The cast includes:

Moeko Kanisawa (of idol group ≠ME) as Kyо̄ka Tamaki, who supports TiNgS with her calm singing and dancing skills. She has a cute appearance and a calm personality. She occasionally makes strict remarks to other members.

Yūko Natsuyoshi as Rio Seibu, a sweet and excitable girl who has unfounded, absolute self-confidence. Due to her straightforward personality, she is often immediately deceived.

Rimo Hasegawa as Yukine Giongi, a hot-blooded girl who is part of the Yukimoji unit with Momiji. Both her parents are famous actors, and she also has excellent acting ability.

Rika Nakagawa as Momiji Itо̄, who is part of the "Brightest" agency and the Yukimoji unit with Yukine. Momiji's dancing skills are outstanding, although according to Rio, she seems like she is "shivering idiot" level.

Tatsuto Higuchi (Revue Starlight) is writing the scripts with Rakuda, who is also credited as the author of the original novel series and for conceiving the world view.
