Singers and voice actresses
Nao Toyama and
Kiyono Yasuno will make their official debut as
Pokapoka Ion with the release of their first single, titled
Yajirushi→, on March 2nd.
Pokapoka Ion was unofficially formed in 2017 by the pair, who are both members of the tactical music unit
Walküre from "Macross Delta", with the hope of singing as a duo in the future. The unit aims at "soothing
people’s hearts and delivering vitality 'vitamins' for tomorrow" by creating pop songs that warm people’s hearts ("pokapoka" in Japanese) and showering them with negative ions.
This debut single will be available in three editions. They will all
include the title track
Yajirushi→, which serves as the opening theme for "Slow Loop" anime series, as well as
Boku no takaramono, which is an insert song from the anime series "Restaurant to Another World 2". The Anime Edition will
be CD-only, while the Pokapoka Edition (Limited Edition A) will come with a DVD featuring the music video for
Yajirushi→ and a bonus video titled
Pokapoka Ion no kotatsu party!. The Ion Edition (Limited Edition B) will include an additional
CD featuring a radio show called
Pokapoka Ion ga moshi radio bangumi wo mottara!?.
