Shioriko Mifune joined Nijigasaki High School's idol club later than most, after first serving as student council president with a very different goal in mind: she had actually tried to abolish clubs she saw as lacking real educational value, the idol club included. Her path changed once she got to know the members personally, eventually leading her to join the very club she had once wanted to shut down.

She comes from a traditional background, trained in formal arts like flower arranging and dance, and her older sister Kaoruko was once a school idol herself, a history that quietly shaped Shioriko's own interest in the activity. Calm and academically gifted, Shioriko has a sharp eye for other people's strengths and weaknesses, which she uses to offer blunt advice that initially upsets her clubmates before they come around to seeing how much it actually helps them improve.

Underneath her stiff, formal manner, Shioriko secretly longs to connect more openly with the people around her, a softer side that slowly surfaces through her friendship with childhood friend Lanzhu Zhong and fellow R3BIRTH member Mia Taylor. She also shares a close bond with Setsuna Yuki, having been one of the few people trusted with Setsuna's secret identity as student council president before the truth came out.

Slice of LifeMusic

This is the middle film of the three movies that close out Sunrise's Nijigasaki High School Idol Club anime. It opened in Japanese theaters on November 7, 2025, more than a year after the first part. Tomoyuki Kawamura again directed it, and Jin Tanaka again wrote the script. It later played in other countries too, such as the Philippines and South Korea. Nijigasaki is a large high school in Odaiba, Tokyo. Its idol club is known for letting each member shine on her own. School idols are students who sing and dance on stage for their school. Yu Takasaki, the club's manager, supports them all and writes songs for them. The film happens during the same stretch of time as Part 1. While one group of six went south to Okinawa, a second group goes on its own tour. The School Idol Grand Prix, a national contest to find the most popular school idols, is going on. This time the spotlight is on Karin Asaka, Ai Miyashita, Setsuna Yuki, Rina Tennoji, Shioriko Mifune, and Mia Taylor. They travel through Kansai, the region of western Japan around Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe, and perform in those three big cities. Two members get personal stories here. Mia gets a surprise when her older sister, Chloe Taylor, shows up without warning. Chloe is a new character, and her visit brings back parts of Mia's past. Setsuna also faces a hard question. Her real name is Nana Nakagawa, and Setsuna is the perfect idol self she shows on stage. Living as two people is not easy, and she has to deal with the gap between them. The film keeps the series' light, friendly tone, with sightseeing, songs, and close friendships. It also gives older fans more time with members who did not lead the first film. Karin and Ai, who sing together as the duo DiverDiva, are part of the trip, as are Shioriko and Mia, who joined in season 2 with Lanzhu. The Japanese cast returns, including Miyu Kubota as Karin, Natsumi Murakami as Ai, Coco Hayashi as Setsuna, Chiemi Tanaka as Rina, Moeka Koizumi as Shioriko, and Shu Uchida as Mia. A third and last film was announced to finish the story.
