Artist Comments

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN

I am Tabuchi, the bass player of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, and I will be in charge of the OP theme for "Bloodline & Beyond". Since I played the ED theme last time, I felt that I had a different role to play, so I re-imagined this work. I wanted to capture the atmosphere of the town that was played in the last episode of the previous series, and created music that I wanted to be heard in that town. It's a town that can't be helped, so let's live helplessly."

■DAOKO
The previous series was great, wasn't it? As a fan, I can't wait to see how the story will develop and what kind of world you will show us. The song that you collaborated with Yasuyuki Okamura is also a perfect "Buttobi" song for "Bloodline". I'm sure you'll fall in love with it when you hear it! I'm sure! I am so excited and thrilled to be a part of this project. I am so happy to be involved in my favorite work. Let's all sit on our hands and wait for it.

Yasuyuki Okamura
I am very proud of this work."
