"The Crunchyroll Anime Awards is the first award ALI received, and we were very happy that the award came from fans around the world. We were honored to win two awards  in 2021, Best Ending Sequence for LOST IN PARADISE and Best Opening Sequence for Wild Side. We couldn't be more thankful that the awards brought our music to the world and brought us confidence.

"I am confident that a series of wonderful anime being created today will be masterpieces in 50 or 100 years from now on and will influence the hearts and lives of people in the world like I felt my soul and life were changed whenever I experienced the great films from 70 years ago including titles and works from directors like Kinji Fukasaku, Akira Kurosawa, and Tokyo Story. With these feelings and wishes in mind, I would like to wander the musical paradise and sing for the fans worldwide," said Leo from ALI.

The first half of "Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3" is set to premiere just before the awards.
