Summer anime "Ushio-Tora" to broadcast a special program featuring the main cast on the day of broadcast start!　ED song will be "HERO" by Sonar Pocket.

The TV anime "Ushio-Tora," which will start in July, has announced the decision to distribute a special program.

Ushio-Tora" is an anime work based on the famous manga by Kazuhiro Fujita, which was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Sunday from 1990 to 1996. This is the first TV anime adaptation of the battle story about a boy, Sougetsu Ushio, and a former great demon, Tora, who challenges to exterminate Yokai. Directed by Satoshi Nishimura of "TRIGUN" and "The First Step" fame, series composition by Toshiki Inoue of "DEATH NOTE" and "Devil May Cry" fame, and character design by Tomoko Mori of "GARO" (guest character design). Animation production will be handled by MAPPA studio VOLN.

A special program will be broadcast on July 3, the day of the start of the broadcast. The special program will be broadcast on Nico Nico Live from 22:00 to 23:00 as a Nico Nico Live emergency special program right before the start of the broadcast. The program will feature appearances by Yu Hatanaka (Sougetsu Ushio), Rikiya Koyama (Tora), Mikako Komatsu (Asako Nakamura), and Kiyono Anno (Mayuko Inoue), who will introduce the work, as well as a free distribution of the first episode. In addition, the first episode will be distributed free of charge on the day of the event.

In addition, the ending theme song will be "HERO" by Sonar Pocket. I was a big fan of the original "Ushio-Tora," so I remember how excited I was when I heard about it. I re-read the original story and wrote the song so that it would not lose to the passion, passion, and fast-paced atmosphere that Ushio and Tora emit.
I hope this song will be a source of energy for everyone who listens to it, just like the "sun"! The CD will be released on August 19.
