Regarding the R-18 stuff, I intentionally spoiled myself and there were indeed sex scenes but the most explicit it could get is just simple kissing in the bed. Not as hardcore as I would have thought.
Listen to the love U kiss series, there's more stuff. Although the CDs are kinda hard to find on public downloading sites, I have most of them.

Don't expect him to sing at all in Dynamic Chord because he's sworn to stop singing character songs forever. I won't go into the reason but it has to do with a copyright scandal he experienced in the past.

That's why I said the song he did for Hatsukoi Monster took me by surprise after many years of him with no singing for chara songs only narrating/reading lines.

Oh well. We will see if the girls don't turn out to be Brother's Conflict/Amnesia levels of blandness.

I've been following the CD series for a while now but I haven't really listened to drama tracks or played the games yet. If you're curious, my favourite vocalist is Liar-S' and my favourite character is Egu's.

To answer a few questions:

Five of my friends played the game (which is on PC) and they've all had nothing negative to say about the female protagonists. @Tenshi_Shura

Spoiler but only one out of sixteen male characters are gay. The rest are straight. So, no it is not fujobait.

Only the four vocalists sing. In the shuffle units, the vocalists are the same as the main units except the instrumentalists are from other units. Their first CDs will be released on Feb 22 and the seiyuus have performed their songs already live. I posted the set list of the 2017 live already and if anyone is interested, pm me.

The drama CD series AND the game both have R18 content, like sex and stuff. I have no clue if the Anime will animate anything like that. We will see.

Anyways, I'm really excited for this series as the plot seems great and so do all of the CGs in the game and PVs.

If you want to listen to some of the songs, go to their official YT channel for the PVs. Its not your typical Love live/Utapri idol stuff but actual rock genre. My favourite song is Stella from the entire series, but out of Honeybee's music, it's beauty and the beast.

Right haha at least I count that as singing for chara song and not narrating.


True, I guess it's the closest thing we'll get for the time being.

Here is Sakurai singing legit. @Shadow-Chan

surprised Terashima and Eguchi were cast as the vocalist with other members, imo, having better vocals in terms of singing
Hmm, yes I agree in Liar-S, Kakki > Souma > Terashi > Noburin

But in [rêve parfait], Egu is definitely the strongest singer, with Tori and Kimuryo slowly falling behind. They're all above average singers. No one is really on Aoi Shouta level.

Mystic Messenger better be next ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

As what the Vndb says, each band have a protagonist.

For Apple polisher the protagonist is a adult singer, she is strong and love singing and


For reve parfait, the main character is teen and she is the childhood friend of both the twins Aki and reon, she is a serious girl and the class president of her class.

For Liar-s the main character is adult and rich, she got tricked fast and ignorant. She is boring character I guess XD

Lastly for feat kyohso is A 23-year-old recent graduate who had newly entered the music company "DYNAMIC CHORD". Konoha is cheerful and positive. She is currently the manager of KYOHSO.
(Copy paste from vndb)

Not sure which one they will animated, I guess they will do it all.


Wow. They all sound uninteresting. Will watch for the boys only.


Hahaha, everyone is going to do the same thing (I guess) XD

I had this on my plan to play vn list, so of course I'm interested. But I also still remember the Starry Sky adaptation failure, so I'm not fully convinced yet :<

This is probably gonna be complete garbage to add to the already huge flammable wastage of " bland music group otome adaptations that are basically all the same show" but I'm still gonna watch it. Primarily bc I'm curious about the music aspect...I mean we have a lot of reverse harem idol anime, but one about J-rock bands?

Sign me the flack up.

Glad to see someone has the same idea as I do. I'm tired of reverse harem, girls always have bad personalities, like WTF, I swear if I was the protagonist of a reverse harem anime.......let me stop before a war start. And yes, I want to ship them too, the girl will be so annoying.


Essentially.

Listen I am all for actual well written female protagonists. But these are far too few so in these kind of shows I'd rather they don't exist because there's just no point and interactions with the character take up time that could be used to actually develop the ENORMOUS CAST AND RELATIONSHIPS!

(Also when I say these kinds of shows I do NOT mean shows like AkaYona and stuff bc those kind of shows are from shoujo manga and have excellent female protags that I love sooo)


I understand. That's what I'm trying to say, girls from Otome games never made any sense, like look at Utapri, I'm big fan of it and I love all the guys. I know all of them are in love with Haruka but what about her? Is she in love with someone? Like I'm not sure and yes look at Yona, she's cool and I like her too and she love someone atleast, so instead of these girls, no need for them to appear or atleast let them be like b-project. (Were the protagonist is not in love with anyone, which is good)

LOL funny how I feel the exact opposite. I hope there isn't a female protag in it because inevitably she will probably have 0 personality and be pushed around by EVERYONe and it's not likethere's going to be a conclusive romance anyway so there's zero point imo.

AKA I'd rather ship my boys together, which I'm going to do anyways, but I find that there's no point to there being a female protag. Shrug.jpg whatever happens happens tho I guess.
