``Ghost Concert: Missing Songs'', which will start broadcasting on April 5th, is an original anime created by KADOKAWA and the sound team Elements Garden led by Noriyasu Agematsu, and developed as a ``Song Battle Series'' following ``Senki Zesshou Symphogear''. Set in a near future where singing is forbidden, the story begins when the main character, Seria Aiba, hears a singing voice that is supposed to be forbidden and meets a "ghost."
Todera, who sang the opening theme song ``Gama REQUIEMER'' as Seria, says that he was conscious of the ``rawness'' of Seria's strong feelings and determination in the recording. Also, the important point of this work is "Possession Requiem", which is a song that Seria sings while possessing Cleopatra and other "Great Ghosts". Seria gets close to the Great Ghost's ``karma'' during his life through the Possession Requiem. The songs in Elements Garden are known to be highly difficult, but Fujidera recalls that he had practiced a lot since then for "Possessed Requiem," which was also the song for the audition. Hidaka also expressed the difficulty, saying that it was an "unknown sound."
Introducing the characters played by each character, Fujitera describes Seria, a high school girl who loves history and can see spirits, as ``pure and hardworking.'' Regarding Yukina, a monk who uses secret techniques to support psychics, Hino says he is ``loyal to his own desires,'' but he also has a lovely side. Cleopatra is a great ghost released from the spirit world. Hidaka said that he values Cleopatra's historical images such as ``the queen of ancient Egypt'' and ``the world's three greatest beauties,'' as well as her ``bewitchingness.''
In the project corner, participants answered the theme "A world where ○○ is prohibited", which is related to the work. To the question, ``What would you do if you won 1 million yen as a prize in a quiz contest in a world where saving money is prohibited?'' Fujitera answered, ``I'll go abroad and see animals,'' Hidaka answered, ``I'll treat everyone (so that they'll treat me later),'' and Hino answered, ``I'll spend it sparingly.'' Their unique sense of money drew laughter from the audience.
