Both stories take place during the 14th Machine War which is the focal point of the game NieR:Automata, but both take place in very different regions during vitally different points of the war.Īdditional information on YoRHa and the various stage plays can be found here. There have been a total of 6 separate YoRHa stage plays not including this new one, but there have been only 2 unique stories or plots: One dealing with the Pearl Harbor Descent Mission on December 8, 11941 and the other focusing on the M Squad (or as the soon-to-be-released official English novel calls it, the M Unit) in July 11942. The Different Plays and Their Separate Versions Because of this, I originally speculated that there could be a connection between YoRHa and NieR. The YoRHa single CD came with a booklet containing a detailed storyline which was written by Yoko Taro, creative director of NieR and the Drakengard series. Mysteriously, a version of the Normandy song appears embedded in the data on the Drakengard 3 game disc. The music for the YoRHa CD was composed by Okabe Keiichi (MONACA) with lyrics written by Kikuchi Hana.

This same trio of vocalists is accredited by the name “YoRHa” for the boss battle themes on the Drakengard 3 soundtrack. In 2014, they performed the “Second ACT” and also released a single CD of two songs: Normandy and Guadalcanal. The group continued to meet an additional 6 times throughout 20. They performed the “First ACT” in May 2012. So, with his connections with Okabe Keiichi at MONACA and Iwasaki Takuya at ILCA and DearStage, they selected three idol vocalists, Aino Eri, Ichikura Yuna, and Sakurai Tamaki, who were already performing in other groups produced by DearStage and created the group “YoRHa”. He had the idea to “do something new” by getting involved into the “idol” scene in Akihabara. “YoRHa” originally was the brain child of Yoko Taro with an association with MONACA and DearStage. This story later became the basis for the game NieR:Automata.Ĭollaboration between Yoko Taro, MONACA, and DearStage He collaborated with MONACA and DearStage among others to create a story that involves traditional Japanese idols who sing, dance, and later perform in the YoRHa stage play. The storyline of “YoRHa” was the product of Yoko Taro. During the NieR Presentation from TGS this past Friday, we've received word that another YoRHa stage play is in the works for later this year! For all those of you who might be fans of the Drakengard and NieR franchise, or maybe of the man Yoko Taro himself, you'd better buckle up for this one!
