Dive into the World of `SPY×FAMILY`

`SPY×FAMILY` is a captivating spy action-comedy based on the manga by `Endo Tatsuya`, which has been serialized since March 2019 on Shueisha’s manga magazine app, `Shonen Jump+`. Boasting an incredible record of over 600 million total PVs, this critically acclaimed series has garnered numerous manga awards, with its latest 15 volumes achieving a cumulative circulation exceeding 38 million copies.

The story unfolds in an intriguing era where various nations are locked in a fierce, clandestine information war, with `Ostania` (the East) and `Westalis` (the West) embroiled in a cold war spanning over a decade. It follows the exceptionally skilled spy known as `Twilight`, who, under the guise of psychiatrist `Loid Forger`, forms an unconventional family for a top-secret mission. Unbeknownst to him, his adopted daughter `Anya` is a powerful esper who can read minds, and his wife `Yor` is a formidable assassin. Later, they lovingly welcome `Bond`, a guard dog with the uncanny ability to see into the future, into their quirky family. The series masterfully portrays their efforts to maintain world peace while each member cleverly conceals their true identities from one another, leading to heartwarming and hilarious moments.

A Phenomenal Run Continues: Anime and Movie Success

The TV anime series began its successful run with Season 1, which aired over two cours in 2022, captivating a wide audience. This was followed by Season 2, which premiered in October 2023 and concluded to immense acclaim, solidifying the series’ place in the hearts of fans. Furthermore, `Gekijouban SPY×FAMILY CODE: White`, the much-anticipated theatrical film, premiered in 383 cinemas nationwide on December 22 of the same year. The movie enjoyed a phenomenal start, swiftly surpassing 1.2 billion yen in box office revenue within its first three days. As of August 25, 2025, the film has achieved a massive hit, grossing an impressive 6.32 billion yen, further cementing the franchise’s widespread popularity.

`Spitz` Steps into the Forger Family’s World for the First Time

This exciting new information was officially revealed during the stage greeting segment of the Season 3 advance screening event, held at seven theaters, including Lawson United Cinemas STYLE-S Minato Mirai. The `SPY×FAMILY` anime franchise has been graced with opening theme songs by notable artists such as `Official Hige Dandism`, `BUMP OF CHICKEN`, and `Ado` in previous seasons. Now, it has been announced that Season 3 will feature “Tomori o Mamoru” by the beloved four-member rock band `Spitz`. This marks a significant and historic first for `Spitz`, as it is their inaugural time composing an original song specifically for a TV anime. `Kusano Masamune`, who handles Vocals & Guitars for the band, also provided a heartfelt comment regarding their new contribution.

Adding to the excitement, a non-credit opening video featuring “Tomori o Mamoru” has been released ahead of the broadcast, allowing fans to experience the new theme song with stunning animation. The storyboard and direction for this captivating opening were handled by `Natsume Shingo`, an acclaimed animator and director. He made his notable TV series directorial debut in 2014 with `Space☆Dandy` and later created the highly praised original TV anime `Sonny Boy` in 2021, where he personally took on the multifaceted roles of director, scriptwriter, and episode director. Looking ahead, his first original theatrical anime film, tentatively titled `ghost (kari)`, is slated for release in 2027, showcasing his continued dedication to innovative animation.

Comments from the Artists

`Spitz` `Kusano Masamune` (Vo/Gt)

**Please tell us about the feelings you poured into the song.**
While `SPY×FAMILY` is undeniably enjoyable for its cute and comical depictions, there’s always an underlying “sadness” flowing through the core of its story. I wanted to create a song that doesn’t shy away from that profound emotion. Moreover, I aimed for a song where the overall trajectory eventually leads towards hope, offering a sense of optimism despite the underlying melancholy. Some might find the combination of `Spitz` and `SPY×FAMILY` surprising, and it’s certainly a unique pairing! However, I truly hope that the song harmonizes well with the work and resonates with fans.
