FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

INTERSECTION’S first song of 2020, “New Page”, has been chosen as the new ending theme for the popular TV anime Black Clover.

Formed in 2018 by four Japanese-American boys, INTERSECTION created “New Page” with the concept of “moving on to the next step” and connecting to the powerful books (“grimoires”) of the animation series which is now in its third season on TV Tokyo and broadcast worldwide.

The song’s thoughtful lyrics were written in collaboration with producer Nao’ymt, whose credits include works for Namie Amuro, Daichi Miura, and J Soul Brothers.

INTERSECTION’s signature sweet, mid-tempo melody and passionate vocal harmonies communicate the message of “hope”, “courage”, and “being positive”, based on the story of Black Clover.

“We’re so happy that our song was chosen for the ending theme of Black Clover,” said Mika Hashizume, the oldest member of the group. “Asta’s love for friends and his strength to never give up were always encouraging to us, so we created a song that links to the struggles of those characters and their hopes for the future.”

“The wind is always blowing in our hearts,” added hitmaker Nao’ymt. “The wind can sometimes become a headwind, or it can wave a flag of hope to encourage someone. Listen carefully and hear the sound of the wind in your own heart. It might be time to open a new page of life.”

INTERSECTION – who perform songs in both English and Japanese – previously performed the ending theme “One Step Closer” for the anime Fruits Basket and released their first digital album in August 2019. Following the success of their song “You’re the Reason”, which has achieved over 4 million views on YouTube, the group revealed a new English version of the track on Christmas Day.
