The official website of TV Anime, Ascendance Of A Bookworm Season 4: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke, has announced that they will be releasing brand new anime footage for 4 consecutive weeks.
As the first footage, they have released a new trailer featuring the Ending song, Ima mo, Arigato, which is performed by Erika Ikuta:
Erika Ikuta commented on her work in this anime:
I’m Ikuta Erika, and I’ll be performing the ending theme for “Ascendance Of A Bookworm Season 4: Adopted Daughter of an Archduke.”
“Ima mo, Arigato” is a song that expresses gratitude to one’s mother, family, and the important people close to one another in straightforward words. I sang this song carefully, expressing feelings that I myself am usually too embarrassed to express. With this album, Myne has embarked on a new path. I hope that the feelings for her family that remain in her heart will overlap with this song. I would be happy if it reaches the hearts of everyone who listens to it.
