In order to save Fairyland, the Queen sends three "Ma(gic)-Pets", Sei, Dai, and Ryoku, to Earth with magic gems to find three girls who can become the "Super Miracle Idols". Those "princesses" end up being three ordinary girls: Ringo Yukimori, Leila Takashiro and Natsuki Sasahara. The gems transform them into older singing superstars.
