break my case :

The music variety is so fun and the rhythm-puzzle gameplay is so engrossing!! The depth to all the characters in the story with a setting that's very down-to-earth makes it feel like these guys are my friends and coworkers for reals.

hanadoll :

MY FAVORITE MUSIC PROJECT OF ALL MUSIC PROJECTS EVER. the basic premise is that there's this idol agency ( amagiri production ) looking to create the "perfect idol" and in order to achieve this, they developed a flower implant technology to nuture the potential of their idols. it currently has three seasons of voice dramas ( the fourth one is coming soon, which they just announced along w an anime for the s1 dramas in 2025 !! ) the first season follows the "main" idol group, anthos, in their predebut days and their struggles of "blooming" their flower seeds in order to become a full fledged idol group. season two adds another group, louloudi, and follows both them and anthos after their debut ( s2 also adds a new member to anthos !! ) and finally season three is well. i shant say but it's so good you gotta trust me i've been a fan for like. three or fourish years now its been great<3 aside from the story content though, the songs are truly so good !! i'm rather partial to s1 and s3 anthos music but basically everything slaps rlly hard wehehehe :] the lyrics are also insane and there's lot's of hint and puzzles/riddles/clues abt the story presented in them and in the mvs themselves !! also the art is gorgeous thank u teita <3 overall the project is just really really cool and honestly i think everyone should give it a try. trust :] ALSO last point but if anyone cares abt seiyuus here they have SUCH a good vocal cast its insane. in anthos we have seiichi, massun, itoken, tokishun, horie shun, daiki hamano, and wataru komada . . . then in louloudi we have tosshii, yamashita daiki, and takeuchi shunsuke . . . soooo good ouhh

Beloved silly crazy science media where a bunch of guys are implanted with a seed that blossoms when they reach their true potentional. The media is dark delving into different forms of trauma as we navigate the relationship ships between each of the members. The concept is super unique and the description of the blossoms blooming sounds so painful that I was shocked to read about it in a silly music franchise. The songs are ... so good lyrically and make you stare at a wall for a while.. the designs for all the characters really stand out. It's got some strange slightly immoral human experimentation science in a music media what more could u want.

actors songs connection :

the og vocaloid cover music project !! has a really big cast of guys who cover lots and i mean LOTS of popular vocaloid songs ( one of them covers the end of hatsune miku its insaaane ) they often change the instrumentals a bit as well, so there's some variations aside from them just covering the songs !! also has an anime which is pretty funny to be honest lol

julie and the phantoms :

Pretty much every song from this show is available on Spotify and YouTube to listen to. Not just songs from the titular band, but also songs from the guys' old band, Sunset Curve, and even songs from rival group Dirty Candy.

aoppella :

seen my friends talk about it and therws this pink guy who i thibk looks fruity but silly

a really unique music project !! they do acappella covers and original songs, all of which are really awesome :] there are also quite a lot of tls done by a friend of mine if anyone's interested in the story !! it basically follows three groups of high school boys and their journey with singing acappella its very neat !!

show by rock :

It's about multiple bands in a world of kemonomimi people. It has both boys and girls, and it has quite a big variety of music styles, so I believe it has something for pretty much everyone! Specifically in the games, it even has bands that are tie-ins with real bands! It also has a bit of a magical girl/boy-esque element, with these things called Dark Monsters that the characters defeat with the power of music.

ensemble girls VS. jem and the holograms

propaganda under the cut !!

ensemble girls :

OKAY predecessor to enstars. while they only have 2 or so songs themselves (Let's Make★Ensemble and Sacred Gods Above, Droplet of a Black Moon) which you should listen to they're still so intertwined with enstars i think it counts. the song for ring.a.bell in enstars was adapted from a poem ruka wrote about suzu. several characters (namely ruka and chizuru) have made appearances in enstars stories. a lot of enstars characters were based on engirls characters (tsukasa = botan+yako, mao = mai, etc). more enstars characters are implied to have met other engirls characters (ibara and yuzuru having met tsubasa, leo having met ruri & ruka being his sister, eichi having met seira, etc) and also anzu is there. yeah. not getting into this further or propaganda will be a mile long

submitting again to add on more propaganda :3 the main story is about the new transfer student (anzu from enstars' stepbrother) getting pulled into student council elections! the original stuco president stepped down, so they had to re-elect — transfer student, gets dragged in by himari tsurumi and has to help her win ! they go through all of the competition — hajime kodama, the school's "living god". she doesn't want to run, but she was elected. she's not a living god, but they think she is. ayame kusaka, dubbed "the overlord". she's just a smart girl who likes cute things, but is a bit creepy. think mayoi from enstars. suzu kuromori, "the fallen angel". anzu's best friend. she's running to plunge the school into chaos, as she's mad at everyone for making anzu have to transfer. she thinks that if it's all chaos, anzu will come back. :( she leads the rock band club, too, and they're her biggest supporters! mitsuru yomo, the school's "prince". she doesn't want to be president, and is the current vice president. the school idolizes her for her masculinity, but she just wants to wear cute things :( she's pretty chill and reika enjouji, "her majesty". former student council president who dropped out. for some reason she was running again. she's kinda rude and just. princessy. after all of this, himari gets elected, blah blah. then there's silly events after that :3

jem and the holograms :

THE OG 2D MUSIC FRANCHISE. Jem was out here being a fictional idol with a glittery transformation sequence all the way back in 1985. Original music videos from the bands in every episode. Nobody does it like Jem. Also in the 2015 comic reboot they made a bunch of the characters wlw we love to see it
