Azur Lane Rocks With Music Video by T.M.Revolution; New Anime Announced

Azur Lane publisher Yostar concluded the celebration for the third anniversary of the game in Japan, and had more to share with the fans.

First of all, we get a new music video titled “As a route of ray” by Japanese superstar musician Takanori Nishikawa, which you may know as T.M.Revolution.

The same song was used for a new TV commercial released for the game. You can check out both below.

On top of this, we also get the announcement of a brand new anime series titled “Azure Lane: Bisoku Zenshin!” based on the game’s popular yonkoma (4-panel) manga.

You can check out the teaser trailer and the video introducing the theme song below. It will air in Japan in January 2021.

Incidentally, earlier during the 25-hour long livestream, Yostar revealed the next major event based on the Sakura Empire.

If you’re unfamiliar with Azur Lane, it’s is a free-to-play mobile horizontal scrolling shooter/RPG hybrid currently available for iOS and Android.

If you’re not into mobile games, Idea Factory International recently launched Azur Lane: Crosswave for PS4 and PC, with a Nintendo Switch version coming to Japan next week. The western version will soon finally get the DLC shipgirls.
