This time, I'm really pleased to be in charge of the OP/ED.
I love anime and games and grew up with them.
Even if I was not so familiar with Otome genre, I really became drawn to this world through Kenka Bancho Otome.
The OP/ED by Love Desire fits well with the atmosphere of Kenko Bancho Otome, so please enjoy them.

When I heard about this project I was so excited and couldn't believe it until recently. It was only when I entered the recording period that I realized that it was not a dream. I never expected that a day I would be able to sing the theme song of an anime would come. Thank you very much for making my dream come true.
