Three minutes and it does what a full cour sometimes can't: it makes you believe Mirai Kasuga is going to get there. This is the prologue MILLIONSTARS fans waited years for, dropped at AnimeJapan 2022 as proof that Million Live! was finally moving from stage and app to screen. There's no arc here, no conflict, just a girl imagining a future in lights while the song carries every beat of it, which is exactly why it lands. The music is the script, and the animation exists to serve it, not the other way around. Light, warm, zero heavy themes, the kind of thing you rewatch before a live because it puts you in the right headspace. If you've ever counted down to a 765 Million Allstars set, that opening image of Mirai already has you.

Mirai Kasuga dreams of becoming an idol and pictures the future that could await her. Set to the MILLIONSTARS song "Seven Count," this single animated music video works as a prologue image piece for the TV anime The IDOLM@STER Million Live!, and it was first unveiled at AnimeJapan 2022. It is a short fantasy-tinged glimpse of her hopes. It works best for viewers who respond to music and imagery working in concert.
