Wake Up, Girls!

2014–2018 · 2 seasons

A grounded, earnest look at chasing a dream through an industry that can be harsh, with small victories that feel earned.

Overview: The gateway to Idol stardom might have opened for the newly formed singing group Wake Up, Girls, but the path to fame is full of perils and pitfalls. And for Mayu, Airi, Minami, Yoshino, Nanami, Kaya and Miyu, it's going to be especially difficult knowing who to trust, as their manager Matsuda's lack of experience could give other, less scrupulous, individuals a chance to take advantage.
How it feels: Earnest, warm, melancholic and satirical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Ambition, friendship, identity, work
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
