Sayuri drops music video for My Hero Academia Season 4 ending

Mega popular shonen series My Hero Academia just started its fourth season and Sayuri has dropped the music video for her song “Kokai no Uta” which is being used as the ending theme for the first half of the show’s fourth season. The theme features a super stylized video that blends both live action and animation in a very cool music video. Sadly though, it is only a minute and a half long, as it is the short version of the video. “Kokai no Uta” will be released in full on November 27 through three editions total: a standard CD-only edition, a limited edition which comes with a bonus DVD, and an anime edition which comes with its own unique DVD and cover art. The limited edition’s DVD will feature footage from Sayuri’s Mikazuki no Kokai 2017 -Yoake no Zenkoku Tour- at Shibuya TSUTAYA O-East from 2017 while the anime edition’s DVD will feature the textless ending of the anime. Pre-orders are up and will be posted below along with the short video for “Kokai no Uta” so you can check it out for yourself.
