Soundtracks
The first track had a rather sad subject, but the music was quite groovy in comparison. The drummer in Girls Band Cry certainly shined in this song.
However, the song had an incredibly catchy chorus and the singer’s powerful vocals were perfect for this song.
The second track Itsuwari Kotowari was electric. This song had hints of Blues influence that was seamlessly infused with J-rock, which gave rise to an enjoyable track. The video also had an interesting art style that deviated from the CGI that was used in the earlier track.
Plot
In her second year of high school, the protagonist leaves, determined to work solo in Tokyo and pursue admission into university. One girl faces betrayal from friends, feeling lost.
Meanwhile, another girl, abandoned by her parents, navigates the city through part-time jobs. The world disappoints consistently, and plans rarely unfold as anticipated. Yet, amid it all, a desire emerges for something to cherish continuously. A belief lingers in finding a place of belonging, and so, they sing.
Stay tuned for more anime and manga news as 2023 progresses.
