"We are ASH DA HERO, and and we’ll be performing the opening theme song for Season 2 of the TV anime Wistoria: Wand and Sword!
Since we were already huge fans of the original manga, we are incredibly honored and happy to be entrusted with this. Season 2 is full of shocking developments. We wrote 'BELIEVERS' as a cheer for Will and the gang, infused with our love for the series.
I hope this song becomes a 'single stroke of courage' for you as well.
Thank you!"

Ending Theme: Shiyui – "Reachlight"

■ Profile
On January 11, 2021, Shiyui launched her presence on Twitter, YouTube, and Niconico, consistently posting "Utattemita" (cover) videos focused on the internet music scene. To date, she has released 70 videos. A multi-talented creator, she also produces digital illustrations shared on pixiv and often features her own original artwork in her music videos to match the song's atmosphere. Every Monday, she hosts live streaming sessions on TwitCasting, centered around singing and playing the acoustic guitar.

In the summer of 2021, she participated in a public audition for vocalists held by a popular Vocaloid producer on MECRE—a platform where creators can freely find partners for collaboration. She was selected as the featured vocalist for jon-YAKITORY’s track "ONI," which surpassed 1 million views within just one month of its release. Following the high acclaim of this collaboration, Shiyui released her first original EP, "Shisou" via INCS toenter in July 2022. The EP gained immediate traction among early-adopter internet music fans, featuring exclusive tracks written by a star-studded lineup of creators including jon-YAKITORY ("Shikabanese"), Hifumi ("Hana ga Ochita node,"), Hiiragi Magnetite ("Marshall Maximizer"), and R Sound Design ("Teikoku Shoujo").

In November 2022, she made her major debut under Sony Music Labels with the song "Kimi yo Kedakaku are" (produced by ryo from supercell), which served as the ending theme for the anime series "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury."

■ Message from the artist
"I am Shiyui, and I am honored to be performing the ending theme song for the second season of the Wistoria: Wand and Sword anime series

For this track, titled "Reachlight," I had the pleasure of working with Atsu Mizuno for the lyrics and Yuki No Ito for the music.

In this story, a boy who cannot use magic discovered a different kind of magic called "courage." His unwavering determination was as straight and true as a single blade—a sword meant to cut through everything in his path.

During recording, I focused on how my voice could maintain a sense of tension throughout the four-minute journey of a 'coward' finding their voice and shouting their resolve. Touching the strength of these words felt like touching magic itself. I felt that we can weave great magic with our words using our throats as our swords.

I would be delighted if you listen to this song time and time again—a song for those reaching out their hands toward the light."

Hype from the Front Lines: Comments from the Lead Cast!

Kohei Amasaki (Will Serfort)

"Season 2 is finally starting!!!
I’ve been waiting for this day and giving it my all in the recording booth.
I’m so excited for everyone to see the incredible action scenes, beautiful animation, and the heated story once again.
Please continue to cheer them on. Look forward to the broadcast!"

Akira Sekine (Elfaria Albis Serfort)

"I’m Akiyora Sekine, returning as the voice of Elfaria!
The journey I’ve been looking forward to is beginning once more.
Will Elfaria finally be able to reunite with Will?
I’m putting my heart into this performance, wishing for the two of them to be smiling together.
Thank you all for your support!"

Satomi Amano (Colette Loire)

"Satomi Amano here, playing Colette!
Season 1 ended on such a cliffhanger after that massive battle. I’ve been dying for Season 2 ever since!
I love the sense of speed in Wistoria’s combat scenes, so seeing Will and the others in motion again is a dream.
I wonder if we’ll get to see more of Colette’s cute expressions and gestures this time...!"

Masaaki Mizunaka (Sion Ulster)

"Personally, I’ve been really looking forward to Season 2. When we got back to the studio, the sheer intensity of the recording made me think, 'This is exactly what Wistoria is about!'
Will and Sion bumped heads in Season 1, but I want you all to see how they grow this time around.
And of course, the action—the show’s trademark—is becoming something truly fierce.
I can't wait for the broadcast to start!!"

Tetsuya Kakihara (Julius Reinberg)

"Tetsuya Kakihara here, the voice of Julius.
Congrats on Season 2! Honestly, you just have to watch it.
Julius is actually going to be active this time! He is! I’ll make sure of it! (Laughs) Stay tuned!!!"

Lynn (Lihanna Owenzaus)

"The story picks up right where we left off, so it feels like a climax from the very first episode.
There are plenty of new characters with strong personalities, so look forward to that.
Lihanna still has that charming gap between being cool and being cute, and I’ll do my best to bring that to life!"

Kengo Kawanishi (Wignall Lindor)

"Congratulations on Season 2 of Wistoria: Wand and Sword!
After surviving such grueling battles, everyone has grown, and the stage is moving to a new level.
With scenes even more intense and moving than the first season, you won’t be able to take your eyes off their story.
I am giving it my all in the recording sessions, so please look forward to it!"
