I think it's kind of weird they aren't showing the character image still, because I think revealing it for people auditioning would help them voice the character better + one of the requirements are you are okay with cosplaying and what if her outfit is something you aren't comfortable wearing? (They are planning on having a cosplay event with the voice actor)
It says they might be open to having gaijin participate, but they have to be able to go to Tokyo. (Though it might end up being virtual due to corona.) You also may have to sign a contract. Minors need parent permission.
April 17~25 = recruiting (sheesh, what a tiny time frame, you have to provide your video during this time period)
April 28 = Announce next selection
May 1~8 = Final selection
Schedule may change.
Have to fill out the form and read a script for a video + sing 1 chorus of your favorite song + make your own PR video.
There will be an official YouTube channel soon.
The script you have to read is under the 課題<台本> section and it's got weird CUL lore.
Me translating it while reading so the English won't be entirely natural and no I won't go back and fix it:
On a small hill, I climbed a flight of stone stairs to an old, small church. My sisters and I lived there for a long time. One day,
"Beautiful red hair... who? ...Big sister.... Huh!? My sister...? No, it's not possible! I have always been here alone! Why now... Huh? For that reason, for my sake! It took that much of a long time...? Pu-ahahaha! Of course, it really is my big sister!
Welcome home! Big sister"
