“Utahime Dream” is a media mix music project by Earth Star Entertainment that began in June 2023. The story depicts the passionate tale of the unique “Utahime,” who sing the divine songs of the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras. They compete for the “Utahime Queen” title, using their singing and performance as weapons across various media. Mainly on the official YouTube channel, they have released a series of cover songs known as the “Divine Song Relay 100,” where each song is a unique interpretation of a classic. They have also developed original songs that reflect the spirit and energy of the project.
They sang the opening and ending themes for the TV anime “I Parry Everything ~The World’s Strongest Reverse Misunderstanding Wants to Be an Adventurer~” in July 2024. In addition, the manga “Utahime Dream” began serialization on February 13, 2025. The TV anime adaptation was announced at the biggest live event in the series’ history, “ANIMAX presents Utahime Dream’s Biggest 3rd Live A Major Announcement with Everyone on-site – supported by Lemino,” held at Toyosu PIT in Tokyo on February 24.
A total of 29 songs were performed on the day, including the first performance by Takeuchi Yume as the new character SAKURAKO, the most ever. Towards the end of the show, a significant announcement was made, including the holding of the 4th live concert to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of the “Utahime Dream” project, a tie-up with the TV anime to be broadcast in the fall of 2025, and the start of a new project, “Fure Fure, Kimi no Haru,” where songs will be performed in collaboration with several famous artists.
The concert ended with huge cheers from the audience. Gomez, who created the original character design for Mashiro Kiyomi, sent an illustration to celebrate the decision to make the anime. Comments were also received from the cast members who will be playing the characters, including Yamazaki Reina (Yumesaki Ibuki, 崎 is pronounced “tatsusaki”), Suzuki Anna (Sakuragi Maika), Sonohara Arisa (Mashiro Kiyomi), Hana (HiREN), Isobe Karin (Mizuki Hikari), Sumi Tomomi Jena (Takagi Rin), Kurachi Reo (Hagiwara Himawari), and Takeuchi Yume (SAKURAKO). Further information on the TV anime will be announced on the official website and X (formerly Twitter). Yamazaki Reina (role of Yumesaki Ibuki) Congratulations on the decision to make “Utahime Dream” into an anime! I’m so happy we can finally deliver the news we’ve been waiting for so long! This is my first attempt at voice acting, and I’m excited about it. I want to learn and absorb from the senior Utahime voice actors and do my best to make “Yumesaki Ibuki” shine as vividly as possible, so please continue to support the anime and the “Utahime Dream” project. Suzuki Anna (role of Sakuragi Maika): Congratulations on the decision to make “Utahime Dream” into an anime! Since the project started, I’ve dreamed of making it into an anime. I’m so happy to be able to announce it to all the fans who always support me…! I will play Sakuragi Maika, the “absolute queen of anime song Utahime.”
I hope Maika’s songs reach many people. Thank you for your continued support! Sonohara Arisa (role of Mashiro Kiyomi): Thank you for your continued support of Utadori. Sorry to have kept you waiting. Utahime Dream is finally being made into an anime!! I’m thrilled that Utadori is being made into an anime. What kind of story will it be? I haven’t been told the details yet, but I’m sure it will be an exciting story with the cute and unique Utahimes.
Would Mashiro Kiyomi show off her unique skill of making sweets in the anime? I would also like to breathe life into Kiyomi with all my heart. Please look forward to the anime adaptation of Utahime Dream…! Please continue to support Utadori. Hanaya (role of HiREN): Congratulations on the decision to make it into an anime! It feels like a dream… I encountered many wonderful songs through my work as HiREN in “Utahime Dream.”
The moment the decision to make it into an anime was also an irreplaceable memory.
This is all thanks to everyone who supports Utadori daily. I am grateful that we delivered “Utahime Dream,” which the staff and cast all worked on with love, as an anime. As a “heartbroken song singer, HiREN,” I want to comfort those crying alone, and I hope to deliver my songs and songs with that thought in mind. Please look forward to the anime broadcast date…! Isobe Karin (voice of Mizuki Hikari): Congratulations! “Utahime Dream” is being made into a TV anime! I’m so happy to finally share this fantastic news with everyone! Until now, “Utahime Dream” has been content with singing the divine songs of the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras and has communicated with everyone who supports us through “songs.”
From now on, through the anime, I think it will be an opportunity to get to know the world view of “Utahime Dream” and the characteristics of each character more deeply. As the parts shrouded in mystery until now become apparent, the charm of each song will also deepen and reach everyone, so I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of chemical reaction will occur! I’m looking forward to the completion of the anime together! Jena Sumi (role of Takagi Rin) I’m Jena Sumi, who plays Takagi Rin. I’m happy that “Utahime Dream” will be made into an anime. I’m very moved to think that it has finally been made into a TV anime after going through various activities such as live performances, event appearances, and tie-ups while receiving the staff’s thoughts. I have nothing but gratitude.
My bond with Utahime has deepened, and I have gained more encouraging friends. I want to keep running with all the fans who have supported me for so long. And I will continue to do my best to convey the charm of the Utahime Dream to many people. Thank you for your continued support. Reo Kurachi (role of Hagiwara Himawari) Utahime Dream! Congratulations on the anime! The anime is made possible by the love and passion of everyone involved in the work, not to mention everyone who supports it. I’m thrilled, and as a cast member, I feel a sense of responsibility.
As Hagiwara Himawari, I will do my best to convey her honest words, voice, and way of life. I’m also looking forward to seeing how the “songs” that are the core of Utadori will be delivered in the anime! The anime will help people learn more about Himawari-chan, and I hope that the circle of Utadori will expand even more than it is now…! Yume Takeuchi (role of SAKURAKO) Today, on the 24th, which is also SAKURAKO’s debut live performance, announced the decision to make the anime! I am thrilled to be able to announce this to everyone again on this memorable day.
I have no experience in anime dubbing, but I will grow with SAKURAKO to fill the work with the charm of the Utahimes. What makes me happiest is that I have made friends working towards the same dream and met everyone who supports it. “Never let the light go out, forever. The miracle you believe in will be on your side.” Utahime Dream, which gave me such an encounter, will reach even more people. Please continue to support Utahime Dream!
