Yu Arimura has left his career as an idol to fulfill his dream of becoming a jockey. However, his fans and the media are still hounding him for this sudden decision to leave the group.

The official website has released the synopsis of "Fanfare of Adolescence" Episode 2. Yu has enrolled in a prestigious horse racing school.

However, for some reason, he cannot attend the training session. Meanwhile, the post-credit scene from the pilot episode introduces a character named Madam President, who is likely associated with Yu's idol group.

The scene shows Madam President's assistant telling her that Yu is a good kid and he will come back. It remains to be seen if Yu can concentrate on living his dream of becoming a world-class jockey.

"The jockey curriculum at the Horse Racing School... A school with incredibly difficult entrance requirements, where only one out of every ten to twenty applicants is accepted, and students need not just book smarts, but also physical and athletic abilities. There, a boy who is a popular idol meets his real dream for the first time," the official synopsis of "Fanfare of Adolescence" anime read, as per Crunchyroll.

"A boy who grew up on an island dreams of spending his days racing with horses. A boy from England is unsure of the path his parents have chosen for him but still chooses to follow his dreams. This is a story about boys who pursue their dream of becoming a jockey," the synopsis continued.

The cast of the anime includes Natsuki Hanae as Amane Grace, Shimba Tsuchiya as Shun Kazanami, Shogo Yano as Yu Arimura, Hiroki Touchi as Kazuo Nohira, Chiaki Kobayashi as Kota Maki, Daisuke Namikawa as Yoshihisa Kuji, Yojirō Itokawa as Aki Kyoriki, Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Hayato Hosho, Inori Minase as Eri Shimotsuki, Lynn as Tako Kitami, Masako Katsuki as Naoko Saionji, Shosei Ohira as Masaki Azuma, Shoya Kimata as Kosei Nambara, Takahiro Sakurai as Yutaka Asahi and Tatsumaru Tachibana as Sojiro Sakuraba.
