It has been announced that the CD of the opening and ending double theme songs for the TV anime “Senpai wa Otoko no Ko” by “Kujira”, a new generation creator who is attracting attention not only from the music scene but also from many other fields, will be released on Wednesday, September 4th.
This is Kujira’s first tie-up, and he is handling the unusual double opening and ending theme songs. Both songs are already available for download, but Kujira sang the opening song “Wagamama” himself, and the ending song “Are ga Koi Datta Kana feat. Nishina” was written and composed by Kujira, with Nishina participating as a guest vocalist, and Kujira’s unique way of expression has become a hot topic.
“Was It Love? feat. Nishina” was just premiered on YouTube today at 8:00 p.m.
In addition to containing both songs, the CD will come in a luxurious package, with the CD inside a ring notebook featuring original anime illustrations.
The included BD will feature the non-credited opening and ending movies for the TV anime “Senpai wa Otoko no Ko,” and the CD package will also incorporate features that have yet to be revealed, so we look forward to further announcements in the future.
In addition, store-specific bonuses have also been announced.
“Senpai wa Otoko no Ko” is a hugely popular work that won third place in the Web Manga category of the “Next Manga Awards 2021” and first place in the “5th Manga Ranking for Manga to be Animated,” and has been distributed in countries around the world, with a cumulative total of over 180 million views in Japan on “LINE Manga” (as of January 2024). The first animated TV anime “Senpai wa Otoko no Ko” is currently airing on Fuji TV’s “Noitamina” and other stations.
Kujira will be performing their first solo show at Zepp in October, so keep an eye on them.

▼Nishina Profile & SNS▼
In this new era, a rising star has emerged with a natural singing voice: Nishina.
A gentle, ephemeral and addictive voice.
A nostalgic, soothing melody line.
A sense of words woven delicately together with innocent playfulness.
Her music is calm yet exudes a hidden madness that completely captivates those who listen to it.
Selected for Spotify’s “RADAR: Early Noise” program, which supports the next generation of artists to watch that year.
Her voice and music, which have slowly and leisurely captivated listeners at their own pace, have now quietly and more proactively begun to move forward in the world in search of new encounters.
An important newcomer, a talent embodying “transience and madness” has appeared here.
