It has been five years since KANA-BOON's debut to stardom and to celebrate, they're surging through their "5 season" plan of 5 live performances, 5 releases and 5 events to celebrate with their fans. However, as the end of season 5 approaches, they are releasing two songs at once on 12th June. Their new single Massara will be released as a coupling song along with FLYERS; a new song that will become the theme song for a brand new smartphone game called Kick-Flight. An anime game trailer is now available on YouTube. Kick-Flight × KANA-BOON: FLYERS Animated Trailer
The making of the animation for the trailer was directed by MAPPA, who is responsible for many high quality anime such as Yuri!!! on Ice, BANANA FISH and much more. Munehisa Sakai, who has managed a number of famous anime such as ONE PIECE FILM: STRONG WORLD and Zombie Land Saga, was the overall director, created the storyboard and producer. A light rock beat and speedy lyrics ー a classic KANA-BOON feel-good style. The high quality animation is something you should not miss out on either. Statement by vocalist Maguro Taniguchi"We have this crazy dream of kicking the life back into this idle world, so we made a song about it. This song is now the theme song for the upcoming game Kick-Flight. I am so happy we bumped into this opportunity. I am especially pleased that we even managed to find and create words that reflect us, which will be the key ingredient in our songs to come. After seeing the game trailer, I was so surprised at the quality ー it looks like it could be an anime. I'm so pleased with it! You can tell that it was made by a very passionate team of video makers. Now I'm even more excited to play the game. Please watch the video!" © Grenge, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Information

KANA-BOON have revealed that they will release their new single Massara ("Brand New") on June 12. The refreshing-sounding and feel-good song is being used as the opening theme for the ongoing anime series Sarazanmai. The single is coupled with the up-tempo track FLYERS which features wordplay by the band's vocalist Maguro Taniguchi. First Press Limited Edition copies of the single come with a DVD featuring the band's performance at Yokohama Bay Hall taken from their 55-date tour "Let's go 55 ONE-MAAN!!" held across all 47 prefectures of Japan, as well as a tour documentary. The footage comes as proof of KANA-BOON having refined their live performances even more.
Additionally, the CD cover art is a photo of KANA-BOON's muse Yukino Kishii who has appeared in several of their music videos including Naimononedari, 1.2. step to you and Ikiteyuku. This marks her 5th year working with the band. KANA-BOON vocalist Maguro Taniguchi released the following statement on the new single: "It's been 5 years our debut during which we have come to perform at some crazy events and have release many songs. We are now adding a new song to the repertoire. It's the theme song for the anime series Sarazanmai. We themed the lyrics on 'connections' as the [anime's] story is rooted in that. You and I, me and you, the world and myself, the stage and the floor, a person I have never seen before and one I have. I want this song to take on both the role of creating new connections and reconnecting things." Information
