"They share everything, even their hopes and dreams. And in all their dreams, they sing and dance together forever."
 * —one way → | is a electro-pop-music idol group consisting of twin sisters Arisu Fujiwara and Marie Fujiwara, both age 19.

History

 * —one way → | is one of Legacy's two active rivals, and is the longest-standing of the three groups. Arisu and Marie Fujiwara started performing on a whim when they were middle-grade teenagers. Marie approached their father with a birthday wish to become the top idol in her age group. He assured her he’d make it happen, so long as Arisu agreed to become her duo partner. It took some convincing.

With the moral support and financial backing of their wealthy parents, Arisu and Marie signed up for vocal lessons and dance classes. (Apparently clearing Challenge-level DDR tracks didn’t count as professional dancing experience.)

Months into idol bootcamp and the school year, both girls were drained dry desperate to quit. Marie clung to her father’s suit and begged him for a break. His answer was a gentle, yet resounding, “Absolutely not.” They already signed contracts, after all.

Following an exhausting training period, Arisu and Marie developed the necessary resolve to succeed, despite the routine work of idoldom being a chore. Hard work became a hobby, if only because it encompasses a large chunk of their lives. The rewards of their dedication have been sweet, however--they live in a world totally separate from their peers, where the only way to go is up.

Relationships

 * Legacy: As stars looking down from a pedestal, the twins aren't obligated to worry about Legacy interfering with their career. Arisu is open about her positivity and support toward the Legacy girls, while Marie is hyper-critical (in a failed attempt to hide her love for their music).
 * DIA♔DEM: In their active competition, Arisu is a positive, but formidable, force that values the tension between them. Marie is open about her desire to grind them to dust, but she still accidentally associates with Maaya on a regular basis.
