The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses Heroine Akane Hououji Gets Character Song CD Single

 

 

The official website for the ongoing TV anime The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses has announced that Akane Hououji’s (CV: Asami Seto) character song CD single “My Standard” is set to be released on August 2, 2023.

 

As its title suggests, the single includes the insert song “My standard” performed by her and her band in the anime’s latest fifth episode aired in Japan on May 5, the song’s in-the-show version, as well as two new songs – “Ame no Hide-and-Seek” and “Midnight Doubt.”  

 

 

Message from Asami Seto:

 

In addition to the hot rock number that Akane-san sang in the anime’s fifth episode, I also recorded a sad ballad and an emotional, slightly languorous rock number! It was difficult to match the rhythm and pitch of all three songs, but the sound was so pleasant and cool that I could imagine actually singing them at a live house, and the lyrics were so wonderful that I naturally wanted to sing them with all my heart, so I really enjoyed the recording. The details in the packaging of the CD is also remarkable. This is what it would look like if Akane-san’s band really released a CD on their own. I hope you will enjoy it!
