G-MODE announced today (October 15, 2025) that its new title, [G-MODE Archives 58: Gekidan Musume Akane & Aoi], will be released for Nintendo Switch on October 16. The price is 800 yen (tax included). To celebrate the release, a special 10% discount sale will run until December 14, lowering the price to 720 yen (tax included).
“Gekidan Musume Akane” is a vertical-scrolling shooter game centered on Akane, an energetic girl who is constantly late (CV: Asami Sana). Meanwhile, “Gekidan Musume Aoi” features Aoi, a slightly aristocratic and haughty girl (CV: Aiko Okubo), as its protagonist. Players control either the fighter aircraft “Akane B-2 Condor” or “Aoi F-4 Falcon,” navigating through enemy forces toward their destination.
Players can use three types of weapons: laser, shot, and bomb—the latter being effective against all enemies on-screen. Collecting power-up items that appear after defeating specific enemies increases the strength of normal attacks.

Can Akane and Aoi battle fiercely against each other!?
Hot, intense, and heart-racing—this is a full-fledged gal shooter!
This game features two girls as protagonists: Akane, an energetic but chronically late girl, and Aoi, a slightly aristocratic and high-strung girl. The aircraft are rendered in 3D graphics, with voice lines from both characters (Akane voiced by Asami Sana, Aoi by Aiko Okubo) enriching the combat experience. In “Akane’s route,” Akane is rushing to school just before class starts when she encounters Aoi, a wealthy girl from her own school, blocking her path. In “Aoi’s route,” Aoi hurries toward an important piano recital—only for Akane (also from the same school) to chase after her! Will they both overcome each other’s interference and reach their destinations safely?

Announcement at Shū Daizai 2025 and Call for Information Successfully Achieved!
At the Shū Daizai 2025 event held on June 14, 2025, G-MODE announced that Gekidan Musume Akane & Aoi, a previously released feature phone shooter game, would be revived as part of the “G-MODE Archives” project. During development, information about the voice actress for character Akane could not be found in original records. Therefore, G-MODE issued a public call for information via Shū Daizai and its official X (formerly Twitter) account. The response was overwhelming. Thanks to contributions from many fans, we were able to identify the original voice actress and successfully restore the game using the original audio recordings. We sincerely thank everyone who helped.
