ARP Backstage Pass English Sub & Dub

About ARP Backstage Pass

If you are hunting for a new music series, ARP Backstage Pass deserves a look (2020). The setup goes like this. The premise: ARP (nominally an abbreviation for Artists Republic Production) is a dance vocal group which holds live performances — featuring singing, dancing, and interactive talking with the audience. The ikemen (handsome) group members include their de facto leader Shinji, the talented dancer León, and the members of the Rebel Cross duo (designer Daiya and composer/writer Rage).

As a music title, performance scenes and soundtrack choices are central. Haruomi Matsumoto, voiced by Wataru Komada, leads the cast you will follow most closely.

If you count yourself among viewers who care about music and live performance, put it on your list. The run is 10 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.

Production & Appeal

The music focus matters here: performance scenes and soundtrack choices are central. With a 4.9/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Wataru Komada as Haruomi Matsumoto, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2020, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
