Hello, this is my first non-mainstream anime fanfic of one of my favourite anime franchises: Pretty Rhythm.
This fic will be an Alternate Universe, where there will be a new cast of characters, and references to the original series (Aurora Dream, Dear My Future, and All Star Selection.)
However, there will be also fictional versions of real life celebrities, even their real names will be slightly altered.
Synopsis:
In this Alternate Universe, during the early 1980s, the Japanese Idol Industry has been thriving in their home country, and began expansion of their entertainment brand to other countries in Asia such as South Korea, China, Thailand, Vietnam, The Philippines, and even a small presence in Vietnam, Australia, Myanmar, and India.
One of these Idol Agencies is "Prism Show." A recently created type of show that featured singing, dancing, figure skating, and fashion.
The Prism Show quickly became the No. 1 Show in Japan, and in Asia.
In it's overwhelming success, The Japanese Idol Industry, thinking that they can appeal to the American market, most likely to Japanese Americans living in the West Coast, decided to step into the western market.
But to one's surprise, except for the Japanese, that venture failed as America already had Hollywood and their Triple A stars, and that no ordinary American would want to watch underaged girls with "unproven talent." performing in "bad taste outfits." (by western standards)
Only one Idol Agency was set up in America, located at Los Angeles, owned by The Prism Show but it had no Prism candidates to search for due to the power of Hollywood.
And so, That Idol Agency is left all alone for two decades forgotten by the parent company, abandoned.
So that's basically the background of this story.
A failing japanese idol agency in America, abandoned and forgotten.
Threatened by the power of Hollywood, and on the brink of shutting down...
In this story...
Is a story of rebirth, and change...
Of trials and tribulations...
Of hardship and struggle...
To eventual success and triumph...
About a Prism Show Idol Agency down on it's luck...
And one girl, with Hollywood dreams and aspirations, who's hopes are dashed by harsh reality...
Came together...
And rocked the entire Entertainment industry...
Gave birth to the American Idol Industry...
And the rise of the most popular Idol show in the world, one that outshines all Prism Shows altogether...
"Diamond Heart Ultimate."
This fic will have a lot of American RB, hip-hop, pop, soul, and funk songs that will reflect the setting of the fic, since this takes place in America after all, and not in Japan where J-Pop is prominent.
