SixTONES Jesse Thank you for choosing the SixTONES's song as an OP for such a popular anime. The new song "NEW ERA" is rock-style just as typical songs of us, but we faced a lot of new challenges at the same time. I believe that this song fits to the "Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon", which has already gained much popularity before the broadcast begins. I hope that it will be a good chance to know more about SixTONES, for the anime fans, and others, who didn't know us until today. (C)Takahashi Rumiko / Shogakukan, Yomiuri TV, Sunrise 2020

Information on the ED theme of the third season of the TV anime "Osomatsu-san", which will start airing on October 12, has been announced. "Shuta Sueyoshi with Totoko&#9825;Nya & the six Matsuno family brothers will sing "Max Charm Faces - She's the best&#9825;&#9825;!!!! ~". The song "Max Charm Faces - she's the best&#9825;&#9825;!!!!! ～" that has been chosen for the ED theme, the main vocalist is Sueyoshi Shuta, and the two heroines, Totoko (voice: Endo Aya) and Nya Hashimoto (voice: Yamashita Nanami), cheerfully and sometimes violently talk to each other to Shuta's beautiful prince like voice prince. In addition, the Matsuno family's six children (voiced by Sakurai Takahiro, Nakamura Yuichi, Kamiya Hiroshi, Fukuyama Jun, Ono Daisuke, and Irino Miyu) also join in to help out. The lyrics and music are composed by TECHNOBOYS PULCRAFT GREEN-FUND, who also did the ED theme in the first season. We have received comments from the main vocalist, Shuta and Aya Endo, who does the voice of Totoko, and Yamashita Nanami, who does the voice of Hashimoto Nya. The third season of TV anime "Osomatsu-san" will be broadcast on TV Tokyo, TV Osaka and TV Aichi. ＜(Full text of comments below.) Sueyoshi Shuta's Comment Congratulations on the third season! I'm very happy to be involved in this song as a vocalist, and I'm very happy to be able to be a part of such a wonderful and unique work. It's a very difficult song, so I had a hard time getting into the song. LOL! Personally, I was very happy to be able to work with the wonderful voice actors, and I enjoyed doing the REC. I hope you enjoyed the ending song as well as the main and opening songs of the anime! Aya Endo, who plays Toto-Ko, commented I heard that "Totoko and Nya are going to sing the ending theme of the third season," so I wonder if it's going to be like "Cat, Disco and Fish" from "Eiga no Osomatsu-san" that they sang together before. I thought it would be a good idea, but it was a lot of fun with Shuta Sueyoshi's vocals and Totoko, Nyah, and the six kids helping each other out, so I thought, "Wow, that's not what I thought!" was the fresh impression I received. Well, the six kids are doing the same thing they've been doing all along! LOL Comment from Yamashita Nanami, who plays Hashimoto-nya "Nya is going to sing too?!" I was surprised. I sang with Totoko and Nya in "Eiga no Osomatsu-san", but I'm really looking forward to seeing them perform in a more spectacular fashion this time. When I was a student, I saw AAA perform and thought, "Singing and dancing is amazing! I was surprised by the members of the group because it was the first time I thought that I would be able to do this, which led to my current activities. I feel exactly the same way as Nya sings, "You only get this chance once in your life", and I'm so happy to be able to work with Sueyoshi-san, Endo Aya who plays Totoko, and the rest of the cast of the Matsuno family's six children.
