Blue Orchestra Season 2 Strikes a Chord: New Trailer Unveils Theme Songs and October 2025 Premiere

Fans of the critically acclaimed music drama, Blue Orchestra, are eagerly awaiting its second season, which is set to premiere on October 5, 2025, on NHK Educational TV. This new season promises an extensive 21-episode run, offering a deeper dive into the compelling world of classical music and personal growth. Recent excitement has been fueled by an unveiled trailer, providing an exclusive sneak peek at the season's vibrant soundscape, including its much-anticipated opening and ending theme songs.

The renowned Japanese rock band Galileo Galilei, celebrated for their emotionally resonant sound, will deliver the opening theme, “Amadeus.” This choice perfectly aligns with the series' poignant musical narrative. While the identity of the artist behind the ending theme remains a tantalizing mystery, it only adds to the growing intrigue surrounding the new season.

Shoya Chiba returns to reprise his role as the prodigious violinist Hajime Aono. Viewers will recall Hajime's inspiring journey of overcoming a significant personal hurdle in his middle school violin career. The ensemble cast expands with the addition of talented new members Ai Kakuma, Shinba Tsuchiya, and Makoto Furukawa, who are set to enrich the dynamic portrayal of youth navigating the demanding world of classical music.

Under the consistent direction of Seiji Kishi and the trusted production of Studio Nippon Animation, the series promises to maintain its signature quality and artistic vision. Akira Kosemura’s masterful orchestral arrangements are once again at the helm of the music composition, ensuring the series’ emotional impact resonates deeply with its audience.

Blue Orchestra Season 2 is poised to intricately explore the prestigious school orchestra and Hajime’s ongoing quest to rekindle his profound passion for the violin. This journey was initially sparked by his transformative encounter with Ritsuko Akine. This beloved anime adaptation, based on Makoto Akui’s celebrated manga, which received the Best Shōnen Manga award at the 68th Shogakukan Manga Awards, continues to enchant viewers with its unique fusion of classical music and compelling youthful drama.

With a rebroadcast of the first season slated for April 2025 on NHK-e, the stage is perfectly set for Blue Orchestra to reassert its position as a monumental title in music-themed anime for the coming year.
