Singer-songwriter Ako has released ‘Harmony’, the ending theme for the TV anime Kirio Fan Club, which began streaming worldwide on April 3rd 2026.
The track captures the unstable emotions of young love, using Ako’s signature airy, whispery vocals and a simple band sound to evoke tender, fragile moments of youth.
“Kirio Fan Club is a story where the characters, without even realising it, are sharing deeply precious and irreplaceable moments together”, Ako says. “Beyond its wonderful balance of humour and seriousness, there’s also a constant sense of fleeting beauty in every scene. I tried to reflect and expand that feeling through this song”.
Kirio Fan Club follows Aimi and Nami as they confide in each other about their shared feelings for Kirio-kun, navigating the bittersweet reality of unrequited love as their ordinary days begin to shift around them.
