The Exciting Return of "Tsukunoko"
After a seven-year hiatus, Aron Alpha is making a much-anticipated return with its new anime, "Tsukunoko", scheduled to premiere on November 29, coinciding with the unofficial holiday, "Iitsuku Day". This project is part of the company’s ongoing initiative aimed at fostering connections among youth and encouraging them to pursue their dreams and friendships through the lens of a heartwarming and humorous storyline.
The 'Connecting Youth' Project
The "Connecting Youth Project" by Toa Gosei, which produced the anime, aims to allow young people to feel free in their desire to connect strongly with what they love—be it friends or personal aspirations. This new installment has already garnered over 30 million views from previous projects, reflecting its popularity and the relevance of its themes in today's society.
For this latest creation, the storyline revolves around a college student, Imasugu Tsukuno, voiced by Kana Asumi. Tsukuno finds inspiration at a K-POP concert, leading her to pursue a dream of becoming an "Arodoru"—a unique blend of idol and talent, focusing on connecting with people's hearts. She bravely participates in the "TSUKU PROJECT" audition run by the talented producer, Ku Tsuku, played by Koutarou Nishiyama. As Tsukuno faces off against strong competitors, including the formidable rival Haga Suyon, the anime offers not only entertainment but engaging commentary on the challenges of youth in today’s idol culture.
Humor plays a crucial role in "Tsukunoko", with clever quips and light-hearted storytelling throughout. As Tsukuno embarks on her journey of connection and self-discovery, viewers can expect to laugh and cheer her on while navigating the twists and turns of the audition process. The ultimate question remains: can Tsukuno secure her place as a center in her dream project despite various unexpected hurdles? Viewers are in for surprising moments that will keep them on the edge of their seats!
