On April 1, 2026, the 2.5D talent group Sixfonia made waves in the online community by unexpectedly announcing their supposed role in providing an ending theme for a certain anime. Coupled with an engaging music video for the original song "Kyou mo Bokura wa Aruiteku," this announcement sparked excitement and surprise among fans as it initially seemed like a major collaboration. However, as it turned out, the entire project was a cleverly crafted independent work by Sixfonia, designed to reflect the playful spirit characteristic of April Fools' Day.
The announcement was made via Sixfonia’s official X account, where they shared a cryptic post indicating their involvement in an anime's ending theme. This sudden revelation perplexed many fans, generating a wave of anticipation on SNS. Following the announcement, the music video premiered, showcasing an original piece designed to echo the visual aesthetics of anime endings. The video featured "Fonimal," an animal character inspired by the Sixfonia members, marking an amusing debut for this new addition to their creative roster. The combination of soft, heartwarming melodies and snippets from everyday life in the video elicited a sense of immersion, as if viewers were watching a real anime ending.
A highlight of the music video is found in the end credits, presented in a format reminiscent of traditional anime. The credits include descriptors like "Production: Private Sixfonia School Fonimal Branch," "Character Design: Sixfonia Designer Team," and other humorous attachments that leave viewers chuckling. While the presentation gives an impression of a substantial production crew, a closer look uncovers the humor woven into the details - a clever construct that invites audiences to enjoy every facet of the endeavor.
But the fun doesn't stop with the video. Alongside the musical announcement, Sixfonia unveiled a collection of merchandise themed around the character Fonimal, available for actual purchase. This collection features items like plush keychains, acrylic key holders, and food accessories for the plushies, enabling fans to experience the character’s world right in their hands. Orders can be placed starting April 1, 2026, at 7 PM until April 12, 2026, on the official Sixfonia online store, known as "SIXSTORE."
As a particularly whimsical touch, they introduced the "Sixfonia Big Trading Card," a notably large B5-sized card priced at an amusing “41 yen” to reflect the playful spirit of April Fools'. This striking juxtaposition of size and price draws immediate attention, making it a standout item for collectors.
Ultimately, what began as an outlandish claim of being involved in an anime ED evolved into a well-rounded experience featuring an enjoyable video and tangible products. By utilizing the context of April Fools' Day, Sixfonia has successfully transformed what was initially a jest into an interactive opportunity for their audience; an embodiment of their characteristic innovation and dedication to engaging with fans. As they continue to blend music, video, and innovative projects, fans can expect further exciting developments from Sixfonia in the future.
