Today, Kyoto Animation announced a new collaboration with composer Evan Call. Director Ishidate Taichi (from Violet Evergarden series) is working again with Evan Call to create picture books that come with accompanying CDs. Saito Shigeru is the music producer, with illustrations by Yamazaki Shiori and story by Sato Ayano.
"We were alone in the world and met under the stars, brought together by that melancholic song. Let's set off into the night, guided by the stars."
(translated by me from the official website)
The first picture book has been announced and ready for order. It is titled はぐれ星のうた (Song of the Lost Star).
"Once upon a time, a child was born in the forest. With blue eyes, the boy's name was Lazuli. He was a kind and gentle boy who loved his mother's songs.
When Lazuli turned twelve, he found out that he was not really his mother's child, and ran away from home. Filled with sadness, he met a youth named Eden at a church. Eden had beautiful blonde hair and was about the same age as Lazuli.
Eden knew about the 'blue fruit' that Lazuli was carrying. This fruit was a precious gift from Lazuli's mother. And the two of them set off on a journey to find the place that bears this blue fruit."
