Sing a Bit of Harmony (Japanese title: Ai no Utagoe o Kikasete, "Let Me Hear You Sing of Love") is a 2021 anime school musical film, animated by J.C. Staff and directed by Yasuhiro Yoshiura (Time of Eve, Patema Inverted).The film follows Satomi Amano, a lonely young girl who lives alone with her mother Mitsuko, a top A.I. researcher for the Hoshima corporation. While checking her mother’s upcoming schedule for the week, she learns that Mitsuko is working on some sort of secret project, which turns out to be Shion Ashimori, a bubbly and eccentric new transfer student to her class who is strangely obsessed with making Satomi happy. Shion is in fact an A.I. implanted to an android body, with her overall goal being to successfully pass as human for an entire week of school. Between trying to help keep Shion’s secret and the A.I.’s numerous wacky attempts to make her happy despite admitting to not understanding what happiness actually is, Satomi is in for a week she’ll never forget.The film is Funimation's first co-produced anime film who released it in theaters subbed and dubbed in January 2022. | |

Always Someone Better | |
| Sing a Bit of Harmony / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: Gocchan has a complex over being constantly beat out by others in sports or academics and sees himself as only ever being second best at anything that he struggles to have any real dreams or desires of his own and is jealous of those that do, like Touma. | |

| Sing a Bit of Harmony / int_22a27b19 | comment |
Alpha Bitch: Aya is introduced as such, given her tendency to regularly end all of her statements with pretty mean spirited remarks. Ultimately subverted in that while she does have issues and comes close to blowing the whistle early on regarding Shion in a fit of rage due to a major misunderstanding, she winds up becoming a loyal, supportive friend who will go to great lengths to help those who have helped her. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Sing a Bit of Harmony / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: A sign in the computing room where Touma and his club friends hang out reads "No smoking allowed". This is because of a prior incident in which some older students had been using the room to smoke and were told on to the teachers by Satomi resulting in some drama since they were popular members of the school's soccer team. Satomi partially doing this because she's her class representative, and wanting to help Touma out even at the expense of her gaining the nickname "Princess Tattletale". Touma's Hard Disk Drive (HDD) that is frequently mistaken for the rubbish bin that it stands next to. Which also happens to be where Shion backed up her memories when she was connected to it and the bin mix-up is what saves it from being taken away by Hoshima when Shion is apprehended. A new satellite is mentioned as being recently sent into Earth's orbit at the start of the film. Guess where Shion's mind goes after the group helps her escape and upload her into the net. | |

Parental Abandonment: While Satomi and Touma are going through Shion’s backed up memories, one of said memories shows Satomi’s father leaving her and Mitsuko at the train station. | |

Amazon Chaser: Thunder becomes smitten with Shion after she helps him get better at judo, the A.I. wiping the floor with him the entire time they practice. He even asks her out during the escape mission at Hoshima to which she accepts, thinking he was simply asking for the 2 of them to "go outside". | |

| Sing a Bit of Harmony / int_39b88fac | comment |
Overdramatic Dating Commotion: Downplayed but when some female students saw Shion and Gocchan kissing (their lips didn't actually meet), they started squeeing and running to spread the news which consequently blows up and everyone talks about the two until Aya, who has a crush on him, knows and gets upset, pushing her to confess to Gocchan at some point. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Sing a Bit of Harmony / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Some of the folks at Hoshima have these concerns regarding Shion. Ultimately subverted, Shion remains a Benevolent A.I. and all the other A.I.s at Hoshima only go haywire to help her, Satomi and Touma evade capture. | |

Save the Princess: Shion tries to invoke this trope by having an A.I seemingly attack Satomi so a prince would come and save her. She unsurprisingly fails. | |

Achievements in Ignorance: Touma originally just tried to add a verbal communication function to a simple A.I. toy Satomi got from her mom as a present when they were little. His tampering with the code wound up being the catalyst for Shion’s creation. | |

The Reveal | |
| Sing a Bit of Harmony / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Shion's determination to make Satomi happy stems from her originally being a simple A.I. toy modified by a young Touma to speak with the simple order of making Satomi happy. When she was taken by Mitsuko to be studied at the Hoshima labs, she narrowly avoids being deleted by one of Mitsuko's co-workers by escaping into the net and had been watching over Satomi's life the whole time through cameras, trying to reach out to her until she caught wind of the A.I. test at the high school and immediately took control of the robot body. | |

Show Within a Show: Moon Princess. The film is Satomi's favorite since she was a kid and she's rewatched it many times, over a thousand, according to Shion. In fact, her love of the film and its main song are what Shion latches onto in her mission to make Satomi happy, including recreating the film's climactic song and fireworks scene in the real world. | |
