Hikigaya Hachiman failed his youth again. After that incident, he spent the remainder of his first year in high school all alone. He then got an offer from his father to transfer to Tokyo to help him. Since he had nothing to lose, he accepted the offer.
He didn't know he will work at an Idol agency. Hijinks and drama ensue.
The Shining Stage of Youth Feels Awfully Bright 
is a OreGairu/The Idolmaster Crossover Quest Fic written by Zero XSEED on Sufficient Velocity.com. You will act as the last bit of conscience, egging him toward paths with the majority support. Most importantly, you need to make him believe in love again.
Or at least believe in human relationships.
This quest provides examples of:
- Arc Words: Dreams betray many, but hard work betrays no one
- Crossover: A crossover between Oregairu and Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls
- Idol Singer: Since this is Idolm@ster, it's given.
- Ship Tease: Several in fact,
- Hachiman has been teased with Kanade Hayami, Mika Jougasaki, and Fumika Sagisawa.
- Ryou Akizuki and Makoto Higuchi.
- Yuutarou Takagi with Miki Hoshii.
- Rei Kagura with Chihaya Kisaragi.
- Official Couple:
- Haruka Amami and Touma Amagase are couples, if somewhat subdued.
- Anastasia Romanovskaya and Saika Totsuka are dating in this quest.
- Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism:
- When starting the quest, the players are given three choices on how Hachiman views the Idol industry: Idealistic, Neutral, and Cynical.
- It's a running theme from the quest. Some people view the industry idealistically, while others are cynical.
- Visual Novel: The Quest is more in the style of a visual novel where actions chosen by the voters can push the plot in a myriad of directions and open or close doors both plot-wise and romantically.
