Two fairs for the popular Fate anime series are set to be held at Animate branches across Japan: the “Fate/Grand Order – Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia Climax Fair” and the “Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven’s Feel – III. Spring Song Release Fair.”

Fate/Grand Order – Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia

Fate/stay night: Heaven’s Feel

The Fate series began in 2004 with the release of the PC game Fate/stay night. This was the start of things to come to what would be turned into a franchise, eventually spawning anime series, animated movies, books, games, and more. The series continues to grow in popularity and is lauded the world over.

Special Clear Cards (5 Designs)

The “Fate/Grand Order – Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia Climax Fair” will be held in conjunction with the TV anime series Fate/Grand Order – Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia, which is set to begin airing on March  7, 2020.

The music video for Aimer’s new song Haru wa Yuku has been posted on the singer’s official YouTube channel. The song will be used as the main theme for the upcoming anime film Fate/stay night: Heaven’s Feel III. spring song which will release on March 28, 2020 as the final film in the planned trilogy. Aimer also performed the main themes for the previous two films, Fate/stay night: Heaven’s Feel I. presage flower (2017) and Fate/stay night: Heaven’s Feel II. lost butterfly (2019).

Takahiro Miki was the director for Aimer’s previous two main themes for the first two films, Hana no Uta and I beg you, which both have over 10 million views on YouTube. They star Japanese actress Minami Hamabe.

Both Takahiro Miki and Minami Hamabe have returned for the final music video too, completing the trilogy.

In the video, we see Minami Hamabe in two different outfits, black and white, standing underneath a cherry blossom tree in full bloom. Its beauty is a faint allusion to the Fate/stay Night: Heaven’s Feel movie story line, mixed together with chaos. We also see Hamabe appear as she did in the Hana no Uta and I beg you music videos too.

Seeing an actress star in a long-term music video project like this, which has been ongoing since October 2017, is a rare thing indeed. The current version of the new music video is just a teaser, but the full version is scheduled to be released on Aimer’s YouTube channel in the near future.

The artwork for Aimer’s 18th single Haru wa Yuku/marie was also posted on her official website and features Aimer herself sat under a fully-bloomed cherry tree.

Aimer said: “I’m so incredibly happy to have been able to weave this story together into one from three songs with [Yuki] Kajiura and three music videos together with director Miki and Minami, finishing with ‘Haru wa Yuku.’ I’m filled with gratitude for the both of them [Miki and Minami]. I want everyone to watch this final piece while thinking about ‘Hana no Uta’ and ‘I beg you.’ I hope this music video and the song ‘Haru wa Yuku’ resonates with people deeply.”
