[edit] Plot
The series is set in the year 2017, and music was delivered in a technological fashion. Earlier than that, a pop band named Lemon Angel made it big, but they only performed in large flat screens that serve as ad spaces in the city. After a while, the band disappeared, leaving no trace. Tomo Minaguchi, whose deceased older sister was somehow involved with Lemon Angel, was invited to join an audition aimed to form a new Lemon Angel band, or revive it with new members. Tomo reluctantly agrees.
As the series progresses, Tomo bonds with the other four members of the band (out of the audition), and along the way, each learn the values of trust, friendship and love, as they do their best to sing for the Lemon Angel Project.

- Voiced by: Ryou Shihono
- Tomo is the protagonist of the series and lead singer of the Lemon Angels. She has Light blue hair with an ahoge and two long pigtails. Very squeaky-voiced, clumsy, and loves to eat.

She is the lead singer for the new Lemon Angel.

- Erika is Tomo's other best friend and a Lemon Angel. She has dark skin and white hair. Always sticks up for Tomo and Saya, and wants everyone to stop fighting with each other and just be friends. She came to live in Japan from Brazil with her adopted brother Takumi, who is a famous rock star from the band Third Sence. She was constantly picked on by her peers (except for her friends, of course) for being a foreigner and not knowing anything about Japanese culture, and was used in episode 5 by Haruka and the other unnamed characters to meet Takumi when it turned out he was unavailable to meet them. She is also a good cook.

- Voiced by: Juri Hirama
