Rui Minaduki (水無月 涙, Minazuki Rui)

Voiced by: Shouta Aoi / Composition by Yuyoyuppe

Month- June

Rui comes off as innocent and naive, to the point that Shimotsuki Shun has (somewhat negatively) influenced his way of thinking. However, he can also do rather unexpected things whilst maintaining a straight face. He possesses a unique worldview, which makes him nonreactive to things such as scary stories.[3]

Rui possesses a natural talent for music, particularly the piano, and has participated in national and international competitions from childhood. However, following a discord with his older brother, Rei, who did not possess the same music talent as Rui, as well as disagreements with his parents involving his musical career as a pianist, Rui has ran away from home, was picked-up by Fuduki Kai and had been living with him until they were scouted.[1][2] He was scouted due to Kai (who had been scouted while helping out with some people moving into the talent production's dorms) showing the talent company a picture of Rui, who had just woken up, looking out-of-focus, and said company encouraged Kai to bring Rui along to become an idol.

Voiced by: Wataru Hatano / Composition by Hitoshizuku x Yama△

Month- July

A member of Procellarum representing the month of July.

Kai is most known for his bighearted, lively brotherliness, making him popular among and respected by other males. Being the eldest son among six siblings, Kai has developed a natural 'big-brother'-like personality, and has a habit of patting everyone on the head. He is naturally welcoming and accepting, although according to Haduki You, he can end up pampering others too much, especially Procellarum's leader Shimotsuki Shun.[4][5]

Kai is known for being a jack-of-all-trades, as well as a very reliable person. Kai aims to become self-reliant, previously living off connections he has made through his part-time jobs and living on his own, prior to taking in Minaduki Rui, who treats as his own son and worries about often.[4] Additionally, Kai enjoys physical activities and work, such as fishing and explorations.[5]

You Haduki (葉月 陽, Hazuki You)

Voiced by: Tetsuya Kakihara / Composition by UtataP

Month- August

You is known to others as someone who puts women above men, the "enemy of men". With this, he is quite good with women, and is popular among them.[1]

You is free-spirited, unrestrained, and laid-back. He can also be very vague, the kind of person who ends up toying with others and causing them trouble. However, while he appears to be flashy and troublesome, he possesses a strong sense of duty and a one-track mind, although according to him, he would rather die than show that side of him. He also possesses a unique sense of beauty and worldview.[1][2]

He possess a normal type of common sense, making him and Haduki You the ones in charge of throwing retorts at his fellow idols' antics.[2][3] Due to being the only member who decided to keep participating in clubs, as well as having to commute a lot, he ends up being very busy, but manages his time quite professionally.[3][1]
