The Awajima Hyakkei TV anime, which follows the girls of the Awajima music academy, has unveiled a two-minute trailer showcasing the newcomer Wakana Tabata and her interactions with some of the other students. The calming trailer, featuring a scene bathed in an evocative blue-green hue, was paired with the announcement of the show’s premiere window in April 2026.
In addition, a character visual for Wakana has been revealed, the first in a series set to be released over the next three months. It was also shared that Nina Nakabayashi will voice Wakana, while Yo Taichi takes on the role of dorm leader Kinue Takahara.
