虹のコンキスタドール (Niji no Conquistador)
Niji no Conquistador (aka Conquistador del arcoíris) is an idol unit created by Tsuku-dol! Project this July. Tsuku-dol! Project is an organization that aims to raise idols, voice actors, illustrators, cosplayers, and creators. They are assisted by powerful creators from various fields: music written by Ken’ichi Maeyamada, choreography by Natsumi Takenaka (PASSPO☆, UPUPGIRLS KARI), costume design by Mel Kishida, creative direction from Maiko Fukushima, and special advising by Seiji Mizushima. Tsuku-dol! Project comes from the online illustrator communication service pixiv. As of February 2014, pixiv had over 10 million memberships and boasts 3.4 billion PVs per month. Despite the long held belief that fans of 2D (anime, manga, games) and 3D (idols) have trouble getting along, they have united to become potential fans of this group.
(Thanks TokyoGirlsUpdate for the synopsis)
The group is currently in collaboration with pixiv. Their new song, "Pixiv Ondo," is the official song for the website's "illustration matsuri"; in the video, the girls are seen walking around and goofing off in the event's venue.
