QUEEN BEE to release new song "Hoshi," featured as ending theme for anime "Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia"
QUEEN BEE's new song "Hoshi" has been selected as the ending theme for the anime "Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia," which will begin broadcasting on TV Asahi's "IMAnimation" block on July 4.
Based on the popular manga by Tomato Soup, "Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia" is a historical anime set in 13th-century Mongolia. The original manga won first place in the female readers category of "Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2023," ranked in the "Manga Taisho" for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024, and won the Grand Prize in the comic category at the 55th Japan Cartoonists Association Award. The anime production is handled by Science SARU, known for works such as "DAN DA DAN," "The Heike Story," "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!," and the film "INU-OH," in which QUEEN BEE's Avu-chan (Vo) appeared as a voice actor.
Regarding the ending theme "Hoshi," Avu-chan commented, "A spirit of revenge. The feelings held by the protagonist, who continues to stand alone amidst the turbulent era depicted in the world of the work. I felt the stars in that sheer enormity. I hope you enjoy it as it somehow seeps into you!" In addition, original author Tomato Soup shared her thoughts on the song, saying, "It feels as if listening to their story told under a tent reached on a starry night. This song, which speaks to us saying 'Don't forget,' is filled with sadness yet imbued with strength. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful song."
An advance digital release of "Hoshi" will start on July 5, followed by a CD single release on Aug. 5. In addition to the title track, the CD single will include a new song titled "Suspense" as a B-side. It will be released in two editions: a complete limited edition featuring a photobook and a Blu-ray containing live footage from this year's hall tour "PERSONAL DISTANCE," and a limited time edition featuring an anime-illustrated paper jacket. The jacket design for the single and QUEEN BEE's new artist photograph have also been revealed.
