If My Favorite Pop Idol Made it to the Budokan, I Would Die

An interesting and funny manga/anime that centers on Eripiyo, a hardcore idol fan of the group "Cham Jam". Although it'll center on some of the relationships Eripiyo has with Maina, one of the CJ idols. Scheduled to have 12 episodes only. Funi's streaming it in Japanese/English.

There's a redlink for the trope article though in the site.

Basically, it's an animated version of a hardcore (female) idol fan who really is into attending all of the idol concerts in Japan as Serious Business.

PS - Some people have made fun of the longish title.

Site is here.

Amusingly, the French title is also quite long "Je la vois déjà en haut de l'affiche" and is almost a quote from Charles Aznavour.

The manga's out in France?

I don't think so. That's the title on Wakanim.

Reading the title of this I genuinely thought this was about a bunch of pop idols fighting in some kind of tournament to determine the future of their careers.

"If my favorite pop idol made it to the budokai, I would die" is how I read this.

Is it just me or are there a lot of Japanese franchises with titles like "How not to/Do you like to/if my someone was this I would be that" now?

Here's the tv tropes page. Please help out in adding to it!

That needs to be written/animated.
