A few weeks ago, I wrote on Creepy Nuts' rocking opening and ending themes for the currently running anime adaptation of the manga "Yofukashi no Uta"（よふかしのうた）which was originally created by mangaka Kotoyama（コトヤマ）. Kotoyama was also the artist behind "Dagashi Kashi"（だがしかし）whose anime had a couple of seasons of which the 2016 first season was the one that I really liked.
Seiyuu Ayana Taketatsu（竹達彩奈）who played the main know-it-all character of Hotaru also performed the ending theme for that first season, the delectable "Hey! Calorie Queen" (Hey!カロリーQueen). I was listening to my hard drive filled with anison, thanks to my old anime buddy, and one of the songs was indeed that very single released in January 2016. The coupling song "Asayake to Yakusoku no Uta" (Song of Morning Glow and Promises) isn't too shabby either. Written and composed by Reiji Okii（沖井礼二）, it makes for quite a contrast with the main tune since the rollicking rhythm has that hint of Shibuya-kei, almost like a Flippers' Guitar（フリッパーズギター）tune from the early 1990s.
I heard that Taketatsu and fellow seiyuu Yuuki Kaji（梶裕貴）got married back in 2019. Well, about a month ago, the two of them celebrated the birth of their first child, according to Oricon News. Many congratulations to the couple!
