Idol Days

Idol Days is a love-adventure game about a young producer training Tsubaki Akanesaki, a delinquent girl who becomes an idol. After she refuses his offer to join an underground idol group, she is hired as staff at the Akihabara-based agency where he works, and he is assigned to supervise her. With nowhere to live, Tsubaki ends up sharing his home.

Story

The protagonist’s boss asks him to find new idols, but he struggles to find girls with the talent he has in mind. One day, he hears Tsubaki singing while feeding cats in a park. Her delicate song and powerful voice move him, but she calls his scouting offer stupid and disappears.

The next day, the protagonist learns that the agency’s sponsor’s daughter has joined the staff and that he will train her. She turns out to be Tsubaki, the granddaughter of a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. She has been fired from several jobs after getting into fights, though her strong sense of justice keeps her from bullying the weak or becoming involved in crime. Her appearance and manner of speaking often lead people to misjudge her.

Without dreams or ambitions of her own, Tsubaki drifts through life and secretly envies people who pursue their passions. She is looking for something she can devote herself to. As she sees idols shine on stage, she gradually becomes interested in the work, though what happens next is left open.
