The title of the opening theme is “Zen”. It is scheduled to be released in January as the first distribution single of 2025. It is an impressive song with lyrics that feel like a story that is close to the world view of the anime and a melodious and fast-paced hard rock sound. SAIKI (Vo), who wrote the lyrics, also commented on the passion he put into the work. has arrived.

　
BAND-MAID has many songs that have a fast-paced feel, but for this work “Zen”, we wanted to make a song that felt more like a story, based on the concept of “drawing”. I put a lot of emphasis on it and create sounds with a solid stance. I’m really looking forward to seeing how this song will be depicted in the hearts of everyone who listens to it. Let’s take our time and enjoy it together.
–SAIKI (Vo)

　
Additionally, along with the announcement of the theme song, a PV for the anime that uses “Zen” was released at the same time, and part of the opening theme “Zen” was released for the first time, so please check it out as well.
