Despair-Themed Anisong Singer ReoNa: Special Collaboration Program Celebrating the Release of the Arknights: RISE FROM EMBER OP Theme to Be Exclusively Live-Streamed for Free on August 5th (Tuesday)!

A special program celebrating the release of “despair-themed anisong singer” ReoNa’s latest single, titled “Arknights: RISE FROM EMBER × ReoNa 11th Single ‘End of Days’ Release Commemoration Special on ABEMA,” will be exclusively live-streamed for free on ABEMA starting at 8:00 PM on August 5th, 2025 (Tuesday).

ReoNa is a groundbreaking female artist who presents herself as a “despair-themed anisong singer.” In July 2018, she provided the singing voice for the in-anime character Elsa Kanzaki in the TV anime “Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online,” and made her solo debut in August of the same year with the ending theme “SWEET HURT” for the TV anime “Happy Sugar Life.” Her delicate yet profound vocals have captivated many fans.

Now, ABEMA has announced the exclusive free live broadcast of the special program “Arknights: RISE FROM EMBER × ReoNa 11th Single ‘End of Days’ Release Commemoration Special on ABEMA” beginning at 8:00 PM on August 5th, 2025 (Tuesday), in celebration of the release of ReoNa’s 11th single and the opening theme “End of Days” for the TV anime Arknights: RISE FROM EMBER.

Each time ReoNa releases a new single, ABEMA brings a special program on the eve of the release. This time, as a collaboration program with the currently airing TV anime Arknights: RISE FROM EMBER, ReoNa will be joined live by Shizuka Ishigami (voice of Ch’en), Kiyono Yasuno (voice of Hoshiguma), and director Yuki Watanabe from the Arknights anime series.

With Takeshi Kato, the Editor-in-Chief of the Anime/Game genre at the entertainment-focused media outlet “SPICE,” serving as MC, the special will look back at the story so far, featuring scenes from Arknights: RISE FROM EMBER selected by the guests. There will also be discussions about the production of the OP theme “End of Days” and other music-related topics. Moreover, the broadcast will include the first ever televised live performance of “End of Days” by ReoNa, delving into the allure of the song.
