Asaka performs the opening theme "GO! GO! RAILWAY!!" for the anime Tetsuryo! meet with Tetsudo Musume, which premieres October 8 at 12:00 a.m. JST on Tokyo MX and BS Fuji with HIDIVE streaming for six English-speaking territories.
Asaka's current work is the opening theme for Tetsuryo! meet with Tetsudo Musume, the original anime built on the Tetsudo Musume characters. The official X account for the anime announced the song, "GO! GO! RAILWAY!!", on September 16, and a pre-broadcast promotional video previewing it followed on September 20. The ending theme, "Watashi Miraisen," is performed by the Tetsuryo Club, the four main voice actors of the series.
The production itself is set. East Fish Studio animates, with Misuzu Hoshino directing. The series premieres October 8 at 12:00 a.m. JST on Tokyo MX and BS Fuji, and HIDIVE streams it in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. With the premiere date, the broadcaster, the director, and the studio all confirmed before the trailer arrived, the theme song announcement was the last major piece of the promotional runway to be filled in.
Coverage of Asaka in this stretch is otherwise quiet. Two stories carry the theme song announcement and the trailer that previews it, and the remaining items in the cluster concern other subjects. The dossier therefore rests on the single confirmed project: an October 8 broadcast with a fixed streaming home and a completed slate of theme songs.
