‘VOLTAGE’ by Anly Chosen as Ending Theme for BORUTO Anime Series
20.December.2021 | ANIME&GAME / MUSIC
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.©岸本斉史 スコット/集英社・テレビ東京・ぴえろ

A new visual and promotional video for the TV anime series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was showcased at Jump Festa 2021 on Saturday (December 19).
The visual teases the new Vessel Arc along with new characters including Kawaki and the members of Kara.
The promotional video showcases scenes from the new arc including Boruto and Kawaki facing off. Check it out below.
Some of the new cast members have released comments talking about their roles, as has the author of the Boruta manga Mikio Ikemoto. Read them below.
Mikio Ikemoto (Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Author) | Comment
It’s already been a year since my comment about Kawaki finally getting voiced in the anime, and it’s finally happened – he’s walking and talking! Thanks to the divine work of the anime staff and voice cast, he has come to life, and is sure to demonstrate a charm that is on par with Boruto and Naruto. Those currently reading the manga are now reaching the climax of a life or death struggle with a certain powerful enemy. It’s a turning point in the series. Do you remember the beginning of the manga’s first chapter? That’s right, it was grown-up Boruto fighting with Kawaki. But how will that play into the rest of the story? I can’t talk about it just yet, but the time when they have both matured and reached that age actually isn’t that far off. Why are they both fighting? And what of Naruto’s safety? Don’t miss out on the continuation of the developing story!”
Yūma Uchida (as Kawaki) | Comment
“Naruto was the first manga I ever purchased. The fact that I get to be involved with Boruto, a new story that ties into that world, is something I can’t get my head around. I’m extremely happy about it! I feel overwhelmed by Kawaki’s sharp gaze and strong presence, but I hope to get his part down to a tee.”
Yūichi Nakamura (as Koji Kashin) | Comment
“Koji Kashin is a particularly interesting character as you read the Boruto manga. I’m filled with gratitude that I get to play his part. His true identity has been recently revealed in the latest volumes, but I still can’t contain my excitement! I can’t wait to voice those scenes. I will put my all into the series.”
Akio Ohtsuka (as Amado) | Comment
“Looking back, I’ve been tied to the series since Naruto, and I’m honoured to once again be part of it like this. Amado seems like an eccentric character, but I think that we’ll walk together with him in the shinobi’s story from here on out.”
