From the sound of it, the town in question is either really small or are cheapskates, unless this is a tiny rural town I would expect more decent accommodations for performances using the taxpayers money unlike the private funds used for local idol groups you sometimes hear about that exist in Japan in certain venues. Fiscal issues aside, the character designs looks good and it's a short so I'll take this on.

IDOLS <3 and art style looks neat. Gonna watch.
"Children of Japan. And those who were once children. Listen! This is not a dream. This is not fiction. In reality, your superheroes were always fighting. To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes!
Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!"

According Moonphase, it will be the Second TBS/BS-TBS Anime for the Springseason 2014 beside 'Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou'.

Looks interesting. Will be waiting for PVs and more info since I can't find the manga.

I like how they're wearing stockings and garter belt.
