Yuki Kajiura to Compose Music for Fena: Pirate Princess Coming Out in October 2021!

Fena: Pirate Princess is an 18th century tale of pirates, princesses, and samurai produced by Production I.G, one of Japan’s foremost animation studios, and directed by Kazuto Nakazawa, who is known for his film B: The Beginning. Set in an alternate history, the story depicts the journey and growth of the heroine Fena, a victim of the cruel wiles of fate. Today, the first key visual and promotional video were released.

The music will be provided by Yuki Kajiura, who has worked on the soundtracks of numerous anime including Tsubasa Chronicles and Sword Art Online and who produced “Homura”, the award-winning theme song of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train.

Comment from Yuki Kajiura:

“I am truly honored to have been given the opportunity to create the music for Fena: Pirate Princess, a romantic tale of treasure hunting on the ocean. I had a lot of fun composing music that would be suitable for an ocean adventure. The characters are unique, and the scenery as they travel is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait to watch their full adventure from beginning to end. I hope that my music will be worthy of this anime, and that everyone who watches it will enjoy the soundtrack!”
