Viewers are treated to raw moments of the trio's tireless rehearsals, candid emotions, and unwavering dedication amidst their grueling schedules. From their nervous energy before performances to their shared laughter and deepening bonds, the documentary showcases their genuine journey as B Komachi.

Emotional Reflections from the Cast

Nanoka Hara:
"Singing and dancing were a challenge for me as a first-time idol. But Nagisa and Ano always supported me, not by pushing me, but by being there, saying, ‘Let’s do our best together.’ That made me feel like we were fighting this battle as a team. I’m so grateful for this incredible dream I was allowed to experience."

Nagisa Saito:
"During tough scenes, I found myself crying on their shoulders. They became my emotional anchors. I love the B Komachi duo, and it was a joy to perform as an idol alongside them."

Ano:
"Our final stage was unforgettable. It was so moving that I almost cried. We worked so hard as a team, and while it was sad to see it end, it’s a day I’ll always cherish."
