These women are “Musicartou”, representations of legendary music that have been given physical form.
Here’s how the project team describe the series;
Music is power.”
The musical compositions that dwell within girls become their power.
Legendary operas, grand compositions created in an era long ago.
“Musicartou”—new life breathed into those scores.
In a world where music is lost, the girls fight using the power of music in a fleeting, yet beautiful story of fate.
They merely aim for the joy that lies ahead.
