The anime is set to premiere in Japan on July 7, 2024.
“This is the first anime theme song that I was involved in writing and composing!” said Da-iCE member Hayate Wada. “I am very excited that it is for my favorite anime series, FAIRY TAIL, and that it is for 100 Years Quest! I think I have created a fast-paced, energetic, and hot song while incorporating the colors of both FAIRY TAIL and Da-iCE in my own way. I hope you enjoy it along with the anime. I can’t wait to see it! I’m too excited!”
