Movie
Description
Chihaya Kisaragi is a 16-year-old idol with 765 Production. She lives independently in an apartment where pets are not allowed, though she wishes she could have a dog. Her family consists of her parents and an older brother, Yuu, who died in a car accident; this tragedy caused her parents' divorce and deeply influenced her reserved personality.

Initially cold and withdrawn, Chihaya prioritized singing above everything else, viewing it as her sole purpose and declaring life meaningless without it. She preferred being called a "vocalist" over an "idol," focusing intensely on vocal perfection and often isolating herself to practice. While recognized for her exceptional technical skill within 765 Production, she struggled with non-musical idol activities.

Her emotional growth stemmed from confronting her past. Yuu's death, as he frequently requested her songs, made singing both a tribute to him and her emotional outlet. A scandal revealing her past triggered severe depression, rendering her unable to sing. Supported by fellow idols, especially her closest confidante Haruka Amami, she regained her voice and emotional stability. Post-recovery, she became noticeably more cheerful, laughed more easily, and developed new interests like photography, featured in later media such as the Million Live! anime and games.

Physically, she stands 162 cm tall with measurements of 72-55-78. She is self-conscious about her 72 cm bust, often reacting with a distressed "Ku..." when mentioned, which became a recurring trait. Her hobbies include appreciating classical music, Japanese Genroku-era art (particularly Kabuki), Greek architecture, and dog-related activities. Among sweets, she exclusively eats vanilla ice cream and maintains a breakfast routine of homemade juice.

Within the movie "Beyond the Brilliant Future!", she participates in a New York City recording session as part of 765 Production's expanded activities. The film shows her mentoring backup dancers during preparations for an arena concert, reflecting her continued professional development following her emotional recovery.

Her discography includes numerous solo, group, and cover songs like "Aoi Tori," "Nemurihime," "Yakusoku," and "Saihyou," often exploring themes of perseverance and emotional vulnerability. She also possesses basic proficiency in piano and violin.
