Japanese record company Pony Canyon announced on March 14 that the two-disc complete vocal album “Kimi no tame ni Ikiteru” (I live for you), which includes all the vocal songs from the anime and live-action adaptations of Auri Hirao’s underground idol-themed yuri comedy manga If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I would Die will be released on May 10, 2023.

Much to the delight of fans, new songs by the in-show idol group, ChamJam, for both the anime and live-action versions will be included on the 28-song album. The jacket illustration was drawn by the manga author Auri Hirao to match the concept of the album, and depicts the seven members of ChamJam.

The album will be released as a two-CD set. The first disc contains songs from the TV anime series aired in 2020, such as the ChamJam’s self-introduction song “Zutto ChamJam,” the opening theme song “Clover wish,” the ending theme song “Momoiro Kataomoi,” as well as new songs by the anime voice cast members of ChamJam and their rival group ☆MELTY☆.

The second disc contains sons from the live-action TV drama adaptation aired in 2022 and the forthcoming feature film to be released in Japan on May 12, such as “Zutto ChamJam” and “Fall in Love” by the drama cast members of ChamJam, as well as a new song from the film.

Message from Auri Hirao:

I am very happy to hear that an album that transcends the boundaries between anime and live-action will be released, cause which I never thought there would be the opportunity that the two would be mixed. I have heard that there are some minor differences in sound in the wonderful songs that were created to suit both anime and live-action, so I am sure that fans of both will enjoy the album. I am also looking forward to it!
