Currently airing anime Idolmaster SideM, based on the smartphone game of the same name, follows up-and-coming idols attached to the entertainment production company 351 Production (pronounced ‘saikou production’). Each of the idols had for some reason or another quit their previous jobs and has decided to become an idol, meaning there are guys from all walks of life – from lawyers and teachers to models and soccer players. It is the first anime in the Idolmaster franchise to consist solely of male idols.

One of the most popular units in the series is Beit. Its members are Pierre (Shun Horie), Minori Watanabe (Tomohito Takatsuka) and Kyoji Takajo (Yuichiro Umehara). Their unit name comes from the German word ‘arbeit’, which means work, and is commonly used in Japan to refer to part time jobs. Minori used to work part-time at a convenience store, Pierre used to wear mascot costumes, and Kyoji worked as a florist. The three of them were already friends and because Pierre invited Minori and Kyoji, they all joined 315 Production to become idols.

The idols of Beit will collaborate with the shop Tokyu Hands for their ’Real 315 Production Plan’s second round as Wake Atte, Shibuya! Hands de Beit! (There is meaning! Beit at Hands!).

Collaboration Period: 18 November 2017 ~ 8 January 2018
Event Content: Other than Tokyu Hands collaboration goods, goods inspired by A-1 Pictures‘ original illustrations of the three Beit guys wearing Tokyu Hands’ uniforms will also be sold.
