Sound! Euphonium Season 3 Reveals Main Visual and Additional Cast

Sound! Euphonium Season 3 revealed the main visual and additional cast members, with the anime set to premiere on April 7. Kyoto Animation is returning to animate, with Tatsuya Ishihara as the director.

The new cast members include the voice actors for the new first-years, Shiina Natsukawa as Suzume Kamaya, Ayane Matsuda as Yayoi Kamiishi, Momoka Terasawa as Kaho Hariya, and Emiri Suyama as Sari Yoshii.

TRUE is returning to sing the opening theme song “ReCoda,” while the Kitauji Quartet, the band from the anime, will perform the ending theme song “Onshoku no Kanata.” The jacket illustration for the opening song has also been released. The anime will premiere on April 7.

The anime is based on the light novel series by Ayano Takeda. The manga adaptation was serialized on the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! Web magazine. The TV anime series has had two seasons so far, both of which were animated by Kyoto Animation. They aired from April to July 2015 and October to December 2016, respectively.

The franchise also has three animated films – Liz and the Blue Bird (2018), Sound! Euphonium: The Movie – Our Promise: A Brand New Day (2019) and Sound! Euphonium: Ensemble Contest (2023). All three were animated by Kyoto Animation. Liz and the Blue Bird serves as a spin-off to the second season of the TV anime.

Yen Press licensed Sound! Euphonium’s novels in English and describes it as follows:
Finding herself, one note at a time…After a terrible disappointment at the All-Kyoto Concert Band Competition, music has lost its spark for Kumiko. But her first year at Kitauji High School is a chance for a fresh start. So when it comes time to choose a club, she can’t resist joining the band again–even though they’re simply terrible. The strict new club director has promised to whip them into shape to reach Nationals, but the trouble runs deeper than just a lack of practice. Plus, the discord within the club tugs at Kumiko’s old insecurities. Will Kitauji High School find its rhythm before the competition? Will Kumiko?
