「WHITE SCORPION」の軌跡——本誌独占取材で明かされる新世代アイドル

"Idols x Web 3.0" at the forefront

In October 2023, a new female idol group was born to lead the next generation. Their name is "WHITE SCORPION."

This name expresses the hope that the group will have "innocence" and "sincerity," but also "strength."


Expectations are already building for these girls, who won out of an audition with around 10,000 applicants. Their debut song "Mesasashi Sniper," released on December 7th, has been viewed 4 million times on YouTube in just a month (as of January 9th).

Their second single "Koyote ga Niteiru," released on January 7th, is also off to a good start, and they are showing off their incredible momentum. WHITE SCORPION plans to continue releasing new songs at a rate of once a month.

General producer: Yasushi Akimoto

It's no exaggeration to say that WHITE SCORPION is the idol group to watch the most right now. They were born through the IDOL3.0 PROJECT, which has the vision of "updating idols."

The IDOL3.0 PROJECT was launched in April last year as a project to create a new idol group using Web 3.0 elements such as blockchain and the metaverse.

This project attracted a lot of attention as Yasushi Akimoto, who has worked with AKB48 and Nogizaka46, was appointed as general producer.
