It has taken ten years and fans of “Soukyuu no Fafner” can rejoice because there is now a second season to this mecha space opera. Season two is titled “Soukyuu no Fafner: EXODUS” and it began broadcast in Japan on 10th Jan 2015.
The 26 episode “Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor” was first broadcasted in Jul 2004, after which a television special titled “Soukyuu no Fafner: Right of Left” was broadcasted. Five years later, in 2010, the film version “Soukyuu no Fafner: Heaven and Earth” was also screened in Japan. The second season has been set two years after the first season and characters, who were introduced in the film are also featured in the second season.
Anisong artiste angela have sung numerous theme songs and insert songs for the Fafner franchise. So it came as no surprise to fans when it was announced last year that they will also be singing the main theme song for the latest season of the anime series.
Although this short version of the PV only showcases 1:30 minutes of the song, “Exist” has all the hallmarks of another angela hit in the making. The song opens with a strong beat interspersed with some nicely placed distortion, atsuko‘s powerful vocals and KATSU‘s exuberant arrangement is likely to be a hit with fans of angela and Fafner.
Some of angela’s most popular and recognisable songs are from the Fafner series. “Shangri-La”, the theme song for the first season of the anime series is a song that they have sung at most, if not all, their lives. When angela attended the Anime Festival Asia 2014 last December, they made a surprise appearance during the Fafner: EXODUS stage event. And as atsuko exited the stage with KATSU, she sang the opening lines of “Shangri-La” a cappella which drew appreciative and loud cheers from excited fans who were pleasantly surprised with the little gift from atsuko.
The CD single for “Exist” is schedules for a release on 11 Feb 2015. Aside from the anime edition, there will also be a Limited Edition comes with an additional Blu-ray disc which will contain the full MV. A coupling song titled “anya kouro” will also be included in the CD on both editions.
angela will also be releasing a “Sokyuu no Fafner – complete best album”. This album will contain all the songs that angela had sung for the Fafner series. Both the CD single and the compilation album will be released on the same day.
“Exist” will kickstart a busy 2015 for anglea. Next up for the duo is the new theme song for the theatrical version of “Knights of Sidonia”. That song is scheduled for a March release. angela also plans to release a new album on the 20th May and will begin their live tour in July which would include stops in Fukuoka, Aichi, Osaka, Tokyo and overseas performances in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
