In March 2022, the cover song project CrosSing was launched. Amassing instant popularity, tracks featured as part of the project have pulled in millions of views. The project has featured popular voice actors Maaya Uchida, Kana Hanazawa, and Akari Kito. The channel currently has over 100,000 subscribers.    On October 12, the channel posted a recording video of voice actress Yoko Hikasa singing the opening theme song to the original Shaman King anime series, Over Soul.    Hikasa is best known for playing Utahime Iori in Jujutsu Kaisen, Yoh Asakura in the new remake of Shaman King, and Mio Akiyama in K-On! While Over Soul is over two decades old, the song still packs a punch. Be sure to listen to the actress's version below!   An interview will also be posted on October 14, so look forward to it.  Over Soul (from CrosSing) - Yoko Hikasa (Recording Movie)

    The song is now available to stream on multiple sites, and those purchasing the high-resolution version on mora will be able to hear an exclusive chat with Hikasa herself.   In addition, those who play the song on LINE MUSIC over 300 times in two weeks starting October 12 will be entered for a chance to win an autographed image.   Those following the official CrosSing Twitter and TikTok accounts can repost a specific post to be entered to win a signed autograph card, and two lucky winners will be selected. Follow CrosSing on Twitter for more details!   On September 21, the CrosSing project released its first compilation album, CrosSing Collection Vol. 1. In addition to the 12 incredible tracks currently available on YouTube and streaming services, Kana Hanazawa’s cover of Rain from Makoto Shinkai’s short anime film The Garden of Words is included as a bonus track.  Stay tuned for more from the 3rd season of CrosSing!

Benelic released a new collection of seven accessories inspired by the crystal necklace and cube from Studio Ghibli's animated film Laputa: Castle in the Sky at Donguri Kyowakoku stores and the online shop Sora no Ue in Japan at the end of May.   The collection is part of the Studio Ghibli-themed "Pomponner" accessory series by Benelic. Pomponner is French for 'doll oneself up' or 'get dolled up.' It includes piercings, earrings, rings, and hairbands.   The crystal has been made from blue semi-transparent epoxy, giving it a high quality look. It's also glow in the dark, so leave it in a place with lots of sunlight and then put it somewhere dark where it will illuminate. The accessories are simple in design too so can be worn outdoors and at the office while still celebrating the Studio Ghibli classic.
