Chronology
A-Rise makes their first appearance in episode 1, when they were performing on a screen in front of the students of UTX, a high school getting a lot of students because of them. Kousaka Honoka was visiting the school because her little sister was planning to apply to UTX instead of Otonokizaka, the high school Honoka attends. Not knowing who they were, Honoka asked the girl next to her (Yazawa Niko) if they were celebrities. Shocked, she explains to her that they are the school idol group A-Rise. After watching them perform their song Private Wars, Honoka came up with an idea to save her school: form a school idol group.

Their performance also appears in episode 2 when Honoka, Umi, and Kotori are all at Honoka's house.
