A Tale of Two Idol Worlds
Aikatsu! follows girls at Starlight Academy striving to become top idols through the use of Aikatsu! Cards and hard work, blending sports anime spirit with showbiz dreams. In contrast, PriPara is set in a magical idol theme park where anyone can become an idol, focusing on the friendships and rivalries of girls aiming to become “God Idols.”
Now, after a decade of popularity and influence, the two worlds collide in a new story packed with "ten years of love" and "ten years of gratitude" for fans who’ve supported both franchises since their debut.
