Superfly has unveiled a performance music video for their new song Kakusei, which is included on their upcoming album 0 (Zero). The album is set to release on January 15, 2020, as their first original album in four and a half years. The music video consists of footage from their live concerts. 

‘Kakusei’ Music Video

Kakusei was written as the theme song for the original animated movie Promare. The music video includes footage from Superfly’s Japan arena tour that took place last year from September to December and saw 15 live performances in 10 different locations. The dramatic CG effects in the video will instantly catch your gaze and fill you with excitement. 

The new album 0 will be released on January 15, 2020, and contains 11 songs. To place an order, check the information section below. 

Promare is an upcoming animated film by Studio Trigger being made in collaboration with XFLAG. It is directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and written by Kazuki Nakashima, both of who worked on Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill.

Toho Animation released a new long promotional video on their official YouTube channel. In it, we hear Superfly’s song Kakusei which is the main theme for the series. We also get to hear the full voice cast along with new scenes.

Promare draws a line under Japanese animation and instead has more universal animation. It has an incredible voice cast and will be packed with plenty of dramatic elements.

Promare will premiere on May 24, 2019.

Promare is an upcoming animated film by Studio Trigger being made in collaboration with XFLAG. It is directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and written by Kazuki Nakashima, both of who worked on Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill. A brand new trailer has just dropped detailing new information.

The film’s opening and ending themes will be performed by Superfly, a Japanese rock act now consisting of sole member Shiho Ochi lauded for her overwhelming vocal ability and original songwriting.

The soul-shaking main theme Kakusei (“Awakening”) is Superfly’s first ever song written for an anime movie. Superfly comments: “I felt that the film doesn’t merely depict stirred-up battles. It also feels like it’s about humanity, so the song is not about fighting to hurt someone, but protect them. The song of course sounds cool and the melody is interesting too sort of like a collage. It’s something people haven’t seen from Superfly before. It’s become something completely new.”

Superfly’s powerful voice coupled with the melody which flickers like a flame―a theme of the movie itself―serves to kindle the exciting fire the film spouts.

Check out the new trailer here

In the new trailer we see the lead character Galo Thymos (Kenichi Matsuyama), a new member of the Burning Rescue team, fighting against Lio Fotia (Taichi Saotome), the leader of Burnish Flare, to try and extinguish her flame.

The action scenes draw a line under all Japanese animation up to now, showcasing revolutionary visuals as we have come to expect from Studio Trigger.

The anime is set to deliver plenty of action and drama on an immense scale. Promare will be released on May 24, 2019.

Kubo Tomotaka is the art director, who worked on Studio Ponoc’s Mary and the Witch’s Flower. Masashi Ichifuru is creating the title logo design who worked on packaging designs for Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance. Acclaimed Japanese animation company Sanzigen is producing the 3D CG parts of the movie.

Below is the first promotional video of the anime film which dropped today on TOHO Animation’s official YouTube channel in which we get to see a closer look at what Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Nakashima have planned along with a music score by Hiroyuki Sawano.
