Lovedol ~Lovely Idol~ is the title of a Japanese series which focuses on a group of young girls who are striving to become famous Japanese idols.

The entire series has a wide range of media, ranging from written prose to a video game and even an anime adaptation. Lovely Idol first began as a set of illustrated short stories serialized in Enterbrain's Magical Cute magazine. The franchise grew to include radio shows, drama CDs, a Japanese bishojo game by PrincessSoft, and an anime TV series which began airing in Japan on October 2, 2006.

The Lovely Idols are a group of young idol singers who have become very popular. Managed by Tomohiro Fujisawa, there have already been two "generations" of performers, with a third about to debut. However, right before the third generation is cued onstage at a concert, Tomohiro learns that their debut has been delayed by the company president. He isn't told why, but is left to figure out for himself what, exactly, the next generation is lacking. While considering what he should do to remedy the situation, he finds a young street musician singing and playing a guitar. Tomohiro may think he's found the answer to his problem, but recruiting her could turn out to be harder than expected.

Love Doll Lovely Idol is a visual novel video game was released on April 28, 2005 on the PlayStation 2 console, and was developed by video game company PrincessSoft.

The player takes the role of Tomohiro, managing the girls' schedules and helping them improve their skills. The player must also talk to the girls about their troubles and go on dates with them. The game could be considered a part of the "raising sim" sub-genre of bishojo games due to its focus on training the Lovedols.

You play as the manager at a talent studio that manages ten groups, featuring a total of twelve girls, that recently had their debut. Your goal is to speak to the girls, deepening your ties, and listening to their problems as they make their way towards the big I-1 Grand Prix competition in a month. In order to become a better idol, these girls need to take lessons in four fields, including voice and dance. You get to select the lesson schedule. During break time, you can go out with the girls on dates.

The limited edition of Lovely Doll includes a bonus drama CD.
