The visual features the double life that Saki Kotaka is living. In one half of the visual, she is playing an intense game of soccer, and in the other half, she is lost in her own world.
The way she is so much into the game and the song suggests that Saki gets lost while doing something she loves and gives her 101% into it.
The visual also shows Kotaka listening to a song by Hiyori Hayama, the other protagonist of the show.
The franchise has only released two visuals till now about two main characters of the show, one being Kotaka and the other one being Hayama.

This visual of Hiyori shows her living her own two lives, one of a student and a basketball player and the other one of a pretty and popular idol.
She is shown playing a fierce game of basketball while her opponents look at her in shock.
According to anime logic, these types of characters are perfect in everything they do, and everyone loves them. But behind the doors, no one understands them at all.
The plot and other details about the anime have not been made public yet, leaving us a lot of room for speculation. The two visuals strongly suggest that Saki is a huge fan of Hiyori though she isn’t aware of her real identity yet.
They are most probably of rival schools, and the characters might have a chance encounter during one of the matches involving both of their schools.
Or, they both belong to the same school, but different clubs since Saki plays soccer and Hiyori plays basketball.
Whatever it may be, it’s most likely that these two will become the best of friends, with Saki being the only one who knows about Hiyori’s secret identity and life.

Women’s sport is an underrated genre with untapped potential, and I am sure that once paid attention to, it can become a beacon of hope for women worldwide.
The original screenplay will be done by Masaki Tsuzuki, who has created some fantastic anime like Dog Days and Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.
Kazuki Yikawa, who has worked on projects like Mitou Shoukan://Blood Sign, will do the character draft and illustration.
I am pretty excited to see these characters and the double life sportswomen live, one of being a player and the other one being their personal lives. This anime seems like it will give us a pretty realistic idea about that subject.
