Anly’s new song VOLTAGE will serve as the new ending theme song for the TV Tokyo anime series Boruto. 

This will be the second time that Anly has teamed up with the Naruto series, having previously performed the opening theme Kara no Kokoro from Naruto Shippuden. The track has been streamed over 20 million times globally.

Comment from Anly

It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with the Naruto series, and I’m deeply moved to be returning to contribute. VOLTAGE is a song meant to cheer people up and to inspire friends to overcome anything standing in their way. While it’s similar in many ways to Kara no Kokoro, I feel like this is even cooler than Boruto’s dad’s song! I hope everyone enjoys it.

The new ending theme song will premiere with the new episode of Boruto airing on TV Tokyo on January 9, 2022.
