The boy band FlowBack will perform a new ending theme song titled "Fireworks" for the anime starting in January.
The anime's current anime-original arc features the titular character Boruto and a young version of Naruto together. The new arc premiered on October 6. Rock band LONGMAN are performing the current ending theme song "Wish On."
