Aiko's new song "Capsule" has been chosen as the ending theme for the upcoming TV anime Apocalypse Hotel, set to premiere in April. The opening theme will be "skirt", a track from her album Zanshin Zansho, released on August 28, 2024. With both the opening and ending themes performed by Aiko, her music will shape the atmosphere of the anime. This project is a collaboration between CyberAgent and CygamesPictures. The character designs are created by Izumi Takemoto, known for his unique touch in works like Nekome Waku Series, Teketeke My Heart, and Garden Sisters. The series composition is handled by Shigeru Murakoshi, who has worked on popular titles such as Zombie Land Saga and NINJA KAMUI. Animation production will be carried out by CygamesPictures. Expressing her excitement about providing both theme songs, Aiko commented: "I'm incredibly happy to be in charge of both the opening and ending themes! While singing 'skirt,' I wondered if robots would feel this way if they had blood running through them. And with 'Capsule,' I sang about how memories with loved ones never fade, even if the battery runs out. Together with the staff of Apocalypse Hotel, I’ll sing while believing in the owner's promise."...
