The upcoming anime adaptation of The Catcher in the Ballpark! has revealed lots of cast additions over the last few weeks. Today, though, we’re getting a different sort of announcement: an opening theme, coming to us from seven-member music and vocal group GENIC.The group, a follow-up to Avex’s 12-member a-genic PROJECT, previously performed the ending theme for the final season of the new Fruits Basket adaptation. Their opening theme for The Catcher in the Ballpark! will be titled “Hurray!!”
Junichi Kitamura (Fluffy Paradise) directs The Catcher in the Ballpark! anime at studio EMT Squared, with series composition by Shigeru Murakoshi (I Parry Everything), character designs by Fumio Iida and music by MONACA (Shangri-La Frontier). The series is based on the manga by Tatsuro Suga.The anime’s official website describes the story (translated):
“Am I your type, Onii-san~?”
One day at a baseball stadium, a gyaru selling beer approaches!? But she’s actually a super innocent and kind-hearted girl…♡
The setting is a pro-league baseball stadium! Many people gather there every day to work and laugh together, and human drama is born there — it’s almost like a town!
So, why not become a “resident” of that town?!
A romantic-comedy full of laughs and tears, dedicated to all those involved in professional baseball!
