A story unfolds with famous songs. Once again, Japan is swept up in emotion—. In 2013, "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day," a film that transcended the boundaries of anime fans and moved hearts, became a major hit, grossing over 1 billion yen. It broke the record for the second-highest grossing original TV anime, and even a live-action drama was decided, still causing the "Anohana phenomenon" throughout Japan. And this fall, director Tatsuyuki Nagai, scriptwriter Mari Okada, and character designer Masayoshi Tanaka, who have become hitmakers in both name and reality, will come together to create "The Anthem of the Heart," a completely original coming-of-age ensemble drama set in Chichibu once again. Heartbreak, inner conflict, the pain of longing for someone—. The story depicting the bonds between people, along with famous songs such as "Pathétique," "Over the Rainbow," and "Around The World," which everyone has heard at least once, will surely fill your heart with emotion.
