Although Mink and Minkle are keeping busy with their concert tour, they are still working to stay one step ahead of cyber-freak Kyo. Kyo continues to wreak havoc in the present by releasing WANNA-BE 2.0, which proves that not all upgrades are a good thing. Later, Mink learns backstage that not all groupies are who they appear to be!

Motoharu

Azumi
A girl who is already a star. She is Mink's rival and doesn't like her because Mink takes attention away from her.

Illiya
A boy who loves Mink. He heard Mink sing and wants to produce her (he's already ultra-famous).
