It has been revealed that Endo Masaaki will be singing the opening theme " Kinnikuman Hero" for Season 2 of the new TV anime series " Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin Arc " based on the popular fighting manga Kinnikuman . The song is said to express the worldview of Kinnikuman and the heat of the power of friendship. It has also been revealed that Kinnikuman , played by Mamoru Miyano , will be in charge of the ending theme following Season 1. The song is titled "29 (Niku)" and is said to be a comical and light-hearted piece.
Endo commented, " Kinnikuman began serialization when I was in elementary school. I have fond memories of looking forward to watching it every week...I'm more than happy to be able to sing together with everyone who is looking forward to the broadcast of Season 2 of this historic Kinnikuman! Speaking of Kinnikuman songs, the person who comes to mind is Kushida Akira, also known as Kussy, and I hope to continue to liven up the excitement of the series with my songs until Kussy can make a full return! Kussy! Go Fight!"
"This is the first time I've heard a song by APAZZI. It's amazing! It's incredible! What's amazing is that APAZZI has such a strong love for Kinnikuman lol. I sang with all my might in an emergency, with the determination to match that power. I can't wait for everyone to hear it. Look forward to it! Having been involved with Kussy, APAZZI, and all the staff, I've come to realise that everyone's love for Kinnikuman is incredible! I really feel that it is precisely because the set was so passionate and overflowing with love that it is such a wonderful work. It may be presumptuous, but I would like to sing with all my might from now on, with great, passionate love, so that I can be recognised as a new member of the Kinnikuman family! Thank you very much!"
Miyano commented, "I am very honored to be able to sing the ending theme for Season 2. Following "Choujin," I've been working with APAZZI on this production. Last time, we had many meetings on site, searching for the answer to how to express "Choujin." Based on that, for "29 (Niku)," we thoroughly confirmed the direction beforehand, and then expanded on the appeal during recording, which was a pretty extravagant production method! So, honestly, I think the quality is amazing (laughs). Or rather, in a sense, I think I've found a way of expression that "only I can do," so I hope you'll look forward to it! As for the song, it has a festival-like sound that makes you want to sing along with everyone, so I hope you'll join in the excitement!"
"The Perfect Origin Arc" is a popular sequel to "The Battle for the Throne on Planet Kinnikuman," and depicts the invasion of a new threat, the Perfect and Infinite Armies, and a three-way battle with the Justice Chojins and the Devil Chojins.
