“Shine Post” Anime Announces July 2022 Release With Promo Video
The official website for the “Shine Post” multimedia project released a new promotional video to tease the upcoming musical series. The idol anime is set to be released in July 2022.

In addition, the in-story rival group HY:RAIN was announced. The cast and characters include:
Yū Serizawa as “Ren Kurogane”, HY:RAIN's leader. She is in the same high school as Haru, which makes their relationship increasingly complicated.
Kurumi Takase as “Aoba Karabayashi”, the older of the Karabayashi sisters, and whose collected demeanor lends herself to being an older sister figure to the group in general.
Miyu Kubota as “Itoha Karabayashi”, the younger of the Karabayashi sisters, and the most competitive HY:RAIN member.
Tomoyo Takayanagi as “Nanoha Hiumi”, whose reticence hides a string drive to be an idol.
Arisa Kōri as “Yawara Naekawa”, the oldest in HY:RAIN alongside Aoba, and whose competitive gymnast past lends her an advantage in dance maneuvers.
The anime was announced by Konami Digital Entertainment and Straight Edge, and will be a part of a multimedia project that will include a game, manga and concerts. Based on the light novel by writer Rakuda and illustrator Buriki, the anime will be directed by Kei Oikawa at Studio KAI. The music video for the song "Be Your Light!!" by "TINGS", was released in January 2022 and showcased the idol group and their first single.
