sing a bit of harmony

We’ve now got a second trailer for Sing A Bit Of Harmony, the anime musical Funimation is not just distributing, but co-producing the whole thing. They will be part of the reason it exists! Sing A Bit Of Harmony is about two teenagers….Shion Ashimori, a transfer student, and Satomi Amano, a chronic loner who’s always in the dumps. Satomi is put off by her strange quirks, like singing to him in the middle of class, but once he discovers her true nature, he warms up to having her around. What is that true nature, exactly? ….Shion is a robot! Her AI is a work in progress and she’s “not quite market ready,” but her goal is to write an inspiring song that will not only lift Satomi’s spirits but everyone else around her. The film’s Japanese cast includes Tao Tsuchiya (ERASED) as Shion, Haruka Fukuhara (Kaguya-sama: Love is War?) as Satomi and Asuka Kudo as Touma. Additional cast members include Kazuyuki Okitsu as the popular and attractive Gotchan, Mikako Komatsu

Funimation usually just distributes movies made by other people, but with the upcoming Sing A Bit Of Harmony, they’re co-producing the whole thing. And what they’re bringing to life is a rare genre for anime movies: a musical. We learned from the first trailer that the plot concerns two teenagers….Shion Ashimori, a transfer student, and Satomi Amano, a chronic loner who’s always in the dumps. With this second trailer released today, we found out the truth about Shion: she’s really a robot. Satomi is put off by her strange quirks, like singing to him in the middle of class, but once he discovers her true nature, he warms up to having her around. Shion’s AI is a work in progress and she’s “not quite market ready,” but her goal is to write an inspiring song that will not only lift Satomi’s spirits but everyone else around her. The film’s Japanese cast includes Tao Tsuchiya (ERASED) as Shion, Haruka Fukuhara (Kaguya-sama: Love is War?) as Satomi and Asuka Kudo as Touma.
