Comment from Tomoya Tabuchi of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN
I am Tabuchi of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, and I am going to sing the OP theme song.
When I heard that this work was going to be made into an anime, I wanted the OP to be "just barely fast enough to be expressed in live action". The word "just barely" was important, so I created it while experimenting with the BPM in detail. The story begins with a light, exhilarating, and overly pop music. We send this song in place of our greatest praise so that the characters in the work can dance around freely. Please give us your hand!
