Rather than featuring series mainstay 765 Production, this installment focuses on three up-and-coming idols from 876 Production: Ai Hidaka, a young girl who wants to follow in her idol mother's footsteps, Eri Mizutani, a former shut-in and internet celebrity, and Ryo Akizuki, a feminine boy who was signed on as a girl to fill in for a missing idol.

Gameplay alters greatly from its sister franchise: it was the first, if not only, game in the series to have your player character be the idol rather than their producer. Each protagonist has their own route with StoryBranching and MultipleEndings; the storylines intersect occasionally. The game was also managed on a day-to-day basis rather than the weekly format of other installments, with the ability to change accessories and songs only available at the start of the week. This game also has the distinction of being the first in the franchise to include a male idol (albeit DisguisedInDrag).
Like most of the franchise, ''Dearly Stars'' was [[NoExportForYou never released outside of Japan]], but got a manga adaptation split into three parts: ''Splash Red'', focusing on Ai; ''Innocent Blue'', focusing on Eri; and ''Neue Green'', focusing on Ryo.

The game was also managed on a day-to-day basis rather than the weekly format of other installments, with the ability to change accessories and songs only available at the start of the week.
