Next Melody, is a small project that allows all ages to join in and learn more about friendship, life lessons and more illustrated within Idols.

Aikatsu! Next Melody has a very simple Idea to the reasoning of the Project. We want to put a proper figure up for younger audiences, getting Influenced easily by violence within shows and bad-behavior, we would like to Illustrate a different approach to getting Into the mainstream, using more gung-ho and Life-learning lessons rather than Violence as comedy, to help Children have more knowledge of the world without harming their Innocence. Next Melody, is for all ages and is free to be given advice.
