Makoto Furukawa, Yoshiki Nakajima, Kento Ito and more join jazz project, JAZZ-ON!

Jazz takes, for the first time, the spotlight in a female-targeted project.

JAZZ-ON! is a new project created by Akatsuki Inc.

The project follows the story of 2 jazz clubs that are brought together due to a school merger. Swing CATS, a purist Jazz performance club and Hoshikuzu ryodan, group that enjoys Anisong Jazz are the two clubs. The two groups, with completely different values and ideas on how Jazz should really sound become aware of each other and the story begins.

The project counts with character designs by Akatsuki and plus 81 and drama scenarios by Futaba Hatsuki.

The clubs’ key visuals and cast are the following:
