All numbers come in the format of "# 万". 万 = 10,000, so to find your estimated annual income for producing this unit and idol, multiply the given number by 10,000. In the above example, your estimated annual income (in yen) would be:

625万 = 625 x 10,000 = 6,250,000 JPY per year = 57,461 USD per year.

We sincerely appreciate your time and consideration.' Year/Month/Date [Agency Name]

Agencies

The agency founded by Yumenosaki alumnus, Eichi Tenshouin. Its name is abbreviated as StarPro. While he's created a system that automatically enrolls all students of the Yumenosaki idol department into an appropriate ES agency upon their entry in the school's idol course, there are many students who willingly choose to affiliate with StarPro, which has an atmosphere familiar to Yumenosaki students. StarPro's motto is "Creating joy for both idols and fans."[3]

Rhythm Link Logo
A veteran small-scale entertainment agency that's been operating since the old days. Their nickname is RhyLin. One of the agencies that joined Ensemble Square. Not only do the idols affiliated with them thrive via numerous events, but so do many other bands, singer/songwriters, and musicians. Their motto is "Reaching your heart through their music."[4]

New Dimension Logo
A newly-established entertainment agency. Abbreviated as NewDi. One of the agencies under Ensemble Square. Though they were only recently established and have few idols, they've expanded from just idol activities to theater management, training actors, and TV program productions. Their motto is "A generation of all-rounders."[5]

Cosmic Production Logo

An entertainment agency that runs Remei Academy and Shuuetsu Academy, which both cultivate young, talented individuals. Its name is abbreviated as CosPro. It manages the schools by nurturing idol students in Reimei Academy and placing the highest-quality students in Shuuetsu. Though it has steadily risen in social standing in the entertainment world due to their methods, the SS has caused their status to somewhat plateau. Their agency motto is "Providing only high grade entertainment."[6]
