Idols who are not just supported, but also support each other.
Traditionally, idols were "people who were supported by fans."

However, in recent years, with the spread of SNS, fans have become more likely to express their opinions to idols.
"I want support for my exams"
"I want to increase my motivation at work"
"I'll try my best to confess, so please say something."
There are increasing calls for support from idols.

This is how "Idols to Support" were born.
It is a "new form of idol" that is close to fans and supports their dreams and challenges.
