The BOCCHI THE ROCK! anime adaptation has become a massive hit, but so has its band! Kessoku Band, the group at the center of the series, has been wowing audiences with live shows and music releases. And now, they’ve dropped a music video for their first-ever collab song.
Titled “Boku to Sangenshoku” (“Me and Three Primary Colors”), the song was initially released on August 14 as part of the Re:Kessoku Band mini-album. It’s a collaboration with I LOHAS, Coca-Cola’s Japanese water brand. I LOHAS prides itself on both recycling its bottles and supporting water resources through forest conservation.
Check out the video, featuring footage from the series and video of the show’s real-world locations:
Singer-songwriter Ai Higuchi, who has penned lyrics for previous Kessoku Band songs, wrote the lyrics for “Boku to Sangenshoku.” Masahiro Tobinai (Girls Band Cry insert song composer and composer of BOCCHI THE ROCK! Re:Re: opening theme “Doppelganger”) wrote the music.
A collab visual between the anime band and the water brand was also released earlier this month:
The TV anime adaptation of Aki Hamaji’s four-panel manga series BOCCHI THE ROCK! aired for 12 episodes from October to December 2022. As previously reported, Crunchyroll plans to bring the two recap films to theaters in North America.
Crunchyroll describes the series:
Hitori Gotoh, “Bocchi-chan,” is a girl who’s so introverted and shy around people that she’d always start her conversations with “Ah…” During her middle school years, she started playing the guitar, wanting to join a band because she thought it could be an opportunity for even someone shy like her to also shine. But because she had no friends, she ended up practicing guitar for six hours every day all by herself. After becoming a skilled guitar player, she uploaded videos of herself playing the guitar to the internet under the name “Guitar Hero” and fantasized about performing at her school’s cultural festival concert. But not only could she not find any bandmates, before she knew it, she was in high school and still wasn’t able to make a single friend! She was really close to becoming a shut-in, but one day, Nijika Ijichi, the drummer in Kessoku Band, reached out to her. And because of that, her everyday life started to change little by little…
