These girlies are the rivals to the main group, and their full group name is Puzzle Trap. Now, their deal is that they actually come from five different schools, having previously taken part in idol life as one trio, one duo, and four solo idols. However, following the immense success and victory of the main group at their big national competition, Hana, the leader of the trio (bit•ter•sweet) recruited all of them to band together to defeat the main group and win the second annual nationals. Their disconnect in style and community is a big challenge for them to overcome, hence the name Puzzle Trap.

Other Info (sorry for length!):

  • Itsuko, Saiko, and Nobue are the "main rivals" for the first story arc I imagine, serving as competition for the main group as they form and go on to win the national competition.

  • Itsuko is a friend of Rori and Poppy and is friendly with most of the main group. She is immensely talented and provides them with a willing challenge. While she has always loved idols, she became one to save her school, but was unsuccessful, and the school closed, forcing her to merge with Saiko and Nobue's group. She and Saiko hate each other at first but gradually develop an... interesting relationship.

  • Saiko and Nobue are in a duo called FOREVER, which is rock focused. Saiko is the main antagonist for the first arc, though she mellows out by the end and learns her lesson. Like Itsuko, she is very talented, and incredibly concerned with winning at any cost. Nobue is the producer for their songs, and initially is content with being left out of the spotlight, as she only joined for the money. (if you remember Poppy/Chiaki's extra info, Saiko is the one Poppy punches haha)
