▍Stage Event @ AGF2019 (*Updated)
Voice actor Junta Terashima (plays as Ijeong Seomoon), Yoshihiko Aramaki (plays as Astukage Hanabusa), and Amatsuki (plays as Mitsuyuki Notohara) showed appearance in the high school uniform of their characters. The party came to life as they read their characters’
lines on stage.

The day before the stage event (9th November) happened to be the birthday of one of the characters, Seriya Hanashiro (花城 芹弥), and a special celebratory video was revealed on stage. Fun thing is that Hanashiro was especially harsh on Astukage Hanabusa (英 篤影), though he was gentle to the others. It seems that the relationships between the characters are also the highlight of the game.
A special campaign “Winds Boys Strolling in Kanazawa” was also announced, featuring voice actors Junta Terashima (plays as Ijeong Seomoon) and Yoshihiko Aramaki (plays as Astukage Hanabusa) as they went on a short trip in Kanazawa. A teaser video was also revealed.
The stage event reached its climax when a wind band was invited to perform the game theme song and baseball-themed song”Southpaw”.
The game is now open for pre-registration. Players can check out the official website and Twitter for more information!
