Storyline and Premise

The story centers on Fū and Rui, two sisters who were once close but have recently drifted apart. After Fū encounters a mysterious spaceship, she acquires magical powers. Rui receives similar powers at the same time, allowing both sisters to transform into the adult versions of themselves they aspire to be. These abilities are bound by two strict conditions: the magic will last for only one year, and its existence must remain a secret. Unaware of each other's powers, both Fū and Rui begin careers as idols.
