Ao Ashi Season 2 is Coming: New Visual and Theme Songs Announced
Ao Ashi, one of the productions that reflects the tactical depth of the football world and the struggle of young talents in the most realistic way, has broken its long silence. The first official details for the series' highly anticipated second season have finally been shared. According to the announcement, the main visual prepared for the first cour of the new season has been presented to fans, and the artists who will perform the opening and closing songs that will set the atmosphere of the series have been confirmed.
The opening song of the new season will be performed by the famous rock band 10-FEET, who recently topped the charts with their track "Dai Zero Kan" for the The First Slam Dunk movie. The ending song has been entrusted to the powerful voice Higuchi Ai, who created the unforgettable "Akuma no Ko" for Attack on Titan. The inclusion of these two major names in the project signals that the emotional depth and energy in the new season of Ao Ashi will be at the highest level.
Written by Yūgo Kobayashi and published in Weekly Big Comic Spirits magazine since 2015, Ao Ashi has secured a solid place among modern sports manga by selling over 20 million copies worldwide. The series, whose first season was brought to the screen by the Production I.G studio in 2022, follows the challenging development process of our main character Ashito Aoi from Ehime to Tokyo and his time at the Tokyo City Esperion FC youth academy. The series received full marks from viewers not only for its on-field action but also for its tactical analysis of modern football and the psychological processes of young players.
In the new season, the story is expected to focus on Ashito's development in the defensive line and the Esperion youth team's struggle against higher-level opponents. Although a specific release date has not yet been given, these shared visual and music details indicate that production is gaining momentum. For football fans and anime enthusiasts, Ao Ashi is preparing to bring that pure sense of competition offered by the sports genre back to the screens. With the first trailer to be released in the coming days, it is expected that our return date to the pitch will also be clarified.
