One year after the events of Ensemble Stars!, Eichi Tenshouin has created Ensemble Square to manage idol activities. Since then, Trickstar has embarked on many projects, one of which including the film Fist of Shangri-la. Fist of Shangri-la, as well as La Mort and Midnight Butlers, is entered in the New York Idol Film Festival. On advice from Anzu, Rei Sakuma invites Makoto Yuuki and Mao Isara (due to Hokuto Hidaka turning down the invitation) to attend the awards ceremony, while Aira Shiratori, Mayoi Ayase, Nagisa Ran, Hinata Aoi, Kohaku Oukawa, Izumi Sena, and Ritsu Sakuma also come along on the trip.
