The visual features the protagonist Serina Akesaka with her band members, clicking a selfie during their rehearsals. The band is called Irodorimidori and consists of Serina, Aliciana Ogata, Nazuna Tennouzu, Nagi Kobotoke, and Naru Hakobe.
Serina is the typical musical anime protagonist who’s always energetic, supportive, and hyping everyone up, but she lacks in her studies and grades.
So naturally, when she heard of the extra credits rumor, Serina began to put together the Irodorimidori band and started working towards the performance of the year.
