Hymn Princess of Antiphona: Angel's Score Op. A.
I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet, seeing how we have so many Rhapsody / Marl Kingdom fans.  Either way, there's a new PSP coming out based around the Marl Kingdom system almost- it's very influenced by it from what I can tell.
Nippon Ichi Software is working on a new strategy RPG for PlayStation Portable. Titled Antiphona no Seikahime: Tenshi no Gakufu Op.A, the game will be reminiscent of Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (and other games in the Marl's Kingdom series), as these games will share the "music" theme. In the world of Antiphona, music can be transformed into magic. The game's protagonist, a young girl by the name of Miabel, has to find a way to bring back the voice of her sister, which was stolen by the Demon King. The musical theme, however, won't be limited to the story, but also feature heavily in the gameplay. Event scenes, for instance, will feature dancing and singing not unlike a musical performance. Be it standard conversations or important event scenes, Antiphona will offer full voice acting. The game is scored by NIS' veteran composer Tenpei Sato.
From RPGfan.
Here are some scans about it :

Looks really neat. :> I love the classic sort of RPG feel it has going on.

Who's doing the characters design? Not Takehito Harada, I presume?

It's the same guy who did the character design for Rhapsody DS remake, I think. Don't know his/her name, though.

Official site is up! (see above)
I'm kind of disappointed this is on a handheld and that NIS has parted ways with Ryoji. Aside from that, I enjoyed Rhapsody for its light humor while handling heavy topics about loss and grief. I'm hoping for more of the same in Antiphona.

There are lots of screenshots on siliconera.com, a video gaming blog. http://www.siliconera.com/2009/07/17/princess-antiphona-screens-give-a-glimpse-of-the-battle-system/
I think the graphics look similar to Little Princess. http://www.rpgfan.com/pics/little-princess/index.html

Re: Hymn Princess of Antiphona: Angel's Score Op. A.
From what I could gather, seems like an overlord is interested in Lily's voice.

Re: Hymn Princess of Antiphona: Angel's Score Op. A.
Roughly translated, these are some of the things I've put together about Hymn Princess of Antiphona:
Hymn Princess of Antiphona incorporates musical events in it's story scenes. Much like Rhapsody, it's based on a mix of light-hearted scenes with hidden meanings to them. What are the themes in this game? We may find that out once the game is officially released, but for now let us break down information about the game that has been brought to light.
Story
The story of Hymn Princess of Antiphona revolves around three sisters who love music very much. The main character of this story is Miabelle, the youngest sister of the three. These three girls love music very much, and it seems like Lily, Miabelle's eldest sister, is set to become a song priestess due to her heavenly voice. The story of this game involves an overlord's fascination with Lily's voice.
The kingdom they live in is called something like the Echoing Country of Antiphona, アンティフォナ響国, Antiphona hibiki kuni. It seems that every resident in this world has their heart, their energy, their very soul spun into music. It is their way of life. Songs and music are used as a form of electricity, a powerful source of energy to be harvested and used. According to Dengeki, Lily is set to be the Song Angel of their world.
Much like Rhapsody, this world uses puppets or marionettes to aid people on their quests.
Characters
Miabelle Drofa
- Youngest daughter of the trio, she always has a look of determination and longing on her face. She seeks many dreams and she loves music very much. She loves her family more than anything.
Kulala Drofa (Unsure on how the first name will be translated..)
- Middle child of the trio, she gets along very well with her sister Miabelle. She does things at her own pace and seems to be rather laidback. On her head is her puppet, Lenton. He seems to hold an eccentric sort of energy.
Clef
- Miabelle's guide and mentor, he seems to be a sort of ... puppet himself?! Most puppets are not as well built as he is, but he is still in essence only a man-made doll. His speech can be awkward at times, and he was created by a world famous doll maker. His model is exceptionally rare.
Freshia and Animatt(?)
- Freshia is Kulala's classmate and friend, she's the straight man of the group. Her emotions are upfront and she can be a loud one, but she's always true to her words. She's blessed in the art of composing, apparently? Her puppet is the vigorous and energetic Animatt who's a boy model puppet.
Ignatz
- Lily's classmate from their days at school. He seems to have some sort of famed house but I can't tell whether he's trying to run away from it or be holed up inside of it? 家出中
Overlord Auros
- Stole Lily's beautiful voice?! He seems to devastate churches and produce large outbreaks of monsters in their land. He doesn't seem like a very nice guy.
Lily Drofa
- Her voice was stolen by Overlord Auros at the big song festival of their kingdom. Her voice is heavenly, but it seems her sisters will have to help her get it back at this point.
