The first part of "Theatrical Compilation Bocchi the Rock! Re:/Re:Re:" was released on the 7th, and Kessoku Band's new song "Now, I'm from Underground" has been decided as the ending theme. The song will be released on streaming platforms from the 9th, along with the opening theme. The song is written and composed by Yuho Kitazawa, arranged by Ritsuro Mitsui, who also worked on "What’s Wrong," and sung by Ikuyo Kita.

Additionally, with the first part's theatrical release imminent, the key visual for "Theatrical Compilation Bocchi the Rock! Part 2 Re:Re:," which will be released on August 9th, has been unveiled. The visual, drawn by character designer and chief animation director Kerorira, features the catchphrase "The path is now clear" and depicts the four members of Kessoku Band sitting on a school stage wearing their band T-shirts. Furthermore, movie ticket cards featuring the key visual will be available for sale in theaters starting June 10th.

The work is based on the popular 4-panel manga "Bocchi the Rock!" by Aki Hamaji, serialized in Houbunsha's "Manga Time Kirara MAX." The story follows Hitori Goto, an extremely shy and introverted girl, who joins the band "Kessoku Band" and grows alongside its three unique members: Nijika Ijichi, Ryo Yamada, and Ikuyo Kita. The series has garnered significant empathy from its audience. Upon the TV anime's release in the fall of 2022, it quickly gained explosive popularity, especially among young people, winning numerous awards and gaining widespread acclaim both domestically and internationally. In the music realm, Kessoku Band's full album "Kessoku Band" swept the 2023 Oricon "Sales by Work Category Digital Album Ranking" annual chart, securing the first place, and creating a significant impact.
