“aoppella!?” is an original multimedia music project built on the themes of “youth” and “a cappella” by KLab. The project plans to release various content that allows fans to enjoy the new world of music and characters in the future. The team is considering, for example, video commentary on the charm of a cappella, character self-introduction previews, original music creation, etc.

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!

Characters and Casts along with messages from voice actors

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!

A cappella was a first for me, so the recording was difficult, but I took my time with it. 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.

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 Michitaka Kariyazono. A cappella. Last time I gave it my all and this time I plan to do the same!

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!
