Masanori Onda Releases Peacock Lyric Video for Yomi no Tsugai
Musician Masanori Onda debuted the lyric video to showcase the second-cour ending theme for Yomi no Tsugai, the dark fantasy manga series created by Hiromu Arakawa. According to production announcements, the self-cover highlights Onda’s vocal arrangement for the series, which follows protagonist Yuru as he navigates a rural village embroiled in mysterious sibling conflicts and supernatural entities known as tsugai.
The anime adaptation, produced by major animation studios, features the track during the ending credits of its second narrative block. The newly released lyric video gives fans a dedicated visual medium for the song, integrating official artwork and typography that mirrors the supernatural aesthetic of Arakawa’s source material, as reported by entertainment news outlets covering the series.
Broadcast Details and Production Background
Yomi no Tsugai airs across various television networks and streaming platforms in Japan, with international distribution managed by major anime streaming services. According to broadcast schedules, the second courtyard deepens the conflict between Yuru and his twin sister Asa, introducing new factions of exorcists and village elders.
Masanori Onda’s involvement in the soundtrack adds a distinct musical layer to the production. Self-cover projects of this nature typically allow artists to present a stripped-down or newly interpreted version of a tie-in track, giving listeners a direct focus on the lyricism and composition separate from the broadcast edit.
Fan Reception and Streaming Availability
The lyric video’s release on official streaming channels has drawn attention from followers of both Onda’s musical catalog and Hiromu Arakawa’s manga, which is serialized in Square Enix’s Monthly Shonen Gangan. According to platform updates, the video is accessible globally via official YouTube channels, allowing international viewers of the anime to access the full song outside of television broadcast blocks.
