I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Don’t you tend to watch anime that centers on things you like?

In this article, we’ve rounded up works where music takes center stage.

From classical and idol songs to rock bands and wind ensembles, the lineup spans a wide range of genres.

Blue Orchestra

Anime “Blue Orchestra Season 1” PV Teaser 1

Blue Orchestra

Hajime Aono, the protagonist, had won numerous prizes in violin competitions and was regarded as a promising talent.

For certain reasons, he withdrew from the front lines and distanced himself from the world of music.

However, in the autumn of his third year of middle school, his encounter with Ritsuko Akine prompted him to resume performing.

The two hone their skills in the orchestra club at the high school they go on to attend.

There, Hajime meets Nao Saeki, and the two become rivals—but Saeki himself is the person who caused Aono’s temporary retirement.

The story depicts their evolving relationship, as well as the friendship and spirited rivalry among their peers.

The model for the manga’s Kaimaku High School is a real school, Chiba Prefectural Makuhari Sogo High School.

Based on experiences the original author, Makoto Akui, gathered through on-site research, it is a coming-of-age ensemble drama.
