Chart-Topping Duo YOASOBI Confirmed for Hana-Kimi Anime Theme Songs Ahead of January 2026 Premiere

The highly anticipated television anime adaptation of Hisaya Nakajo’s iconic shojo romantic comedy, Hana-Kimi, has released a new trailer, providing a comprehensive look at the upcoming series. This promotional footage, released in early November 2025, confirms the official premiere date set for January 4, 2026. Furthermore, the trailer confirms a major collaboration with the influential musical act, YOASOBI, who will provide both the opening and ending theme songs.

YOASOBI, known globally for their chart-dominating contributions to hit anime such as Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury and Oshi no Ko, are scheduled to perform the opening track, “Adrena,” and the closing song, “Baby.” Their involvement is significant for the adaptation, aiming to blend the nostalgic appeal of the original manga with a contemporary musical style, thereby appealing to both dedicated longtime readers and new international audiences.

The recently released trailer effectively showcases the series’ vibrant animation style, which accurately captures the heartfelt and quirky atmosphere of Nakajo’s source material. The visuals reintroduce the core premise: a spirited girl undertakes the plan of disguising herself as a male student to enroll in an exclusive all-boys academy. Her objective is to be near her crush, a situation that inevitably leads to a continuous sequence of misadventures, romantic tension, and self-discovery.

Highlighting dynamic character designs and the lively school campus setting, the trailer positions the anime as a potential standout romantic comedy for the season. With Crunchyroll securing the streaming rights, the series guarantees immediate global accessibility upon its January 2026 debut. By combining a classic high school romance narrative with the modern appeal of YOASOBI’s music and state-of-the-art animation, Hana-Kimi is strategically positioned to be a major breakout success early next year.
