Voice Actor Daiki Yamashita Releases ‘Action,’ the Second Ending Theme for Yowamushi Pedal LIMIT BREAK

04.February.2023 | ANIME&GAME / MUSIC

On March 8, 2023, voice actor and singer Daiki Yamashita will release his first album, from here. Ahead of this exciting date, the songAction is now available on streaming services! The track was chosen as the second ending theme for the anime series Yowamushi Pedal LIMIT BREAK.

Action is a duet with fellow musician and personal friend Saeki YouthK. The song pairs both voices expertly, and it’s clear to listeners that these two performers are incredibly close. Focusing on those with belief and those who are believed in, the horn arrangement was provided by Saeki YouthK and is a unique element of the song. The recently released jacket cover illustration was created by the up-and-coming artist Aruta and depicts one character looking forward as another looks back. More information on the upcoming streaming release campaign for Action has also been announced, with a Twitter sharing campaign having already begun. See the official website for more details.

  • Yowamushi Pedal Anime’s ‘Five Bridges of Amakusa’ Ranks Number One in Places People Want to Visit Most

    17.April.2020 | SPOT

    Seikatsu Guide, and online website that helps support and promote local regions around Japan, has announced its Top 10 selection for “Places I Most Want To Go And See (Western Japan)” as voted for by people.

     

    Right now, most of us are under lockdown and are prohibited from making trips deemed unnecessary. So why not make a list of places you want to visit for when we can next travel? One of those places should be the Five Bridges of Amakusa in Kumamoto Prefecture.

     

    “Yowamushi Pedal” Anime | Five Bridges of Amakusa in Kumamoto


    Taking the number one spot on the list is Five Bridges of Amakusa which is located in Kamiamakusa, Kumamoto. As the name suggests, five bridges make up the landmark, all of which stretch from Misumimachi and connect to Oyano Island, Nagaura Island, Oike Island, and Maejima Island. The bridges are a famous sightseeing spot and have been chosen as one of Japan’s “100 Best Evening Spots” and “100 Best Roads.”

    One woman in her 30’s said, “I’ve been there on numerous occasions. It’s a really beautiful place.” A man in his 30’s also commented, “I love the [Yowamushi Pedal] manga. If you’re going as a fan, that scene is really exciting, so I went there on my bike.”

     

    Comment from the person in charge of the Kamiamakusa Planning Committee

    “Thank you for honouring us with 1st place in this […] ranking. Five Bridges of Amakusa features as the location for the race in the Yowamushi Pedal movie. It gets its name from its five bridges which connect the islands along National Route 266. The area is also nicknamed ‘Amakusa Pearl Line’ for the abundance of pearls that can be found here. It was also selected as one of Japan’s 100 Roads. It’s a truly beautiful bridge which is also an example of Japan’s fine bridge building craftsmanship.”

    They continue: “Amakusa is surrounded by the beautiful ocean and spectacular mountains. Most of the city is located in Unzen-Amakusa National Park. There are islands that sit atop the glistening sea, and there’s the Amakusa Alps which offer a spectacular view. It hails as one of Japan’s best places for nature! There are many fun outdoor activities to experience, like dolphin watching, kayaking, cycling, and more. We have incredible food like kuruma prawns, which are a speciality food here, as well as free range local chickens. You can relax your mind and body with a dip in the hot springs while gazing at the ocean. Please be sure to drop by Kamiamakusa to enjoy everything it has to offer.”

     

    Other places that ranked on the list include the following.

     

    2nd Place – “Manpuku” TV Drama | Porto Europe, Wakayama

    3rd Place – STU48 Promotional Video | Chichibugahama Beach, Kagawa

    4th Place – “Yatsuhakamura” Movie | Makido Cave, Okayama

  • Figure Skater Yuzuru Hanyu Features in Yowamushi Pedal Poster For Tour de Tohoku 2019

    21.August.2019 | ANIME&GAME / SPOT

    Tour de Tohoku is an annual cycling event held to support the restoration efforts after the Great East Japan Earthquake. In promotion of this year’s event, special posters have been created in collaboration with Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu and 15 characters from the hit cycling anime series Yowamushi Pedal. The event collaborated with the series last year too.

     

    The posters will begin rolling out at the Tokyo Metro Yowamushi Line section of Shinjuku Station, the Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line section of Shibuya Station, and the Sendai Subway at Sendai Station from August 26. Yuzuru Hanyu has been appointed as part of Tour de Tohoku Friends this year, an initiative where notable people aid in various activities in support of the event.

    The collaborative posters illustrations of Yuzuru Hanyu as a character in Yowamushi Pedal alongside the series protagonist Sakamichi Onoda. Both of them are wearing the official cycling jersey of the event designed by Paul Smith.

     

    There are nine of these special posters in total, five of which feature Hanyu, and six of which showcase backgrounds of actual courses in the event.

    Speaking about his part in the event, Yuzuru Hanyu commented: “This is the first time I have appeared on a Tour de Tohoku poster to support the event as a Tour de Tohoku Friend, and it’s alongside everyone in the world of Yowamushi Pedal. I loved Yowamushi Pedal, it always gives me the strength to take a step forward, and gives me the power to head towards a single goal. I’m overjoyed to be able to support [those cyclists] going above and beyond as well as the people of Tohoku alongside Onoda [Sakamichi] and [Akira] Midousuji! By feeling the ‘strength’ of the cyclists and supporting them we can become one. We will become the ‘strength of Tohoku.’ That’s the kind of Tour de Tohoko I am supporting! I pray that Tohoku will gather lots of strength. Let Onoda and the others, myself, and all of the people supporting [this event] lend their strength to Tohoku!’

    Wataru Watanabe, the author of Yowamushi Pedal, also commented: “Congratulations once again this year on Tour de Tohoko 2019. I’m also supporting Yowamushi Pedal again this year with illustrations at the exhibition at Ishinomori Manga Museum in Ishinomaki. I’m also collaborating with figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu too so it’s sure to go down a storm! Every year since the year of the earthquake I have made bags for charity and donated all of the proceedings. I pray that it will help with the restoration efforts even if only a little. Get out there on your bicycles and feel the town, nature, air, and people’s warmth on your skin!”
