"CITY THE ANIMATION," the highly anticipated TV anime of the summer, features an opening theme by Furui Riho in her debut anime collaboration!

The TV anime "CITY THE ANIMATION," based on the work by creator Keiichi Arawi, is produced by Kyoto Animation. As Keiichi Arawi's first anime adaptation since the beloved "Nichijou," and Kyoto Animation's first entirely new anime in six years, this highly anticipated title has everyone talking!

The title track "Hello" is the opening theme for TV anime "CITY THE ANIMATION," scheduled to premiere on July 6. It's a bold and original piece penned by Furui Riho for her first-ever anime collaboration. Blending an upbeat rhythm with dramatic progression, the track is elevated by her clear, expansive vocals, resulting in a euphoric number that brightens the hearts of all who hear it. Imbued with emotions of "reunion," the song conveys an optimistic message about navigating the difficulties and uncertainties of adulthood while moving forward together with friends in search of one's true self.

It includes a coupling track: "Chanto," a dance tune that showcases Furui Riho's pop sensibility. This song can be seen as an anthem of encouragement for everyone living in today’s fast-changing society, with impactful lyrics that uplift the spirit. Furthermore, this comprehensive single also includes a TV anime size version of "Hello" and its instrumental, making for four tracks in total.
