| R&D Co. Ltd. Launches GIRLS GIRLS IDOL PROJECT: One-Year Idol Group With Open Path to Agencies |
R&D Co. Ltd. unveils a talent incubator that blends idol group activities with freedom to explore professional opportunities elsewhere.
An event production company R&D Co. Ltd. has officially launched the GIRLS GIRLS IDOL PROJECT—a limited-time audition initiative designed not only to debut a new idol group, but also to act as a springboard for aspiring talents seeking long-term careers in the entertainment industry.
The project kicks off with an open audition, beginning 12 May 2025, to select members for a new idol group that will be active for just one year.
However, the true innovation lies in the group’s structure: while performing and gaining exposure, participants will also be actively supported in their search for representation by other talent agencies.
This project specifically aims to empower individuals who are uncertain about where to start in the competitive idol industry.
By offering a "practical training period" through real-world experience—such as live performances and digital content creation—R&D hopes to bridge the gap between raw talent and professional placement.
Unlike traditional idol groups that may tie members to long-term exclusive contracts, the GIRLS GIRLS IDOL PROJECT stands apart with its open-door policy.
Members are free to accept offers or be scouted by other agencies at any point during the project, removing common entry barriers and promoting smoother transitions into professional careers.
Participants will also have the opportunity to appear in high-profile events such as TOKYO GIRLS GIRLS (TGG), a nationwide showcase with growing prominence in the idol scene. This exposure is expected to significantly boost their visibility to industry professionals and fans alike.
