This time, I, Takanori Nishikawa as T.M. Revolution has been fortunate enough to be offered the opportunity to sing the opening theme song for this series. I knew that as far as there is the word “Liberator” in the title, I needed to “do something revolutionary to live up to the themes of this series,” so hence this kind of collaboration was born. It was definitely an honor to be given this opportunity to work with Ms. Mizuki, and I believe that we were able to create something that nicely complements the story. I hope you like it.

Nana Mizuki

Mizuki was born in Niihama City of Ehime Prefecture on January 21, 1980. While she performed as voice-actress in many popular anime series, narrated and dubbed foreign films and actively worked as a radio personality, on December of 2000, Mizuki also debuted as a singer. Since then, Mizuki has performed for NHK’s Kohaku Uta Gassen for 4 consecutive years and is considered by many media outlets as the top-runner of the voice-acting industry.

Mizuki’s amazing voice and excellent performances on the stage have been well recognized. She has had numerous successful large-scale solo concerts including her 2 day concert event where 80,000 fans filled the Tokyo Dome. On December 12, 2012, Mizuki released her new album, ROCKBOUND NEIGHBORS, which placed #2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart. With her singles, Mizuki has placed in the top 3 for 11 consecutive titles. She will be beginning her summer tour on July 7th 2013 with a concert at the Ehime Prefecture Budokan.

This time, I, Nana Mizuki have been given the opportunity to work alongside T.M. Revolution to sing the opening theme song for this title. I am very excited and cannot wait to bring to all of the fans this very hyper and cool song. I am really looking forward to what kind of animation this song will be featured with and I personally would like to work very hard to promote this title.
