You can stream Wake Up, Girls! (2014) on Crunchyroll with a subscription.

The gateway to Idol stardom might have opened for the newly formed singing group Wake Up, Girls, but the path to fame is full of perils and pitfalls. And for Mayu, Airi, Minami, Yoshino, Nanami, Kaya and Miyu, it's going to be especially difficult knowing who to trust, as their manager Matsuda's lack of experience could give other, less scrupulous, individuals a chance to take advantage.

The neon-lit struggle for idol stardom feels surprisingly fragile as these seven girls navigate the chaotic whims of an inexperienced manager. You will find more genuine heartache in their pursuit of fame than in most heavy dramas.
