[Opening Theme: ClariS]

We are ClariS, and we are thrilled to be in charge of the opening theme for the TV anime "The Ogre's Bride"! This is an anime adaptation of a wonderful story where the glamorous beauty of the ayakashi is deeply impressive, and you can truly feel the preciousness of loving and being loved by someone! We are filled with gratitude to be able to handle the OP theme for this series ▽ From the PV currently available, the delicate worldview of "The Ogre's Bride" comes through beautifully, and we can't wait for the broadcast to start! "Hitokoto" is a song that places Yuzu-chan's feelings onto a glamorous yet sorrowful melody. Furthermore, it has been finished as a song where you can enjoy the layering and depth of our voices through harmonies and choruses. In our own style, we will stay close to the TV anime "The Ogre's Bride" and enliven the work with music that explores warmth and beauty.

[Ending Theme: Ikusaburo Yamazaki]

I am deeply honored to be in charge of the theme song for the TV anime "The Ogre's Bride." I was strongly moved by the strength within the sadness and the beauty of "loving someone" that this work possesses. The destinies and feelings of the characters come through even more vividly, and I am delighted that my song "Shinboshi" can harmonize with the world of this work. I hope this work, along with the song, leaves a deep impression on the hearts of everyone who watches the anime.

There are now only three weeks left until the anime broadcast begins. When I first heard about the anime adaptation, I thought it was still far in the future, but time flew by in a flash, and my heart races with nervousness every time I check the calendar. For both the OP and ED songs, they have created wonderful pieces that evoke the Japanese-style fantasy worldview of "The Ogre's Bride" from both Yuzu's and Reiya's perspectives. With the advance screening for Episode 1 also confirmed, I am very much looking forward to the day it reaches everyone. Please continue to support "The Ogre's Bride."

The destined love woven by Yuzu and Reiya will vividly come to life through beautiful visuals and music. Please look forward to the TV anime "The Ogre's Bride," which is packed with plenty of heart-fluttering moments and emotional depth. I am also very happy to welcome the broadcast together with all of you.
