"About a voyage“, Sanketsu-girl” Sayuri’s New Song Closing Theme for TV Anime Series My Hero Academia: Season 4

Single CD release confirmed for Wednesday, November 27, 2019!

With her first album Mikazuki no Kokai hitting #1 and #3 on Oricon’s daily and weekly album charts respectively, and songs such as “Furaregai Girl,” written and produced by Yojiro Noda of RADWIMPS and “Reimei,” a collaboration with MY FIRST STORY, creating buzz, 2.5D-parallel singer/songwriter “Sanketsu-girl” Sayuri has enjoyed enormous popularity with youth in their teens and twenties at the core of her fanbase.  Now her new song “About a voyage” has been confirmed as the closing theme of the 4th season of massively popular TV anime series, My Hero Academia.

My Hero Academia is based on Kohei Horikoshi’s massively popular comic series currently running in Weekly Shonen Jump and has sold a total of over 23 million copies, stirring enthusiasm at home and abroad.
The story is set in a world where approximately 80% of the people have some kind of superpower “quirk.”  Izuku Midoriya, a U.A. High School student, aspires to become a hero that can save the people and the society from accidents, disasters, and criminal/enemy “villains” who abuse their “quirks.”  Together with his classmates, Izuku unfolds the story of growth, battles, and friendship.

The fourth season of the massively popular TV anime, commonly abbreviated as Heroaca, will start Saturday, October 12, 2019 and will be aired Saturdays, 5:30pm~ on 29 YTV/NTV network stations nationwide! 
The closing theme “About a voyage” was written especially for My Hero Academia and synchronizes the world of the anime with Sayuri’s “now” and determination, generated from her own journey from her first album Mikazuki no Kokai to this day and depicting on the hope and determination towards the future where there is “still something beyond”.  This new song “About a voyage” has been confirmed for a single CD release on Wednesday, November 27!  A pre-order event will be held on Saturday, October 19, with details to be announced at a later date. 

By singing “Sanketsu-girl” Sayuri stays connected to the loneliness of the “Sanketsu” generation and continues her journey in the recurrent resonance with them.  Her hopes and determination from the past to the present, and through to the future synchronizes with the world of My Hero Academia in her new song “About a voyage,” with which she embarks on a new voyage.

Look forward to the fourth season of My Hero Academia and its closing theme that serves as the first step to contact the world of this song.

To me, Heroaca is like a lucky charm that turns my inner, little thoughts to a solid power.  I wrote “About a voyage” out of my wish to sing a song like that.  I hope you enjoy this closing theme alongside the development of the story.

Sanketsu-girl Sayuri Biography】 
2.5D-parallel singer/songwriter who strums her acoustic guitar as she sings, as  “Sanketsu-girl” (hypoxia girl)  - an icon of the “Sanketsu generation” who feel the sense of inferiority and just the same amount of superiority to their own sensibility and values that are different from others. Her unique activities in the 2D world is centered on SNS and the Web, and the 3D world is based on live performances; the artist lives in the crossover area, i.e., the 2.5D world. 


Her lyrics resonates with the emotions of people in their teens and twenties who carry the sense of smothering on a daily basis in search of the way to live their own way and their own place; her voice naturally stays present to the listeners’ hearts, tenderly embraces their loneliness and sublimates it to hope.  Thus this new-generation artist enjoys tremendous popularity mainly among people in their teens and twenties.



Sayuri made her major debut on August 26, 2015 with “Mikazuki”, the closing theme of Fuji TV’s Noitamina anime series “Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace”.  The rough-hewn beauty of the song linked strongly to the world of the anime and she won tremendous support and a hit from the start. Her singles continued to success, and the 4th single “Furaregai Girl” written and produced by RADWIMPS’ Yojiro Noda, gained great attention. Her first full-length album Mikazuki no Kokai, released May 17, 2017, debuted at #1 on Oricon’s daily album chart on the first day of release!  It also marked #3 on its weekly album chart.



The collaboration single “Dawn” with “MY FIRST STORY”, has recorded the best result ever in all of her previous singles, and on November 27, 2019, she will release her latest single “About a voyage”!
One after another, people call themselves “Sayuri manias” and resonate with her singing world and presence. You can never take your eyes off this new-dimension artist!
