High School Star Musical (Starmyu)

"STARMYU"

This is Ayanagi Academy!

"Act 1"

"This is a work of fiction and is not related to any existing persons, groups, or names."

Here's fine. At this rate, you two'll be late...

Well, see you later.

"Popular Music Club"

Hey, have you decided what club you'll join yet?

Move. Don't stand in front of me acting so familiar, you boor.

"Haruto Tsukigami | Musical King Edward" "News flash! Performance this fall!"

Hey, that's Haruto Tsukigami's...

Oh, he is...?

"Drama Club Accepting Applications"

Excuse m... huh?

Are you okay?

Th-Thanks...

You have an unusual name... How do you pronounce it?

It's "Nayuki"... "Toru Nayuki."

"Student ID | Toru Nayuki" "Birthday: January 23 | Class: 1-A" "This is proof the above is a student at this school." "Ayanagi Academy (Private)"

Nayuki, huh? I'm Yuta Hoshitani.

Hoshitani? You have an unusual name, too.

I guess...

Anyway, nice to meet you.

Yeah, nice to meet you.

Wh-What's that?

It's the musical department.

Hm?

Their grand entrance...

Wh-What should I do...?

Nayuki, what's all the fuss about?

Hoshitani, you don't know?

They're the third-year stars of Ayanagi Academy

who reign as the top of the musical department...

They're the Kao Council!

"Kao Council"

The Kao Council...?

That emblem is...

The musical department...

Was that a department we could apply for?

Hoshitani, you really don't know?!

Huh?

Shh!

--New students, congratulations on your matriculation.

-To get into the musical department,

--you have to pass an entrance audition after you get into the school.

--Seeing you walk, full of hope, under the cherry blossoms in full bloom,

-"Entrance audition"?

--Yeah. It's customary for the Kao Council members to adjudicate them themselves. --reminds me of myself two years ago.

--In your new lives that you are about to begin, not only my expectations, but...

-Which means...

-There's still time!

-Huh?

D-Don't tell me you're going to apply right now?

"Musical Department Audition Application"

Yeah!

When did he...?

But, but, it's really hard, you know.

Nayuki, you're not gonna apply?

Th-There's no way I'd make it...

You don't know that.

--Huh? --Before I decided to apply for Ayanagi Academy, I'd only taken school music classes.

But I'm here now.

You won't know what'll happen unless you try.

Right?

Hoshitani, you're a little different from other people, huh?

In a good way!

If it's him, I'm sure...

So, Nayuki--

When's the audition?

It's right after this.

Huh?

Seriously...?

"Tsubasa Hiragi | Sakuya Sazanami Kyoji Akatsuki | C. Lion Yuzuriha | Itsuki Otori"

Now, how many will be coming this year?

"Name | Dept. | Overall Rank | Pass/Fail" "Kaito Tsukigami | Instrumental | SS" "Yuta Hoshitani | Vocal | D" "Izumi Toraishi | Vocal | S"

You're more interested than I expected, Otori.

Oh hello, Prince Hiragi.

Are you the one who ranked everyone?

You're overly serious about work, as usual, huh?

There will be many people coming, so it is more efficient to sort them in advance.

Nonsense!

That's not beautiful.

You wouldn't understand.

The way the Kao Council does things has never agreed with me.

From today on, you are also a member of that Kao Council--

As the top star of the newly established fifth team.

I don't understand why, though.

Why me?

I've been a problem child since my first year,

and I wasn't even on a Star Team--

You failed on purpose, didn't you?

This was decided by the chairman.

I see.

If it was what Grandfather decided, then there's no helping it.

Well, now that I'm here, I'll be having fun with this in my own way.

I don't know if I'll be able to live up to your expectations, though.

"Musical Department Entrance Auditions"

Take a deep breath.

Let's go!

All the students here are auditioning?

There are a lot of students who are not from the vocal music department that we're in, too.

As expected of those in the star department. All their eyes seem to be shining...

"PR Club"

Look, it's Kakeru Tengenji.

Huh?

Tengenji? He's in our class, right...?

He's wearing a kimono like a kabuki actor.

Not "like"--He is a kabuki actor.

What?!

Haven't you heard of the "young noble of the kabuki world"?

Tengenji, may I take a picture?

Of course not. Go through my agency.

Early reviews say you're a shoo-in for a Star Team?

That's a silly question.

If the Star Teams are the top of Ayanagi Academy,

then of course I will be there, you boor.

Oh? Kaito Tsukigami!

Tsukigami, did your brother say anything about you getting admitted to Ayanagi Academy

at the top of the class?

No comment.

Please, just one sentence, Tsukigami?

Tengenji!

Huh?!

You're auditioning, too? Let's all work hard.

I'm not someone commoners like you can talk to so familiarly.

Go be born again with more status, you boor.

I wonder if Tengenji's nervous, too...

I don't think that's it... But I can't believe you talked to him.

Well, he's our classmate!

That's why?!

More importantly, what was the "Star Team" the PR club was talking about earlier?

Oh, that's--

We will now begin the entrance auditions for the musical department.

Those auditioning should quickly make their way to their designated exam room.
