The website for the television anime of Masakuni Igarashi's Tune In to the Midnight Heart (Mayonaka Heart Tune) manga revealed on Thursday the show's second promotional video, theme song information, key visual, and January 6 debut.
Suisei Hoshimachi performs the opening theme song "Tsuki ni Mukatte Ute" (Attack Toward the Moon), and Soala performs the ending theme song "Koe no Kiseki" (Trails of Voices). The above video previews both songs.
The anime will premiere on January 6, and will air on Kansai TV and Fuji TV's newly announced "Ka-Anival!!" programming block that airs on Tuesdays at 11:00 p.m. JST. The anime will also air on BS Asahi starting on January 9.
The anime stars:

- Rumi Ōkubo as Nene Himekawa
- Sayumi Suzushiro as Iko Kirino
- Miku Itō as Shinobu Uzuki
- Rikuya Yasuda as Arisu Yamabuki
- Kana Hanazawa as Lemon Ando
Masayuki Takahashi (Butareba: The Story of a Man Turned into a Pig) is directing the anime at Gekkō, and Yukie Sugawara (Overlord) is in charge of series scripts. Tomoyuki Shitaya (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, Bakuman.) is designing the characters.
Kodansha's K MANGA service is publishing the manga digitally in English, and it describes the story:
When Arisu Yamabuki was all alone in bed at night, he was able to find solace in the voice of a radio host who went by “Apollo.” However, one day, she simply stopped broadcasting without any explanation. Years then passed, and Arisu is now a second-year high-schooler. He makes it his mission to search for Apollo, as there is something he wants to tell her. He doesn't know what she looks like, or even what her real name is, but he manages to get some leads on her in his school's broadcasting club. That's where he meets four girls who all dream to get a job where they can make full use of their voices! Just who is Apollo, and how will those four's dreams pan out?
Igarashi (Senryū Girl, Detectives These Days Are Crazy!) launched the manga in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in September 2023. The 10th volume shipped on September 17. Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga and released the third volume on September 2.
