Phantom Siita (ファントムシータ / 怪忌蝶) is a five-member Japanese idol group produced by Ado. They debuted on June 26, 2024, with their first digital single "Otomodachi".[1]
Background[]
Phantom Siita was formed with five members who were selected from about 4,000 people through an audition held by Ado with the backing of her agency, Cloud Nine, in November 2023. The concept of the audition was "retro horror" and the assigned song was "Tot Musica".[2][3][4]
The concept of Phantom Siita is "retro horror idol" and they aim to create a new idol image while giving a sense of nostalgia and Japaneseness. The group's name is a combination of the word "Phantom", which are illusions and ghosts, and "Siita", which is a combination of the scientific name of the Monarch butterfly, Parantica sita, and the scientific name of the swallowtail moth, Epicopeia hainesii.
"If modern idols are "butterflies", then Phantom Siita is a "moth", a heretical existence in the idol industry. It's frightening and beautiful, making you want to reach out even though you know it's scary."
