It has been announced that the 4th major single from BiS titled Are you ready? will be used as the new ending theme for the ongoing anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS. The full song will debut on Kenta Matsukuma’s radio show, the group’s producer.
The song is inspired by the hit 2018 biographical film Bohemian Rhapsody, and like Queen’s epic song of the same name has a long run time of 11 minutes and 24 seconds. This time frame is significant as it mirrors the date on which Freddy Mercury passed away (November 24, 1991).
Speaking about the tie-up with the anime series, BiS commented: “We are so happy to be in charge of the ending theme for Yu-Gi-Oh!! We will w ork hard like nobody has ever seen before so we can become as popular as Yu-Gi-Oh! Rock on!”
BiS are currently promoting their new single with a series of release events and performing on tour in Japan. Don’t miss out on their biggest and most epic release to date.
