Yasushi Akimoto to produce male idols, centering activities around a dedicated theater
A male idol project with Yasushi Akimoto serving as general producer has been launched. Auditions for members will be held this summer.


This project was planned through a partnership between Mitsui Fudosan, Tokyo Dome, and Y&N Brothers. The group formed by the successful audition candidates will center their activities around regular performances at a new, dedicated theater with a capacity of approximately 300, to be established in a commercial facility in Tokyo operated by Mitsui Fudosan. The ultimate goal is to hold concerts at the arena- and dome-class level. Details such as application requirements can be found on the special audition website.
Yasushi Akimoto Comment
I was thrilled when I heard about the concept of "creating a theater together with Mitsui Fudosan." When professionals in urban development create a theater and present entertainment, it is sure to become a new culture. I am very honored to have been appointed as the general producer for that content. I hope that everyone will be able to witness each and every moment, thinking, "This is how the future is made."

With our company's commercial facilities as the stage, the next generation of artists will grow and expand their activities to arenas and domes. And we want to fill the city with smiles, bringing richness and vibrancy. We will work to realize such a future.
Believing in the power of entertainment, we will carve out new possibilities together with Mr. Akimoto.
