BLUE ENCOUNT’s new song “BLADE” has been selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Shin Samurai Den YAIBA”!

BLUE ENCOUNT’s new song “BLADE” has been decided to be the opening theme for “Shin Samurai Den YAIBA”, which will be made into a TV anime about 30 years after the completion of Aoyama Gosho’s work “YAIBA”!

The new song “BLADE” is a rock number with a very fast feel that expresses the anime’s worldview in a way that is in a way that is like BLUE ENCOUNT. Some of the song can be viewed in the main PV of the anime that was released this time. The anime will air from 5:30pm on April 5th on Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV nationwide. I hope you will look forward to it along with the song.

　
■Tanabe Shunichi (Vo/Gt) Comments
I was shaking. I hope the day will come when I will be able to write the theme song for a great masterpiece…
A trendy sound? The cutting edge genre?
No. We want to deliver the music we believe in, “BLUE ENCOUNT” straight to you.
The moment I felt that way, I remember the chorus for this song was created, as if the thick clouds were clearing.

A sharp blade-like belief will surely cut off the darkness.
This song has the passion that you would only want to hear in this era.
Please take our “serious” status.
