0

The official YouTube channel for the anime adaptation of Sony Music’s “multi-dimensional” idol project UniteUp! started streaming the second trailer. The new trailer showcases a preview of the opening song with a focus on Akira, the show’s protagonist. The series is scheduled to premiere on January 7, 2023.

UniteUp! is an idol project that has gained a lot of attention since its official YouTube channel opened in December 2021, with songs by several new-generation singers being released. Sony Music originally launched this project in order to feature various artists and “hidden talents”.

The anime’s story centers on Akira Kiyose, who sings on a video streaming site under the singer name “KIKUNOYU.” One day, the talent agency sMiLea Production scouts him. sMiLea is an agency founded by the retired legendary idol pair AneLa to train new budding idols. Akira then forms an idol group with Banri Naoe and Chihiro Isuzugawa, who were also scouted. Their new group, Protostar, will have its debut alongside other new idol groups Legit and Jaxx Jaxx.
