The song is due to arrive digitally on 11 November, with a limited CD single following on 18 November for ¥2,800 including tax.

Masatsugu Saito drew the new key visual, while Seiji Mizushima directs from a screenplay by Gen Urobuchi of Nitroplus. Toei Animation is handling the animation. ¹

A sequel with familiar names

The official trailer is embedded below.

Our opinion

The trailer's strongest new detail is not just the song but the way it gives Resonance a clearer identity before release. A TeddyLoid track led by Ayane Sakura and Nagi Inoue should give the sequel a useful musical hook, while the returning creative team makes this feel like a continuation rather than a loose spin-off. The November dates will tell us how well that promise lands.
