First PV and Teaser Visual

Saki and Kanon Finally Have Voices

The first PV marks the anime debut of its two central voices. Iori Saeki plays Saki Kindaichi, a piano-playing student who gradually reaches out to Kanon.

Sora Amamiya voices Kanon Oikawa, who developed sudden hearing loss during elementary school and has since tended to keep other people at a distance.

The PV Keeps the Story Intimate

Rather than centering on major dramatic set pieces, the footage moves through the girls' first meeting, school life, and smaller moments that slowly change their relationship.

Saki questions the way others treat Kanon and chooses to understand her directly, while Kanon gradually begins to lower the emotional walls she has built around herself.

jizue Scores the Anime

Kyoto instrumental band jizue is composing the series' music, and its score can already be heard in the first PV.

The band has emphasized the challenge of writing music for a story where sound, hearing, silence, and piano all carry narrative weight. That connection gives the soundtrack a particularly important role in the adaptation.

The PV Supports 17 Languages and Regions

The promotional video offers closed captions across 17 languages and regions, including Indonesian.

Those captions also communicate sound and music information rather than limiting accessibility to spoken dialogue alone.

Why This Matters

1) The leads finally have voices

The PV provides the first substantial look at how Iori Saeki and Sora Amamiya approach Saki and Kanon's relationship.

2) Music is directly connected to the story

Hearing, silence and piano are important narrative elements, giving jizue's score a larger role than conventional background music.
