The Final Image Song for Kotonohana Bunko Project Unveiled by Marble!
In an exciting announcement, Micromagazine Inc., based in Chuo, Tokyo, has revealed the release of the final image song for the Kotonohana Bunko literary label's music project. The song, titled 'Phalaenopsis', is inspired by the upcoming book, 'If I Were Reborn, I’d Be a Dog or Cat', which is set to launch on May 20, 2026. This captivating image song is now available across all major music streaming platforms, aligning perfectly with the book's release date.
The composition, 'Phalaenopsis', is crafted by the talented duo known as Marble. The band comprises of micco (lyricist and composer) and Tatsuya Kikuchi (arranger). Their musical journey began at a music vocational school, where they first collaborated as support members for micco's solo performances. In 1999, they made their debut as the duo 'THE STUDENT'S' under Warner Music Japan. Seeking to explore new musical directions, they transformed into Marble in 2005, introducing drums to their sound.
Over the years, Marble has built a diverse repertoire, including notable theme songs for various TV anime series. A significant milestone in their career was the ED theme for the anime 'Hidamari Sketch', which led to their major debut under Lantis with the song 'Mebae Drive'. After taking a hiatus in 2014, Marble made a triumphant return to the music scene in 2020 and continues to actively engage in live performances and music production.
The accompanying book, 'If I Were Reborn, I’d Be a Dog or Cat', explores a whimsical scenario where readers can choose between being a beloved puppy spoiled by charming gentlemen or a kitty cherished by a lord and butler in a fantastical realm. It promises to be a delightful escape for readers looking for enchanting narratives. This title is priced at 781 yen (710 yen plus 10% tax) and is illustrated by Akihane, with a publication date set for May 20, 2026.
Marble has also contributed to another title within the Kotonohana Bunko, the April release titled 'Mystery Solving in Kyoto: The Ephemeral Spring of Love', with the image song 'At the End of Winter, Your Shadow'.
Kotonohana Bunko has established itself as a beloved literary label since its inception in 2025, targeting adult female readers. With over 70,000 copies sold of its captivating series such as 'Our Home is a Borrowed Bookstore' and the popular supernatural tale 'The Policeman and the Lucky Cat', the label has continued to resonate with its audience. Notable adaptations include the drama 'Beyond Goodbye'.
