YOASOBI’s new song “UNDEAD”, which will be the theme song for “Monogatari Series Off & Monster Season”, will be released digitally on July 1st, and the cover photo has been released ahead of the release. Nishio Isin, the creator of the “Monogatari Series”, wrote the original novel himself and created the song based on it. The song is typical of YOASOBI, with ikura’s ever-changing vocals bouncing around on top of the dizzying sound that is Ayase’s signature. The band has enthusiastic fans not only in Japan but also overseas, and following their musical anthems such as “Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari” and “Renai Circulation”, this song is sure to write a new page. Details of the novel are scheduled to be announced tomorrow, so be sure to check it out.
The anime “Monogatari Series Off & Monster Season” will be available on ABEMA every Saturday from 10:00 p.m. starting July 6th (Saturday), so be sure to enjoy the anime, music, and novels.

◇YOASOBI Comment
The “Monogatari” series has such a strong attachment to him that when asked about his favorite anime series, he always answers “Bakemonogatari.”
When I found out that I would be in charge of the music for the latest work, I was so happy and excited. I put my heart and soul into creating it, filled with love for the work and each of the characters that appear in it. I hope you all enjoy it.
I am truly honored to be involved in the latest work of the “Monogatari” series, which has been loved by many people for a long time, through music. I sang while carefully interpreting the feelings of each character that appears in the work. I hope you enjoy listening to it.
