The main promotional video features newly unveiled footage, showcasing the unconventional heroine Maria and the lively, powerful daily life she stirs up. Viewers can enjoy the comedic expressions of the distinctive characters, as well as dramatic scenes where romance with the prince begins to unfold. A portion of the opening theme song is also revealed for the first time in the PV. The upbeat and positive song enhances the charm of the series’ world.

HoneyWorks commented that they aimed to create a song that reflects Maria’s cheerful personality and the fast paced story that draws everyone around her into motion. They encouraged viewers to enjoy the energetic, heart fluttering sound that also carries a touch of nostalgia and bittersweet emotion. Airi Suzuki added that the song includes many unforgettable phrases and expressed her hope that listeners will feel both the pop energy and the slightly elegant atmosphere of the anime.

Comment from Airi Suzuki

I am Airi Suzuki from HoneyWorks feat. Airi Suzuki, and I will be performing the opening theme for the TV anime Always a Catch!: How I Punched My Way into Marrying a Prince. When I was offered the opportunity to sing the opening theme, I was filled with happiness. I have covered HoneyWorks songs several times before, so this time I recorded while using a vocal approach that matches both the world of this anime and the world HoneyWorks creates. As the title “Chikai wa Kyun to.” suggests, the song is filled with phrases that stay with you after just one listen. I hope viewers can feel both the pop energy of the anime and its slightly elegant atmosphere, and I truly hope you look forward to it.
