It has been decided that TOMOO’s new song “Contrast” will serve as the ending theme for the second season of the TV anime “Ao no Hako”, which will be broadcast from January 2, 2025.
“Ao no Hako” is a very popular work with a cumulative circulation of over 6.5 million copies. The long-awaited TV anime adaptation of the love story about youth club activities, which delicately depicts the subtleties of the heart and touches the heart, has been made into a TV anime.
When creating the ending theme, “Contrast,” TOMOO said, “The characters have mutual respect for each other, and I felt that the moments when each of them supported each other were very precious, so I cherished those parts as well.” I wrote this while wishing that it would be better.”
“Contrast” is scheduled to be released on January 8, 2025. We have also decided to hold a pre-add campaign where those who pre-add on Apple Music and pre-save on Spotify will win an original standby live photo. The period ends at 23:59 on January 7, 2025, so don’t miss out on this opportunity. Furthermore, the main PV where you can listen to part of the song has also been released, so be sure to check it out.
TOMOO will hold their first Budokan one-man live “TOMOO Live at Nippon Budokan” on May 23, 2025. This will be the first time that TOMOO will hold a solo performance at Nippon Budokan. For details on how to purchase tickets and the venue, please check TOMOO’s official website and SNS.
Additionally, the recently sold-out “TOMOO one-man live “Anchor” at PACIFICO YOKOHAMA” performance will be exclusively streamed live on U-NEXT from 6pm on December 28th. It has been decided.
After this live broadcast ends, you will be able to watch the missed broadcast until 23:59 on January 13, 2025, so please check it out.
TOMOO comment
I was able to create this song by being touched by the wonderful people of “Ao no Hako” and their fresh heart movements, and sometimes remembering how I felt when I was around the same age.
For example, when it comes to love scenes, I don’t just feel excited or sad, but I think the moments where the characters respect each other and support each other are very precious. I wrote this with the hope that I could cherish the parts as well.
