WATCH THE TRAILER
Your time as a producer has come! Aspiring idols need guidance on their journey to stardom and only you can provide it.
Etoile Vie School is a special academy designed to teach and train idols to be. 32 idols-in-training across 9 different groups, also known as “I-Chu”, have been chosen to attend this academy and are all working hard towards their major debut.
Alchemist and Tenjou Tenge are two of the older groups you will encounter, let's see what you can expect from them!
Alchemist
Known as "Generation Zero" I*Chu, and originally formed by the school's CEO, they see themselves as superior to the rest of the groups and look down upon them.
The three-piece band focus on high octane rock music and are led by their leader Kuro Yakaku. His mysterious hatred of the producer has caused some resentment amongst the other I*Chu.
Tenjou Tenge
A 4-piece that loves to feature traditional Japanese instruments in their music, they also wear traditional japanese dress to complete the aesthetic!
Led by Tsubaki Rindo, he is Seiya's idol and the reason he joined the I*Chu to become a Samurai Idol. But does Tsubaki support him to follow in his image, or does he want Seiya to forge his own path?
If you're a veteran of the rhythm game genre or a total newbie, a wide range of difficulty levels from Easy to Nightmare will ensure that there's an option just right for you.
The fast paced rhythm action is accessible with both the Nintendo Switch's joycon buttons or touch inputs on the screen. Play a variety of J-Pop tracks with an I*CHU team of your choice! Mix and match to get the best bonuses and abilities!
Using the in-game gacha system you can roll for the I*CHU team you want without paying a penny in microtransactions. Unlock currency as you progress through the game to build a dream team that suits you.
