It has been revealed that the four-member rock band "Aooo" will be in charge of the ending theme "Magic is Spice" for the TV anime "Witch Watch," based on the popular manga by Kenta Shinohara, which is currently being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha). A PV using the song has been released on YouTube, depicting young versions of Nico Wakatsuki and Morihito Otogi.
Aooo commented, "Magic is not something you use just for yourself, but for the benefit of others. I created 'Magic is Spice' with the gentle, comforting feeling of 'Witch Watch' in mind. I hope that when someone listens to this song, it makes their everyday life brighter and happier."
"Witch Watch" is a comedy manga by Shinohara, who is also known for "SKET DANCE" and "Astra Lost in Space." It began serialization in February 2021 in "Weekly Shonen Jump."
