Current Members of Horror Idol 'Akushukai'
What is Horror Idol 'Akushukai'?
A globally innovative horror entertainment IP created by Michael T., fusing horror, Japanese culture, and attraction experiences. The 'cute and scary' members 'Purikira,' 'Jakkuru,' 'Orantan,' and 'Kyan Dedi' are not just horror characters—they embody cuteness, madness, aspiration, and transformation, delivering messages of overcoming daily struggles and fear to become the person you want to be.
Their debut single '3756 Suction Side' is globally distributed, expanding into music, music videos, dance, live stages, greetings, fan clubs, and attractions. The audience doesn't just run from fear—they step into it 'to meet their favorite idol,' introducing a unique 'oshi-activity horror' concept. Horror evolves from 'just being scared' to a world of 'admiration, being supported, and expanding imagination.'
As Halloween Ambassador at Hyatt Centric Ginza Tokyo, live shows at Greenland Amusement Park, new song releases, and new member additions, 'Akushukai' continues evolving by integrating music, characters, and real-world experiences—an 'underground idol' deeper than the underworld.
