Introduction

PRELUDERS is an original mixed media project created by W・A / PONY CANYON featuring character designs by POKImari.

According to PONY CANYON, this project mixes seiyuu with heroes and music, counting with characters full of individuality.

The project has a star-studded cast that will tackle voice dramas and music.

An announcement video featuring Junya Enoki and Yuma Uchida is available on PRELUDERS’ official YouTube channel.

Synopsis

With the “Great SNS Era”, everyone can easily communicate their opinions and works to the whole world.

At the same time, it is no exaggeration to say that “the qualities of an individual” are the most questioned in the midst of the high praise for diversity, narrowing inequality, peace and preserving the environment.

There is more than one way to be a hero. There are as many hero “images” as there are people—-

This is a story of young people with power and aspirations aiming to shape themselves into heroes.
