◆Anime "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass 3" PV Vol. 2

In the PV, the artists in charge of the opening theme and ending theme of "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass 3" have been announced.

The opening theme will be performed by newcomer Who-ya Extended, who makes his debut with this work. The unit is a creative unit centered around the 20-year-old vocalist Ho-ya, but this is a big choice for a new artist who is still a bit of a mystery to us.

Co shu Nie (Co shu Nie) will be in charge of the ending theme of the anime "Tokyo Ghoul: re." In 2018, the original author Sui Ishida himself selected "asphyxia" as the OP theme for the anime "Tokyo Ghoul: re," and it made a strong debut, generating a great response from both domestic and international listeners. In January of this year, "asphyxia" was selected as the ED theme for "Yakusoku no Neverland" (The Neverland of Promises), and the band has been attracting attention. This is the second time the band has been selected for a "noitaminA" production.

Both the opening theme song "Q-vism" by Who-ya Extended and the ending theme song "bullet" by Co shu Nie can be heard in the second PV released today.

At the same time, information on single packages for both Who-ya Extended and Co shu Nie has also been released. Co shu Nie has also announced the details of their 2020 tour, of which only the dates have already been announced, and the advance tickets will be available on their official website starting next week on October 4 (Fri.).

Artist Comments]
■Who-ya Extended

I am very proud to be able to be involved in such a historic work as the theme song. I continue to feel a strange mixture of gratitude and a sense of responsibility. I sang this song with respect for the series that has been spun until now, and with anticipation for this new work that is about to begin. I hope that this song, which expresses my determination in a sense of loneliness and speed, will reach as many people as possible with this work.

Who-ya

Co shu Nie

Hello, we are Co shu Nie, a three-piece band that will be in charge of the ED theme for "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass 3.

I watched "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass" in real time and was a fan, so I am very honored to be able to write the ED theme.
First of all, I was so happy to be able to watch the new series of "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass" that I couldn't wait to see it, and all the members went to see all the movies together.

Even in the murky waters, the rudder is in our own hands.
We have hidden a distorted "bullet" that we can unleash at any time.

I would like to enjoy together what kind of "bullet" Shaku and Jiong will live in the world of "PSYCHO-PASS Psycho-Pass"!
