Original anime "Turkey!" set in Chikuma City, Nagano Prefecture, unveils key visual! Distribution cover EP release is decided!

The key visual depicts the five main characters lined up in a row, bowling with serious expressions on their faces. The trajectory of the bowling balls from the front to the back of the visual is very dynamic, and it is a promising sign of what kind of story will unfold in the future.

In addition, "Side Project! (Side Project) 02," a distribution cover EP created based on the concept of "songs that the five members of the Nagano Ikkikan High School Bowling Club would sing if they went to karaoke," will be available on July 5, 2024 (Friday) on various music distribution sites. This EP contains cover songs that match the characteristics of the characters and conveys the charm of the characters through music.

Don't miss the future development of the "Turkey!" project, which is now moving toward broadcast in 2025.
