True Tears/Hanasaku Iroha/Tari Tari Crossover Music Video Animated

The Blu-ray Disc for April's "True Tears x Hanasaku Iroha x Tari Tari Joint Festival" concert will include "Utopia," a brand-new animated music video starring the main characters of these three anime titles from P.A. Works. "Utopia" is the song that was composed expressly for the event, and P.A. Works then animated a music video for the 90-second version of this song. Lantis posted a half-minute sample on Sunday:

The concert featured musical performers who contributed to the three titles' songs, including eufonius and Aira Yuki for True Tears; nano.RIPE, Sphere (Ayahi Takagaki, Haruka Tomatsu, Minako Kotobuki, Aki Toyosaki), and clammbon for Hanasaku Iroha; and AiRI and the Shirahamazaka High School Chorus Club (Ayahi Takagaki, Asami Seto, Saori Hayami, Natsuki Hanae) for Tari Tari.

The "True Tears x Hanasaku Iroha x Tari Tari Joint Festival" Live BD set will go on sale on December 25. The two Blu-ray discs will include the concert footage itself, the "Utopia" music video, and the special movies that were screened onstage during the concert. The limited first edition will add a "ultra-deluxe" box (illustrated by Yumehito Ueda, Mel Kishida, and tanu), a booklet "jam-packed with content" like new interviews, a CD with the "Three memories" medley by the string quartet at the concert, and the choral arrangements of the anime titles' theme songs.
