The original TV anime project "Highspeed Étoile" has announced the addition of two more actors to the cast and the release of two visuals. Additionally, the central plotline has been revealed, focusing on virtual idols and high-speed racing in a futuristic setting.

The new actors joining the series include Yurie Funato and Shū Uchida. They will portray the characters Hikari Hinata and Akari Kuzuryū, who form a virtual idol duo under the name Prima Stella. This information was accompanied by two images showcasing the characters to be played by Funato and Uchida.

The anime is set to premiere in 2024. The cast list already includes names such as Fūka Izumi, Yōko Hikasa, Shiori Izawa, Yui Horie, Ayaka Suwa, Nana Mizuki, Kenichirō Matsuda, and Kousuke Toriumi. They will portray a variety of characters in the series.

Regarding the plot, "Highspeed Étoile" introduces us to Rin Rindoh, a character who once aspired to become a ballet dancer but was forced to abandon her dream due to an injury. After this setback, Rin retreats to her grandmother's house and spends her time as a gamer and NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training).

The story takes a sudden turn when Rin is thrust into the world of racing. The setting is a near-future where technological advancements have made it possible for vehicles to safely reach speeds of up to 500 km/h. This new technological landscape gives rise to a next-generation racing event called NEX Race, featuring AI-assisted control and a mechanism known as "Revolburst."

Rin's entry into NEX Race marks a new chapter in the world of motorsports, promising to bring an even more exciting dynamic to the sport.
