In the story, high school girl Nanako became her town's local idol after being requested to do so by her uncle. Together with her upperclassman Yuriko, a girl who seems perfect but ends up being airheaded, as local idols, they get interviewed (by the town's shopping center), go on television (low-budget cable), and do concerts (on the roof of the department store). The girls' salaries come from the town's taxes.
