Brief Synopsis
"Starmyu" protagonist Yuta Hoshitani enrolls at Ayanagi Academy, a prestigious music school. Until middle school, he was an ordinary male student attending a regular high school. But one day, he met a high school student he'd never met before, and fell in love with, leading him to choose this path with the sole goal of performing on the same stage as him. On his first day at school, Hoshitani becomes friends with fellow dorm mate Nayuki and finds out that the high school student he admires is in the musical department. To get into the musical department, one must pass a rigorous exam, and in order to follow in his footsteps, he decides to audition for the musical department. The entrance examination is conducted by the school's top organization, the Kao-kai, and as an amateur, Hoshitani naturally does not receive good reviews. However, it seems that Otori Itsuki, a maverick within the Kao-kai, senses something in him, and he is picked up as a member of Team Otori.

The beloved Starmyu protagonist! At first, he wasn't accepted...
Hoshitani Yuta has a very cheerful personality and is a mood maker who puts everyone at ease. He also has an honest and pure side, so much so that he decided to enroll in Ayanagi Academy simply because he wanted to attend the same school as his favorite high school students. At first, he was shunned by his teammates as a beginner, but he perseveres and continues to talk to them and build relationships. At first, there are scenes that seem forced, but his teammates are drawn to Hoshitani's straightforwardness and gradually become close to him.
Hoshitani Enters the Star Slot
Hoshitani successfully passed the entrance exam for the Musical Department, but he ended up in the "Star Slot," a slot reserved for the elite of the Musical Department! He joined "Team Otori," a team selected by the particularly unique Otori Itsuki, a team of elite third-year students. The team members were all unique, including Nayuki, whom he met at the entrance ceremony; Sho Tengenji, a kabuki actor known as the prince of the Kabuki world; Kaito Tsukigami, a thoroughbred from a musical family; and Shu Kuga, a struggling student who also excels at playing the piano. Tennoji and Tsukihime, in particular, seemed initially unhappy about Hoshitani being in the star category.

At first, Tengenji was clearly annoyed by Hoshitani and openly disliked him, but he was actually the first to become friends with him.
He Was Abrasive at First
Tengenji was a kabuki actor known as the prince of the Kabuki world. He was extremely proud and didn't allow anyone to talk to him casually. However, Hoshitani, who is somewhat inept at reading the situation, actively tries to get involved with Tengeji. Even though he was already quite unpopular with them, he was assigned to the same team, which caused Tengeji's anger to reach its peak. When team practice began, Hoshitani's amateurishness became apparent, and Tengeji became enraged. In order to ensure the team's survival, he even asked Hoshitani to leave the team.
One day, Tengeji's beloved cat...
Despite the harsh words, Hoshitani took them with his characteristic positivity. He didn't get depressed, but he continued to practice desperately, determined not to cause trouble for the team. One day, Hoshitani happened to see Tengeji's beloved cat and screamed, as he is afraid of cats. Startled by his voice, the cat ran away into the distance and went missing. Believing that he was the cause of the accident, Hoshitani searched desperately until the early hours of the morning. The cat was eventually found, but this incident led Tengeji to open up to him.

Kaito Tsukigami was born into an elite musical family, and even graduated top of his class at Ayanagi Academy. However, this was a huge burden for Tsukigami. As a result, he had a habit of becoming emotional and becoming extremely angry whenever his brother was mentioned. At that time, Hoshitani sincerely praised Tsukio for having a musical star brother, but Tsukio became angry without any explanation. It was like he'd stepped on a landmine.
One day, a fight broke out
Hoshitani, a beginner, was working hard and trying to catch up with the others. Tsukio, knowing this, dismissed him, saying, "You're just a fool who keeps repeating the same thing over and over again." But Hoshitani still refused to give up. Tsukio, seeing Hoshitani's straightforward and caring attitude, began to change. One day, a member of Team Hiiragi, one of the star teams, started a fight about his brother. Unable to contain his emotions, Tsukio was about to raise his hand. Hoshitani instinctively blocked Tsukio's punch.
Consideration is Conveyed
Hoshitani told Team Hiiragi that he didn't mind being called a loser, but he couldn't stand it when his teammates were insulted. These words gradually lead Tsukimi to trust Hoshitani. Hoshitani cares about his friends and is sometimes more considerate of them than himself.
