◇YOASOBI Comment
Composer Ayase
Whenever I am asked about my favorite anime work, I always answer “Bakemonogatari,” and I have such a strong attachment to the “Monogatari” series.
When it was decided that I would be in charge of the music for the latest work in the series, I was so happy and excited. I put all my heart and soul into writing the song, filling it with my love for the work and each of the characters in it. Thank you very much for your support.Vocal by ikura
I am truly honored to be involved in the latest work of the “Monogatari” series, which has been loved by many people for a long time, in the form of music. I sang the songs while carefully interpreting the feelings of the characters in this work one by one. I hope you enjoy listening to it.
On May 3 (Friday, national holiday), the PVs for “Orokamonogatari” and “Nademonogatari” from the “Off & Monster Season” will also be released.” Parts of “UNDEAD” are also used.
