Special 2.5D Unit Formed to Sing ED Theme for TV Anime "The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses"
OP&ED Singles Information Released!
The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses, a romantic comedy anime that has been generating significant buzz on social media, is set to make its debut in Japan in July 2023. The ending theme song, titled “Megane-Go-Round,” will be performed by a special unit called “Masayoshi ga Megane wo Wasureta” (Masayoshi Forgot His Glasses), consisting of Masayoshi Ōishi, Komura- kun, and Mie-san.
The manga The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses depicts the relationship between Ai Mie, an absent-minded girl who constantly forgets her glasses, and Kaede Komura, a slightly awkward and timid boy. Originally started on Twitter by Koume Fujichika, the manga has garnered attention for its heart-pounding moments and the progression of the two characters' relationship, receiving tens of thousands of likes with each update. It is truly a must-see romantic comedy that captures the excitement of falling in love.
The newly announced ending theme song, “Megane-Go-Round,” represents a unique 2.5D collaboration between Ai Mie and Kaede Komura from the anime's 2D world, and Masayoshi Oishi, a beloved anime song singer from our 3D realm. Written and composed by Masayoshi Oishi, “Megane-Go-Round” features the unique vocals of Komura-kun and Mie-san, capturing their innocent chemistry and sense of closeness. Masayoshi Ōishi takes on the role of a storyteller, creating a merry-go-round-like, vibrant atmosphere.
The special unit reveal video released today features an instrumental version of the song. The full version will be available later, so stay tuned!
In addition to the aforementioned announcement, details regarding the opening and ending theme song singles have been revealed. The opening theme song, “NAME,” performed by 16- year-old high school singer Tsuzuri, will be released in two formats: an Anime Edition adorned with artwork from the anime and a Limited Tsuzuri Edition that shines the spotlight on the artist herself. The ending theme song “Megane-Go-Round” will be offered in both a Limited First Edition and a Standard Edition, featuring original artwork by Koume Fujichika. The Limited First Edition includes a special short manga titled “Masayoshi ga Megane wo Wasureta.” Both versions are set to be released on August 2.

Masayoshi Ōishi comment
It's the birth of a new 3-person unit that transcends the barriers of 2D and 3D!
The song features an interesting structure where Mie-san and Komura-kun engage in flirtatious
banter, while I provide commentary like a storyteller watching over them. I'm a big fan of the
original work, so it's truly an honor to be involved in this manner!
Let's watch over their relationship together through this song!
Kaede Komura comment (CV: Masahiro Ito)
I'm participating in the ending theme song “Megane-Go-Round” in the role of Kaede Komura.
Working alongside Oishi-san is truly a dream come true!
The first time I heard the demo, I was captivated by the balance between the exquisite melody and the casual sense of everyday life. I found myself listening to it over and over. During the recording, the process of working with Oishi-san and the music producer to create a singing voice for Komura-kun was very satisfying. I hope you'll enjoy the song along with the anime.
Ai Mie comment (CV: Shion Wakayama)
From the moment I first listened to the demo, I was captivated by this song...! The vivid image of
Oishi-san supporting Komura-kun as he interacts with Mie-san was so beautiful that I wanted to
cry.
I was a little anxious before the recording because I wasn't sure how to sing Mie-san's part, but Oishi-san's praise during the performance boosted my confidence.
This is truly a wonderful song packed with the world of “The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses,” so I hope you enjoy it!
