Furthermore, about 45 seconds of the theme song “ANIMA” by ReoNa have been released for the first time, which give the work a great sense of excitement along with the powerful images shown.
As in the 1st cour, Aoi Eir will be the artist in charge of the ED song, titled “I will…”. Her comment has also been received, where she talked about her joy to still be part of this work and her thoughts for the new song.

Aoi Eir
I'm Aoi Eir, the artist in charge of the ED song of “Sword Art Online: Alicization -War of Underworld-“.
I had the pleasure of singing “Iris” in the 1st cour, so I'm very grateful to be able to sing the ending theme once again.
The new song titled “I will…” is a ballad with a spectacular development, which is based on the theme of walking together while getting close to the hearts of the people you care about.
I hope that “I will…” will be able to reach fans' hearts through SAO.
