The official website for Toei Animation's original anime Girls Band Cry began streaming two new music videos, and also unveiled the key visual, main cast and staff for the anime on Monday. The two new music videos showcase the songs "Nameless Name" ("Na mo Naki Nanimo Kamo," in first video below) and "No Rhyme nor Reason" ("Itsuwari no Kotowari," second video below) from the project's in-story band Togenashi Togeari.
The cast members include:
Kazuo Sakai (Love Live! Sunshine!!, Mushi-Uta) is directing the anime at Toei Animation. nari Teshima is designing the characters. Mari Kondō and Jae Hoon Jung are the CGI directors. Kenji Tamai (agehasprings, Sing "Yesterday" for Me, Samurai Flamenco) is composing the music.
The main character drops out of high school in her second year, and aims at entering a university while working alone in Tokyo. A girl is betrayed by her friends and doesn't know what to do. Another girl is abandoned by her parents, and tries to survive in the city by doing part-time jobs. This world lets us down all the time. Nothing goes as planned. But we want something that we can continue to like. We believe there's a place where we belong. That's why we sing.
Toei Animation is perhaps best known for its work in long-running anime series such as the yearly Precure magical girl series, One Piece, and classics such as Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya, and Slam Dunk. Some of its latest works include the currently airing Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure and Tōsōchū: The Great Mission.
