Yuri brought world peace through her music, and became the world’s president. Mimu has a chance to audition in her hometown of Starland in front of Yuri, with the help of 6 “Excellent Idols”. However, before Mimu has the chance to sing in front of Yuri and the Excellent Idols, they are kidnapped by aliens and taken to another universe. The group land on the Tropical Dimension’s Bali Hawaii, where they are warmly welcomed. A competition is to begin in two hours to raise Bali Hawaii’s sun, and idols from all over space arrive to take part. The owner, Mr Bananaan, desires for the Excellent Idols to win, since they are his most recent obsession. The competition includes several activities, such as the Swing Ski, Muddy Quiz Contest, and Water-Scooter Fight. After several comical events, Yuri mistakenly is named the only one able to help the sun rise again for the first time. After the competition, Mimu must save up enough money to make it back to Starland, her hometown which is universes away.
