[PROLOGUE:]

(The Special Disaster Response Team - Section Two, 2031.)

A group of scientific researchers are experimenting with an ancient relic classified as Ame no Habakiri. The head scientist of the project and the creator of the Sakurai Theory, Ryoko Sakurai. She was working on powerful armor used to combat the Noise. They were created by arcane techniques in ancient times, but the technology to replicate them is long lost. They can be found in ruins, but the ravages of time have taken their toll. It's extremely rare to find one with any real power. The keys to amplifying the flickers of power they still bear are waves of a particular amplitude. The relics can only be activated by phonic gain created by the power of song, pulse with energy, generating the anti-noise armor, The FG-Type Revolutionary Specialized Armor known as Symphogear.

As Section Two is under the command of Fudo Kazanari, a group of Section Two staff walked into the lab to inspect how the project was processing. Genjuro Kazanari and his 5-year-old niece, Tsubasa Kazanari accompanied with Teenage Shinji Ogawa.

Genjuro: So, What is the status of the Relic now?

Ryoko: At present, a prototype is nearly complete. In its current state, the armor can function as a defense mechanism by releasing shockwaves that eliminate Noise, but it does not have the offensive capabilities we require yet. A few more months of testing will be necessary to determine whether the project can be considered a success.

Genjuro: What about the issue with the phonic gain?

Ryoko: That is the biggest challenge remaining. The armor still requires a source of energy, and our attempts to make it self-sufficient have so far been unsuccessful.

Genjuro: And how do you intend to rectify this situation?

Ryoko: Unfortunately, none of our experiments have produced favorable results. Phonic gain is still essential to activate the armor.

Genjuro: Is there no other solution...?

Ryoko: There may be one way... We must obtain the phonic gain through...song.
