thanks to a-chan for the news!!

The Fate/Stay Night UBW website has updated with a 2nd PV for the anime, which starts airing today (4/4/24h) in Japan. The PV features a sample of Kalafina’s “ring your bell” which will be used as Ending Theme.

According to information, ring your bell (in the silence) is a hymn version, requested by Ufotable. Also, the b-side is expected to be a dark song, to balance ring your bell’s brightness.

thanks to sutekinanijinoiro and Hatouchan

The first episode of the new Rekishi Hiwa Historia season has aired, and so we can hear the new ending theme far on the water! The song isnt included in the “ring your bell” single so it will be probably included in the next kalafina album.
