Orangestar Writes First New Song in Two Years for Spring-Themed Anime
The piece argues that Orangestar's move into a spring-themed story is not a stylistic break but a logical extension of his existing artistic identity, which has always dealt with temporality and memory.

Vocaloid P Orangestar, known for summer-themed songs like "Asu no Yozora Shōkaihan" and "Kaisei," has written his first new song in roughly two years for the TV anime "Shunkashūtō Daikōsha Haru no Mai." The anime, based on an original work by Kana Akatsuki of "Violet Evergarden" fame, is set in a world where agents empowered by the gods of the four seasons rotate the seasons. Orangestar's involvement, while seemingly a departure from his summer associations, is framed by the article as a natural fit given his past works' themes of lost time and youth.
Orangestar, the Vocaloid P behind summer anthems like "Asu no Yozora Shōkaihan" and "Kaisei," has contributed his first new song in about two years to the TV anime "Shunkashūtō Daikōsha Haru no Mai." The anime, which began airing in April, is an original work by Kana Akatsuki, author of "Violet Evergarden." It follows a world where the seasons are rotated by agents empowered by seasonal gods; spring has been missing for ten years after the spring agent vanished. The article traces Orangestar's career from his 2013 debut as a Vocaloid P through his influence on later producers like MIMI, Aqu3ra, and Guiano, and argues that his music's recurring themes of lost time and youth make him a fitting choice for a story about recovering spring and moving forward.
