• KLab Inc., a leader in online mobile games, announced a new multimedia music project called "aoppella!?" based on a story of high school students discovering the art of a cappella.
• "aoppella!?" is KLab's latest original multimedia music project built on the themes of "youth" and "a cappella"!

• Story: It was on that unforgettable day that the boys found themselves changed. In front of them were ordinary high school students just like them. There were no flashy costumes or musical instruments. But the moment they began to sing a surreal harmony filled the air and the crowd went wild. "We want to sing like that! We want to shine, too!"
• High school students captivated by the art of a cappella aim for the top in the exclusive high school a cappella contest, "Aoppella". They try to perfect their pitch as the show is about to begin!
• Cast and Characters: The main characters are an eclectic group of high school students who attend Otowa Public High School and Kanadezaka Private High School. The voice actors who will bring these characters to life have shared their comments to commemorate the project announcement!


Otowa Public High School


• Hajime Suzumiya CV: Ryohei Kimura
• Comment from Ryohei Kimura: Aoppella is finally starting! Not only are the a cappella songs amazing, but the characters and the drama surrounding them are also fun and very compelling. Please enjoy it!

• Rin Tanba CV: Ryota Osaka
• Comment from Ryota Osaka: a cappella was a first for me so the recording was difficult, but I took my time with it and I think we made good music. After recording, they mixed the songs and I was amazed that it really was a cappella! I think we can deliver something that exceeds expectations.

• Michitaka Kariyazono CV: KENN
• Comment from KENN: 10 years have passed and now the project has been revived as aoppella! I am truly honored to be a part of it. I look forward to contributing one note in the song that will make up this story, as the character Michitaka Kariyazono. A cappella. Last time I gave it my all and this time I plan to do the same!

• Luka Shihou CV: Tetsuya Kakihara
• Comment from Tetsuya Kakihara: "perabu!" The 10 years that we have waited to make this a reality have gotten up ready for aoppella!

• Sayo Soenji CV: Tomoaki Maeno
• Comment from Tomoaki Maeno: I am glad to be back. It will be thanks to your support that we can grow together with these characters.

Kanadezaka Private High School


• Maito Coresawa CV: Yuki Ono
• Comment from Yuki Ono: I'm happy to be able to participate in this project again! I hope you can enjoy not just their challenge, but ours as well!

• Mitsuo Ayase CV: Toshiyuki Toyonaga
• Comment from Toshiyuki Toyonaga: A cappella? No, it's aoppella! I hope that this journey with a cappella leaves you feeling youthful!

• Akira Shigaki CV: Wataru Urata
• Comment from Wataru Urata: For the first time, I will challenge the complex genre of a cappella! It was a very good experience because it is a genre that I don't usually deal with. The recording was more fun than I expected, so I want to keep learning more about a cappella in the future!

• Comment from Takuya Sato: Looking at the project and the members, I got excited and had to comment, "This looks interesting!" Please stay tuned! I'll do my best!
