amazarashi Hiromu Akita comment

When I read the original story of ``86'', I felt like I was grabbed by the neck and forced to confront the contradictions and conflicts that we, living in this world at this time, are currently facing. When creating the opening theme, I was conscious of expressing the world of the story as much as possible, and trying to convey the contradictions and conflicts that we live in today in a realistic way, just like in ``86''. I made it. Nice to meet you.

The new song “Kyoukaisen” was also performed for the first time at amazarashi Live Tour 2020 “boycott” held for the first time in about two years, and details such as release information will be announced at a later date.

introduction

First Defense Squadron, First Theater District, Eastern Front, commonly known as Spearhead Squadron.

They are made up of eighty-six boys and girls who were "excluded" from the Republic of Sun Magnolia.

He was engaged in a harsh battle against the unmanned weapons known as Legions deployed by the Gearde Empire.

And the Spearhead Squadron, whose numbers are decreasing one after another, is assigned a "special reconnaissance mission" with a 0% success rate and an unlimited mission period.

It was practically a death sentence from his home country, but

The five leaders are Shinei Nouzen, Raiden Suga, Theoto Rikka, Anju Emma, and Kurena Kukumira.

Still, I choose to keep moving forward and keep fighting.

I wasn't trying to pursue hope or a future.

The "battlefield" had become their only place to belong.

Ironically, that wish would come true in a new world that he had unknowingly stepped into.
