Selection Project

SELECTION PROJECT is a music and slice-of-life TV anime produced by Doga Kobo, based on the multimedia project of the same name. Directed by Daisuke Hiramaki with series composition by Yuya Takahashi, the series follows a group of aspiring young performers—including Suzune Miyama, Rena Hananoi, and Mako Touma—as they compete in a fierce idol selection contest while forging unbreakable bonds along the way. Blending the thrill of competition with heartfelt everyday moments, SELECTION PROJECT delivers a compelling blend of music, passion, and personal growth that fans of idol and slice-of-life anime will find irresistible.

Set in a world where the nationwide idol competition known as the "Selection Project" promises to transform nine lucky contestants into full-fledged stars, this story follows Suzune Miyama, a girl who has battled illness ever since she was young. Throughout her difficult years of recovery, the music of beloved idol Akari Amasawa served as her greatest source of comfort and strength, shaping a dream she never dared to forget. Now in her final year of junior high school, Suzune takes a bold step and enters the very same audition that once launched Akari to fame—competing among thousands of hopefuls for one of only nine coveted spots. Carrying both her admiration for her icon and her own quietly burning ambition, Suzune steps onto a stage where friendships, rivalries, and the true meaning of chasing a dream await her.
