The HANA-Doll* (華Doll*) series contains CDs that include songs and audio dramas.
It takes a different look at the typical image idols have and includes a breadth of intellectually
stimulating content that touches on taboo themes.
At first glance, this series may seem like a story about watching the personal growth of boys who dream
about becoming idols. However, there are hidden shapes that the story takes on, including undertones that
connect it to the bigger story’s foreshadowing and message.
Of course, the story can be thoroughly enjoyed as-is, but if you want to understand this series on a deeper
level, then you'll need to use the various types of knowledge that you have and "listen + look + think” to get
closer to the true secrets that this story holds.
Is what you see the truth?
Is that truly “your answer”?
Whether you accept this invitation or not is up to you.
We will always ask.
Are you a thinking reed?

Idols are popular in the flourishing entertainment industry.
They give people hope, they shine bright, and many aspire to become one.
However, countless imitations are flooding the idol industry, causing oversaturation.
In the midst of this, one entertainment production company has set forth on a new project.
The HANA-Doll* Project.
This project is a fusion of entertainment and medical care.
A special flower seed is implanted in the human body, and the highest level of potential is
drawn out to match the growth implemented by this medical technique.
With this technique, the project has artificially created near “perfect” idols with a high level of
talent.
Many young people hoping to pursue their dreams have gathered to participate in this project.
Six boys were chosen after passing a brutal audition and enduring exhausting training.
With the plethora of memories that they each keep in their hearts, these boys set foot into this
new world.
These boys have exchanged the life they knew for a "flower."
In a world where not a single thing is perfect, where will these inexperienced boys who are given a “choice” end up?
Are they “human” or are they “dolls”?
