The robotics department facing closure
The Chuo Tanegashima High School Robotics Research Club was left with only two members: Kai Yashio and Akiho Senomiya. Qiu Sui insists on completing the giant robot, while Kai Xiang focuses his energy on robot fighting games. The survival of the club and the creation of robots force two people with different personalities to continue cooperating.
Jundao reports
The portable terminal "PokeCon" with augmented reality features has become widespread locally. Kai Sho accidentally discovers an AR annotation called the "Kimijima Report," which records Kou Kimijima's exposure of a global conspiracy. The campus activities originally centered around clubs are thus linked to the island's anomalies.
Characters and production
Other characters in the work include Subaru Hidaka, Frau Kamishiro, Junna Daitoku, and Airi. Kaishou is voiced by Ryohei Kimura, and Akiho is voiced by Aino Nanjo. Chiyomaru Shikura was responsible for planning and original work, Tatsuya Matsubara as producer, and Naotaka Hayashi in charge of the script; Tomonori Fukuda designed the characters, Makoto Ishiwatari designed the machinery, and Tsuyoshi Abo handled the music. JAXA and Nitroplus are listed as collaborators.
After the original version
The 2014 release of "ELITE" updated the original work, first launching on PS Vita, followed by PS4 and Switch in 2019. The sequel, DaSH, continues the life after the Robotics Club incident, reuniting graduated members on Tanegashima; It is different in nature from the ELITE redesign.
Original soundtrack and theme song single
In 2012, 'ROBOTICS; NOTES' original soundtrack on two music CDs with a total of 44 tracks, including a short version of 'Expandプレイス' and 43 soundtracks; The third CD was a special broadcast special. The track-by-track catalog credits the composition and arrangement of 43 tracks to Tsuyoshi Abo, including versions of "Tanegashima no Kaze," "Robot Research Club," "ROBO-ONE," and several piano arrangements. Original OP "Expansion Place" lyrics and music by Chiyomaru Shikura, arrangement by Kosuke Oshima, directed by Zwei; The ending single "Under the Sky Correlation Chart" was written and composed by Chiyomaru Shikura, arranged by Kosuke Ooba, and another ending single was "Three Hundred High Priests Wearing Steel Armor."
The starting point of the main theme
Abao just explained that the main theme "Robotics Notes - Activate!" -》is based on the promotional video for the new title released at the 2011 Tokyo Game Show. He intended to use it at the end of the story during its creation.
Club Veterans, Family, and Funds (2012 Main Article)
The predecessor of the Robotics Club was founded by Akiho's sister Misaki, and the first president, Mitsuhiko, later became a teacher and advisor. Akiho inherits her sister's goal of a giant robot and, through her father Kenichiro, director of the Tanegashima Space Center, requests JAXA's cooperation; Mitsuhiko's uncle, Sumio, runs a candy company that produces Space Ame, providing sponsorship to financially struggling organizations.
Members' Techniques and Families (2012 Main Article)
Kamishiro Frau is a programmer in the Killbara development team, transferred from Canary Academy to the school's Information Processing Department. Subaru is familiar with robotics technology and likes realistic robots, often clashing with Akiho's animation preferences and production direction; His father, Hongwu, made a living by fishing. Junhe's family runs a karate dojo, with her handling meals and housework; As a child, she had an accident at her maternal grandfather, Tetsuji Fujita's robot clinic, which made her afraid of robots ever since.
Sister's Classmate and Work Relationship (2012 Main Story)
Misaki was a high school classmate of Mizueno and Mitsuhiko, and Mizueno was also her close friend. Mizuenoki runs the family store at Irei Store. She lost her lower body mobility in a traffic accident during university and relies on HUG to get around. Misaki is responsible for publicity at Exoskeleton, with Toshiyuki Sawada as her boss; As an adult, Tao Tennoji works as a new researcher at the JAXA Chofu Space Center.
