Plot
In the year 2008, high school girl Sakura Minamoto is abruptly killed in a traffic accident. Ten years later, Sakura, along with six "legendary" girls from various eras of Japan's history, are brought back as zombies by a man named Kotaro Tatsumi, who seeks to save Saga Prefecture by putting together an all-zombie idol group known as Franchouchou.
Characters

- Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano (Japanese); Ricco Fajardo (English)
- A manic producer and necromancer who resurrects Sakura and the other girls as zombies to revitalize Saga Prefecture by forming the idol group Franchouchou, tentatively titled Death Musume and Green Face by him. He is a skilled make-up artist, able to make the zombies look like normal humans during their public appearances. He also carries a supply of dried squid with him to appease the zombies.
- Sakura Minamoto (源 さくら, Minamoto Sakura)
- Voiced by: Kaede Hondo (Japanese); Brina Palencia (English)
- A high school girl and aspiring idol who dies in 2008 after being hit by a truck.

Her idol nickname is Zombie 1 (ゾンビィ1号, Zonbii Ichi-gō).
- Saki Nikaido (二階堂 サキ, Nikaidō Saki)
- Voiced by: Asami Tano (Japanese); Caitlin Glass (English)

- Ai Mizuno (水野 愛, Mizuno Ai)

- Voiced by: Maki Kawase (Japanese); Amanda Lee (English)
- A soft-spoken idol from the Shōwa period who was popular during the 1980s before dying in a plane crash. Coming from an era without social media, she has reservations towards personally interacting with her fans. Her idol nickname is Zombie 4 (ゾンビィ4号, Zonbii Yon-gō).
- Yugiri (ゆうぎり, Yūgiri)
- Voiced by: Rika Kinugawa (Japanese); Stephanie Young (English)

- Voiced by: Kotono Mitsuishi (Japanese); Dawn M. Bennett (English)
