fhana comment
Thank you very much for letting me sing the opening theme song for the TV anime “Sister-in-law Life”.
“Angels’ Song” was carefully created with the aim of creating a song that would quietly blend into the world of “Sister-in-Law Life” and the lives of everyone who listens to it. The songs incorporate the casual and precious relationships we have with family, friends, lovers, and people around us, as well as the miracles and hopes that occur in ordinary moments in everyday life. I hope that this song will be close to each person’s heart. (fhana)
Furthermore, this song will be released as a digital single from July 4th (Thursday), the first broadcast date of the anime.
