The 2.5D talent group 'SIXFONIA' announced on April 1, 2026 (April Fools' Day) that they would 'be in charge of the ending theme for a certain anime' and released its MV. At first glance, this announcement seemed to suggest a major tie-up, but it was actually a self-produced video project by SIXFONIA. Packed with the group's signature playful spirit, this April Fools' project quickly became a hot topic on social media.
This year's SIXFONIA April Fools' started with a sudden post on their official X account announcing, 'SIXFONIA will perform the ED for a certain anime.' The electrifying, unannounced reveal instantly sparked voices of surprise and expectation across social media. Following this, the music video for their original song 'Kyomo Bokura wa Aruiteku' (Today We Walk On Again) was released. The video is structured to evoke an anime ending sequence and features 'Fonimaru', animal characters modeled after the SIXFONIA members, making their first public appearance here. The soft, warm track combined with scenes that look like slices of everyday life creates an immersive experience that feels exactly like an 'ED for a real anime.'
