I checked out some of the links. The artwork and melancholy piano tracks (including one with cicadas) makes me suspect this will stab me in the heart.

I'll give it a chance.

Not exactly a lot to go on so far, but it definitely sounds interesting enough to make me want to watch it.

That anything likely involves idoling.

I see nothing that says this is going the idol route, idol anime usually show what they are from their first announcement.

Pretty sure there will be a PV released during Anime Japan week.

The premise has my attention so far.
