“A band that feeds on sadness.” Three-member rock band Atarayo will provide the opening theme song to the second season of the anime series ‘The Dangers in My Heart’, which will begin broadcasting in January 2024. Their song ‘「I am...」’ was written especially for the show, and will be released as a digital single on January 8, 2024.

‘「I am...」’ is a dramatic, emotional song that will pierce your heart, with lyrics that dissect the feelings of ‘The Dangers in My Heart’ protagonist Kyotaro Ichikawa through Atarayo’s eyes, and a melody that expresses the viewpoint of a character whose lonely world is suddenly blown wide open. 

Atarayo vocalist/guitarist Hitomi commented, “The song ‘「I am...」’ presents an unvarnished look at Ichikawa’s perspective and feelings. We created a song that is shot through with the essence of Ichikawa’s personality.”

On Sunday, December 10, Atarayo performed at LINE CUBE SHIBUYA in Tokyo as part of an event titled TV Anime ‘The Dangers in My Heart’ FAN FESTA 2023~karte12.5 Bokura wa Shibuya ni Atsumatta~. At the festival, Atarayo played ‘「I am...」’ live for the very first time. On the same day, the official trailer for the second season of ‘The Dangers in My Heart’ was released, raising anticipation for the upcoming new season to a frenzy.

 Look out for the new season of ‘The Dangers in My Heart’, and keep an eye on Atarayo as they forge forever forward.
