A recent update on the official YouTube channel for Toei Animation's anime Girls Band Cry revealed the release of an English-subtitled music video for the song "Ideal Paradox." This song is performed by the fictional band Togenashi Togeari, whose members are the characters in the anime. "Ideal Paradox" follows the release of earlier music videos for the songs "white drizzle in gloom," "Nameless Name," and "no rhyme nor reason."
The characters in the anime are voiced by a diverse cast: RINA as Nina Iseri, Yuri as Momoka Kawaragi, Mirei as Subaru Awa, Natsu as Tomo Ebizuka, and Syuri as Rupa. A team of experienced industry professionals leads the project. Kazuo Sakai, known for his work on "Love Live! Sunshine!!" and "Mushi-Uta," serves as director, while Nari Teshima is responsible for character design. CGI directors Mari KondÅ and Jae Hoon Jung, along with music composer Kenji Tamai, complete the production team.
The story of Girls Band Cry revolves around relatable real-life struggles. The protagonist, who has dropped out of high school, strives for a university education while working alone in Tokyo. Another character grapples with feelings of betrayal after falling out with friends. A third character, abandoned by her parents, tries to make ends meet with a part-time job in the city. The premise highlights the harsh realities and hardships of life but also emphasizes enduring hope and the resilience of the human spirit. Music serves as an outlet and source of solace for these characters, reflecting the anime's overarching theme.
