[[GrandFinale The Stage Girls of the 99th class of Seisho Music Academy face a new crossroad in life as they enter their graduating year.]] Having fought so hard in the past years to each stand on the stage, not just in school but in the brutal secret auditions to become the Top Star, none of them are truly ready to move on... [[TheEndOrIsIt until a train ride calls them back to the underground theatre, to sing, dance, and battle once more on its secret stage that responds to their every whim.]] Now, hungry as ever to become stars and stand atop Position Zero, they will stop at nothing to unleash their darkest and most selfish yearnings upon their friends and rivals in their most dazzling musical performances yet, on fantastic, reality-defying stages where anything is possible. For some, it will take nothing less than the annihilation of all that she is and everything that defined her... so that a Stage Girl can be reborn once more on the journey to her next stage.
