Chiikawa’s magical girl spin-off releases new song and music video
A new, special music video has been released for “Magical Chiikawa,” the popular magical-girl-themed spin-off of the hit Chiikawa series.
The music video is a collaboration with the popular Japanese artist, yama.
The song, titled “Magical Syndrome,” was written exclusively for this project.
yama is a famous artist known for creating numerous hit songs, including the ending theme “Shikisai” for the TV anime SPY x FAMILY and the opening theme “slash” for Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.
The new track is described as a “magical” song that is bright and pop-inspired, yet also contains a slight feeling of sadness.
The animation for the music video was produced by the up-and-coming studio, ENISHIYA, which is known for its recent work on the anime adaptation of Tacopy’s Original Sin.
The video itself features fast-paced and dynamic animation, with the aim of achieving a new style of animated expression for the Chiikawa franchise.
The music video’s staff includes a team of well-known anime veterans.
The director is Yuta Tanaka, who is famous for his work on the Precure series.
The character designs were handled by Hiroyuki Saida, known for his work on Revue Starlight and Cardfight!! Vanguard overDress.
To celebrate the music video’s release, the original Chiikawa creator, Nagano, has also posted a special celebratory illustration.
The song “Magical Syndrome” is scheduled to be released on various digital music services on Wednesday, the 22nd of October, at 12:00 AM JST.
