1997, Japanese. Directed by Tsutomu Yabuki.
Up and coming pop idol star Ikumi Murase seems to have everything a girl could want beauty, fame, fortune and even a handsome boyfriend! But not everyone is pleased with Ikumi's success.

To top it off, Ikumi's jealous co-star Ms. Lieh wants to bring Ikumi down at any cost even if it means summoning an ancient demon.
