Shine Post
Shine Post (シャインポスト, Shain Posuto) is a Japanese idol-themed mixed-media project created by Konami Digital Entertainment and Straight Edge. A light novel series written by Rakuda and illustrated by Buriki, titled Shine Post: Nee Shitteta? Watashi o Zettai Idol ni Suru Tame no, Goku Futsū de Atarimae na, to Bikkiri no Mahou, began publication by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Bunko imprint in October 2021.

Haru Nabatame, Kyōka Tamaki, and Rio Seibu are members of TiNgS, a struggling idol group that has seen limited attendance at its concerts. All three want to live up to Hotaru, a popular idol who inspired their idol dreams. They have been given an ultimatum: if they are unable to sell out the Nakano Sunplaza for their upcoming anniversary concert, TiNgS will be forced to disband. The trio find this difficult, given the small crowds at their prior lives. However, they catch the attention of Naoki Hinase, their new manager and secretly a friend of Hotaru. Inspired by Haru's determination and talent, Naoki aims to make TiNgS a top idol group and help them fulfill their goal of selling out the Nakano Sunplaza and thus avoiding disbandment and bankruptcy.
The group's name is taken from the first letter of each girl's family names. During the time Momiji and Yukine were away from the group, TINGS was spelled as TiNgS, with the lowercase letters representing the missing members.
