About Idol Project

Idol Project (アイドルプロジェクト) blends adventure, comedy and music by Studio OX (1995). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: Mimu Emilton is a cute fourteen-year-old who has come to the annual Starland Festival to become an idol, just like her role model, Yuri. It is the most celebrated event on a united Earth, and Yuri, now the President of Earth, has encouraged people to join the ranks of Excellent Idols.

Beyond that: Unfortunately for Mimu, she can never seem to make it to her audition on time, as misadventure after misadventure lands her in situations (usually involving undergarment exposure. Just as she makes her place on the stage and kicks off her audition, though, an unknown group of aliens kidnaps her and the Excellent Idols. It is only the beginning of a wild interdimensional goose-chase that places Mimu in the position to save the realm, if only she can believe in herself.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Palpu Ranrang (Hinako Yoshino) and Corvette Hiyards (Kikuko Inoue) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 4 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
