Spring Anime & Live Action "Gal and the Dinosaur"; ED Theme by Yoko Takahashi's twin sister, Ryuko Takahashi! Yoko Takahashi herself appears in the first episode.

It was announced that Yoko Takahashi's twin sister, Ryuko Takahashi, is in charge of the ED theme for the anime & live-action "Gal to Dinosaur," which began airing on April 4, 2020.

Gal and the Dinosaur" is a manga work serialized by Moriko Mori and Tomimura Kota in "Young Magazine" (Kodansha) since October 15, 2018. The story is about a gal and a dinosaur sharing a room across time.

⇒ A gal and a dinosaur share a room! Main cast and staff of "Gal and the Dinosaur," which will become an anime in April 2020, have been determined.

The first half of the first episode, which was aired on April 4, showed a soothing storyline created by the golden tag team of Space Neko Company and Kamikaze Animation, the animation production company, but the live-action part in the second half brought together an unexpected cast. Mieharu herself appeared as Mieharu, who drunkenly let a dinosaur into her house, and Yoko Takahashi, a singer well known for her signature song "Cruel Angel's Thesis," appeared as the landlord of the apartment where Mieharu lives. Toward the end of the program, Shota Aoi, a time traveler who made a big splash in the TV anime "POPTEPIC," appeared, transcending not only time and space but also his own work, creating a happy confusion among the audience.

The ED theme "Peaceful Days" was sung by Ryuko Takahashi, the twin sister of Yoko Takahashi, who appeared in the live-action part. This is her first media exposure. For a profile overview, please refer to the following.
