Shots!

Nao Toyama and Kiyono Yasuno are also both members of the tactical music unit Walküre from Macross Delta. After performing together on a TV show in 2017, they hit it off and unofficially formed a unit in the hopes of one day singing as a duo. Now, five years later, the unit is official, and they will be singing the OP theme of Slow Loop. Pokapoka Ion, which was formed under the concept of “soothing people’s hearts and delivering vitality ‘vitamins’ for tomorrow,” seeks to deliver comfortable pop tunes that warm people’s hearts (“pokapoka” in Japanese) and shower them with negative ions!

Anime “Slow Loop” Overview

INTRODUCTION

Hiyori is a young girl who enjoys fly-fishing, a sport she learned from her late father. While fishing as usual, she meets Koharu, an innocent girl who suddenly wants to go into the sea. The two decide to go fishing together, but are they actually the daughters of their parents’ second marriage partners?

Why don’t you join Hiyori and Koharu, who have become “sisters” through a chance encounter, and spend a slow time together while “fishing”?
