Wagakki Band has released a short preview of “Hangeki No Yaiba” from their upcoming 2nd album “Yasou Emaki” (release date: September 2)! It is the theme song for “Shingeki no Kyojin ~Hangeki no Noroshi~”, the live action web drama adaptation of the massively popular manga Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin).

It is regrettable that this is only a short preview as it fades out just as the band members are about jump into battle. Even though they have their blades ready, without Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear how will they hope to get high enough to fight whatever has smashed through the ceiling and ruined their dinner? While “Hangeki No Yaiba” is a welcome return to the sound they are known for, seeing them in normal clothes is kind of unusual. It would have been even more amazing if they had been wearing the uniforms and the Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear though. Maybe it will happen in the full version of the MV? Vocalist Yuko Suzuhana seems unusually calm even after the members of her band have been defeated. Perhaps she is a Titan?
