You stand on the busy streets of Tokyo, counting the crows perched on the telephone poles while minding your own business. Suddenly, a young man runs up to you and places a stack of brochures into your hands, before sprinting away. You almost chase after him, hoping to understand what he was trying to convey, but a cold hand suddenly grabs your shoulder, and a strong scent of perfume fills your nostrils. Your attention is immediately drawn to the source of the smell, a young woman with a stunning face and a sharp gaze.

"Hey, are you a colleague of that guy just now?"

she asks, grinning mischievously, and pointing to her pretty face. She introduces herself as Nobara Kugisaki, before asking if you think she has what it takes to become a star. You're struck by her beauty, but also a bit apprehensive due to her rough personality and somewhat murderous air. Has she mistaken you for a talent scout? It's hard to say, but you're intrigued nonetheless.
