Strawberry Prince’s Strawberry School Festival Release Date
Strawberry Prince is a six-member music group that was formed back in 2016 and has since gained a huge following in Japan. You can think of them as a virtual group as they perform with digital avatars and use stage names.
Aside from their original tracks, Strawberry Prince has also performed songs for popular anime, including titles in the Yo-kai Watch and Cardfight!! Vanguard series.
Given their popularity and involvement with anime productions, it’s no surprise that the group will star in a new movie titled Strawberry School Festival.

It will also feature all six active members as the voice actors for their respective characters.
