This new song called ‘Merry-Go-Round’ is featured as the new opening theme song for the TV Anime ‘My Hero Academia’ for the second term of season 5. ‘My Hero Academia’ has been broadcasted from Saturday the 26th of June in Japan. This popular TV Anime, which has avid fans from inside and outside Japan, is based on the Manga series of the same title. ‘My Hero Academia’ is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kohei Horikoshi and has been published serially on the ‘Weekly Shonen Jump’. The popularity of the TV series has grown rapidly and this summer, ‘My Hero Academia THE MOVIE: World Heroes’ Mission’ will be released in Japan.

MWAM who composed the song commented that the members have also been a big fan of the original manga. ‘I was so pleased that I had the great opportunity of creating the opening theme song for ‘My Hero Academia’ since I truly love this manga series!’
MAN WITH A MISSION is a rock band consisting of five band members. They are the five ‘Ultimate Life Form’ who have the head of a wolf and a human body.
Their latest song consisted of a dramatic and strong sound. This song is about the frustrated and endless circulation of one’s emotion when people aim to achieve something. Like the song title ‘Merry-Go-Round’, it describes when you run passionately after trying to reach someone special which is your aim, but you don’t feel like you are achieving or getting closer at all. This new opening theme song was first heard on Saturday the 26th of June and their new PV with the footage of the new opening sequence was also released prior to the broadcasting of the theme song on TV. The digital distribution of ‘Merry-Go-Round’ starts last 17th of July.
