For star-struck teenagers living in Okinawa, the first step to fame and fortune is an appearance on an American Idol-like TV show called Boom Boom. If they can wangle their way onto this weekly program, they have a shot to become Japan's next big thing. But first, these pop-star wannabes must first enroll in the big city's actor's school where competition between classmates is spirited and ruthless! With the help of her guardian angel, a gargoyle-like statue named Cesar, little Airi begins taking classes at the school. One way or another, she's going to make her dreams come true!

Through hard work, perseverance and undeniable talent, Airi has finally become a big star in Tokyo. The public, it seems, can't get enough of the little schoolgirl with the big voice.

But there's a whole big world out there beyond the shores of Japan. A trip to New York is next on the singer's agenda. Does she have the charisma and star power to attract the attention of the music industry in Gotham City?

As she flies over the Manhattan skyline, Airi realizes that her new life is about to begin. She's ready to take her career to the next level. And she's ready for a little romance, too. Watch out America... here comes Airi Ishikawa! You're going to fall in love with her!
