It has been revealed that the opening theme song for the TV anime "Akane Banashi" based on the original work by Hiroki Suenaga and Takamasa Umagami is "Hitotarashi", a song written by Keisuke Kuwata. Kuwata himself performed the dubbing, and a special video using new anime footage, ``Keisuke Kuwata x TV Anime ``Akane Banashi'' Special Anime Video,'' as well as the second key visual and second PV, were also released.
This is the first time Kuwata has been in charge of writing and composing an anime theme song. You can listen to the new song “Hitotarashi” in the second PV. Kuwata commented, ``I was moved by the way the female protagonist overcomes various difficulties and stands up to others, and I was fully inspired by the work and created the song ``Hitotarashi''.'' Suenaga, Umajo, director of the original work, Ayumu Watanabe, and producer Kazuki Endo also commented on Kuwata's song. A celebratory illustration drawn by Umajo of Kuwata wearing a kimono and holding her own guitar was also released.
