Carole & Tuesday: A Story of Music and Dreams

The TV anime series "Carole & Tuesday," which aired in 2019, tells the story of two girls who pursue music and their dreams. The original work is an original work by animation studio BONES and general director Shinichiro Watanabe, and is set on Mars, depicting young people living in a future society led by AI. The work touched viewers' hearts with its themes of music, youth, and social change.

story

In the future, 50 years after migrating to Mars, people's lives are supported by AI, and we have entered an era where music is also made by AI. However, two girls living in this world, Carole and Tuesday, decide to make music with their own hands and pursue their dreams.

Carol worked as a part-timer in Alba City and dreamed of becoming a musician. She always felt that something was missing and pursued her own music. Meanwhile, Tuesday was born into a wealthy family in Hershel City, but she felt lonely and not understood by those around her. She too wanted to express herself through music.

The two meet by chance, recognize each other's talent and passion, and decide to make music together. In an age dominated by AI, their music creates small ripples that will eventually lead to major change.

character

The main character, Carol, is a 17-year-old part-time worker who is chasing her dream of becoming a musician. She is voiced by Shimabukuro Miyuri, whose strong yet delicate singing voice brings out the best in her character. Tuesday, also 17, is a freeloader aiming to become a musician. She is voiced by Ichinose Kana, whose gentle, clear singing voice expresses Tuesday's purity.

Other characters with unique personalities who add color to the story include fashion model Angela (Uesaka Sumire), music producer Tao (Kamiya Hiroshi), and self-proclaimed talented manager Gus (Otsuka Akio). Angela's character in particular contrasts with Carole and Tuesday's pursuit of their dreams, and plays a role in highlighting their growth.

music

The greatest appeal of "Carole & Tuesday" is its music. The title of each episode is taken from the name of a famous Western song, and various genres of music appear as the story progresses. Not only the singing voices of Carole and Tuesday, but also the performances of the other characters are superb, allowing viewers to become deeply immersed in the story through the music.

Mocky and other talented musicians have participated in the music production, providing a realistic musical experience. In particular, Carole and Tuesday's duet "Kiss Me" is loved by many fans as a masterpiece that adorns the climax of the story.

Production

"Carole & Tuesday" is an original work by BONES and Shinichiro Watanabe. General director Shinichiro Watanabe is a creator known for music-themed works such as "Cowboy Bebop" and "Samurai Champloo," and his deep understanding and passion for music is reflected in this work.

Directed by Motonobu Hori and character designed by Tsunenori Saito, the story is supported by beautiful visuals and meticulous direction. Romain Thomas and Brune Stanislas also participated in the world design, creating a realistic portrayal of the future society on Mars.

Evaluation and impact

"Carole & Tuesday" was highly praised as a story about music and youth. In particular, the growth and friendship between Carole and Tuesday, and their passion for music, captured the hearts of viewers and moved many. Furthermore, the setting of a future society dominated by AI was seen as a warning to modern society, and the deep themes of the show were also praised.

This work also had an impact on the music industry. Carole & Tuesday's singing was actually released on CD, and many fans acquired their music. Their songs were also performed at music festivals and live events, providing an opportunity to widely share the worldview of the work.

Recommendation

I highly recommend "Carole & Tuesday" to anyone who loves music, stories of youth, and science fiction about the future. It will be a particularly moving work for those who can empathize with the pursuit of dreams through music. The film also makes you think deeply about the theme of the relationship between AI and humans.

This wonderful work not only gives viewers hope and dreams, but also reaffirms the power of music and the potential of human beings. Please join us on Carole and Tuesday's journey and experience their music and dreams.

It has been nearly 50 years since humanity moved to a new frontier: Mars.
We live in an age where much of culture is created by AI and humans are the ones who enjoy it.

There was a girl who was struggling to survive in the capital, Alba City, while working and aiming to become a musician.
She always felt like something was missing. Her name was Carol.

There was a girl. She was born into a wealthy family in the provincial town of Herschel City and wanted to be a musician.
No one understood her. She felt like the loneliest person in the world. Her name was Tuesday.

The two met by chance. They couldn't help but sing. They couldn't help but make a sound. It felt like they could do it together.

The two of them will likely cause a small stir in these times.
And before you know it, it turns into a big wave.
