Ghost Concert: Missing Songs is the spring entry that gets harder to ignore the more time you spend with it. Premiere is April 6, 2026 via ENGI, 12 eps, action register, and the source material is the kind that rewards patient readers.
Where it lives
In the year 2045, singing has been forbidden. Music is no longer created or performed by humans; instead, a music application called MiucS produces all songs on their behalf. One day, a girl named Seria Aiba hears a human singing voice while out with her friends—something that should no longer exist. Following the sound, she encounters a mysterious presence: a ghost. What appears before her is not an ordinary spirit, but a figure from beyond this world known as a Great Ghost. Whether you've read ahead or you're going in blind, the early pacing makes both paths work. Don't read too far before episode three — the adaptation pulls a structural trick that's better fresh.
The hands on it
ENGI runs production, backed by WOWOW, CBC Television, Movic. They're the kind of studio where the storyboarding lead is the byline that should reassure you, not the director-on-marketing-rounds.
When it airs
Mondays at 00:30 (JST). Episode count: 12. Same-day simulcast windows are on the usual Western streamers — check your local Crunchyroll, HIDIVE, or Hulu listing for the timed slot.
Worth the slot?
922 viewers have it at 5.47. Read between the lines: that's not a niche audience, that's broad pickup with steady reception. Worth the time. The season has louder names; this is the one you'll be quoting in August.
