It was announced at the "Attack on Titan SPECIAL EVENT" held on Sunday, February 3, 2019, that Linked Horizon will be in charge of the opening theme and cinema staff will be in charge of the ending theme of this work.


At the event, video comments from Revo of Linked Horizon and members of cinema staff were also received, which will be introduced below.


Comments

Revo (Linked Horizon)
I was in charge of the ending theme for Part 1, but now I'm back for the opening theme. And Eren and his friends are finally coming back to the Shiganshina district. It has been a long period of time. During that time, many things have happened, many battles have been fought, and Eren and his team have carried many feelings on their shoulders. We, too, have many feelings. I would like to say that we put all of our feelings into this song, and based on the many things we have participated in singing, we created this opening theme song as a culmination of all of them. I hope you will enjoy it.

Cinema staff
In creating this song, we wrote sketches of about 10 new songs of various types based on the orientation given by Director Araki, and this song was the last one to emerge.
In a word, this song is about "kizuna" (bonds). It is a song about the birth of a bond and the destruction of a bond; it is a song about a shining era that will never return. It is a song about people who look forward to the future even though they are battered and bruised. I hope it will be a suitable ending theme for "Shinkage no Kyojin" Season 3 Part 2. Right now, I am still in a state of anxiety about whether we are fulfilling our responsibility, but more than that, I am not looking forward to the day when I get to see the work! See you in the works!
