J-pop artist/voice talent Marika Kohno has unveiled their new single "LOVE&MOON."
The song is the ending theme to the forthcoming anime series Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta Beast Tamer, Saikyoushu no Nekomimi Shoujo to Deau (a.k.a. Beast Tamer), which is listed as one of our most anticipated anime series releasing this fall. Kohno will also voice the character Nina in the series, which will begin airing on October 2 outside of Asia via Crunchyroll. The track comes with a music video, which can be seen below.
When it comes to the song, Kohno said:
"Actually, it was a candidate song for the first album "One". As for the theme of the song, I had ordered a song that I would sing in life-size with my honest self, but on the album I was supposed to have only one song with the same theme, so I couldn't sing it on the album, but I wanted to sing it at a different time, so I set it aside. This is also the coupling song "Violet"."
When it comes to contributing music to anime, the artist also said:
"Ever since I was a child, I've been the type of person who would come up with the OP and ED themes of anime, so I have an image that theme songs are indispensable for anime. So I thought it would be an honor to be involved in that. This time it's an ED theme, but it's like an anime until the end of ED. Now that the ED is over, let's do the next thing! I have the impression that it makes you feel that way."
"LOVE&MOON" will be released on October 12 via Nippon Columbia.
