Sou's current activity on the Yomimono record is a single announced credit: the opening song "Hello" for the anime adaptation of Nazuna Miki and Tsukasa Araki's manga So What's Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin? The series revealed its main promotional video, additional staff, and theme song lineup together, and set an October 5 premiere on Tokyo MX. AHUB performs the ending song, "Chiisana Bokura."
That announcement is the only Sou item in the cluster, and no other story expands on it. Nothing in the coverage describes the artist beyond the song title and the show it belongs to, and no release details for "Hello" itself, such as a single date or distribution format, appear in any of the stories.
What the surrounding coverage establishes is the premiere window. The broadcast schedule puts the goblin reincarnation comedy in the fall 2026 season, which makes Sou's opening theme part of a confirmed fall lineup rather than a project still in announcement stages.

S-GAME held a hands-on event in Beijing for Phantom Blade Zero, its wuxia action RPG launching October 29 on PS5 and PC.
