Aim for the top idol in the world of the extreme! Sneak into the recording studio where the main cast of the summer anime "Back Street Girls -Gokudolls-", Yuzuka Nukui, Kaori Maeda, and Hikaru Akao, are planning to take on the challenge!

The highly anticipated summer anime "Back Street Girls -Gokudolls-" has started a challenge project "Gokudolls: The Road to Idol" by the three main cast members!


Back Street Girls Gokudolls" (serialized in "Young Magazine", Kodansha) is an anime based on the manga by Jasmine Gyu, in which three male gangsters undergo sex change operations to make up for their misdeeds and debut as the idol group "Gokudolls The three men are forced to undergo sex change operations to make up for their misdeeds.

Yuzuka Nukui (leader Iri Yamamoto), Kaori Maeda (Mari Tachibana), and Hikaru Akao (Chika Sugihara), who play the members of the Gokudolls, have started a challenge project called "Gokudolls: The Road to Idol," linked to Twitter. Since May 28, the Gokudolls have been showing their numerous reckless ...... challenges on Twitter.

This time, we went undercover at the recording site! We would like to report on the scene with photos.

The first thing the three challenged themselves to do was to introduce themselves! The three members talked about their enthusiasm for the ordeal that awaits them, but their expressions showed a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.


After changing into jerseys, the project finally began! The first challenge is to strike a "signature pose". As an idol, you must be able to introduce yourself in a cute and unique way, so we started with Ms. Nukui as the leader of the group.

Despite being the top batter, Ms. Nukui surprised the staff with her high quality self-introduction, which immediately raised the bar. Watch the actual video to see what kind of poses he came up with.

He then put his forehead on a baseball bat and spun around in a circle. After that, they had a showdown to see if they could stand upright while balancing on one leg, and a kendama challenge. The Gokudolls then challenged each other to a series of physical challenges, including a showdown to see if they could stand upright while balancing on one leg, a kendama challenge, and a jump-rope challenge. Will the girls be able to overcome these challenges and grow up to be great idols?

Follow them on Twitter and watch the videos uploaded daily to see the results for yourself!

We have also received comments from the three girls during the recording process. We hope you can feel their enthusiasm from their words.

Cast Comments

Yuzuka Nukui (Leader, Aili Yamamoto) I feel that this project has trained me in many ways, especially in my mentality (laughs).

Hikaru Akao (played by Chika Sugihara) Indeed, I feel like I was trained in many ways.

Kaori Maeda (played by Mari Tachibana): I thought there might be an Inukin gang leader (the boss who gives trials to the Gokudors in the main story) among the staff (laugh).

──Don't you feel that the synchronization with the characters you are playing is getting better and better?

Maeda I could see the direction, especially the leader (of the character)!

Nukui: It was really hard to be the top batter!

Akao Mari is trying to run with the comedy character, is that okay?

Nukai When are you going to bring out the sexiness and coolness?

Maeda: Follow her up, you know.

Nukai I'm glad (Akao) has more special skills! Besides, your talent for kendama suddenly blossomed, didn't it?

Akao I was so surprised even though it was my first time today! (Editor's note: Please watch the actual video to see the blossoming of the talent!)

─ ─ Finally, do you have any comments for those who are looking forward to the anime?

Nukai: For those who know the original work, please look forward to seeing how it will turn out when it is made into a movie. If you have not yet seen the original work, I think you will enjoy it in real time by comparing the original work and the anime. Please look forward to seeing how it will turn out when it is made into a movie! We are looking forward to working together with the other cast members and staff to make the production more exciting. We look forward to working with you in the future!

Maeda: I think it is a novel thing for the people inside to take on a project like this. First of all, we hope to enjoy ourselves and use the experience we gain in our weekly postrecordings. We are looking forward to the challenges and the relationships that are becoming more and more complicated (laughs). We haven't met each other that long, but our relationship has grown closer in this short period of time, and I hope that the three of us and the staff will become one and aim to be the strongest idols in the world of the Kyokudo together!

Akao: This story is so hard that I am not sure if it can be made into an anime, but I hope we can overcome the gang leader's painful ordeal and make the work as exciting as it is. I feel that we are all growing together and getting closer and closer to the characters, so I hope that we can all work together as one and be involved in the work.

─ ─ Thank you very much!
