It looks like the pattern is being made with the Kobayashi-san file on KKP. Since I first put up the first opening theme to "Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon"（小林さんちのメイドラゴン...Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid） back in 2017, it's been the case that there is a flurry of articles based on the anime's music one year and then things go fallow for a few years. In fact, the last time I wrote about anything on the beloved anime, it was back in 2021.
Well, I heard that the cinematic chapter in the franchise, "Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon: Samishigariya no Ryu"（小林さんちのメイドラゴン さみしがりやの竜...A Lonely Dragon Wants to Be Loved ）was released in theatres a month ago, and if the above trailer is of any indication, you're gonna have to bring a box of tissues. The usually cute if stoic Kanna Kamui has a major "OOC is Serious Business" episode here and so will fans in all likelihood.
As a few Japanese commenters have stated, how could there be any Kobayashi-san film without fhana? It would be like Kirk without Spock and hamburgers without French fries. And so, the band has come out with "Namida no Parade" (Parade of Tears). It's the usual fhana/Kobayashi-san happiness and the music video has the gang doing the usual dance show, this time starting out on location in Odaiba, Tokyo. To be honest, it could take a few more listens for it to grow on me because it hasn't quite hit me as amazingly as "Aozora no Rhapsody"（青空のラプソディ）and "Ai no Supreme!"（愛のシュプリーム！）from Season 2. "Namida no Parade" came out as one-half of a single in June including the ending theme for the movie, Sachiko Kobayashi's（小林幸子）"Boku-tachi no Hibi"（僕たちの日々...Our Days）.
Ah, very timely this is a recent song and recent movie. It this came out sometime in June for this year so just a few weeks back. Yeah, I know you have been covering this series every now and then. Another short video with people dancing to song came be found here: https://youtube.com/shorts/5KhUl4Llrfs?feature=shared
