Utahime Dream anime confirms production with trailer and key visual
The Utahime Dream anime will presumably feature the titular “Utahime,” or “Songstresses,” persona who were chosen from various performers in varying eras. More specifically, they are chosen from voice actresses, stage actresses, and singers, and perform songs from the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras. The project first launched in June 2023 and has since produced various original songs and covers, and several live performances.
Singers from the group have also previously performed theme songs for various anime. Two of the most notable include My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, and I Parry Everything: What Do You Mean I’m the Strongest? I’m Not Even an Adventurer Yet! anime series. The project’s upcoming new song “Kiseki Nanka Iranai,” or “I Don’t Need Something Like a Miracle,” will serve as a theme song for an upcoming anime in Fall 2025.
The premise of the project is that the various Utahime members represented within use song and performance to compete against each other. It is presumed, but not confirmed as of this article’s writing, that the television anime project will incorporate this into its plot somehow. The project is also having a fourth live concert celebrating its second anniversary, with a date to be announced later. Cast members for the larger project include:
- Rena Yamasaki as Ibuki Yumesaki
- Anna Suzuki as Maika Sakuragi
- Arisa Sonohara as Kiyomi Mashiro
- Kaya as HiREN
- Carin Isobe as Hikari Mizutsuki
- Tomomi Jiena Sumi as Rin Takagi
- Reo Kurachi as Himawari Hagiwara
- Yume Takeuchi as SAKURAKO
In addition to the television Utahime Dream anime series, the project also began a manga series illustrated by Hiyoriri in February 2025. The manga is serialized in Earth Star Comics’ Comic Earth Star manga publication magazine, and is aimed at a shonen demographic. It is unclear as of this article’s writing whether or not the anime and manga projects will be related or share any elements.
Fans can expect additional information regarding the anime project in the coming weeks and months. As of this article’s writing, the anime has no official website and no dedicated social media account.
