La Corda d'Oro
Japanese media franchise
La Corda d'Oro (Japanese: 金色のコルダ, Hepburn: Kin'iro no Koruda; Italian for The Golden String) is a Japanese role-playing game series targeted at a female demographic audience from Koei. It was adapted into a manga by the game's character designer, Yuki Kure, which is serialized in LaLa magazine.
An anime adaptation, titled La Corda d'Oro: Primo Passo, premiered on TV Tokyo from October 2006 to March 2007. The anime also premiered on Animax. It also aired across its respective networks worldwide, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, and also translated and dubbed into English for its English-language networks in Southeast Asia and South Asia, and other regions. Sentai Filmworks acquired North American rights to the series, has released it in two half-season box sets, and is streaming it online. The first of a two-episode anime special, entitled La Corda d'Oro: Secondo Passo, aired by Kids Station on March 26, 2009, but the season ends on a cliffhanger. Secondo Passo was meant strictly to promote the video game.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “La Corda d'Oro” as japanese media franchise. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as japanese media franchise. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1314543. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2007 and 2009.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
