The New Adventure of Harajuku Himegoto House
A new original IP, "Harajuku Himegoto House," developed in collaboration by Plott, Bandai Namco Music Live, and Animate, has finally begun. This work is a media mix project combining terrestrial short anime and music. Yuuya Hirose plays the protagonist Mizuki Manozawa, who visits a highly unique Harajuku cafe where gyaru, Gothic Lolita, and even centaurs work. The diverse performances of each character are highly anticipated.
Behind the Project and the Cast Lineup
This extensive project is planned and produced by Plott, with Lantis from Bandai Namco Music Live handling the music, and Animate in charge of promotion. The cast includes Nobuhiko Okamoto, Showtaro Morikubo, and others like Tetsuei Sumitani and Sohei Horigane. Nobuhiko Okamoto voices the 50-year-old manager Hitoshi Haragawara, while Showtaro Morikubo plays Sho Dogen-zaka, who is in debt of 2 trillion yen.
Visuals and Music that Color Harajuku
The visuals are crafted by Aka Akane, featuring vivid colors and flamboyant costumes characteristic of Harajuku. Alongside the launch, a teaser PV and a music video for the first song, "Aisare Houdai!! Himegoto House///♡," have been released, exuding the unique atmosphere of Harajuku. More positive songs designed to energize the audience are set for future release.
