Let's Go Kaikigumi Anime Announces New Trailer, Opening Song, and Kana Hanazawa
The countdown has begun for the Let's Go Kaikigumi anime! With a new trailer released on June 20, the production team announced that the opening song will be performed by idol group Sweet Steady and that famous voice actress Kana Hanazawa has joined the cast. The anime will premiere on July 5.
The trailer features the first glimpses of the main characters' cheerful adventures, while Sweet Steady's energetic opening track has heightened excitement. Kana Hanazawa will voice a mysterious character – though her exact role has not yet been revealed, fans are eagerly anticipating which character this legendary voice will bring to life. Hanazawa has previously voiced unforgettable characters such as Mayuri Shiina in Steins;Gate and Chitoge Kirisaki in Nisekoi.
Let's Go Kaikigumi is not a manga adaptation but rather an original project, which stands out. The story follows the adventures of a group called 'Kaikigumi' composed of colorful characters. Previously released teaser images and character designs indicate the production is visually ambitious. The studio responsible for the series has not been officially announced yet, but the animation quality in the trailer has left a positive impression.
This announcement came as a big surprise, especially for J-pop fans and Kana Hanazawa enthusiasts. It is said that Sweet Steady's opening song, specially prepared for this project, perfectly reflects the anime's cheerful atmosphere. Fans commenting on the trailer expressed their excitement with phrases like "This cast is a bomb!" and "I can't wait for July."
As the anime's release date approaches, more character reveals, a second trailer, and perhaps a promotional event are expected in the coming days. Let's Go Kaikigumi will air in Japan on July 5. No announcement has been made regarding international streaming platforms yet, but following similar productions, it is likely to be available on platforms such as Crunchyroll or Netflix. Stay tuned!
