Nippon Sangoku The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun Anime ED Theme to be "Chikai" by Leina! Additional Cast Including Ayumu Murase, Episode 1 Synopsis, and Preview Stills Released

Comment from Leina, the artist for the ending theme:

<Leina's Comment>
I have written "Chikai" as the ending theme for Nippon Sangoku The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun. I am Leina. I was deeply moved by each character's background, their feelings, and the justice they believe in, so I took great care in portraying that "conviction" and "vow" in my own way. The song contains my own vow and wish to believe in a future where we can all breathe peacefully and to live as someone who helps build that world. Please look forward to Nippon Sangoku The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun and "Chikai"!

Additional cast members revealed including Kenyu Horiuchi, Shuichiro Umeda, Shunsuke Sakuya, and Ayumu Murase, along with their comments:

<Kenyu Horiuchi as Yayakichi Hei>
The work is profound and makes me think deeply about "why humans must fight," drawing me right into the drama. I was given a character that is truly an actor's greatest joy to play, and the recording sessions were like a dream. I look forward to enjoying the finished product with all of you.

<Shuichiro Umeda as Muuton Nagao>
I'm Shuichiro Umeda, and I'll be voicing Muuton Nagao. Nippon Sangoku The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun is full of charming characters. While It depicts a harsh daily life and war, there is also humor and many memorable scenes. Not just Muuton... but everyone in the Seii has a unique name and personality. I think they’ll be hard to forget! I will perform with love for Leader Wajima and for Muuton Nagao! Hope you guys enjoy the show!

<Shunsuke Sakuya as Aki'i Kura>
I read the original manga all in one go, completely hooked. It was overflowing with the raw, burning emotions that modern Japanese people seem to have forgotten. My character, Aki'i Kura of the Seii, is a total ruffian but incredibly compassionate and loyal—a truly lovable character. Please look forward to the TV anime Nippon Sangoku The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun!

<Ayumu Murase as Tonotsugu Taira>
I will be providing the voice for Tonotsugu Taira. The shock I felt when reading the original manga is beyond words. The unpredictable developments, the characters, the human drama... I was moved by Matsuki-sensei’s talent and how meticulously everything is constructed. I’m working hard to help bring that world to life in the anime. Please look forward to it!
