After a successful run in the talent search show Star Power, Akiko Solon, Monica Sacay, and Krissel Valdez lend their voices to Hero TV’s newest anime show Lovely Idol. The anime, which was adapted from a popular series of illustrated short stories in Japan, follows the adventures of a group of young aspiring idol singers who must prove their worth in order to be launched as the next batch of talents in the music industry. The story isn’t a far cry from the Star Power girls’ own experience in real life. “Mga singers and performers din sila na parang tipong kami din sila. Kung kaminagwo-workshop dati sa Star Power, nagwo-workshop din ang Love Dolls (the name of their characters’ group) para makamit yung mga pangarap nila na maging sikat at makapag-perform,” Krissel told Push.com.ph during their second dubbing session last May 2 at the ABS-CBN studios.Karylle also joins them as the lead voice of the pop-idol group. The singer, dubbed as the Kapamilya’s Enchanting Diva, said she feels honored to be one of the voices behind Lovely Idol. “I’ve always dreamed of being a voice in a cartoon,” she said. The Star Power girls also admit they can’t wait to work closer with Karylle. “Siyempre happy kami na kasama namin siya sa project na ito. Kasi si Ate Karylle nakakasama na namin sa ASAP pero hindi yung tipo na nakakausap namin siya, hi hello lang. Hindi namin siya talaga nakakausap kasi nahihiya kami. So we’re looking forward to this. Siya yung lead character dito so sana maka-bonding namin siya. Mabait naman si Ate Karylle eh so hindi naman yun mahirap,” Monica admitted.
Krissel said she looks forward to getting to know Karylle more during their future dubbing sessions together. “Sana makasabay namin siya mag-dub and sana magkaroon kami ng chance na makipag-kuwentuhan sa kanya, not only tungkol sa characters namin kundi pati na rin about life. Gusto naman sana namin na para maiba, yung makasama namin siya sa dubbing session para naman kahit papano magkaroon kami ng bonding at makilala namin ang isa't isa,” she added.
