by LiSA will be performing the opening theme song “QUEEN” for the first season of the TV anime “Shangri-La Frontier,” scheduled to air on 28 MBS/TBS affiliates nationwide every Sunday at 5:00 pm5:00 pm from October 13th (Sun), and LiSA’s new artist visual and jacket visual has been released. FZMZ (pronounced “Fathoms”), who performed the opening theme for the first season, will also be involved in the lyrics for “QUEEN,” and HONNWAKA88 will be involved in the composition and arrangement (the composition was co-written with Lisa), making this a collaboration unique to “Shangri-La Frontier.”
The official PV for the second season of the TV anime “Shangri-La Frontier” has also been released, and a part of the song “QUEEN” has been revealed for the first time in the PV. “Shangri-La Frontier” is a TV anime adaptation of a comic that achieved four crowns in the history of the “Weekly Shonen Magazine” reader survey during its serialization. It has exceeded 1,000 copies in total circulation worldwide.
The setting is a slightly future world where games that use displays have become classified as retro games. In such a world, one “crappy game hunter” called Sanraku, also known as Yomuro, who has devoted his passion to clearing “crappy games” whose content has not kept up with the latest VR technology, challenges the “god game” “Shangri-La Frontier” with a total of 30 million players, in this supreme “game x fantasy” adventure story.
The first season will be broadcast from October 2011 to March 2012, and the second season will be broadcast from October 2012. The PV for the second season released this time begins with Yomuro, Rei Saiga, Towa Amane, and Kei Uoomi diving into the world of Shangri-La and logging in as Sanraku, Saiga-0, Arthur Pencilgon, and Oikatso. It shows Sanraku starting his adventure again in a new area, Pencilgon and Oikatso joining the battle, and the “Traveling Wolves” reuniting and plotting something. In addition, the opening theme, “QUEEN,” sung by Lisa, adds luster to the activities of Sanraku, Pencilgon, Oikaczo, and others who are the “eye of the storm” of Shangri-La and who attract attention with every move they make.
In addition, the appearance of Akane Akitsu and a mysterious new character is also shown, announcing that the second season, which is even more exciting and thrilling than the first season, has finally started in earnest. Comments from Lisa, FZMZ, MAQUMA, and HONNWAKA88 have also been released regarding the theme song, raising expectations for the full version of the song.
The song “QUEEN” combines the feelings of the characters in the work, who clear one stage after another and unwaveringly aim for the top, with LiSA’s fearless fight to move towards happiness on the stage of life.
The first season was broadcast on ABEMA, YouTube, and TVer. The second season of the TV anime “Shangri-La Frontier” will be broadcast nationwide on 28 MBS/TBS affiliated stations from October 13th, every Sunday at 5 pm. [Comment] I will be in charge of the opening theme for the first episode of the second season of the TV anime “Shangri-La Frontier.”
