Legendary Japanese band GLAY released its new song "Kaishin no ichigeki," serving as the main theme to the ongoing TV anime "Grendizer U."
The jacket artwork for the release has also been revealed.
The beloved series "UFO Robot Grendizer," originally created by the authoer Go Nagai, has been revived in 2024 as a new TV anime series titled "Grendizer U."
This new adaptation boasts a stellar team behind the scenes, including Mitsuo Fukuda ("Mobile Suit Gundam SEED") as chief director, Ichiro Okouchi ("CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion") as series composer, and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto ("Neon Genesis Evangelion") as character designer.
The jacket artwork, created by the “Grendizer U” animation team, beautifully captures the essence of the song.
Comment from HISASHI (GLAY
)We are truly grateful for the opportunity to have our song featured as the theme to “Grendizer U.” The song "Kaishin no ichigeki" was born from the inspiration we felt during the online meetings before the production.
Chief Director Fukuda's bold words, “Musicians should perform as they like” and “I will leave the music to you” liberated my creativity, resulting in GLAY's latest, unrestrained masterpiece.
Collaborating with such a distinguished team of creators is a big milestone in our history. I have been profoundly influenced by Japanese entertainment, which is why I am here today. Let's spark an even greater reaction from here in Japan ― this is a critical hit (“Kaishin no ichigeki”) from us!
