YOASOBI's new song "Watch me!" has been decided to be the opening theme for the TV anime "Witch Watch!" that will begin airing in April!

YOASOBI has been decided to be in charge of the opening theme for the TV anime “Witch Watch,” which will begin airing on 28 MBS/TBS stations nationwide from April 6th at 5pm every Sunday. The title of the song written for this work is “Watch me!”

“Witch Watch” is a popular manga currently being serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, with a total circulation of over 3 million copies sold. Nico, who is currently training to become a witch, decides to live with her childhood friend Otoki Morihito, a high school student with demonic powers. While Nico is excited about reunion with his childhood friend, Morihito has a mission as a familiar to protect Nico from the disaster that has been predicted. Nico’s magic causes unpredictable troubles, and the lives of two men and women of age… A mysterious day begins with many difficulties ahead! The bizarre magical comedy, drawn by Shinohara Kenta, the author of “SKET DANCE” and “Astra Beyond.”

Furthermore, the second PV of the anime, which uses some of the songs, has also been released, so please look forward to the anime broadcast and the release of the song. Comments from YOASOBI himself have also arrived.

■Your comment on YOASOBI

This is YOASOBI, who will be the opening theme for the song “Watch me!” I, Ayase, have been a fan of “SKET DANCE” not only for “Witch Watch,” but also for “SKET DANCE,” as it is a work by Shinohara Kenta, and I was very honored to be told this time. I wrote “Watch me!”, which I wrote about, focusing on the pure romantic feelings that Wakatsuki Nico, the protagonist of “Witch Watch,” has for her childhood friend “Otoki Morihito.” I love Nico-chan, who falls in love with Morihito, as a character, and I think this song expresses her cuteness in her songs.
