Mamoru Miyano to Perform Uta-Pri Anime Sequel's Theme

As expected...
Voice actor Mamoru Miyano revealed on his website on Tuesday that the title song for his ninth single will be used as the theme song for the Uta no Prince-sama - Maji Love 2000%, the second season of the Uta no Prince-sama - Maji Love 1000% television anime series. More details on the title of the song and the release date for the single will be revealed later.

Miyano sang the opening theme song for the first season of the series, and performed in the ending theme song with the other members of the voice actor unit ST☆RISH. 

The series adapts Broccoli's 2010 PSP romance game franchise of the same name for female players. In the slapstick romantic comedy, a girl goes to a school for the performing arts with boys who are budding idols. Niconico streamed the first season of the series as it aired in 2011.

Uta no Prince-sama - Maji Love 2000% will premiere in Japan in April.
