Synopsis[]
Karen found a script in the script storage room, titled "Requiem ~Session of Reminiscence~".
The script, which has absolutely no record of being performed, was written by a Seisho Music Academy alumnus.
It is a story of a certain high school orchestra club.
Touched by the author's thoughts embued in the script, Karen decides to perform it at a regularly held recital.[3]
Roles[]
- Karen Aijo as Kokone Yukihira (雪平心音)
First violinist.
Born into a musical family, both of her parents are professional orchestra players.
Her personality is extremely bright and she accepts anything negative with a positive attitude. Though she is aloof, which makes it hard to understand her true feelings, she has an unwavering dedication to "making people happy with music".
Favorite piece: Dvořák's "Humoresques"
- Mahiru Tsuyuzaki (Dec. 3) / Junna Hoshimi (Dec. 4) as Chizuru Ifukube (伊福部千弦)
Second violinist.
When she was young, she played the piano, but when she was in fourth grade at elementary school, she happened upon the sound of Kokone playing the violin in a music classroom, and was left fascinated. She is Kokone's one and only best friend, who cleans up after her messes.
Favorite piece: Bach's "Air on the G String"
- Maya Tendo (Dec. 3) / Kaoruko Hanayagi (Dec. 4) as Kyōko Mayuzumi (黛 響子)
Pianist.
She is the most diligent amongst all the members of the orchestra club, and aims to become a composer.
Despite being jealous of Kokone's musical talent, she acknowledges Kokone's songs the most.
Favorite piece: Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata"
- Futaba Isurugi as Makoto Hisaishi (久石真琴)
Cellist.
She has a strong, masculine personality and is the type to say what she wants to say clearly. She is always calm and observant of her surroundings, and acts like a leader who keeps the wildly different members of the club in order.
Favorite piece: Bach's "Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1"
