Expectations for Idol Densetsu Eriko


Idol Densetsu Eriko is another one of those series that has been frequently requested, and it's one of the hidden gems of anime that almost no one knows about.  I had the DVDs imported quite a while back in case we did get the chance to do it, and the opportunity finally came to fruition.  This series is one of the predecessors to modern idol anime today.

We will be jointing with KiteSeekers Fansubs for this project.  We will be supplying translation checking and encoding, plus any other assistance that may be required.  The translator for this project has already done the translations up to episode 6, so we expect releases to happen with some regularity.

We hope you all enjoy this journey as Eriko becomes a singer herself as a result of what happens to her after the accident with her parents.

  1. Glad you finally got to do this series! I'd like to watch it myself, but I can't because of school and my horrible laptop. But I hope everything goes well, and try not to push yourselves too hard.

  2. Do you also have the DVDs for episode 29-51? Or are they available online? I checked CDJapan and they only have the 1st boxset listed (now OOP).

  3. Idol Densetsu Eriko was one of series I have suggested licca fansub to consider when you guys was looking for suggestion and I have been waiting for the next episode ever since that was released few years back, so I am thankful for licca has decided to pick up this series, I am a major fans of the idol type series like creamy mami, fancy lala, full moon and most recently we have the AKB0048. I have even got my hand into the french release just to know a bit more, never got hold of the japanese raw, now I just can't wait to see ow things develop i this series, especially something major happen in the first episode, just like "Lady Lady".
