The activity of the heroes in “PRELUDERS” will be uploaded through the video streaming service called “Hero Cast”. Their ranking will be decided depending on the viewers reaction. “PRELUDERS” reflects totally to work with the age of social media.
The story of the audio drama developed around the two outstanding action hero teams called “High Five” and “S-quad”. These teams fight battles against “Discord”, who misuses the power to be able to become a hero. “Discord” belongs to the mysterious organization called, “Vice Versa ''.

The first song which is going to be released is “Hero License”. The song will be released on Wednesday the 18th of May. This song is the theme song of, “PRELUDERS” and its lyrics and music are done by Masayoshi Oishi. The song has two versions. One is sung by all eight voice actors of “High Five” and “S-quad”. The other version is done by four members of “High Five” and “S-quad”, separately. Chapter one of the series, “Fate,” from the voice drama is also included with the song on the CD.

[ Junya Enoki ] (act as Asuka Morito, High Five)
This is a heroic story and it is a very interesting project since we are going to promote this through SNS. Please support our new project, “PRELUDERS” which just started!
[ Ryota Suzuki ] (act as Shun Nakamitsu, High Five)
I am playing the character Shun Nakamitsu, who is a hero even though he doesn’t really want to stand out. I hope you find out why each character wants to become a hero. Hope you enjoy it!
[ Ryota Iwasaki ] (act as Minato Haruma, High Five)
Hello, I am Ryota Iwasaki. I am acting as the character Minato Haruma, who is from the Kansai region in Japan and is very active and always highly energetic. I have no idea how I ended up becoming this unique hero figure since I always admired team hero stories since my childhood. (Laugh)
I will do my best to protect the peace of the world with my team member’s Asuka,Shun and Sera. And I hope that “THE PRELUDERS,” will go viral! Please enjoy the story of High Five & the PRELUDERS!
[ Shun Horie ] (act as Sera Kashiwagi, High Five)
I tried to act as this fabulous boy, who loves fashion and make up, glamorously. I felt the passion and strong desire to make this unique character from the staff. The result is amazing and I felt it was fate to meet this new character whom I have never met before. Please enjoy it.
[ Yuma Uchida ] (act as Ko Kujikami, S-quad)
I am Yuma Uchida and I play as Ko Kujikami. “PRELUDERS” is a story of heroes. There are all kinds of heroes but my character Ko is a dark one. You might be attracted to his aggressive and lonely side. There are many unique characters in “PRELUDERS”. Please enjoy the show and all its details.
[ Kento Ito ] (act as Chikage Misumi, S-quad)
A new exciting project has just begun! The project will show the story of the ‘Heros’ and ‘Discode’. We will shout when we do the special action and we will sing songs! I hope you enjoy it!
[ Koutaro Nishiyama ] (act as Ayumu Rando, S-quad)
I am Koutaro Nishiyama and I am acting as Ayumu Rando. I was drawn to the smooth atmosphere around Ayumu Rando from the first time I saw the character. Especially the question why did someone like him decide to fight a battle…!
Please enjoy the story development which has a great tension! I myself am very excited about it!
[ Kouhei Amazaki ] (a act as Kota Karasuma, S-quad)
All members of S-quad are so cute but Kota is especially cute!!!! I can say that he is like a small dog who barks a lot. I feel like I want to pat his head gently and touch his hair with affection when I am acting as him!
The story is so interesting and I am looking forward to seeing how the story goes. I hope you also like this project and enjoy the development of the story! Please enjoy “PRELUDERS”!
[ Masayoshi Oishi ]
I have been working on the theme song focusing on the view of the world, “Everyone has a license to become a hero"! I am confident about the result and believe it is a very good song! I hope you will find your hero and he will come and save you!
Each song’s music video has been created right now with the animated characters.
Furthermore, original content, like PR programs and four-frame cartoons, are going to be released through the PRELUDERS Official YouTube Channel and Official SNS. Don’t miss it!
