Sega‘s ambitious idol group project is confirmed to launch on 01/02/2019.
Readyyy! Project features an exclusively all-rookie seiyuu cast. Rookie seiyuu from 81 Produce, Artsvision, Ken Production, Atomic Monkey and Aoni Production auditioned for the roles.
The story
On Readyyy!, the player takes the role of a rookie producer working for “Dear Production“, entertainment company that is only now producing their first idol sensations. The producer will be sharing dormitory with the 18 idols and getting to know them under the beautiful picturesque scenery of Kamakura.
The project made a big bet in promoting the units through several events that included live performances and reading. For a whole year the members of SP!CA, Just 4 U, Maten Rocket, RayGlanZ and La-Veritta have been actively promoting the game.
A total of 6 events are available on Readyyy! Project’s official youtube channel (a note that there are no subtitles).
