Former IZ*ONE member Choi Yena's original song for Japan has been decided as the new ending theme for the TV anime 'DIGIMON BEATBREAK'. With her unique worldview and performance, Choi Yena, who exudes overwhelming presence as a next-generation pop icon in both Korea and Japan, has her original new song 'Miramira' chosen as the new ending theme for the completely new TV animation 'DIGIMON BEATBREAK', which airs every Sunday morning at 9 AM on Fuji TV and others. The keywords for the original new song and Choi Yena's first anime tie-up song 'Miramira' are 'positivity', 'courage to take a step forward', 'being oneself', 'positive energy', and 'friendship'. Based on a catchy and memorable melody and rhythmic track, it has an uplifting sound that embodies a 'sparkling x cute' worldview, creating an overall positive and forward-looking energy. The lyrics express the main theme of 'friendship', using the key item 'mirror' to depict the relationship between the protagonist and their partner Digimon in 'DIGIMON BEATBREAK'. The message conveys that the other person is as important and close as another self reflected in the mirror, leaving listeners with a sense of hope for friendship, dreams, and miracles. The new ending theme will start airing in April. Additionally, Choi Yena has announced her concert in Japan in June, her first in about a year and a half. This concert will take place over two days, June 13 (Saturday) and 14 (Sunday), at Zepp DiverCity (TOKYO), and will be the finale of her Asia tour starting in April. ◆ Choi Yena's Comment: I am very surprised and honored to be able to sing the ending theme song for an anime in Japan! It feels like a dream to be able to color a part of the anime I have loved since childhood with my voice, and I am truly honored. I practiced my Japanese pronunciation hard and recorded it with all my heart. I hope this song brings a little healing and excitement to everyone who loves the work. I also hope that the emotions of that scene will remain in memory for a long time through my singing. I sang with all my heart for this precious opportunity, so please listen to it a lot. I will continue to work hard to show wonderful aspects of myself in Japan as well.
