A year since the release of “Fallen”, the ending theme for the popular TV anime series, ‘PSYCHO-PASS 2’.
EGOIST’s 6th single has been released worldwide with another major anime tie-in!
The newly released song has been chosen to be the main theme for the animated trilogy movie ‘Project Itoh’, which is scheduled to be released in 2016, with the cover illustration created specially by redjuice!
‘Project Itoh’ is three films written by Keikaku (Project) Itoh, who died in 2009 at the age of 34.
His original novels, ‘Gyakusatu Kikan (Genocidal Organ)’, ‘Harmony’, and ‘Shikabane no Teikoku (Empire of Corpses)’
(which Itoh had written 30 foreword pages before he died, and was passed onto his colleague and the Akutagawa Prize winner, Toh Enjoh to be finished and published)
are the three works that were adapted into animated feature films, to be released in 2016.
