Oshi no Ko needs no introduction, especially if you’ve been an avid anime watcher over the past few years. Created by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, the manga-turned-anime revolves around a pair of twins reincarnated as the children of a famous Japanese pop idol and how they have to deal with the dark side of the entertainment industry. Now the franchise is gearing up to release a live-action drama.

The life of an idol

This live-action series is a joint project between Amazon and Toei Animation. The cast includes Asuka Saito, a former Nogizaka46 idol, and actor, model and former drummer Kaito Sakurai. An original song was also created by B-Komachi, a snippet of which you can hear in the series trailer.

The newly unveiled poster promoting the live-action drama features main character Ai Hoshino in her iconic pink idol outfit, as well as the new generation of B-Komachi, Kana Arima, MEMcho and Ruby Hoshino. The bright and sparkling nature of these two images immediately contrasts with the darker and more sombre shots by Aqua Hoshino and Akane Kurokawa. This duality also speaks to the themes of the story, showing both the glitz and glamor of the industry and the darkness that lies behind it.
