The idol group i☆Ris is contributing the ending song to the TV anime series "Flame Dodge Girl: Dodge Danko." As has now been announced, the title is "Welcome to Azatosa World." It was also revealed that Yuki Wakai will take on the role of Heiko Nikaido.
Heiko is the daughter of Taiga Nikaido, the greatest rival of Danko, aka Danpei. She leads the dodgeball department of St. Arrows Academy and behaves like an elegant, gentlemanly prince, but harbors an unusually strong connection to Danko, whom she calls her "eternal rival."
Regarding the song, i☆Ris explained: "We thought about how we could combine the concept of fighting with all one's might from the anime with our identity as idols in a song. That's how we came up with the idea of pursuing the path of idols in a coquettish way!" Wakai also expressed her excitement: "I'm looking forward to presenting a very passionate and exciting Heiko!"
An advance screening of the first two episodes is planned for June 21, 2026, at Cinema Shinjuku Wald 9 in Tokyo. Among the guests expected are voice actresses Manaka Nakayama (Danko Ichigeki), Kaori Maeda (Chinko Kobotoke), Akira Sekine (Mochiko Ebukuro), and You Taichi (Susan Cannon). Tickets for this will be available from May 11 via Ticket Pia.
