Tsukiuta (Template:Lang-ja; Stylised: Tsukiuta.) is a character CD series[1] which started as a music collaboration between Vocaloid producers and popular voice actors, but has now expanded into a media franchise with its own animation, multiple stage plays, manga anthologies, video games, and a range of related merchandise.
Characters
The characters of Tsukiuta. are split into four idol groups under the fictional Tsukino Talent Production. There are twelve men and twelve women, each representing a month of the year.[2] Tsukino Talent Production also manages the fictional idol groups under TsukiPro.
The men belong to the rival sibling units of Six Gravity and Procellarum.[3] The members of Six Gravity come from Eastern Japan, while the members of Procellarum come from Western Japan.[1]
The women belong to the units Fluna and Seleas. They are goddess candidates from a different dimension, unknown to the people on Earth.[1]
