Harajuku Himegoto House: New Short Anime With Music Project
Plott, Lantis and Animate unveil seven unusual hitmen, along with a teaser and the project's first song.
The new original project Harajuku Himegoto House combines a short anime for Japanese television with music releases. Plott is developing the series together with Bandai Namco Music Live and Animate. For the announcement on November 9, 2026, a first key visual, a teaser PV and the cast of the seven main characters have been released.
Seven Hitmen in a Café in Harajuku
The story centers on Mizuki Otokozawa, who dreams of becoming the strongest hitman. Searching for the supposed hideout of legendary killers, he travels to Harajuku. Instead of a menacing headquarters, he discovers a pink café where an unusual group works: among them a gyaru, a Gothic Lolita character and a centaur. The plot is designed as a turbulent comedy about the seven killers.
The character designs come from illustrator Akiakane. Her style also shapes the published visual, with bright colors, striking hairstyles and numerous accessories. The story and the music are meant to build the world of the project together.
Voice Cast, Production and First Teaser
Yuya Hirose voices Mizuki. Other roles are voiced by Tetsuei Sumiya as Mero Togariishi, Sohei Horikane as Takara Rokurokuso, Masaru Yoshimura as Kentaro Jinbayama and Takuma Nagatsuka as Yuki Inubo. Nobuhiko Okamoto voices café manager Hitoshi Haritsukekawara, and Showtaro Morikubo voices the character Sho Dogenzaka.
Plott is responsible for planning and production, while Bandai Namco Music Live handles the music through the Lantis label. Animate supports promotion. The project was already presented at the Animate Girls Festival on November 7 and 8 in Ikebukuro.
