Not so long ago, we wrote about Studio Pierrot’s upcoming anime Karasu wa Aruji o Erabanai, whose second official trailer revealed the Opening Song of the series, “poi” by Saucy Dog, to the fans of the series. Now, only a couple of weeks before the premiere, the producers have revealed that the song “Tokoshie” by Akiko Shikata, a well-known Japanese singer who has earlier contributed to the Umineko no Naku Koro ni series, will be the series’ official ending theme. This has been confirmed via X (formerly Twitter):

Akiko Shikata’s specific voice and performing style will absolutely fit the overall style of the Karasu wa Aruji o Erabanai anime series, which will – as we have also found out – consist of a total of 20 episodes.

Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai (“A Crow Doesn't Choose Its Master”), an upcoming TV anime based on the second novel in the Yatagarasu fantasy novel series, has revealed that singer / songwriter / composer Akiko Shikata performs the ending theme song for the series, which is entitled “Tokoshie” (“Eternity”). The series begings broadcasting in Japan on April 6, 2024. The original Yatagarasu novels are written by Chisato Abe and published in Japan by Bungeishuju under their Bunshun Bunko imprint. A manga adaptation of the first novel with artwork by Natsumi Matsuzaki is also available from Kodansha. Yoshiaki Kyogoku directs the TV anime adaptation at animation studio Pierrot. Yukiko Yamamuro provides the series composition, Takumo Norita provides the character designs, Eishi Segawa provides the music, and Yuji Tange provides the sound direction.
