The staff of Netflix anime series 7SEEDS has revealed that voice actress Mone Kamishiraishi is set to perform the opening theme song of the series’ upcoming season 2. The song, entitled “From the Seeds”, was composed by rock band GLIM SPANKY. Kamishiraishi is best known for voicing Mitsuha Miyamizu from Makoto Shinkai’s popular anime film Your Name.

The ending theme song, entitled “Synchro”, will be performed by rock band Cider Girl.

The first season’s premiere last year was delayed from April to June due to production delays. The second season is set for a release sometime this 2020.

7SEEDS is produced by GONZO and directed by Yukio Takahashi (Dog & Scissors). Series composition is handled by Touko Machida (The IDOLM@STER, Chaika the Coffin Princess, Harukana Receive), while Youko Satou (Dog & Scissors, Saiyuki Reload Blast, Kakuriyo – Bread and Breakfast for Spirits) will be handling character design.

The anime is described by Netflix as such:

“In the immediate future, a giant meteorite has collided with earth. All living organisms, including mankind, have been wiped off the face of the planet. The government, who had foreseen this outcome, took measures to counter the worst-case scenario called Project 7SEEDS, in which five sets of seven young men and women were carefully selected and placed into teams. Each participant sought ways to survive on a deserted island.”

7SEEDS was first launched as a manga series by Yumi Tamura in 2001 in Bessatsu Shoujo Comic. It eventually moved to the Monthly Flowers magazine until the series’ end on May 2017. Tamura’s manga series released a total of 35 tankobon volumes, with the final one shipped last August 2017. The 7SEEDS manga series won the Shoujo category in the 52nd Annual Shogakukan Manga Awards in 2007, and just this April was nominated in the Comic category in the 49th Seiun Awards.
