■Comments from FLOW

Anime Shibari Returns was a live performance that we definitely want to carry out to appreciate fans around the world who love our songs through anime works. The concert was held just before the coronavirus outbreak in February. The staff and voice actors from each anime work cooperated beyond the boundaries of different works and together we made a miracle night like no one else had ever made. I am glad that we can share this experience with people all over the world through Funimation.

For now, we cannot meet you directly, but we’ll definitely perform live in front of you guys again. Please look forward to that time and enjoy Anime Shibari Returns! The highlight is from the beginning to the end, so rock out!
