Ichigo Berry

Active in Japan throughout the 2015 television drama, Ichigo Berry is a wildly popular idol singing group built around three performers. The name plays on its imagery, since ichigo means strawberry in Japanese, and the act's logo is a strawberry stamped with a capital B. Their signature number is Aryarya, and their fame extends to branded merchandise, magazine photo shoots, and a devoted fanbase that crowds every venue.

The drama begins at one of the group's shows, where Light Yagami attends for the first time beside his friend Masaru Kamoda, a devoted Misa fan. Light enjoys himself enough to return again and again, and Kamoda's fixation on the singer is what prompts Light to kill the man who murdered Misa's parents. The trio commands a passionate following that gathers outside for autographs and homemade posters, and the act is renowned enough that Sayu Yagami instantly recognizes Misa. The fame carries a darker side as well, since a security guard, Tsutomu Yukida, fixates on the singer and comes close to killing her.

The group threads through the larger plot once Misa and Light join forces. Hoping to expose L, Light tries to lure the detective to a concert so Misa can read his name, but L floods the audience with identically dressed young men to avoid being singled out. The ploy never matters, since Misa is detained beforehand. Mako and Serina cover for her absence on stage while L spreads word that she is auditioning in Hollywood. The act endures to the end of the story, performing during the climactic concert where the notebooks burn and Misa loses her memories, discarding a stray scrap of notebook paper she no longer understands.

The lineup is built around three idols, each assigned a stage position and a color. Misa Amane sings lead from center stage in red, Mako Kitano takes the right in green, and Serina Kudo holds the left in blue. With no sign that Near pursues Misa after Light's death, the suspected second Kira presumably returns to the group, and Ichigo Berry carries on past the events of the series.
