UNISON SQUARE GARDEN Tabuchi Tomoya-san’s Comment
I first encountered Yamamori-sensei’s works through a friend, Tsuno Maisaki, and was so deeply moved by every single one that I secretly started writing songs on my own. It’s truly come full circle in an unexpected way.
I seriously pondered whether a rock band’s voice and sound would truly suit Yamamori-sensei’s incredibly beautiful world. When the offer came, I was quite troubled. However, through discussions with Yamamori-sensei, Director Maruyama, and the anime staff, what became clear was the “unmistakable edgy quality” that only a rock band possesses, combined with the “alluring charm” that vocalist Saitou Kousuke can bring, which truly has an affinity with this work.
Aiming for that, I carefully picked up the melodies and lyrics that emerged and completed the songs.
I hope that our music can cast a subtle light in a corner of the work and, at times, assist in enhancing the drama.
We are UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, and we are honored to be in charge of both the opening and ending theme songs.
Thank you for your support.
