This one actually looks really decent. And this is just a wild guess, but is the blonde a dude? Would be really cool for once to see a dude being involved. Cant rly rely on being a girls only show all the time, otherwise it'll get stale.

That's a girl according to the official website's character page (https://wsy-idolls.com/character-cast).

Oh wonderful, another probably generic friendship anime that falsely portray's the famously exploitive Japanese idol industry as a happy friendship-y industry to join. I wonder what anime will be the first to think OUTSIDE the box and depict the reality of that disgusting industry. There's always a handful of anime that goes against the broadcast norms and shows a more realistic/dark side of tropes(magical girls = dark magical girls, romcom = school days/white Album/YnS/etc.., Isekai = Globlin Slayer, SAO, etc).

On a side note, looks like another POS.

Perfect Blue and Wake Up! Girls (to a lesser extent) did that. Though I would object that the Korean idol industry is comparatively worse.
