Comments from the artists

Kenshi Yonezu

‘I am very happy that I can sing the new opening for My Hero Academia. Thank you so much. It was like there was as lot to learn of Izuku and the others, who run towards their dreams. I wonder how I was as a child. I thought about these kind of things a lot when I started making Peace Sign.’

Little Glee Monster

‘Hello! We are Little Glee Monster! We will be singing the ending of the series My Hero Academia. Like the character who won’t lose to anyone, we will be able to liven up the anime with our individual voices!’
