Special 2.5D Unit Formed to Sing ED Theme for TV Anime “The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses”! OP&ED Singles Information Released!

What You Need to Know:

• The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, a romantic comedy anime that has been generating significant buzz on social media, is set to make its debut in Japan in July 2023. The ending theme song, titled “Megane-Go-Round,” will be performed by a special unit called “Masayoshi ga Megane wo Wasureta” (Masayoshi Forgot His Glasses), consisting of Masayoshi Oishi, Komura-kun, and Mie-san.
• The manga The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses depicts the relationship between Ai Mie, an absent-minded girl who constantly forgets her glasses, and Kaede Komura, a slightly awkward and timid boy. Originally started on Twitter by Koume Fujichika, the manga has garnered attention for its heart-pounding moments and the progression of the two characters’ relationship, receiving tens of thousands of likes with each update. It is truly a must-see romantic comedy that captures the excitement of falling in love.
• The newly announced ending theme song, “Megane-Go-Round,” represents a unique 2.5D collaboration between Ai Mie and Kaede Komura from the anime’s 2D world, and Masayoshi Oishi, a beloved anime song singer from our 3D realm. Written and composed by Masayoshi Oishi, “Megane-Go-Round” features the unique vocals of Komura-kun and Mie-san, capturing their innocent chemistry and sense of closeness. Masayoshi Oishi takes on the role of a storyteller, creating a merry-go-round-like, vibrant atmosphere.
• The special unit reveal video released today features an instrumental version of the song. The full version will be available later, so stay tuned!
• In addition to the aforementioned announcement, details regarding the opening and ending theme song singles have been revealed. The opening theme song, “NAME,” performed by 16-year-old high school singer Tsuzuri, will be released in two formats: an Anime Edition adorned with artwork from the anime and a Limited Tsuzuri Edition that shines the spotlight on the artist herself. The ending theme song “Megane-Go-Round” will be offered in both a Limited First Edition and a Standard Edition, featuring original artwork by Koume Fujichika. The Limited First Edition includes a special short manga titled “Masayoshi ga Megane wo Wasureta.” Both versions are set to be released on August 2.

Masayoshi Oishi comment

It’s the birth of a new 3-person unit that transcends the barriers of 2D and 3D!

The song features an interesting structure where Mie-san and Komura-kun engage in flirtatious banter, while I provide commentary like a storyteller watching over them. I’m a big fan of the original work, so it’s truly an honor to be involved in this manner!
Let’s watch over their relationship together through this song!

Kaede Komura comment (CV: Masahiro Ito)

I’m participating in the ending theme song “Megane-Go-Round” in the role of Kaede Komura. Working alongside Oishi-san is truly a dream come true!

The first time I heard the demo, I was captivated by the balance between the exquisite melody and the casual sense of everyday life. I found myself listening to it over and over.
During the recording, the process of working with Oishi-san and the music producer to create a singing voice for Komura-kun was very satisfying. I hope you’ll enjoy the song along with the anime.

Ai Mie comment (CV: Shion Wakayama)

From the moment I first listened to the demo, I was captivated by this song…! The vivid image of Oishi-san supporting Komura-kun as he interacts with Mie-san was so beautiful that I wanted to cry.

I was a little anxious before the recording because I wasn’t sure how to sing Mie-san’s part, but Oishi-san’s praise during the performance boosted my confidence.

This is truly a wonderful song packed with the world of “The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses,” so I hope you enjoy it!
