Princession Orchestra

Princess-Session Orchestra was conceived as a new magical girl project featuring “battle while singing”—a concept refined from the popular Symphogear series.

The story and original idea were crafted by Akifumi Kaneko, bringing his expertise in blending vocal music and action.

Production brings together notable companies such as King Records, Aria Entertainment, and Takara Tomy, famous for producing toys and IPs with lasting kid appeal.

Director Shin Oonuma and scriptwriter Manta Aizora (Manta Aikū) aimed to create a series that appeals to both children and adults, ensuring highly expressive battle scenes choreographed with song and dance.

The staff also emphasized capturing the emotional nuances of each performance directly during voice recordings.

The magical land of Alicepia is at the center of the story—a secret world accessible only to girls who truly wish to realize their dreams.

It has its own time flow and is full of quirky, fairy-like residents called Alicepians.

Alicepia is a paradise where singing, dancing, cooking, and just having fun are everyday activities.

Access to Alicepia is now through "Alicepia Channel," an internet platform disguised as a regular streaming site to adults and boys.

Here, only girls can access “Entrance” videos that transport them to this magical world.

In an era where joy and courage form the backbone of a secret musical realm, Alicepia, peace is threatened by monsters called Jamaock.

When these monsters begin to steal the energies of joy—known as Myuchikara—from girls, Alicepia's light fades.

It’s here that three destined heroines appear:

• Minamo Sorano, a shy but kind 13-year-old who loves baking and uplifting friends, transforms into Princess Ripple.
• Kagari Shirube, the charismatic song-and-dance prodigy idolized as Alicepia's diva, fights as Princess Zeal.
• Nagase Ichijou, the optimistic and impulsive junior, becomes Princess Meteor after overcoming self-doubt.

Supported by fairy-like Alicepians and their friends, these girls sing and battle to reclaim stolen Myuchikara, restore hope, and bring new melodies to the world.

Alicepia:

A secret world accessed only by girls seeking to pursue their passions.

Entry is via the "Alicepia Channel"—an internet video platform where special videos transport chosen girls.

Myuchikara:

The mystical energy found in Alicepia, born from joy, excitement, and musical activities.

It powers the heroines’ transformations and abilities; when stolen, girls lose their spark.

Song Fragment (Uta no Kakera):

Crystallized Myuchikara. Used by girls to transform into “Princesses.”

They take the form of jewels, then become microphones used for battle and power-ups.

Princess:

Legendary songstresses who appear to defend Alicepia.

Each transformation encases their individuality and empowers them through a personalized singing style and magical attire.

Jamaock:

Monsters summoned by the hostile group Band Snatch to steal Myuchikara.

They evolve by absorbing energy and can only be defeated by the Princesses.

The anime is broadcast on TV Tokyo and other TXN-affiliated networks, as well as via CS on AT-X.

Simulcast and streaming take place on Amazon Prime Video, ABEMA, Bandai Channel, and others.

King Records releases music and Blu-ray collections, while Takara Tomy produces transformation toys, costumes, plushies, and character goods.

Special pre-broadcast programs introduce new viewers to the world and main cast.

A key production approach is recording all battle songs in tandem with animation, reflecting subtle differences in performance based on in-story situations.

Director Shin Oonuma highlighted complexities in syncing mouth movements to live-recorded battle singing, leading to painstaking editing.

The team brings together experts in design, sound, and animation, ensuring a polished, energetic, and emotionally resonant series.

Opening: “Absolute Diva Declaration!” performed by Orcheria, composed and written by Noriyasu Agematsu, arranged by Daisuke Kikuta.

Ending: “Orchestra Connecting with You” by Orcheria, lyrics by Spirit Garden, composed and arranged by Daisuke Kikuta.

Each Princess also has unique character songs performed in pivotal episodes, adding flavor and emotional intensity to their battles and growth.

Princess-Session Orchestra is accompanied by a wide range of official social media, including a dedicated website, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube Alicepia Channel.

Merchandise includes role-play toys for transformation, plush dolls of Alicepian creatures, and collectible goods aimed at fans of all ages.

The anime's colorful cast, positive messages, and musical battles continue to resonate, positioning it as the next big thing in magical girl entertainment.
