The official YouTube channel for Japanese R&B singer Masayuki Suzuki started streaming an anime music video for "Abunaikioku" ("Dangerous Memories"), the opening theme song for the upcoming Kaguya-sama: Love Is War anime special, subtitled "Otona e no Kaidan" ("The Stairway to Adulthood"). This is a duet song featuring voice actor Aoi Koga, who voices Kaguya Shinomiya in the Kaguya-sama: Love Is War anime series. The video is titled "Memories Music Video" and is edited with anime footage to trace the "memories" of the series. Masayuki Szuzuki feat. Aoi Koga "Abunaikioku" Memories Music Video Masayuki Suzuki Comment from Masayuki Suzuki: It's been about three years since I last returned — I'm Masayuki Suzuki, the "major newcomer in the anime song world." This marks the fifth consecutive work in the "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War" series for which I've provided the theme song since the anime began in 2019. Though I will turn seventy next year, being able to walk alongside this wonderful series like this makes me deeply appreciate the meaning of performing continuously for 45 years. My duet partner for the latest song, "Abunaikiouku," is Aoi Koga-san. While we'd met several times at events for "Kaguya-sama," this was our first time recording together. Her ability to understand and immerse herself in the world I sought to portray through this song was truly remarkable. I believe it captures the new romantic dynamics between the two protagonists after three years. First, listen to this song and let's look forward to the new romantic battle of wits airing at the end of the year together. Aoi Koga Comment from Aoi Koga: Masayuki Suzuki-san has supported and colored this "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War" series as its opening theme song performer from Season 1 until now, walking alongside us. I never imagined I'd get to sing the opening with him this time! I'm still trembling all over. It is a tremendous honor and a great joy, and precisely because it is the opening song for the series that is so special to me, various emotions are swirling inside me. "Abunaikioku" — recording it was incredibly nerve-wracking, but I also kept in mind the subtitle of this episode, "Stairway to Adulthood." While reflecting on Kaguya and the others' journey so far, I poured my absolute heart and soul into it. I'd be thrilled if you could listen to this song many times and expand Kaguya-sama's world. Thank you! "Abunaikioku" released digitally on December 10, ranking #41in Oricon's weekly digital single charts .
