EVERBLUE by Omoinotake has been released for download and streaming on October 13th. It is the opening theme song of the TV anime Blue Period; an anime franchise of a Japanese manga that won the Cartoon grand prize 2020.
Netflix will be releasing the anime on November 17th worldwide. Fans have been waiting for the TV animation and are excited about it.
Who is Omoinotake? How was EVERBLUE composed?
Omoinotake consists of Leo Fujii（Leo) Keyboardist/Vocalist, Tomoaki Fukushima (Emoaki) Bassist and Hironoshin Tomita（Drage）Drummer. Uniquely, there are no Guitar members.
They were classmates in junior high school and formed the band in 2012. They performed live mainly on the street at Shibuya regularly and gained popularity. Digital single Moratorium was chosen for the theme song for the tie-in theatre animation Twittering Birds Never Fly – The Clouds Gather and gained a lot of attention.
They appeared on a famous YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE for the first time, though they are from independent record labels. The song Ubugoe was released in November 2020 and was the opening theme for the TV drama on TV TOKYO Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!. They will be the next break-out artist.
Omoinotake worked so hard for many years until they finally got their major debut. So the band members have put passion into this work. The song, EVERBLUE, has a somewhat nostalgic disco sound after their hard work.
Where can I listen to the song?
The music video of ‘EVERBLUE’ has also been released on YouTube and is gaining attention. We can’t take our eyes off this band and are so excited for their future success!

Tracklist:
Hi, we are Omoinotake. We have composed the opening theme song of the TV anime Blue Period. It is an honor for us to be involved in this amazing work full of emotions, including the pain and the amazingness of creating things. To be honest, we thought that we didn’t have any particular talents at the beginning. But, we kept trying to find our way for many years. Then finally we found our place. It is the same location as in the “Blue Period,” a live performance we did on the street at Shibuya.
Doing what I love doesn’t mean that I am always having fun, the words of Yatora reminds us of how we are, and we made a song with the words split from our feeling and melody. Until today, we have continued working on our band for the last nine years, and we love music just like Yatora loves drawing. We finished creating the world of ‘EVERBLUE’ as the opening theme song of “Blue Period.” Complex, conflict, not going well when you start doing something and suffering, we put all of these feelings into this song. We hope many people put themselves into this song and think about the wishes of people who just started their challenges.
