ALI and MaRI’s first collaboration! The ending theme for the second season of the TV anime “The Fable” “BEYOND feat. MaRI” is now available digitally!

In the first season, ALI featured Hannya as the featured artist and was in charge of the opening theme “Professionalism feat. Hannya”. In the second season, the ending theme “BEYOND feat. MaRI” features MaRI, a female rapper from Gifu with roots in Brazil. The song is impressive with its raga jungle sound, LEO’s emotional vocals, and MaRI’s powerful flow.

The song will be released as a split single “Switch / BEYOND feat. MaRI” by Umeda Cipher and ALI, who will perform the theme song for the second season of the TV anime “The Fable”, on July 31st (Wednesday). The 12-inch record-sized paper jacket features a newly drawn jacket by the original author Minami Katsuhisa, and comes with a triple collaboration T-shirt with the same illustration printed on it that can only be purchased here.

Hannya / Odd Numbers,” which both includes the theme songs for the first season of the TV anime “The Fable,” Hannya has been scheduled to appear as a special guest at the “ALI vs Umeda Cipher Special Live” to be held on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
