The venue was abuzz with excitement at the announcement of the theme song, and all 23 members of Boku Ao shared their joy.
Member Yagi Hitoshi expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “I’m honored that BokuAo will be performing the theme song for the animated film version of the historic work ‘Ganbatte Ikimasshoi’! The characters in the story are the same generation as me, and the theme of ‘youth’ which is important to BokuAo overlaps with it, so I feel a certain affinity with it. We’d like to work together to make it a success!”
