“ARCANA PROJECT”, a new female idol unit project was announced on Dec. 15 as a new collaboration project between “Dearstage” and “Lantis”. The 6-member vocal unit's theme is based on tarot cards.

“ARCANA PROJECT” is the result of a collaboration between “Dearstage”, the agency behind for idol units “Dempagumi.inc” and “STAR☆ANIS” from anime “Aikatsu!”, and “Lantis”, music publisher responsible for producing numerous anime hit songs. The 6-member group is set to debut in 2020. Basing their style around the theme of 'tarot cards', the unit is set to challenge various genres of music while honoring the anime-song world, which the members are part of.
