Fall 2017 Anime: Official Twitter Hashtags & Pages
The MANGA.TOKYO staff had its share of summer. Now, all we wish is for the hot and humid weather to go away and give its place to the red and cool autumn.
Love and Lies (Koi to Uso), the upcoming Summer 2017 anime, has finally revealed that Shinnosuke Tachibana has been cast as the voice of Yusuke Nisaka!
Love and Lies is set in a world where the government picks your marriage partner. Yusuke Nisaka is a classmate of protagonist Nejima, and is very popular with girls because of his good looks and cool behavior. Tachibana commented, ‘Nisaka is a very strange guy with a transparency that nobody can grasp, so if I am able to give this impression of him with my voice, I’d be happy.’
The opening and ending theme have also been revealed. Frederic will sing the opening theme ‘Kanashii Ureshii’ and Roys will sing the ending theme ‘Can’t you say’. And as the next season is getting closer, the air date has also been revealed. The anime will start airing on 3 July 2017. You can find a detailed list of airtime and channels below.
Comment from Shunnosuke Tachibana (Yusuke Nisaka)
‘The reactions of the heart are very interesting and this story will make us experience them with a mix of sweetness and sourness. Also, Nisaka is a very strange guy with a transparency that nobody can grasp, so if I am able to give this impression of him with my voice, I’d be happy.’
Comment from Frederic’s Koji Mihara (Bass)
‘We are very happy that Frederic was chosen to provide the opening theme. Even before the offer, I already knew of the original manga and was very attracted to the fine drawings and the pure approach taken on “lies.” If we look at all the scenes and the main feelings in them, it becomes clear that sadness and happiness are closely entwined. And just like that, a Frederic song even I couldn’t have imagined was made. It would be great if the song became a symbol for the story of the anime and would give strength to Love and Lies.’
Comment from Musawo
‘When I first listened to the demo of the song, I pictured the crying faces of the characters and thought, “Because they like someone, they can be so sad but they can also be so happy for the same reason.” It was the first time I saw my own story from that point of view. That’s the power of music! I am very happy and feel blessed that we have someone to provide the opening theme who was able to read more into the original manga than its own creator. I really love this song, so I am looking forward to let the fans hear it as well.’
