The idol group ‘Toi Toi Toi’ has been created as part of the ‘Dark Idol’ project, initiated by Mikuru Asakura in collaboration with ABEMA and ASOBISYSTEM. 

The members were selected during the ‘Dark Idol’ audition program, which aims to give women a second chance in the industry, and the footage is available exclusively on ABEMA. Kaori Ichijou, Kyouka Taniya, Moka Hashimoto, Tina Hoshino, and Sara Maegaki were selected during the audition process, and the sixth member has been announced as Momo Sakura, a former dancer and gravure model.
The group name, Toi Toi Toi, means “It will work out” or “You’ll be fine!” and was inspired by a spell that is recited while praying for the success and happiness of others. Inspired by the concept of “Be Alright,” the girls aim to be an inspirational presence that can only come from having experienced both hardships and joys in their lives.

Toi Toi Toi will be unveiled for the first time at the “Sugoi Live” to be held at EX THEATER ROPPONGI on April 4. Fans are asked to keep their eyes on these girls who have matured even more since their audition and are eager to be on stage.
