__Death:__ August 4, 2008

She was a popular idol in the early 2000s from the idol group called Iron Frill.

~! __Cause of death:__ struck by lightning during a concert. Because of how she died, she is afraid of lighting. !~

When alive, Ai demonstrated a cheerful and determined personality, but after becoming a zombie she became rather skeptical and suspicious. As she gradually begins to warm up to her group, she begins to act like herself. She has shown a supportive side when aiding the other members with her idol experience.



A typical morning. The usual music. Their normal lives. The peace these seven girls experience will suddenly be destroyed. By the living dead... zombies. A reality that they never wanted a part of, an amazing and terrifying zombie world. They all share one wish: "We want to live." These girls will struggle through this saga, in order to achieve a miracle. MAPPA, Avex Pictures, and Cygames team up to bring you a juicy, 100% original anime. A timeless shocker for all audiences, a brand new style of zombie anime, will soon rise.

One day, Minamoto Sakura lost her life in an unfortunate accident. Then, ten years later… After Sakura wakes up in a strange mansion, mysterious idol producer Tatsumi Kotaro tells her that she will be joining a group of legendary girls to form an idol unit. The seven girls are charged with a quest to save the fading Saga Prefecture and adopt the group name Franchouchou. After overcoming the difficulties stemming from their different ages and different periods of history, their undead zombie bodies allow them to defy expectations of what idols can be. During the final winter of the Heisei era they performed their first featured concert at Karatsu's Furusato Exhibition Hall, Arpino, taking another step towards becoming a legend. Now, in the modern Reiwa Era… The curtain rises on a new chapter in the story of Franchouchou, as they march towards a bright future full of hope.

In the year 2025, Earth is abuzz with excitement over the Saga Expo. Franchouchou is appointed as the event’s ambassador and begins preparing for the main event: a grand live performance at the SAGA Arena. 

But suddenly, a massive spaceship appears in the skies above Saga and launches a full-scale attack across the prefecture. The members of Franchouchou are thrown into panic. Is there really nothing ordinary idols can do in the face of such a crisis…? 

Just then, the legendary Tae Yamada—the only one who hadn’t regained her self-awareness as a zombie—awakens. Declaring her departure from Franchouchou, she heads alone into enemy territory to put an end to the invasion. 

Can the now-splintered Franchouchou come together once more, restore their bond, and save Saga!?
