Ending Song and Artist Announced for Red River Anime
The Red River anime is upon us with another exciting update. It has been announced that Miisha Shimizu will perform the ending theme song 'Reunion'. This news carries great significance, especially for fans who have been following the series since the 1990s.
The manga of the same name by Chie Shinohara was first serialized in Shogakukan's Margaret magazine in 1995 and ran until 2002. The story depicted the epic love between Kail, a prince of the Hittite Empire in ancient Anatolia, and Yuuri, who comes from the modern world. The manga reached millions of readers worldwide with its blend of historical and romantic elements. The anime adaptation was officially announced in 2025 after years of anticipation.
The newly announced ending song 'Reunion' will be performed by Miisha Shimizu. Shimizu is a vocalist who has previously worked on titles such as 'Kimi no Na wa' and 'Violet Evergarden'. The title 'Reunion' can be interpreted as a reference both to the story of Yuuri and Kail and to the series being brought back into the spotlight after many years. There is no information yet about the opening theme, but a new announcement may come in the coming weeks.
The release date of the anime has not been finalized, but we can say that the production team is progressing slowly but steadily. This adaptation of Red River aims to attract not only longtime readers but also a new generation of anime viewers. Among the biggest expectations are that the series remains faithful to the 14th century BC Hittite culture depicted in the manga and maintains the depth of its characters. We will continue to follow the developments.
