by Japanese music duo YOASOBI has announced the release of their brand-new song “Adrena,” which will serve as the opening theme for the TV anime Hanazakari no Kimitachi e. The song will be released digitally on January 4, coinciding with the anime’s premiere.
At the same time, YOASOBI revealed the domestic schedule for their upcoming “YOASOBI ASIA 10-CITY DOME & STADIUM TOUR 2026–2027,” marking the first time a Japanese artist will tour 10 major domes and stadiums across Asia—a historic milestone for the J-pop industry.
“Adrena”: A New Song Written Exclusively for Hana-Kimi
“Adrena” was written specifically as the opening theme for the anime adaptation of Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, a beloved shōjo manga originally serialized in Hana to Yume from 1996 to 2004. The manga is widely known for its energetic storytelling, romantic comedy elements, and memorable characters, making it a perfect match for YOASOBI’s emotionally driven music style.
Musically, “Adrena” captures the straightforward yet clumsy emotions of first love. With an up-tempo rhythm, playful melodies, and a slightly chaotic arrangement, the song reflects the excitement, confusion, and exhilaration that come with falling in love. YOASOBI’s signature narrative songwriting once again bridges music and storytelling, making the track approachable even for listeners unfamiliar with the anime.
For beginners, “Adrena” offers an easy entry point into both YOASOBI’s music and the Hana-Kimi universe.
Jacket Artwork Inspired by the Anime
The cover artwork for “Adrena” features a brand-new illustration of the protagonist Mizuki, drawn by NAJI Yanagida of SSS by applibot. The creative team previously worked on the vinyl jacket designs for YOASOBI’s THE BOOK series.
Art direction and design were handled by Kisuke Ota, resulting in a vibrant visual that reflects the anime’s youthful energy and romantic tone. The artwork has already attracted attention online, with fans praising its fresh yet nostalgic style.

The story follows Mizuki, a girl who disguises herself as a boy to attend an all-boys school in order to support her idol.
