Nao Toyama & Kiyono Yasuno to Officially Form New Unit “Pokapoka Ion”

Popular voice actress Nao Toyama and Kiyono Yasuno, have officially formed a new special unit called “Pokapoka Ion.” They will be singing “Yajirushi,” the OP theme of the anime Slow Loop, which will air in January in Japan.

Nao Toyama and Kiyono Yasuno are also both members of the tactical music unit Walküre from Macross Delta. After performing together on a TV show in 2017, they hit it off and unofficially formed a unit in the hopes of one day singing as a duo. Now, five years later, the unit is official, and they will be singing the OP theme of Slow Loop. Pokapoka Ion, which was formed under the concept of “soothing people’s hearts and delivering vitality ‘vitamins’ for tomorrow,” seeks to deliver comfortable pop tunes that warm people’s hearts (“pokapoka” in Japanese) and shower them with negative ions!

The TV anime Slow Loop will be airing in January 2022 in Japan. Please look forward to the anime and the future activities of Pokapoka Ion! Be sure to check out their official website here along with a preview of their track “Yajirushi” below as well.
