Konno Junko was an idol from the 80s whose popularity caused the idol boom of said decade. She died in 1983 on a plane crash. She is titled as the Legendary Showa Idol.

Junko seems to be calm, collected, little shy, but also a little serious if not daring. This serious side is shown when she tries to escape the mansion, collaborates with [Saki](https://anilist.co/character/127538) and [Sakura](https://anilist.co/character/127540) in going in the Hot Springs, and when it comes to idols. She seems prone to panic whenever something disturbing happens. Because of the different time period she lived in, her views of Idols contrast from modern times.

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.

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.

Can zombie idols save Saga—and the world!? 

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!?
