Carole & Tuesday's Intro & Outro Themes: Polly Jean / Not Afraid Released Today
Tokyo, August 28th, 2019. The new intro and outro themes, Polly Jean & Not Afraid, were released today on CD, vinyl, and digital.“Polly Jean” is a song written by Keigo Oyamada AKA Cornelius, a musician who has done numerous remixes and collaborations with artists both at home and abroad. It's a high-quality pop number that combines a heady sound with Nai Br.XX & Celeina Ann's soothing tones. “Not Afraid” is a song written by Lido, a trackmaker and multi-instrumentalist who has produced and remixed some of the most innovative music of the last decade. It's an electro song that conveys a powerful sense of scale.
The upcoming episode 19 of CAROLE & TUESDAY, which will air tonight on Fuji TV's +Ultra timeslot, will feature a new character: Ezekiel (CV: Subaru Kimura), a rapper who leads a group of gangs.
Additionally, from August 28 (Wed) to September 3 (Tues), we will be running the sixteenth round of our Twitter campaign. One lucky winner who follows and retweets the official CAROLE & TUESDAY Twitter account will receive a poster autographed by Subaru Kimura, who is playing Ezekiel.

SYNOPSIS
Fifty years have passed since mankind began migrating to the new frontier: Mars.
It's an age where most culture is produced by AI, and people are content to be passive consumers.
There's a girl.
Scraping a living in the metropolis of Alba City, she's working part time while trying to become a
musician. She's always felt like something is missing.
Her name is Carole.
There's a girl.
Born to a wealthy family in the provincial town of Herschel City, she dreams of becoming a musician,
but nobody around her understands. She feels like the loneliest person in the world.
Her name is Tuesday.
A chance meeting brings them together.
They want to sing.
They want to make music.
Together, they feel like they just might have a chance.
