Idols in parliament singing policy into existence sounds absurd until you realize the show commits completely to the bit. It treats the premise with dead seriousness: real political gridlock, real corruption, real stakes, solved by girls in formation. The joke is that it actually works better than the alternative.
In an alternate Japan, the government has lost touch with its people, and traditional politics has failed. Idols step in as the answer. These pop stars don't just perform on stages anymore. They take seats as Diet members, using their music and charisma to lift the spirits of a struggling nation. They belong to seven parties: the Heroine Party, SOS Party, Subculture New Party, Bishōjo Party, Wakaba Party, Starlight Party, and Sanrai Party. The idol government was founded over two decades ago by the beloved idol Mikazuki Kagura, who has led it ever since. When she abruptly announces her retirement from politics, the 47 idol Diet members begin competing to become the next Prime Minister. Song and dance are central to this music series, set against a backdrop of economic trouble and political distrust.
