The ongoing TV anime series Back Arrow, which has been airing since January, has released a new key visual and promotional video and confirmed that Eir Aoi and FLOW are performing the new opening and ending themes respectively.
Back Arrow 4th Key Visual
The series is licensed by Funimation outside Japan. Check out the new promotional video below.Eir Aoi is perform the second opening theme Kodou
Eir Aoi | Comment "The lyrics of this song are about how the sadness you cannot bare alone can be half-bared if you're with another. How the choices you have made, the things you are lost on, and your continued worry aren't meaningless, and how we should be positive about our struggles as we live our lives. Let's overcome the time we have been unable to see one another and start a new chapter going into the future." *Comment translated from Japanese by MMNFLOW are performing the second ending theme United Sparrows
FLOW | Comment "We have tag-tamed with the directed, Taniguchi, since Code Geass, so we were naturally confident going into recording. Arrow and the gang are at the half point of the story so it's only going to get more exciting. For the ending song, we were given the themes of 'embraced kindness' and 'a song flowing with emotions,' so we took that and shared ideas amongst our band to transform it into sound. The result was a soundscape that FLOW hasn't explored before, and I believe it resonates with the show in a big way. We hope people enjoy our song together with the run up to the climax of the story." *Comment translated from Japanese by MMN The anime series is holding a vote for fans to choose their favourite scene from the first 12 episodes. The vote is open to everyone and can be cast here. Please note that the website is in Japanese, but all you need to do is click on the scene and choose 'vote' at the bottom.Information
