So what is this show actually about? After some mild digging on my usual sites little information came to the surface. Yes folks, I had to turn to good ‘ol wikipedia to find out what this one’s about. Fuji Touya is a college student who is dating up and coming idol singer Morikawa Yuki. Sounds good already. Nothing worse than watching ANOTHER show about some pathetic dunce trying to find a girl. But only a small niche of people would want such a happy slice of life, so we need drama. Rely on Okata Rina, another idol who is part of the same agency as Morikawa, to add just the right twist to make the show interesting. Now according to the wiki article this was quite the unique visual novel. In fact it was nicknamed White Drug in Korea due to it’s addictive qualities. Since the main character already has a girlfriend the player has the option to stay or leave the current relationship. Damn! Sounds like the show could go in a lot of different directions. White Album is being produced by Seven Arcs, the same people who did Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. Voice talent from two of my favorites, Hirano Aya and Mizuki Nana, only adds to the list of reasons to give this one a go (yet voice talent doesn’t = quality… *cough* Akane-Iro ni Somura Saka *cough*). At this point all I can really ask for is that the one image on MAL is not representative of what the show will look like, because it definitely isn’t very pretty compared to the other art I’ve seen for the show. White Album will premier on January 4th with an undetermined number of episodes.
