A new promo video is here for the Phantom of the Idol anime—known as Kami-kuzu Idol in Japan—which is based on the supernatural comedy manga by Hijiki Isoflavone and set to kick off its broadcast run in Japan this summer. Ahead of its debut we have a new teaser trailer, visual, main staff and additions to the cast.
Daisei Fukuoka is directing the anime, with Yasuko Aoki on series composition, Saori Hosoda on character designs and myu on music for the Studio Gokumi production.
The latest cast additions include Eri Kitamura as Hitomi Shinano, Hitomi Ueda as Kasenjik, Yō Taichi as Tsugiko, Manaka Iwami as Shigutaro, Sei Ôhama as the Narrator and more.
Visual:
Kodansha Comics publishes the original manga in English and describes it like so:
Yuya, one half of the boy pop duo ZINGS, may be the laziest performer in the Japanese music industry. His partner is out there giving 110% every night, but Yuya’s sloppy dancing and his frankly hostile attitude toward the audience has the fans hating him and his agent looking for any excuse to cut him loose. The career of a pop idol just isn’t the path of easy leisure Yuya expected…
After a particularly lifeless concert appearance, Yuya meets a girl backstage. All she wants from life is to perform. There’s just one problem: She’s been dead for a year.
