Square Enix producer Yōsuke Saitō (Dragon Quest X, NieR) confirmed during the live-streamed “[Squa-Eni Shin PJ] Saitō-P no Game Dewanai Nanika o Hirō-me Suru Hōsō.” program on Saturday that his company is collaborating with the talent agency Dearstage (Dempagumi.inc) on a virtual idol group named Gems Company.
He also noted that “Gems Company” is the name of the idol group, not the overall project.
Saturday program introduced each of the 11 current members complete with voices, although the staff did not reveal the voice cast members’ identities.
The members already have YouTube channels and Twitter accounts that have been active for up to four months.
