Nowlu

Nowlu performs the ending theme song "Iki" for the Fool Night television anime, which Netflix will debut in full on November 26.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated 1h ago

Nowlu's role in Fool Night is fixed to one credit: the ending theme song "Iki." The first reports of the anime's cast and music named Nowlu alongside Tempalay, which performs the opening theme "Shake! spit out," and that pairing held through every subsequent announcement about the series.

The later trailer and key visual release from Bandai Namco Filmworks restated the same music credits rather than replacing them. What changed across the stories was everything around the songs: the cast grew, with Shion Wakayama, the late Dai Tsuchida, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Sayaka Senbongi, and Yumiko Kobayashi named in the role announcements, and the production settled at Sunrise and Shaft under director Atsuyuki Yukawa. The trailer confirmed the series will arrive as a full Netflix launch on November 26, not a weekly rollout.

For Nowlu, that means a single confirmed television theme on a series carrying a worldwide streaming date. The stories give no other Nowlu work, no label, and no release plan for "Iki" as a standalone song. Coverage of the music itself stays with the two theme titles; the details that accumulated belong to the anime's cast and production, not to Nowlu.

The Fool Night anime released its key visual and main PV on November 5, ahead of a November 26 worldwide Netflix launch. Tempalay performs the opening theme, "Shake! spit out," and Nowlu performs the ending theme, "Iki." The main PV uses Tempalay's song over footage of the anti-Tenshika protests and the character Ivy. Five cast additions were named: Shion Wakayama as Sumi Matsuno, Dai Tsuchida as Ken Hikasa, Nobuhiko Okamoto as Nishi, Ayaka Senbongi as Megu Okumura, and Yumiko Kobayashi as Ivy. Sunrise and Shaft share animation production, described as their first tag-team collaboration. The key visual places Toshiro, Yomiko, Akira, Kano, and Jin under black clouds. A three-day Street Tenshika Piano Exhibition runs at Tokyo Midtown from November 27 to 29, with a playable piano and works by flower artist Ayaka Ozono. Tsuchida died in October; his comment was submitted during his lifetime.
