An anime adaptation is announced for the novelization of Vocaloid producer rerulili’s “Young disease outburst Boy” (“Chūbyō Gekihatsu Boy”) song. Posted on the official website of Minato Tonami’s novelization of the song, no cast or staff details have been revealed as of yet.
Sasaki Kouhei, which is the real name of rerulili, also known as ToushahiP, is a producer who started publishing original Vocaloid songs back in 2009. While he has created a number of songs using a wide variety of Vocaloids, the producer is best known for his songs using Miku, GUMI, and Len.
Among his songs, his most notable works include "Jigokugata Ningen Doubutsuen”, which features songs of various producers following the ‘Girl’ theme and the “Kotonoha Project”. Like with “Young disease outburst Boy”, "Jigokugata Ningen Doubutsuen gained its own adaptation in the form of a manga and light novel adaptation. With “Young disease outburst Boy”, other than a novelization, which will have its eighth volume to be shipped on October 1, the song also had a stage play and a manga series adaptation by Megumi Hazuki last year. Another song of the producer, titled “Nou Shou Sakuretsu Girl” (Spinal Fluid Explosion Girl), gained a live-action film in 2015.
The story of “Young disease outburst Boy” a.k.a. “Chūbyō Gekihatsu Boy,” tells the story of high school girl Mizuki Hijiri. She has just transferred schools and in her new school, she ends up encountering some rather colorful male classmates.
What makes them so colorful? They all suffer from a chūnibyō, a sort of phase/”disease” which entails adolescent delusions of grandeur. There is Noda, who dreams of becoming a hero, the tragically handsome otaku Takashima, who only likes 2D girls, Nakamura, the supposedly “reincarnated” angel or devil, and the self-professed string-puller Tsukumo.
Vocaloid is a singing voice synthesizer software which enables users to synthesize “singing” by typing in lyrics and melody. Initially, its signal processing part was developed through a joint research project led by Kenmochi Hideki at the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain, in 2000, and was not intended to be a full commercial project. When it gained a backing of the Yamaha Corporation, it developed the software into the commercial product “Vocaloid”.
