CD Single Announcement and Jacket Illustration Reveal!
TV anime Kujima Utaeba Ie Hororo began airing April 9, 2026. The manga was first serialized in Shogakukan’s monthly shonen manga magazine Gessan and has since won the U-NEXT award for the 2022 Next Manga Awards, been ranked first by multiple bookstores for manga recommended by staff in 2023, and been received enthusiastically by professional buyers. The story is a homely comedy that centers around an encounter between first-year middle school student Arata Kouda and Kujima, a strange creature that crossed over to Japan from Russia. This fateful encounter triggers a gradual change within his household.
It has been announced that “Komorebizaka” by Galileo Galilei, the opening theme song, will be released as a single. The titular track was written specifically to serve as the opening theme song for the anime after a heartfelt request by the author Akira Konno. In conclusion, a miraculous song was born from the mutual respect between Galileo Galilei and the author. In addition, the tracklist for the CD single, which includes the anime insert song “Hito wa Wataridori”, has also been revealed.
The CD jacket illustration is an original illustration by the author. It features Kujima standing alone amidst the swaying grass by the water’s edge as migrating birds fly across the sky. This one-of-a-kind illustration perfectly captures the beautiful and emotional atmosphere of the music. You don’t want to miss out on this rare piece from Galileo Galilei and Akira Konno.

About Galileo Galilei
Yuuki Ozaki (vocals, guitar) and Kazuki Ozaki (drums) formed the rock band in 2007 in Wakkanai, Hokkaido.
In 2008, they won the Senko Riot grand prix and made their major debut in 2010 with their first mini album Hamanasu no Hana. Their transparent melodies and delicate lyrics have gathered support from fans around the world.
After their debut, they released numerous hits such as “Natsuzora” (OP theme song for Big Windup! 2) and “Aoi Shiori” (OP theme song for Ano Hana: The Flower We Saw). Following their concert at the Nippon Budokan in 2016, they went on hiatus but have since resumed activities as of October 2022 with a new lineup featuring Yuuki Ozaki, Kazuki Ozaki, Masaki Okazaki (bass) and original founding member Fumito Iwai (guitar). On March 15, 2025, they held a concert at Tokyo Garden Theatre celebrating their 15th anniversary. On October 11, 2025, the guitarist DAIKI, who had been an active member in Bird Bear Hare and Fish (BBHF) alongside Yuuki and Kazuki and had served as a support guitarist for Galileo Galilei, officially joined the band. They released “Amadeus”, the OP theme song for TV anime Ao no Orchestra Season 2, that same month.
