Kadokawa describes the title as:

Scenery that we have never seen
Sounds that we have never heard
Scent that we have never smelled
Food that we have never tasted
And the surge of emotion that we have never experienced
This is the expedition of recollecting the pieces torn apart and sensation left alone
When we reach that place, what will we think?
Howling, 40 degrees angle
Raging, 50 degrees angle
Shouting, 60 degrees angle
A wilderness beyond the heavy sea
The furthest south, far from the civilization
At the top of the Earth
We will find lights through the girls’ eyes to live tomorrow

The confirmed voice cast includes:

Mari Tamaki: Inori Minase
Shirase Kobuchizawa: Kana Hanazawa
Hinata Miyake: Yuka Iguchi
Yuzuki Shiraishi: Saori Hayami

Visuals for each of of the characters were released, which you can check out below:
