Ayaka Sakai is a college student and musician who often performs at Shibuya Station Square. However, she only plays guitar and never sings because of her introverted personality. A cognitive manifestation of Ayaka as a phantom idol under the codename Chord was created by Merope from Nagisa Kamishiro’s cognition. She used to be the guitarist and songwriter of a band she joined in high school, invited by her friends. After graduating, the members went apart, hence their band performance was also paused. Still, Ayaka continues her song writing out of her passion to music. The protagonist encounters her when she is looking for her busking permit and eventually makes friends with her. He gets to learn skills of playing bass from Ayaka, and Ayaka gains courage to sing in front of people from him.

Voice Description: Medium-high female vocal range. Very upbeat at her best, very dejected at her worst, Ayaka's mood can often shift quite quickly, mainly because of her introverted personality, but it's clear she always puts her best foot forward. Slowly regains her confidence over the course of her synergy.

Extra: If possible, please also include a link of you singing within your audition. This can be a YouTube video, social media post, raw audio file, etc. This is completely optional, but as Ayaka sings her own theme and sings throughout her synergy, we would lean towards somebody who can perform as both a voice actor and a singer for the character. We are still more than willing to cast somebody who may not be a singer, so please don't let this deter you!
