The agency has a dominant share in the management of actresses.[3] For example, it had managed Yūko Takeuchi (best known for the movie Be with You) and Kō Shibasaki (Socrates in Love).[4] The agency is known for its all-female musical groups such as Momoiro Clover Z,[5] Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku,[6] and all-male musical groups such as Bullet Train,[7] Dish[8] and also has its own independent record label SDR (Stardust Records).[9]

In 2009, Stardust Promotion opened a branch in South Korea.[4] In addition to the head office in Tokyo, Stardust Promotion has offices in Nagoya, in Osaka, and since lately[when?] in Fukuoka. The agency has recently started to put an emphasis on local talents and created several local idol groups, namely Team Syachihoko (in Nagoya) and Tacoyaki Rainbow (in Osaka).[10]
