■nonoc Comment

My name is nonoc, and I will be singing the opening theme song for "Astra in the Beyond.

I enjoyed reading the original work very much, attracted by the constantly changing super-developments, from gag elements to mysterious developments.
The song title "star*frost" was coined from the word "star frost," which means that the years and distances are so long that they travel through the stars, and that all encounters are connected through layers upon layers.
I am honored to be able to color the story of Kanata and his friends in this way.

Comment from NARIKO YASUKI

My name is NARIKO AZUKI, and I will be singing the ED theme "Grow at the Velocity of Light".
This song is about the light of hope that Kanata and his friends finally find as they go through a tough journey, which is expressed in words related to the universe.
The original manga was a thrill ride with its unique characters and unexpected twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat, and I finished it in no time at all!
Please enjoy the ED filled with the world view of Astra!
