Lenny code fiction are walking the high road, having completed their second Japan tour last year including a solo show in Ebisu LIQUIDROOM, as well as playing some big festivals. This year, too, the band have been busy performing at many events cross Japan.

Now, the band have finally unveiled a new release. Make my story will hit shelves on August 22, and it’s been announced that the single will also feature as the opening theme song to the third season of the hugely popular ongoing anime series My Hero Academia.

My Hero Academia is a popular manga serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. Lenny code fiction’s song for the show is catchy feel-good track that can be said to be the band showing their true value. Its positive and courageous message is the perfect match for a show like My Hero Academia.

Below is a comment from the band’s vocalist and guitarist Wataru Katagiri regarding the track.

“It’s a manga that I read, so to be associated with it in this way truly makes me happy. Even I cried at the words ‘You’ll become a hero.’ While making the song those words made me think that I can’t go slacking off or only half-doing things precisely because they affirm what I’m doing as a musician. So I’ll be joyous if people treasure this song together with the anime.”

Make my story will debut on My Hero Academia on July 14 and the anime size version of the track will be available digitally.

In January of next year, a new opening and ending theme song for “Pazudorakurosu”, an anime broadcasted on BS Japan, has been chosen.

“Hello, I am Wataru Katagiri, the “guitarist and vocalist” from Lenny code fiction. We are honored to have such a great opportunity to create a song for the opening theme of “Pazudorakurosu”. It is also the opening theme following UVERworld, so we inherit this baton and it has become a song that we made carefully to make the anime world look even more exciting. This song includes my feelings of hoping to make all the farewells and obstacles we will be facing in the future lead to success. I hope everyone will enjoy both the song and the anime”.

Natsume Mito became popular when she started her career as a model in 2010. She also debuted as an artist/singer with the help of Yasutaka Nakata (CAPSULE). Mito is expanding her range of activities as an artist with her trademark of having short bangs.
