It has been announced that the band Queen Bee will be performing the ending theme "PERSONAL" for the second season of the TV anime "Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku," based on the manga by Yuji Kaku that was serialized on Shueisha's manga app "Shonen Jump+." The third promotional video using the song has been released on YouTube. As the ending "PERSONAL" plays, the video depicts the determination and earnest wishes of each character.
Avu from "Queen Bee" commented, "The battle gradually becomes more and more brutal, and the characters are pushed to their limits both physically and mentally, leaving them completely exhausted. Even in such circumstances, the characters in the story continue to fight following their hearts and lives. I wrote a lullaby that I hope will somehow encapsulate this feeling. I hope you enjoy it!"
A video looking back on the first season, "Understanding the Anime ' Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku' in 1 Minute," has also been released on YouTube. It is narrated by Chiaki Kobayashi, who plays Gamimaru.
