A special anime video of SiM’s new song UNDER THE TREE, the theme song of Season 3, Part 1, has also been uploaded to YouTube. Fans of the series won’t want to miss the shots of Eren, Mikasa, and Armin during their childhood.

Additionally, Attack on Titan The Final Season – Season 3, Part 1 is now available to stream on dtv, d Anime Store, GYAO!, Netflix, TELASA, Hikari TV, U-NEXT, Amazon Prime Video, and DMM TV.

Season 3, Part 1 Summary
Eren activates The Rumbling to destroy the world. Countless Titans begin their march, trampling down everything in their path. Those left behind prepare to take the final fight to their former friend, including Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Connie, Hanji, Annie, Reiner, and others who hope to find a way to save civilizations around the globe.

In 2013, Shinichi Ishizuka’s BLUE GIANT manga series hit the scene. Serialized in Big Comic, the series has sold over 9 million copies to date. Readers have fallen in love with the author’s depiction of emotion and Ishizuka has even influenced the real-world jazz scene with his creation. BLUE GIANT will be adapted into an anime film coming to theaters on February 17, and the staff’s dream of bringing real jazz at max volume to the masses will finally come true.

The world-renowned pianist Hiromi Uehara oversaw the film’s music. The authentic jazz heard in the film’s trailer has already become a hot topic, and the original soundtrack will be released on February 17, the same day as the film’s release.

Hiromi Uehara has been a close friend of Shinichi Ishizuka for years, and even before the film adaptation was announced, she had privately composed an original song for JASS, the trio formed by the main character Dai Miyamoto. Uehara wrote, performed, and produced the entire soundtrack including the songs FIRST NOTE, N.E.W., and WE WILL.

Saxophonist Tomoaki Baba will play the saxophone for the character Dai, who aspires to be the best sax player on Earth. Auditions were held in cooperation with Universal Music, featuring leading players from Japan and abroad. Baba was an easy choice, wowing judges with his large sax and powerful performance. Shun Ishiwaka, the drummer of the band Millennium Parade, will play the drums for Dai’s classmate Shunji Tamada.

More than 30 top-class classical and jazz musicians participated in the soundtrack’s production, including a string section conducted by Miho Hazama and led by members of Hiromi Uehara’s Piano Quintet.

Hiromi Uehara also wrote the original track BLUE GIANT, used as the film’s end-roll song. “When I was doing the recording for this film, this melody suddenly popped into my head. I became obsessed and immediately wrote it down,” Uehara said. “I was so inspired by the BLUE GIANT film that I created this song that same day. Of course, I had to title it the same thing!”

The soundtrack contains 29 songs and is perfect for listening to while you enjoy a quiet winter night at home. Don’t miss it!

It has been announced that Attack on Titan The Final Season will split its third part into two halves.

The first half will begin airing on NHK General starting March 3 at 24:25. The second half
will air sometime during 2023 with more details to be revealed in the future.

Prior to this, a special compilation of all 87 episodes will be aired on NHK General from
February 25 to February 27. Every episode of Attack on Titan that has aired to date will be condensed into seven episodes.

A new trailer has been released ahead of the beginning of Part 3 inspired by the phrase “This is Freedom.” Fans will see Eren smiling as a child, a vast difference from the man he grows to be. The despair in the video is palpable, but there is still some hope being kept alive by the characters.

Finally, to commemorate the third part of The Final Season, fans will be able to watch episodes from the series for free on the streaming service GYAO! starting January 17.

After years of massive popularity, Attack on Titan is approaching its climax. Be sure to tune into Part 3 when it begins airing in March!

Kohta Yamamoto, the next-generation composer in charge of creating music for anime series like Attack on Titan The Final Season and Kingdom, has released a remix album! The album contains rearranged versions of his own anime tracks released by Pony Canyon and is now available to stream.

The jacket illustration was created by Yasuto Sasada, a contemporary artist from the same generation was Yamamoto, who was born in 1987 and is active around the world. 

“The background is blue, which is reminiscent of the Japanese sea and sky,” Sasada said. “His hair is red, reminiscent of the rising sun. The clothing and headphones are decorated with ukiyo-e and traditional patterns. Yamamoto’s mastery of the sounds of so many instruments needed to be represented, so I embedded piano and guitar parts into his body.” 

PONY CANYON’s anime YouTube channel has released an official video using Splinter Wolf KOHTA YAMAMOTO Self-Remix, a reimagining of the popular song Splinter Wolf from Attack on Titan The Final Season.
