The anime “The Apothecary’s Monologue” will begin airing the second season of the second season from today, Friday, April 4th. A non-credit video of the opening theme “Kusshiki,” sung by Mrs. GREEN APPLE, has been released.
“The Apothecary’s Monologue” is a Harem mystery-solving entertainment based on a novel that has sold over 38 million copies in total by Hinata Natsu, published by Hero Bunko and has also been adapted into comics for Big Gangan and Sunday GX. Set in the medieval East, the story depicts Nekoneko, a girl who plays the role of “Dogbi,” as she solves various difficult cases that occur at the Imperial Court one after another.
When the first season of the TV anime began airing in October 2023, it was always ranked high in viewing rankings on each streaming platform, and became a hot topic, winning the special award at the TVer Awards 2023.
It starts with the successive deaths of the emperor’s son due to the sinister poison, then the suspicious deaths of high-ranking officials, incidents at rituals where Michiji’s life was targeted, and then the suspect, Suirei, has disappeared. The second season of the second season is said to have been linked to all previous incidents and everything is revealed. The opening footage is also studded with various hints from the story.
Nekoneko, Miyoshi and others wear fox masks, various scenes from someone’s perspective, and the butterflies emerging. Pay attention to the video that unfolds rapidly to the speedy song, and the meaning behind it.
I hope you will enjoy it again and again, combining it with the song “Kusushiki,” which features a fast-paced band sound that sings “love that goes beyond this world and never changes even in the next life,” along with the oriental atmosphere typical of “Apothecary.”
We are very honored to have been able to connect with the “The Apothecary’s Monologue,” which is loved not only in Japan but also overseas. We thought about what we could put into our work with what we have, and created a song called “Kusshiki.”
We decided to title “Kusushiki” from the ancient word “kusushi” which is the origin of the word “medicine.” A drug that can help others and can become poisonous. Taking inspiration from the fact that it originally meant “mystical” and “mysterious”, we expanded our worldview in both the melody and lyrics.
With our unique band sound, we are also taking on a new challenge as Mrs. GREEN APPLE, incorporating the oriental atmosphere typical of “A Pharmacist” into melody and instruments. The theme of “love that goes beyond this world and continues to remain unchanged in the next life,” so although this song is unfolding rapidly, I would be happy if you could enjoy it line-by-line along with the story. The story that goes on in the future will become even more exciting, so I hope you will enjoy it along with the music.
