On Sunday, February 25, 2024, the ANI-ROCK FES 2024 live event was held at Kanagawa Yokohama Arena, where it was announced that TK from Ling Tosite Sigure will perform the opening theme song for My Hero Academia season 7. It was earlier revealed that the highly anticipated sequel will premiere on May 4, 2024.
Also known as Toru Kitajima, TK is a renowned Japanese musician, singer, and songwriter, who rose to prominence as the lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the famous Japanese rock music band, Ling Tosite Sigure. Later in 2011, he began to stream his solo works as TK from Ling Tosite Sigure.
Toru Kitajima (TK) has previously worked on the opening theme song for PSYCHO-PASS anime, titled Abnormalize, with his band, Ling Tosite Sigure. Besides that, he also performed the opening theme for the Tokyo Ghoul, titled Unravel, as part of his solo project.
As such, fans can expect him to deliver a memorable song for season 7. Official comments from TK have also arrived on the anime's official website. While the singer didn't mention the title of the opening song, he revealed what went inside his mind while composing the music.
The comment in Japanese, when translated into English reads as follows:
"I kept thinking about what I could draw for my work, as I have no personality, no talent, and am far from a hero. Suddenly, a soap bubble flew in front of me, and it was an extremely bright rainbow color.
He adds:
"The theme of this song was born at the moment when it disappeared, leaving behind a shape on the concrete. Is this battle that continues while being robbed, even gaining pain for yourself or someone else? In a world in tatters. May the shining light be engraved with this song."
One can assume from TK's comments that the opening theme song for My Hero Academia season 7 will echo the feelings of the heroes and serve as an extension of the fierce final battle.
Naomi Nakayama is directing the anime at Bones Studios, with Yosuke Kuroda supervising the series' scripts. Hitomi Odaishima and Yoshihiko Umakoshi are in charge of the character designs, while Yuuki Hayashi is composing the series' music.
Picking up the events from the previous season, My Hero Academia season 7 will begin with the Star and Stripes arc, where the American Hero will make her appearance. Additionally, the upcoming season will explore the decisive battle between the U.A. students and the Villains, led by none other than AFO.
