Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a multimedia franchise created by Cygames. The premise of the franchise is having real life Japanese racehorses reincarnated as horse girls (Umamusume) in an alternate universe. These horse girls participate in familiar races from Japan in hopes of reaching the goals they wanted as a horse. After each race, they perform in the Winning Concert, singing and dancing as idols. The top three finishers of the race would be at the center of the stage, with all other participants as ensemble performers.
