KARA gets own animated show in Japan


Girl group KARA will get their own animated adaptation that will air in Japan next spring.

On December 1, DSP Media announced, “A traditional animation titled ‘KARA the Animation’ starring five members of KARA as its leading characters is to be broadcast at the beginning of next year. Following its airing in Japan, the series is expected to air in Korea during the first half of 2013.”

The fictional stories will feature each of the members in a different career; Gyuri as a police officer, Seungyeon as an astronaut, Nicole as a passenger boat captain, Hara as security police for the Monaco royal family, and Jiyoung as a sexy and spirited firefighter.

Each group member will provide the voices for the animated versions of themselves, as well as sing the series’ title song. The series will also mark each members voice-acting debut.

An advanced preview of the show will premiere during the groups first performance at the Tokyo Dome stadium on January 6.
