The opening theme “LUCID DREAM” for the anime “Confinement Area Level X” has been released!
Imagine Infos Inc. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Maeda Kiyoshi; hereinafter referred to as Imagine Infos) has announced the artist and title of the opening theme for “Confinement Zone Level X” (story by Oishi Romy, art by Egashira Taiki, Searchfield Inc., webtoon production by taskey STUDIO), which is scheduled to air on CBC TV from Friday, September 6th as the third installment of its “AnimationID” joint venture with Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kitajima Yoshitaka; hereinafter referred to as DNP).
The song is written by SG, a Japanese-Korean mixed singer-songwriter who is one of the most dynamic artists today!
The title of the song is “LUCID DREAM”, and it will be SG’s first anime theme song. The theme of lucid dreaming is a rock-style song that can effectively express the uncertain thriller feeling of the original work. Even in a cruel world where you wish it was a dream, if you are with a being who gives you hope, it depicts the pure feeling of wanting to see the continuation of the dream. In the chorus, a dummy voice is used, and the harmony with SG’s powerful falsetto perfectly expresses the emotions of the main character, Suzuka, and is filled with love and respect for the original manga and characters, making it a perfect finish for the worldview of the anime. The lyric MV using the opening video of the anime will be released on the same day, September 7th (Sat), at 2:30 a.m. Please take a look.

[Synopsis]
When Suzuka wakes up from her nap, she finds a message from her mother saying, “Don’t ever leave the apartment.”
Without realizing it, the apartment building had apparently become a “confined area” where no one was allowed to enter.
The protagonist, a high school girl named Suzuka, must confront a mysterious unidentified life form called “X” (Cy) in order to escape from a sealed-off apartment building.
Will Suzuka be able to find a way out of this loop of despair and return safely to her family…?
