Recruitment of members starts today, April 4!

A new idol group creation project will be launched with Yasushi Akimoto, creator of “AKB48” and “Nogizaka46,” as the overall producer. The name of the project is “IDOL3.0 PROJECT” (IDOL SUNTEN ZERO PROJECT).

Recruitment of members for the project began today, April 4, on the official website. In the first stage, the applicants are screened four times through documents, online, and in-person, and about 100 of them will advance to the final stage. All who pass the final audition will debut as one group, and all will participate in the title song.

IDOL3.0 PROJECT” features an update from conventional idol group management. First, the “realm of idol activities” will be updated. The project will focus on both “real” activities such as concerts and handshake events, as well as “virtual” activities in the Metaverse space and online.

In addition, the group management system will be updated as well. The project will be funded by the Nippon Idol Token (NIDT), a cryptographic asset issued by Overse. NIDT holders will receive special offers such as invitations to exclusive events in the future.

The same is true of the “Member Support” program. Members who wish to join the program will be provided with a dormitory with a full-time female caretaker, and health care and other support will be provided in cooperation with a medical service provider. In addition to language lessons and academic support, “NIDT” also offers retirement benefits to graduating members and career support after graduation.

The debut of the group born from the “IDOL 3.0 PROJECT” is scheduled for this fall.
