Gwen Stefani's animated series lands at Nickelodeon

Singer Gwen Stefani's animated series "Kuu Kuu Harajuku" will premiere on Nickelodeon on October 3, the network announced.
The 26-episode series, co-created and executive produced by Stefani, follows the kuu kuu adventures of the band HJ5 - Love, Angel, Music, Baby and G - through their world of music, fashion and style, reported Variety.
"Stefani (has always had a) love of pop art and lifelong admiration for the street fashion and creative youth culture found in the renowned Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo, Japan," a press release said.
"It was while writing her first solo album that Stefani created the original Harajuku Girl characters as a celebration of the creativity and individualism she saw and loved in the Harajuku District."

Stefani will also serve as an executive producer for the 26-episode first series, and perform the show's theme song.
"The artwork is so beautiful and the whole series turned out better than I could have ever imagined," she said.
Stefani first started to incorporate the Harajuku Girls concept in the songs on her album "Love. Angel. Music. Baby" in 2004, but she received backlash.
