Anticipation is building towards the premiere of My Hero Academia Season 7 and this week, the anime revealed the performers of the new ending theme.
Musical group Omoinotake has been revealed as the group responsible for the new theme, which is entitled “Tsubomi” (“Flower Bud”).
Omoinotake is a Japanese rock band that formed in 2012. The members consist of Fujii Leo (vocals and keyboards), Fukushima Tomoaki (base and chorus) and Hiroyuki Tomita (drums and chorus).
Omoinotake has released music for several anime shows including "Shiawase" from Horimiya: Piece, "Everblue" from Blue Period, and "Moratorium" from Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai.
It was previously revealed that the My Hero Academia Season 7 Opening Theme is performed by TK from Ling tosite sigure, which can be heard in the trailer below.
My Hero Academia Season 7 is set to premiere on May 4, 2024 in Japan. The series will stream weekly on Crucnhyroll in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS, with new episodes airing at 2:30 a.m. PT / 5:30 a.m.
The upcoming seventh season is shaping up to be the most intense arc yet in the series. Season 7 follows the story of the original manga series, covering the "Star and Stripe," "U.A. Traitor," and the first parts of the "Final War" arc. Star and Stripe, America's #1 Pro Hero, arrives to fight Tomura Shigaraki by All Might's request, while Deku's confrontation with Shigaraki escalates.
Season 7 will see Kenji Nagasaki, the series director, take on the role of Chief Director, while Naomi Nakayama helms the director's position at studio BONES. Yusuke Kuroda will continue handling series composition and scripts. Yoshihiko Umakoshi and Hitomi Odashima will craft character designs, while Yuki Hayashi will compose the music.
While we've still got a few more weeks until the debut of My Hero Academia Season 7, fans can get all caught up with the series through a batch of recap episodes releasing weekly as part of My Hero Academia: Memories. This mini-series of sorts features four special episodes that recap the "epic moments of the series thus far" and will lead into the new season.
The first episode in Memories was released on April 6, with the second released today, April 13. The final two episodes will air on April 20 and April 27. If you're looking to watch the entire series, it can be found on Crunchyroll.
Looking even further ahead, My Hero Academia The Movie: You're Next, the anime's fourth feature film, will debut in Japan on August 2, 2024. There's no North American release date yet, but one should be announced.
