New Idol Discovery Audition

The New Idol Discovery Audition (新ｱｲﾄﾞﾙ発掘ｵｰﾃﾞｨｼｮﾝ) was a campaign that introduced nine new potential Idol recruits. Producers voted on their favorite Idols over the course of a couple months. The top three Idols that received the most votes were chosen to form a new Unit. The Idol resumes were made available to the public in August 2015, while the two rounds of voting occurred on December 2015, with the final results announced in January 2016.

The top three finalists, Amehiko Kuzunoha, Sora Kitamura, and Chris Koron, were chosen and formed the Unit, Legenders.