Channel manipulation and spread on Twitter (2012 main story)
Players open Tsuipo in PokeCom and select replies for specific content, thereby setting branch marks. After Haixiang collected the Jundao report, its spread online became linked to social information chaos, and the latter part had to face the public's perception of manipulated information as reality.
Early conceptualization of tools and performance (2011 production talk)
In a 2011 TGS talk, Chiyomaru Shikura explained "拡張" as slightly expanding the meanings of contemporary science and AR, and proposed using PokeCom's AR and social applications to advance the story. The goal of the performance is to strike a balance between literary adventure and animation, adding more action to everyday scenes.
Winter Sky Rocket's Independent Story (Radio Drama Scope)
Naotaka Hayashi writes a new story for the winter of 2019 for the radio drama CD. Kaixiang accidentally learns that the bottled rocket height record set by Misashi about ten years ago remains unbroken, so he attempts to surpass 200 meters alone, connecting his wish to beat her with his dream of becoming a young astronaut. The August 2012 product release was announced for release on September 26.
Expression of the theme song recording
In a recorded interview on March 30, 2012, Ayumu discussed the singing style of "拡張プレイス": she wanted her voice to convey the feeling of high school students humming under a clear sky. Megu explained how to highlight the protagonist during the recording and talked about the harmony between the expansive melodies in the arrangement and the busy strings and drums. The two interpreted the lyrics as an image of the song expanding from the individual to the club, the islanders, and even the world.
Production of theme singles and bonus songs
The coupling track "MONSTER" from the single "Expansion Play" was written by Ayumu and Taeko Okumura, with composition and arrangement by Kenaki Adachi; In 2013, it was included again on track 3 of 'Re:Set'. Another game-themed single "Wearing Steel Armor, Three Hundred High Priests" was written by Chiyomaru Shikura, composed and arranged by Tatsushi Hayashi, and performed by Yui Sakakibara; Its coupling "Ultramarine Valencia" features lyrics by Miko Hazuki, music by Jay_ON, arrangement by Hayashi, and vocals by Sakakibara.
Mix the animation theme with the original OP
On November 21, 2012, the single "Junjou Specttra" was released corresponding to the first season of the TV anime opening, with additional Moonbug remixes, anime dimensions, and karaoke versions, and a PandaBoY remix of the original game OP "拡張プレイス" added to track 3. Re:Set tracks 2 and 12 re-included 'Junjou Spectra' and 'Expanded Place' respectively; In 2014, THE WORKS 8.0 was re-included in the original opening and the 300 High Priests Clad in Steel Armor.
The group perspective and the sister's design
Naotaka Hayashi aims to create a collective portrait of club members, Tanegashima, and Tokyo, using multiple perspectives and vertical divergence. Misaki only joined the project after confirming her dream theme, becoming a distant yet distant target by Akiho's side.
HUG Fighting Draft and Island Opening
The first draft featured a fighting tournament featuring people wearing HUGs, but was later changed to ROBO-ONE, which transitions from small robot technology to giant robots. The opening moves from the stage match to the process of making machines in Tanegashima.
Twipo updates and weekly records
The 2012 version updated Twipo content after the date changed and loaded. The producer suggested trying branches with Daily Record, making proactive browsing and replies part of the progress.
The tone of everyday and dark scenes
Abao placed the island scenery and students' daily music on the side of real instruments like piano, guitar, and strings, while the dark scenes used alternate sounds; The main theme of Hot-Blooded is only quoted in a few musical phrases.
Character memories and the soundtrack concept for the title screen
In the original game's soundtrack, "Memories of My Sister" expresses Akiho and Kaito's shared memories of Misaki, and there is also a piano solo version. The title track "Robotics Notes -2nd theme-" is adapted from the main melody: Abao Gang originally considered a piano version but later wrote this song to enrich the mood.
Bullet Time with music recalling scenes
"TIME-AXIS" was created for Bullet Time to start, emphasizing temporal imagery and ambient musical tones. "The Dream Science Sees" uses the main theme as a piano solo, imagining scenes of recollection and incorporating the convenience and negative consequences of scientific progress into its conception.
