Comments from the theme song artists
[Opening Theme: – Shintenchi Kaibyaku Shudan – Zigzag] When the idea for this came up, I wanted this to be the band because there’s no other band that fits this worldview! So when it was decided, I was so happy I was shaking.
I wrote this song with the image of Nube’s coolness and with the theme of universal kindness and courage. I have a special attachment to the opening song at that time, and I playfully incorporated some of its elements☆ [Ending Theme: Chilli Beans.] The first image that came to my mind was the atmosphere of going home from school in the evening.
After watching the anime, I was aware of the teacher’s strong side in protecting his students in terms of sound. The lyrics depict the pure feelings of trusting a strong teacher from the student’s perspective! This song is also new for Chilli Beans. I hope that the ending will fit the broad and imposing worldview of the anime “Hell Teacher Nube”! It will make people a little more positive about the promise to see each other again tomorrow!
