Tomica & Tom Anime Shorts' 2nd Season Starts July 5, Song by May J.
The Tomica & Tom anime shorts are preparing to meet audiences with their second season on July 5. This charming production, born from the combination of Takara Tomy's iconic die-cast toy vehicles and the picture books of children's book author and illustrator Tsumupapa, invites young viewers once again to a fun adventure with new episodes.
The series, whose first season aired last year, stood out with its short format. Each episode lasting a few minutes, Tomica & Tom primarily targets the preschool age group. The story focuses on the friendship between a little boy named Tom and his favorite Tomica vehicle, and the small adventures they experience in daily life. The production's visual style brings Tsumupapa's soft and colorful illustrations into CG animation, offering a familiar world to both book readers and toy collectors.
One of the most notable new features of the new season is the opening song. Famous singer May J. has recorded a special track for this season. The song, energized by May J.'s powerful vocals in both pop and R&B styles, complements the series' energetic atmosphere. Although the song title and full version have not yet been announced, fans are already excited. The series, a fruit of the collaboration between Takara Tomy and Tsumupapa, has also boosted sales of Tomica toys in Japan.
The second season of Tomica & Tom will air with new episodes every week starting July 5. Although the streaming platform and number of episodes have not yet been confirmed, it is expected that the second season will follow a similar distribution strategy as the first. The anime continues to be a delightful option especially for families with children and nostalgic Tomica collectors. The countdown has begun to see what adventures await Tom and his vehicle in the new season.
