CATDOLL: Virtual idols are the way to go. AKB48's chief producer will create idols that transcend dimensions.

Friends who are familiar with the Japanese idol industry must know the idol group "AKB48". The general producer of this project, Yasushi Akimoto, has always been a legendary producer. In addition to making the girl group AKB48 famous (known as Coach Anzai of AKB), he is also the honorary dean of Yoyogi Animation Academy. He also wrote lyrics for anime songs before. It can be said that the dimensional wall really does not exist for him. Recently, he announced that he will launch a "two-dimensional + three-dimensional" cross-dimensional idol plan!

Yasushi Akimoto announced that he will create a new idol girl group that transcends the two-dimensional world and the three-dimensional world. The two-dimensional girls in the plan will be designed by eight designers, including Masayoshi Tanaka (character designer of "Your Name"), Yukiko Horiguchi (animation supervisor of "K-ON!"), Mieko Hosoi, Kureto Fukasaki, Hirokazu Koyama and other well-known painters. With these painters in charge of character design, it is estimated that the eight members should be no different. The voice actors of these eight members are still being selected, and the specific results will be announced in December.

Yasushi Akimoto said that he wanted to create an idol group that had never existed before. The fictional idol group they are going to create this time is a group that does not exist in reality today. He hopes to work hand in hand with excellent character designers to move into a new era.
