Message from Kaori Maeda:

 

My debut as an artist has always been a dream of mine, so I'm really happy! Actually, the managers informed me of my debut at a surprisingly good time and in a very chic manner. Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, I slowly began to realize how happy I was and felt happy even more. My heart was fluttering, "I can't wait to tell all my cheering fans about this!" Then I immediately thought, "No, no, don't get too excited, I must try hard!" I feel like I was doing a hundred faces (laugh). I will do my best to become a big artist who can proudly boast the genre "Kaori Maeda" and make as many people as possible happy!

 

In addition to my long-awaited artist debut, I sing the theme song! I am so honored, because I never thought I would have an opportunity to sing an opening theme song for an anime! The anime is really interesting, and I would be happy if I could carefully express the worldview of the TV anime "Roukin," which is filled with a positive feeling that makes you try. 

 

 

She also wrote on Twitter, "Singing has always given me strength, so I will do my best to be a person who can give courage through singing!"
