Seven Billion Dots is a three-piece Japanese rock band made up of vocalist Masafumi, guitarist Ken and drummer Lyo. It has been announced that the band will perform the opening theme for the upcoming second season of Granblue Fantasy The Animation which will begin airing next month.
The song, Stay With Me, is taken from their 4-track major debut EP of the same name which will be released by Sony Music Labels on December 11, 2019.
Since forming in February 2018 the band has enjoyed great success, performing at big music events including Summer Sonic Festival 2018 as well as RO JACK and COUNTDOWN JAPAN 18/19 at the end of the year. Back in spring this year, their song Harukaze was used as the theme song for the television show Minna no Koshien on MBS as well as for the 91st Senbatsu High School Baseball on MBS and GAORA. In summer, their track A Piece of The World was used in a commercial for Hokkaido Kagakudaigakukoto School. The band released their first indies mini album pieces in July.
The season two opening theme Stay With Me is a grand rock tune with a story set against a vast blue sky. The song is produced by Satori Shiraishi who has helped put out countless hits, collaborating with the likes of SMAP, Nogizaka46, and more.
