Based in Aoyama, Tokyo, Aoyama Operetta is a venerable theater company with a history spanning more than 100 years, consisting of only young, unmarried men. Because of its origins, it is characterized by the fact that female roles are also performed by men. Joining the traditional Aoyama Operetta is a longing for actors all over Japan. The story begins when Asahi Miyajima, who is an amateur in acting, singing, and dancing, joins the company as its memorial 100th year student and is selected as a member of the new team "Nova."
