In addition, the English version of the opening theme for the TV anime “Witch Watch!”, “Watch me!”, will be released on Friday, May 30th for two consecutive weeks!
YOASOBI releases the English version of the song “PLAYERS,” which was written as a collaboration song for the PlayStation® 30th anniversary project “Project: MEMORY CARD”! To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of the original PlayStation, this project was developed with the concept of “saving PlayStation’s memories into YOASOBI songs.” This is the English release of the song “PLAYERS,” which is written based on the “Episode of a Game You Want to Delete Your Memories and Play Again,” which was recruited by users. And it’s still fresh in our memory that they performed at MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN Grand Ceremony yesterday.
This translation of poem is also handled by Konnie Aoki, who has written all the translations of previous English versions. Furthermore, the memorable catchy chants in the song are newly recorded as an English version of the chorus squad. I hope you enjoy it by paying attention to the sound and rhythm of the words that are unique to the English version.
In addition, the English version of the opening theme for the TV anime “Watch me!”, the latest release song, will also be released for two consecutive weeks on Friday, May 30th. The Japanese version of the song was released on Sunday, May 18th, and it first appeared in the Oricon Weekly Digital Singles (Single Song) Ranking, and Music Video is currently attracting attention, with a record of over 2.4 million views and a ranking of the latest rising rankings. I hope you’ll be looking forward to the release of YOASOBI’s English version of the song, which is developed with rhythmic English pronunciation while still making full use of the sound of the Japanese language.
