In less than two hours, at 00:30 JST, Episode 01 of GUMI's TV debut series, Koi Suru Dessan Ningyou will air on NHK's E-TV, Aoyama 1SEG Kaihatsu!
To clarify: it's not actually on TV -- it's a web-televised anime short; and GUMI's not actually acting of course, though she does provide the voice for the song the short is based on, as well as playing the part of the actual Main Character's (the Drawing Doll) object of affection. It's not even a series yet, really -- it's the pilot/pitch for a series and will be broken down into four web-episodes that we can watch on NHK's E-TV website.
However, if it gets enough votes to win against the other five pilot/pitched programs, it WILL become a regular show that is included in NHK's roster, providing us with sasakure.UK music sang by an animated GUMI on TV.
If you're a fan of GUMI, please watch the pilot and then vote for it. Voting will open during the program, which will be on 00:30 - 00:55 JST. There is a countdown at NHK's Aoyama 1SEG Kaihatsu website if anyone's worried that they'll miss out.
Via Anime News Network:
Animator Masanori Okamoto is producing, filming, and writing the script for the adaptation of sasakure.UK's song. Popular masked dancer Hitori de Dekiru Mon is acting as the human version of the doll. GUMI plays the girl that the doll is in love with. sasakure.UK has composed enough songs to use as themes for four episodes. sasakure.UK received assistance from Okamoto in composing the songs.
The story revolves around a drawing mannequin who is used by a girl every single day to help her draw. The doll falls in love with her, and one day suddenly gains the power to move.
GUMI, the Vocaloid, will be playing the human character, while Hitori de Dekiru Mon, a human, will be playing the inanimate drawing doll character. How awesome is that?
The short will be animated using the Pixilation technique and you can view an example of Okamoto's work in the ANN article.
I hope everyone manages to watch it!
