HANABIE. have released their new single, ‘Tasty Survivor,’ the opening theme song for the anime, ‘Momentary Lily’. This is their first anime tie-in song and it reflects the world and characters of Momentary Lily while capturing the essence of the band’s life with the song available to stream now.
When asked about the inspiration behind the song, vocalist Yukina said: “This is our very first tie-in with an anime and we wrote this track specifically for it. We hope this song becomes a source of energy for everyone living their lives to the fullest all over the world.”
“For our first-ever anime tie-in we focused on blending the world of Momentary Lily with HANABIE.’s unique style. The result is a track that’s bold and straight-forward yet carries a touch of fragility.”
Vocalist and guitarist Matsuri
“We expressed the story of the girls in the anime in true HANABIE. style: it’s pop, fast-paced, and features an incredibly catchy chorus that perfectly matches the battle scenes.”
Bassist Hetts
“While keeping the anime in mind, we also made sure to stay true to HANABIE.’s signature style. One of the key highlights in the drums is right before the first chorus, a section where the kick drum is hit eight times in a row.”
Drummer Chika
