Characters and Story
At the core of this project are captivating characters. The protagonist, Akane Kirishima, is a super positive high school student who forms a group called “Kachoufugetsu” with peers who face various challenges. Support characters include the cool and natural Airi Shinonome, the cheerful mood maker Matsuri Asahina, and the intelligent and mature Sayo Sakakibara, among others, who enliven the story.
Auditions
Along with the full-scale launch of the “IDOL:UnderCode” project, the first round of auditions for the first generation, seeking cast members for six main characters, has opened.
This audition is open to a wide range of talents capable of performing in multiple expressive fields such as singing, acting, and streaming performance. We are looking for members to actively participate in character activities, including VTuber activities, live performances, and social media management, to liven up the project.
Moreover, in addition to the first-round auditions, second and third-round auditions are planned, providing opportunities to reapply regardless of the results in the document screening. You can check details and how to apply on the audition special page.
Prospects and Future
The IDOL:UnderCode project represents a revolutionary shift in the entertainment industry, emphasizing fan participation. By allowing participants to walk alongside characters, this project will grow with fans through diverse activities, leveraging technology and creativity.
The new form of entertainment marked by this project will evolve from a traditional passive experience to one centered on interactive communications with fans. The format, where participants’ voices are directly reflected in the narrative, suggests the advent of an era where everyone’s opinions and thoughts are valued. The future looks very promising.
