"Shine Post" Media Mix Project Launched! What is konami's new idle content?

There is a profession or genre of "idol" in this world.
As the word "idol" means "idol," "target of admiration," and "person with a passionate fan base," their behavior, smiles, and every action have the power to attract the attention of many people and excite the world around them.
I want more people to fall in love with idols, and I want to become such an idol myself... These are the wishes of these people, and they strive to make them come true. I am sure that many people are moved by their efforts and want to support them, just like I do.
The curtain opens on a vast story that cannot be contained within a single genre, about a certain group of girls who are chasing after such brilliance!

Comment by Sayumi Suzushiro

Q1: What is your impression of this movie?

No matter how much they smile, I think everyone has some kind of worries or feelings inside that they keep to themselves. Each character in this work has such worries, problems, conflicts, and various other feelings. I felt that they are very human. The novel setting, the lovable characters struggling to achieve their goals, the simple and easy-to-understand storyline, and the fun that makes you want to see more and more of the story. I was drawn into this film at once.

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about the role?

When I first saw Haru-chan, I had the impression that she was a serious and calm girl like her older sister, but when she said a few words, she was anything but that. (laugh) She is always positive and cheerful, and I felt that she is a wonderful girl who can cheer up everyone around her. However, Haru-chan had her own feelings inside... I will play the role with great care, while staying close to Haru-chan's feelings. It's really cool to see a girl who is working so hard and straight toward her goal! Please watch everyone's growth!

Moeko Kanizawa Comment

Q1: What is your impression of this film?

As the word "Shine Post" suggests, I thought this work would be a "shining beacon" for many people to discover the appeal of idols in the future. As the story is about an idol aiming for the big stage, there are many overlaps with my own life, and I think there is a lot to learn from this work.
It is a very sparkling story filled with the brilliance, conflict, friendship, and courage of "idols. I am very happy to be able to go forward with the characters from now on. I want to grow together with them.

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about the role?

Tamaki: My first impression of the character Anatsu is that she is like an idol, an honor student. However, the more I get to know her, the more I realize that she has many cute human-like qualities that I can't help but love. This is my first time to try my hand at voice acting, and in order to live as Anatsu Tamaki in this work, I want to know and love Anatsu more than anyone else. I would like to play this character as if my encounter with her is my first and last destiny. Anatsu is an idol, so I hope that there will be many fans who will think, "I love Tamaki Anatsu more than her!" I will do my best so that there will be many fans who will think "I like Tamaki Anatsu more than her!

Rio Seibu / CV: Yuko Natsuyoshi

Rio Seibu (CV: Yuko Natsuyoshi)

A member of "TiNgS". He is a very well-behaved person with unfounded and absolute self-confidence. On the other hand, he is too honest and is often deceived.

Yuko Natsuyoshi Comment

Q1: What is your impression of this work?

I thought it would be a royal idol story, but it's different in more ways than one. The growth of "TiNgS," which has a strong quirkiness, is very hot! As I repeated lessons with the cast members and imagined Rio's feelings, I felt as if I was gradually becoming a part of the story, which made me very nervous!

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about the role?

She is honest, outgoing, and helpless, but she is super confident! He is so cute and inspiring to watch! I will try my best to bring out Rio's "good points" in both the recording and the live performance!

Yukine Gionji / CV: Rimo Hasegawa

Gionji Yukine (CV: Satomo Hasegawa)

She is a hot-blooded girl who works with Momiji in a unit called "Yukine". Both of her parents are well-known actors, and she herself has excellent acting ability.

Satomo Hasegawa Comment

Q1: What was your impression of this film?

When I first came into contact with this story, I thought it was a very human work. Sparkling idol contents. That in itself may not be particularly unusual. But every girl has an element that is not straightforward, and when the manager-chan appears, the hearts that were covered by many filters are gradually laid bare and the armor is taken off. I felt close to the girls as human beings, and I felt I caught a glimpse of a different kind of drama. I am looking forward to seeing more of this work as we delve deeper into it...!

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about the role?

"The more I put on a mask, the further away from my true self I get... My first impression was, "Yukine, aren't you lonely? She dares to be passionate and act cool. She is a girl who wears many masks for the sake of someone else and to meet the ideals of those around her. However, if you dig deeper, you will find that she has a girlishness appropriate for her age, a kind heart, and a way of looking at others carefully. I felt that she is a girl who understands people's feelings because she has experienced various feelings. It will be a big challenge for me to play the role of Yukine, but I hope you will join me on a journey with the lovely and clumsy Yukine as she searches for herself.

Momiji Ito / CV: Rika Nakagawa

Momiji Ito (CV: Rika Nakagawa)

She belongs to the entertainment agency "Brightest" and performs with Yukine in a unit called "Yukimoji". She is the best dancer in the world, but according to Rio, she is a "shivering idiot" (?). She is a member of the "Yukimoji" unit with Riou.

Rika Nakagawa Comment

Q1: What is your impression of this work?

This work depicts the struggles and efforts of girls who burn with their lives as "idols," but at the same time, I feel that it is a "story of all people. No matter how sparkling a person may look, behind that person's radiance there is always the struggle of struggling in solitude, struggling with ideals and reality, and the effort to overcome those struggles. I myself was strongly encouraged by the fact that there is surely a light that can only be grasped by those who keep running and never give up until they reach their dreams. I would like to run with you all as fast as I can until the day I catch the light, so that this work will be a shining beacon "Shine Post" for you all!

Q2: What is your impression of the character you are playing and how do you feel about the role?

When I first saw Momiji's profile during the audition, I felt that I had to protect her. She is so good-natured and energetic that people think she has no worries, but in fact, she cares about the members more than anyone else. She is a kind girl who hates to leave anyone alone and always tries to be close to others. I can understand Momiyo's worries behind her cheerful personality because she is similar to me in some ways, and I feel that I have to take it all in and love any Momiyo I meet. And now, I want to be there to support Momiji at the moment she shines!
