**Height:** 155 cm
**Hometown:** Tokyo, Japan

An easygoing and wholesome girl from Tokyo, Aiko enjoys photography and nature. She enjoys the little things in life amidst the hustle and bustle of living in the city. Due to her carefree disposition and 'soft sister' personality, Aiko doesn't like competition. She enjoys being an idol to make people happy and enjoys the camaraderie with her fellow idols in the production. She has such a calming aura that others feel a sense of serenity when near her.

Even though she enjoys photography, she isn't super serious about it and enjoys it casually. She loves to take walks and photograph nature while on her strolls. Aiko is largely designed around the Mori Girl subculture especially in her choice of clothing.

The U149 in the title refers to the aspiring idols at the center of it all: These small girls are ready to make it big! All under 149 centimeters tall, this group of aspiring pop idols dream of performing for thousands of people. But with zero experience, they’ve got a lot of work to do. Not to mention there’s a distractingly cute prince in town! With the help of their rookie producer, who’s just as short, can they stay focused and make it to the top?
