The Idolmaster series has now become a pioneer of idol anime and has shown various developments. Its origins lie in 765 Production (Namco Productions). Without the story of 765 Productions, there would be no Idolmaster as we know it today. Today we will introduce Amami Haruka, the center of the 765 Productions idols and central to the story.

Always cheerful and energetic! Amami Haruka

Her trademark is the ribbon on her head, and she is a girl who always behaves cheerfully. She is a genuine and energetic idol who says that the reason she wanted to become an idol is because she "loves to sing." She is a character who cares about her friends and is loved by everyone. However, she doesn't have any outstanding abilities or characteristics as an idol, and she's also a bit of a clumsy girl who often trips over nothing. Even when she does trip, she keeps smiling and laughs shyly, and even uses falling over for no reason as a weapon, making her an idol who follows the traditional path.

Although she is a traditional idol, she doesn't have any particularly outstanding features. She isn't a very good singer, and her dancing is average. However, he works hard to break down these barriers, and is also considerate, always keeping an eye on what is going on around him, supporting other members, and maintaining a good atmosphere. Even though it takes two hours by train from his office in Tokyo to his home, he goes to his high school in the city early every morning, then goes straight to the office and goes home, putting in the hard work every day. He's a hard worker who will do his best if it's for his dreams.
Does a wise man hide his claws? Haruka Amami's talents
Delicious sweets and delicious food

Haruka's hobby is making sweets, and she often gives her homemade sweets to the members of her agency. She has a reputation for being delicious among the members, and her baking skills are excellent (Miki says she could become a proper confectioner). She's not only good at baking, she's also good at cooking. When she appeared on a cooking show, she showed off her amazing knife skills and came up with one dish after another. When Chihaya accidentally put sauce in her meat and potatoes, she quickly adapted it into a "Western-style meat and potatoes" - she's extremely good at both baking and cooking.
Solid acting skills

She's average at singing and dancing, but her acting skills are excellent. During the filming of "Mujin Gattai Kisaragi", starring 765 Pro, Haruka plays the enemy executive "His Excellency Hallstein". Her acting wowed the director and revealed her hidden talent. After that, she was cast in a musical, where she was given the lead role over fellow performer Miki, and her acting was well-received, which gave her a big boost in winning that year's "Idol Award" (a sort of fan vote for all idols). When it comes to acting, she is probably the best in 765 Pro.

Although she doesn't have outstanding skills compared to the other members, Haruka is always cheerful and considerate of those around her, making her a leader among the 765 Pro members. During lessons, she is cheerful and fun, livening up the atmosphere, and when they form a circle and shout out a cheer before a live performance, it is Haruka who starts it off. Even when the producer gets impatient and tries to get results but ends up failing miserably, Haruka trusts him and encourages him, and when Chihaya can no longer sing and says she wants to quit being an idol, Haruka takes the lead and becomes the key to Chihaya's comeback. Haruka is the one who always thinks about and supports everyone, and cherishes her friends.
Haruka Amami's suffering and conflict

However, Haruka also experienced setbacks. The 765 Pro members became so popular that they were too busy to play, and they began to miss each other. She could no longer live her daily life coming to the office, chatting with everyone, and taking lessons. Haruka understood that this was the popular idol they had hoped for, but deep down she strongly felt that she did not want to be separated from everyone. Because of this, she was unable to talk to anyone about her situation and struggled alone, gradually becoming darker and more depressed. Then, a certain incident caused her to be unable to recover.
Amami Haruka's Ideal Image

When Haruka took a break from her idol activities, it was none other than the members of 765 Pro who extended a helping hand. The bonds of 765 Pro that Haruka supported and desperately held together now saved her. Being idols together and having fun and getting along with everyone... it may seem naive for a professional, but Haruka's ideals of not giving up and working hard as an idol motivated everyone and saved 765 Pro, which was on the verge of falling apart. Haruka's ideal is to be an idol who gives her all in both her work and her friendships.

765 Pro's New Year Live was a success, and 765 Pro regained their bond once again. The next stage was the arena live. The members invited dancers from outside to take part in their first large-scale live, and Haruka was officially appointed as the leader. However, practice doesn't go as expected, and the success of the live performance is in jeopardy. When one of the dancers asks Haruka, "Why are you the leader?", Haruka loses confidence again. Although Haruka realizes that she cannot continue practicing "together with everyone" as before, having seen 765 Pro overcome difficulties, she resolves to perform the live performance with everyone together, as before, without missing a single member. In the end, the live performance is a great success, and Haruka has grown into a true leader.
Ideal type of idol: Amami Haruka

Haruka Amami is a hard worker who cares for her friends, and although she doesn't have any outstanding abilities as an idol, she is good at making sweets and is clumsy, making her the perfect protagonist idol. As the center of 765 Pro, Haruka is considerate and always tries to be cheerful, so you could say that the office is always bright. Sometimes she is lost and worried about her path, but she grows step by step, which is the very essence of 765 Pro, which rose from a small production company to popularity in one fell swoop, and it can be said that she embodies one of the themes depicted in "The Idolmaster". It is precisely because of this that Haruka is full of charm that makes you want to support her.
