It has been revealed that the creditless ending video for the TV anime "From Bureaucrat to Villainess," based on the manga by Michio Kamiyama currently being serialized in "Monthly Young King Ours GH" (Shonen Gahosha), has been viewed over one million times in the eight days since it was released on YouTube on January 9th. The ending theme features a cover of actor Matsudaira Ken's signature song "Matsuken Samba II," performed by Tondenbayashi Kenzaburo, played by Kazuhiko Inoue, and Grace Auvergne, played by M.A.O, and has also become a hot topic. To commemorate the one million views, visuals depicting Grace and Kenzaburo have also been released.
Inoue commented, "Wow, it's really amazing. I'm surprised! I love the story from the beginning, so I'm glad that everyone enjoyed it. On top of that, I even got to sing the Matsuken samba, which is fantastic! I look forward to your continued support. Orej! (Thank you)."
M.A.O said, "I'm very happy that so many people checked out "Matsuken Samba II," which I sang together with Kenzaburo and Grace! Not only did the number of views increase, but seeing the reactions and thoughts in the comments section once again reminded me of the power of a song that is still loved in the Reiwa era. I think it's a wonderful video that you'll want to listen to over and over again, so I hope you continue to enjoy it along with the anime!!"
The series is a comedy with the themes of older men, reincarnation in another world, and villainous ladies. The story is about a 52-year-old earnest civil servant, Tondenbayashi Kenzaburou, who is involved in a traffic accident and reincarnated as Grace Auverne, a villainous lady in the world of the otome game "Magical School Love & Beast". Kenzaburou decides to act as a villainous lady, but his "elegant cheat" ability, which automatically transforms his parental comments and commonplace behavior into elegant ones, is activated, and he unintentionally ends up setting up flags with the handsome men who are the targets of the game. The series is currently airing every Thursday at 12:26 a.m. on MBS/TBS's late-night anime slot "Super Animeism TURBO".
