Mushoku Tensei Season 2 Cour 2 Reveals Theme Song Artists

The official website of  Mushoku Tensei revealed the opening and ending theme song artists for season 2 cour 2 of the anime on Feb 28, 2024.

Japanese rock band Hitorie will perform the opening theme song “On The Frontline,” while singer-songwriter Yuko Oohara will perform the ending theme song “Mamoritai Mono”. 

Both Hitorie and Ohara expressed their excitement on their involvement in the anime. Checkout their comments below:

Hitorie:

We are very honored to have our song “On The Frontline” chosen as the opening theme song for the second season of the TV anime “Mushoku Tensei”. This song is about the helplessness of Rudeus Greyrat before he became Rudeus, his strong determination not to repeat that in this life, the battlefront he goes to in order to carry out that determination, and the fundamental weakness that still lies dormant within him that he sometimes has to face. It’s a song that reflects on various aspects of ourselves, such as what we really need to protect and why we need to be strong. As a result we ended up with a very emotionally intense song. This year marks the 10th anniversary of our major debut, and we hope that the band sound that we have honed on the front lines of our live stages will be the catalyst that will further accelerate this work.

Yuko Ohara:

I am really happy to be able to continue to be in charge of the ending theme song for the second cour of “Mushoku Tensei II”. I feel like the melody and lyrics have become more straightforward as the story progresses from the first season to the second season. The arrangement for the second season was once again done by MANYO, and the band members remain the same, so we will deliver the same familiar sound. I am also looking forward to the anime broadcast just like all of you viewers!
