CASUT00: Interview with producer, Megan Avery

Interview with SERA00 and CASUT00's producer, Megan Avery!

Why does the Infinity Project like to create groups with a high number of rotating members, rather than the mainstream low number of permanent members?

Our company, YS Entertainment, created the Infinity Project in such a way that the mission reflects its name.  I think most fans are heartbroken to hear that their favourite band or group has disbanded or broken up. These problems are usually due to conflicting interests and schedules. The way our groups are set up, everything is taken care of by the management. Our idols can put 100% of their energy towards entertaining and performing for their audience, without having to worry about these things. If a member is unavailable, there are always other members to support her and fill in for her. This way, with such a system, we can go on forever. Rotating members bring new changes to their group, but the spirit stays the same. We don't want ourselves to just be a memory in our fans' minds. We want to always be there, and I think SERA00 is very capable of accomplishing such a feat. If everyone works hard together, we can make this happen.

How many applicants will be accepted for CASUT00's first generation?

The official number hasn't been decided yet, but there won't be as many spots as SERA00's usual auditions. Like you asked, CASUT00 will be trying out a lesser number of official members and trainees. We're all hoping that it will work out, but if it doesn't, we can hire a greater number of second generations. 

What can we expect from Illusionary's concurrent position?

Exactly what was announced in the concert. Because the first generation of CASUT00 won't have seniors setting good examples like SERA00's trainees do, the three members will provide that temporary support. After six months, they'll be on their own, but they're first gens after all, right?

When will CASUT00 debut?

When they're ready. We can't tell at this point, but we would like to debut CASUT00 before the new year. They will cover SERA00's singles and stages until they are ready to release their own. 

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Actually, there is something interesting... In SERA00, being in a relationship is not forbidden but is highly frowned upon. It will not get you expelled unless scandals surface. In CASUT00, there will be no love-ban rule. Members are free to do as they choose with their love life, and must regulate themselves accordingly, as scandals will continue to cause expulsion. However, any concurrent members will conform to the rules of their home group, unfortunately for any hopeful Illusionary girls (laughs). 

Thanks for your time, Miss Avery. 

No problem. We're all waiting to meet CASUT00 and looking forwards to seeing them succeed as a group. 

Please support SERA00!
