I think that after watching manga and anime many times, I ended up singing along to Kazuya’s feelings! As the title “Umitsuki” is the perfect song for the summer broadcast period, so I would be happy if you enjoyed it along with Kanokari ♡

This popular romantic comedy by Miyajima Reiji, currently being serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine, has sold over 13.5 million copies worldwide.
The long-awaited fourth season of the TV anime!
I introduced Mizuhara Chizuru, a lovely and lovely “rental” girlfriend (Renkano), to both my family and friends as a “real” girlfriend.
Kinoshita Kazuya is a no-no college student.
Kazuya continues to have a “false” relationship without being able to say it’s a lie, and as they overcome various events together, he gradually develops his “real” feelings for Chizuru.
After successfully completing the crowdfunding of film production, Kazuya finally decides to become “prepared” for Chizuru.

The story heats up even more with the people around you! And then the setting is the Hawaiians! !

[ClariS Profile]
ClariS is the artist who means “bright, clean, shining” in Latin.
To date, he has been active in releasing 28 singles, 4 mini albums, one EP, seven original albums, and the best album, and has been in charge of many anime tie-ups.
The anime-specialized music magazine “LisAnime!” has been running a special feature featuring ClariS’s songs as an supplementary CD. Seeing this, the anime producer who wrote “My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute” got his eye on it, and although he was a newcomer, he was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime, he made his major debut in October 2010 with the single “irony” (opening the TV anime “My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute”). From then on, he continued his activities without revealing his true self, citing his prioritization.
The second single “Connect” released in February 2011 will be the representative song of ClariS, which is extremely popular overseas, with the opening theme for the powerful TV anime “Puella Magi Madoka Magica,” and has since surpassed 70 million streaming views. Member Alice graduated with her third album “PARTY TIME” released in June 2014.
In November 2014, it was announced that Karen will be joining the anime music magazine LisAni! Vol. 19, and ClariS is taking a new step.
In October 2020, ClariS, who was celebrating her 10th anniversary in her major debut, attracted a lot of attention when she revealed her true face during her first live streaming live performance in her career. In 2022, in addition to his sixth full album, “Parfaitone,” he also released his single “ALIVE,” which was the opening theme for the TV anime “Licorice Recoil.” In addition to running his first title program, “ClariS New Chapter,” he also made his first appearance on THE FIRST TAKE (playing “Connect” and “ALIVE”), and became a trending trend on social media, making it a dramatic year for ClariS.
In June 2023, he released his first concept EP, “Lord Tropical Fish,” covering Wink’s masterpieces, and actively appeared in the media, expanding his opportunities for further activities. In May 2024, they released their 28th single “Andante” (theme for the ending of the TV anime “Spice and Wolf MERCHANT MEETS THE WISE WOLF”) and their 7th album “Iris,” which marks the first time in about two years. Furthermore, in October, when it celebrated its 14th anniversary, they released two mini albums, “AUTUMN TRACKS – Autumn Songs” and their best album “ClariS ~SINGLE BEST 2nd~” in a row.
Starting in October, a live tour “ClariS AUTUMN TOUR 2024 ~Via Fortuna~” will be held, which will take place in three cities (5 performances in total), and Karen will graduate from ClariS with this tour.
On January 25th, 2025, the event “LisAnime! LIVE 2025” (Nippon Budokan) will perform for the first time under the new organization, and it was announced that Ellie and Anna will be welcomed as new members, and the activities of ClariS Chapter 3 have begun in earnest as a trio unit of Clara, Ellie and Anna.
