Yohei Kisara, producer of StrayCats comments
The story of the new idols is about to begin, and we have spent a great deal of time discussing the musical world of this game.
We have spent a lot of time discussing the music world of the new idols' story, and we hope that the music will move the hearts of the listeners as much as possible, while overlapping with the stories of each idol,
We would like to create a live stage that embodies this musical world with all our hearts.

The title of the song is omitted in the original text.

The members of "TINGS" and the character voice cast were announced!

＜Comments by Sayumi Suzushiro

Q1: What is your impression of this movie?
No matter how much you smile, I think everyone has some kind of worries or feelings inside that they keep to themselves.
I think everyone, no matter how smiling they may be, has some worries or feelings that they keep to themselves inside. Each character in this work has such worries, problems, and conflicts, and I felt a sense of closeness when I read it. I thought it was very human. The novel setting, the adorable characters struggling to achieve their goals, the simple and easy-to-understand storyline, and the fun that makes you want to see more and more of the story.
I was drawn into this work at once.

Q2: What is your impression of the character and your enthusiasm for the role?
When I first saw Haru-chan, I had the impression that she was a serious and calm girl like her older sister. (laugh) I felt that she was a wonderful girl who was always positive and cheerful and could cheer up everyone around her. However, Haru-chan had her own thoughts and feelings that she was holding in her heart...
I will play the role with great care, while staying close to Haru-chan's feelings.
It's really cool to see a girl who is just working hard and straight toward her goal!
Please watch everyone's growth and development!

Anatsu Tamaki (CV: Moe Kanizawa/≠ME)

A member of "TiNgS". She supports "TiNgS" with her stable singing and dancing ability. She has a calm personality that does not match her cute appearance, and sometimes makes harsh comments to the members and Naoki.

<Moeko Kanizawa's comment> Q1.

Q1: What is your impression of this film?
As the name "Shine Post" suggests, I thought this work would be a "shining beacon" that would deliver the charm of idols to many people in the future.
As the story is about an idol aiming for the big stage, there are many overlaps with myself, and I think there are many things I can learn from this work.
It is a very sparkling story filled with the brilliance, conflict, friendship, and courage of "idols.
I am very happy to be able to go forward with the characters from now on.
I want to grow together with them.

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about the role?
My first impression of the character Tamaki Anatsu is that she is like an idol honor student. However, the more I get to know her, the more I realize that she has many cute human-like parts that I can't help but love.
This is my first time to try my hand at voice acting, and in order to live as Tamaki Anatsu in this work, I want to know her better than anyone else, and I want to love her.
I would like to play this character as if my encounter with her is my first and last destiny.
Anatsu is an idol, so I hope that there will be many fans who will think, "I love Tamaki Anatsu more than her!" I will do my best so that there will be many fans who will think, "I like Tamaki Anatsu more than her!

Rio Seimai (CV: Yuko Natsuyoshi)

A member of "TiNgS". He is a very well-behaved person with unfounded and absolute self-confidence. On the other hand, his overly honest personality often leads him to be easily fooled.

＜Comments by Yuko Natsuyoshi

Q1: What was your impression of this work?
I thought it would be a royal idol story, but it is different in two ways!
The growth of the quirky "TiNgS" is hot!
As I had lessons with the cast members and imagined Rio's feelings, I felt as if I was gradually becoming a part of the story, which made me very nervous!

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about the role?
She is honest, outgoing, and helpless, but she is super confident!
She is very cute and inspiring to watch! Laughs.
I will try my best to bring out Rio's "good points" in both the recording and the live performance!

Gionji Yukine (CV: Rimo Hasegawa)

She is a hot-blooded girl who works with Momiji in a unit called "Yukimoji. Both of her parents are well-known actors, and she herself has excellent acting ability.

＜Comments from Romo Hasegawa

Q1: What was your impression of this film?
When I first came into contact with this story, I thought it was a very human work.
Sparkling idol content. That in itself may not be particularly unusual.
But every girl has an element that is not straightforward, and when the manager-chan appears, the hearts that were covered by many filters are gradually laid bare and the armor is taken off.
I felt very close to the girls as human beings, and I felt I caught a glimpse of a drama that was different from the others. I am looking forward to seeing more of this work as we delve deeper into it...!

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and your enthusiasm for the role?
The more I put on a mask, the further away from my true self I get... My first impression was, "Yukine, aren't you lonely?
She dares to be hot-blooded and act cool. She is a girl who wears many layers of masks for the sake of someone else and to meet the ideals of those around her.
But if you delve deeper, you will find that she has a girlishness appropriate for her age, a kind heart, and a way of looking at others carefully.
I felt that she is a girl who understands people's feelings because she has experienced various feelings.
It will be a big challenge for me to play the role of Yukine, but I hope you will join me on a journey of self-discovery with the lovely and clumsy Yukine.

Beniyo Ito (CV: Rika Nakagawa)

She belongs to the entertainment agency "Brightest" and performs with Yukine in a unit called "Yukimoji.
Her dancing skills are top-notch, but according to Rio, she is at the level of a "shivering idiot" (?). Rika Nakagawa is a member of "Yukine" and "Yukimoji" unit.

<Rika Nakagawa's comment> Q1.

Q1: What is your impression of this work?
This work depicts the struggles and efforts of girls who burn with their lives as "idols," but at the same time, I feel that it is a "story about everyone. No matter how sparkling a person may look, behind that person's radiance there is always the struggle of struggling in solitude, troubled by ideals and reality, and the efforts to overcome those struggles.
I myself was strongly encouraged by the fact that there is surely a light that can only be grasped by those who keep running and never give up until they reach their dreams. I would like to run with you all as fast as I can until the day I catch the light, so that this work will be a shining beacon, a "Shine Post" for you!

Q2: What is your impression of the character and your enthusiasm for the role?
When I first saw Momiji's profile at the audition, I felt that I had to protect her.
She is so good-natured and energetic that people think she has no worries, but in fact, she cares about the members more than anyone else. She is a kind girl who hates to leave anyone alone and always tries to be close to others.
I can understand Momiyo's worries behind her cheerful personality, which I can understand because she is similar to me in some ways, and I feel that I have to take it all in and love any Momiyo I can.
And now, I want to be there to support Momiji at the moment she shines!
