ANM48

ANM48 is a Japanese idol girl group named after its members' animal ears ; who are various types of Kemomimi (or Kemonomimi) (Beast Ears) species.

Created following the reveal of the existence of "monster species" to the general public, the group, with a roster of 48 members, is the first idol group in the world to be comprised of demihumans. The group has become a national success within Japan.

Unlike typical pop groups (which only perform in concerts or television segments), ANM48 has its own performance theater where its members perform live shows daily. The group's latest single, "Everyday Kemomimi (Everyday Animal Ears)", has broken the group's current record of consecutive #1 musical hits.
