La Corda D'oro 3's story follows a girl named Kanade and her relationships with the orchestra members and other boys at her school. The game inspired the La Corda d'Oro Blue Sky anime. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan last spring. Sentai Filmworks announced earlier this month that it has licensed the anime and plans to release the series digitally and on home video.
La Corda D'oro 3 is also inspiring a stage play adaptation, which will run in Tokyo's Zenrōsai Hall Space Zero theater from September 4 to 13. The stage play's staff unveiled the main cast in costume last Saturday.
The game franchise also inspired a television anime series in 2006, and a television special sequel, La Corda D'Oro ~secondo passo~, aired in spring of 2009. Sentai Filmworks also licensed and released the first series. Viz published Yuki Kure's first La Corda D'Oro manga series in North America.
