The gateway to Idol stardom might have opened for the newly formed singing group Wake Up, Girls, but the path to fame is full of perils and pitfalls. And for Mayu, Airi, Minami, Yoshino, Nanami, Kaya and Miyu, it's going to be especially difficult knowing who to trust, as their manager Matsuda's lack of experience could give other, less scrupulous, individuals a chance to take advantage. 
 
That's a situation that quickly comes to a head when Green Leaves' president suddenly disappears with most of the money, and things only get worse when the replacement producer seems more interested in getting the girls into revealing swimsuits than promoting their music. 
 
As malicious gossip begins to surface regarding Mayu's past membership in a rival group, and internal tensions begin to tear the team apart, they'll need more than just ambition to survive. Singing may be a business, but friendship and a love of music is what will keep everything together.

Nanami has the least amount of experience compared to the other members, and she did not have much knowledge of anime culture. Originally she was not interested in anime, but over time she was influenced by the other members little by little.

At first, Nanami did not enjoy voice acting lessons because she was unfamiliar with anime and was not confident in her acting. As her character Hisami Nanami began to develop, she started to enjoy voice acting and began to want to work as an independent voice actress. Since vocal lessons were anime songs as well, she had to work harder since she was unfamiliar with​ the anime songs.

Her favorite voice actress is Rie Kugimiya, since her work in Toradora! was the first time that anime had made her cry. She learned many things from voice acting from Rie Kugimiya's role as Aisaka Taiga.

Green Leaves Entertainment is in the worst situation any Talent Management Agency can be in... they have NO talent! Desperate for an act, President Junko Tange targets the idol singer market and gives her flunky Matsuda his marching orders: get a girl group to manage, even if it means building one from scratch! 
 
Since complete singing groups rarely appear out of thin air, Matsuda's now in the difficult position of having to find girls with the right skills who don't already have contracts with Japan's music industry. That girl at the Maid Café? Good enough! A lead singer who's been fired from another group? Sure, why not? How about one who's only 13 years old? What could possibly go wrong there?
