In case you’re unfamiliar, Hitsujibungaku is a Japanese rock band that was founded in 2011, though the band gained renown in 2018 with the release of their first album “若者たちへ” (To the youth). Since then, the band has released three more albums, and they’ve also been tapped to perform songs in anime.
Perhaps their most popular song is more than words, the second ending theme of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. Aside from this popular shonen anime, Hitsujibungaku also performed the opening song “Hikaru Toki” (When the Light Shines) for the 2021 anime The Heike Story.
For now, there’s no word yet on where the Hitsujibungaku Philippines concert will happen. Expect more details about its venue and ticket prices to be revealed in the coming weeks or months leading up to July 6.
