"Grand Blue Dreaming" Season 3 Releases Stylish New Key Visual! Theme Song by FUNKY MONKEY BΛBY'S, Advance Screening Also Confirmed

To coincide with "Scuba Diving Day" on May 24th, three major pieces of information regarding Season 3 of the TV anime "Grand Blue Dreaming" have been released all at once.

The original work is a "naked" youth diving comedy serialized in Kodansha's "good! Afternoon," written by Kenji Inoue and illustrated by Kimitake Yoshioka, which has surpassed 10 million copies in circulation worldwide.

The key visual for the upcoming season has been unveiled. Depicting seven characters walking on a southern island, the visual has a stylish finish that sets it apart from the previous imagery of "Grand Blue Dreaming." Anticipation is rising for what kind of story will unfold with Palau as the stage.

Furthermore, the opening theme song has also been announced. At the tour final of "FUNKY MONKEY BΛBY'S 20th anniversary TOUR ~Sonomanma Higashi e Nishi e~" held at Showa Women's University Hitomi Memorial Hall on May 24th, it was revealed that the song will be "Natsuko" sung by FUNKY MONKEY BΛBY'S.

Regarding this tie-up, FUNKY MONKEY BΛBY'S commented, "We are thrilled to be in charge of the theme song for such a wonderful anime, 'Grand Blue Dreaming.' Youth, friendship, nakedness... We created this song with the feeling of going back to retrieve a treasure we left behind in some past summer. 'In the time we have left, how many more times can we spend this season?' We hope the summer of 2026 will be a sparkling and beautiful time for everyone!"

Additionally, it was confirmed that an advance screening of the TV anime "Grand Blue Dreaming" Season 3 with stage greetings will be held for two sessions at Shinjuku Wald 9 on June 19th. On the day of the event, in addition to the screening of Episodes 1 and 2, a talk show featuring the cast members will take place. The lineup of speakers includes Yūma Uchida, Ryōhei Kimura, Chika Anzai, and Kana Asumi.
