As announced, the official YouTube channel for the idol-themed Aikatsu! franchise has posted a three-minute special music video for “Shiny Day,” a brand new song performed by the newly-selected eight members of the unit Aikatsu 8 2020 and Hana, the protagonist of the upcoming new TV series Aikatsu Planet! In addition to their singing voices, the clip features lots of past CG live footage of the idols.
To support the new series, the Aikatsu! franchise held an online poll to choose the eight members of the new unit “Aikatsu 8 2020” from August 8 to September 6, and its official YouTube channel announced its members one by one last month.
Aikatsu Planet!, the Aikatsu! franchise’s first live-action and animation hybrid TV show is set to premiere on TV Tokyo and its affiliate stations in Japan on January 10, 2021.
