■A streaming pre-order campaign has also started, where you can win an original novelty item, a “Haruharu! Fan,” by lottery!

Ikimonogakari will be releasing the single “Hareha!” from their single “Hareha!/Ao no Naka de,” which will be released on July 17th, on July 6th.

“Hareha!” is a song written specifically for the opening theme of the TV anime “Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin,” with lyrics and composition by Yoshiki Mizuno and arrangement by Ryo Eguchi. With the powerful and impressive lyrics of “survive,” it is a refreshing number that is full of Ikimonogakari-ness.

“Asakusa Sakunahime,” which will be broadcast on TV Tokyo and other networks every Saturday from 11:00 p.m. starting July 6th, is an animated adaptation of a Japanese-style action RPG game that has shipped 1.5 million copies worldwide.

The PV was released on YouTube in May and has received many comments from fans of the original work and anime, building up anticipation. The opening theme, “Hare Hare!”, will be released on July 6th, the day the series first airs.

A teaser video for “HareHare!” was released on Ikimonogakari’s official YouTube channel to coincide with the announcement of the early release.

In addition, to commemorate the release, a download pre-order campaign has been launched where you can win an original novelty item, a “Haruharu! Fan,” by lottery.

Among those who pre-order “HareHare!/Ao no Naka de” on Apple Music/Spotify/Amazon Music, or pre-save it on iTunes (scheduled to start on June 26th), 300 people will be chosen by lottery to receive a novelty item, and all applicants will receive a wallpaper image. The distribution reservation campaign will run until 23:59 on July 16th.
