Utapri Season 1

Broccoli created the show "Utapri" back in 2010. It story takes place at an academy that trains you to be a idol, Saotome Academy. Haruka Nanami enters the school to become a composer, and learn other things about music. At the school she meets Otoya Ittoki, who always keeps Haruka determined; Tokiya Ichinose, who is the twin brother of Haruka's number one idol, Hayato Tokiya; Natsuki Shinomiya, who is into all the cute and adorable things; Syo Kurusu, the small group member that tries to act big; Ren Jinguji, the playboy with all the looks; and Masato Hijirikawa, who has a very calm appearance, but really energetic on the inside. Together they become a great group of friends in Haruka's eyes.
The seven faced a lot of drama within themselves and around them. When Haruka first entered the school, she had no idea how to read music, so she was judged deeply within her class. Ichinose also had a secret that couldn't be told to anyone. Haruka discovers that he is actually Hayato Tokiya, pretending to be his twin brother so he can keep on singing.
As the boys start to practice as a group, and a few problems start to come up. With Tokiya being a secret idol, he misses most of the rehearsals they have. The rest of the group become skeptical about him skipping a lot, so then Haruka is forced to tell them about Ichinose's real identity. The next day, the paparazzi too figure out Tokiya's real identity, and the news is spread all around the media. 
Soon after, the classes are given a objective to choose a partner for a singing partner. Ever since the six boys got close to Haruka, they all wanted her to be their partner, and they all turn in their application forms with Haruka's name. That night, she had thought over the situation, and came up with an idea to make the boys into a boy's group, and she writes their songs. The Principle accepted the idea, and named the group "Starish", and was immediately a big hit throughout the media.
