A live-action movie and television series of Oshi no Ko will come out in Winter 2024. This is a joint effort between Amazon and Toei. [Thanks, Game Watch!]
A new key visual for the live-action Oshi no Ko project shows the six main characters re-enacting poses from the anime and manga series. The show will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime. Meanwhile, Toei will distribute the movie in theaters. The release windows for the show and movie are still unclear.
The cast for the live-action adaptations of Oshi no Ko is as follows:
- Ai: Asuka Saito (former member of Nogizaka46)
- Akane: Mizuki Kayashima (Tomorrow, I Will Be Someone’s Girlfriend)
- Aqua: Kaito Sakurai (Ao Haru Ride)
- Kana: Nanoka Hara (Suzume)
- Memcho: Ano (former member of You’ll Melt More!)
- Ruby: Nagisa Saito (former member of =LOVE)
Most of the actors and actresses playing these characters were actually idols before they graduated from their agencies to pursue other careers.
Oshi no Ko is a popular anime and manga series about a pair of twins, Aqua and Ruby, who were fans of the idol, Ai. They find themselves reincarnated as Ai’s twin children, and they become idols themselves to solve the mystery of their mother’s death. Yen Press is releasing the manga in English and HIDIVE is distributing the anime adaptation.
The live-action show and movie of Oshi no Ko will come out in Winter 2024. Yen Press handles the manga outside Japan, and chapters appear on Manga Plus. The anime is streaming on HIDIVE.
