＜Comment from Takehito Koyasu as Fei-Yan

Please watch his pure and clumsy way of life until the end.

＜ Comment from Setsuji Sato as Yasaka
I am very honored to be involved in the popular work "Souten no Ken"!
In order to play the role of the strong man portrayed by Mr. Hara, I try to do push-ups before recording to build up lactic acid before standing in front of the microphone.
I will do my best to have a body like Yasaka's by the end of this production!
Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Theme song information
OP Theme ： AK-69 "Souten no Hate ni
Lyrics: AK-69, music: RYUJA, AK-69(UNIVERSAL MUSIC LLC / Def Jam Recordings)


＜Comment from AK-69
I was very happy when I heard about this project, as I am a complete "Fist of the North Star" generation. I always think that my attitude is "Even if I die, I will never perish," and there are many overlaps with the story and worldview of "Fist of the North Star," and although it is a newly written song, I believe I was able to sing it with very realistic words.

ED theme: "Prayer Starry Sky" by Sumire Uesaka
Lyrics, music and arrangement by AJURIKA (King Record)


＜Comment from Uesaka Sumire
I was very surprised when I heard that I would be singing the theme.
I will do my best to accompany the magnificent and passionate world of the work!
