“The Mature Idol Project” - The latest project proposed by Manpuku Entertainment Productions, in a bid to revive the company. Experienced in the successes and failures of the business world, 6 middle-aged men now face the many hurdles of age and physical ability, whilst pursuing their goal to become idols. In an effort to prove that old dogs can learn new tricks, and that you can still learn to shine no matter your age, these middle-aged men, at the end of their ropes, are taking a stand!
THE STORY CONTINUES
01Down on his luck and freshly unemployed Kentaro applies for one last job. He thinks he bombs the interview – but Manpuku Entertainment Productions has plans for him!
02Kentaro is hired along with other mid-career, middle aged men, to become a new idol group, the Eternal Boys! The group records their introduction to the world.
03The lessons for the debut of the Ossan Idol Project, Eternal Boys, began! But singing and dancing at the same time is hard.
04A little liquid courage may be the key to unlocking idol worthy dance moves!
05Today's agenda: making the Eternal Boys' first music video!
06There are two kinds of humans: the ones who give, and the ones who receive.
07What's more exciting than the Eternal Boys getting 100,000 views on their first video? Their first public performance, that's what!
08The boys have their first CD sales meeting. They also deal with living as roommates; who's wearing whose socks?!
09Ishida recalls fond memories of the idol group, Gentlemen! Now he's in an idol group himself. Will these worlds collide?
10The Men's Idol Fest only happens once a year and the Eternal Boys are making their way to its stage! It’s like being catapulted to the champions league!
11An embarrassing blunder lands Yamanaka-san in hot water. It looks like things are about to go "kaboom!"

13Is Sanada really going to quit the Eternal Boys just when they're getting started?!
14Good news, everyone! Kakizaki is bringing a new member to the Eternal Boys!
15You know the old saying: you can take the boy out of the idol, but you can't take the idol out of the boy!
16Sometimes, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Sometimes you can!

22The Eternal Boys receive a package. But what's in the box?!
23The Eternal Boys have been working toward this moment for their entire idol careers! It's time to perform!
