RYOHEI (MEGAMASSO)

This'll be my first time working on anime song covers as a producer/arranger, and I'm really excited about it.

I'll be collaborating with three vocalists who are already prominent themselves, so I'll try not to be outdone, and to come up with arrangements that show off how good the original song was.

If you believe you've figured it out just from the song names, please go ahead and ask!



KAZAMI (DAIZYSTRIPPER)

We're going to deliver a whole bunch of famous anime songs to you with a wide range of vocalists.

I've never collaborated with an artist from outside my band before, but the chemistry is already starting to form.

From the old songs to the new, every single vocalist's style is gonna ring out, so this'll be a collaborative sound you won't find anywhere else-don't miss it!



MIA(MEJIBRAY)

I like metal and anime songs, I listen to them all the time, so I'm glad I could take part in this project.

I get to work with Dancho-san [of NoGod] and Yuugiri-san [also of DaizyStripper], too, and and the matchup of their pretty, high voices with anime songsit's a must-hear!



DANCHO(NOGOD)

Yes, yes! Thanks very much! This is Dancho-sannn

I get to collaborate with MiA-kun, first on the list of young talents, and sing covers of famous anime songs!

I almost never sing things other people have arranged, so I'm quite excited.

With all the young folks helping, Uncle Dancho's gonna leave it up to them and work hard!



YO-KA(DIAURA)

This is the second time I've been asked to work on anime-related productions, but with Ryohei-san from Megamasso on board, I'm sure it's going to be wild.

Who knows what we'll get when we mix my vocals with Ryohei-san's worldI hope you'll look forward to it.
