First Main PV Featuring the Song Released!
The opening theme song for YOUR FORMA has been officially announced! The song, "GRIDOUT", will be performed by yama, the rising star who took the charts by storm with "Haru wo Tsugeru". The track is written, composed, and arranged by Nuyuri, known for hit Vocaloid songs like "Inochi Bakkari" and "Lower".
[Comments from yama]
Facing painful memories is never easy.
Without emotional maturity, confronting the truth can lead to collapse. Perhaps, in order to survive, we suppress our deepest emotions.
A machine-like human and a human-like machine.
It is precisely because they are opposites that they awaken feelings in one another.
Only by truly listening to the voice of one's heart can one find purification.
With these delicate emotions in mind, I put my heart into this song.
I hope you enjoy "GRIDOUT" along withYOUR FORMA!

Additional cast members, including Nao Tōyama, Aya Endō, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Ayaka Nanase, Chiwa Saitō, and Yuu Hayashi, have been announced!
【Bigga voiced by Nao Tōyama】
Comments from Nao Tōyama:
In a world where human and machine interactions are evolving rapidly, YOUR FORMA feels like more than just sci-fi fantasy. It's also a compelling mystery and an engaging buddy story. I hope viewers follow the journey all the way to the intense finale!
【Totoki voiced by Aya Endō】
Comments from Aya Endō:
I've always imagined a future like this, but actually stepping into the story made me realize the complexities beyond just human relationships. This role was something I had always hoped to play, making it both exciting and nerve-wracking. It was truly fulfilling!
【Fokine voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto】
Comments from Nobuhiko Okamoto:
During my first recording, I was told, 'You're one of the handsome leads alongside Harold,' which made me a little nervous when shaping the character. Forkine is gentle, somewhat endearing, yet reliable—a character full of intriguing contrasts. Look forward to his journey!
【Darya voiced by Ayaka Nanase】
Comments from Ayaka Nanase:
I'm Ayaka Nanase, playing Darya!
I really love how kind and compassionate she is. The relationship between humans and robots in this story feels possible in the future. I'm really looking forward to the broadcast!
【Lexie voiced by Chiwa Saitō】
Comments from Chiwa Saitō:
Lexie, a genius engineer, is the creator of the RF models. The act of 'creating' something always carries a sense of madness, and this role reinforced that idea for me. Exploring the boundaries between humans and Amicus was fascinating, and I really enjoyed the recording.
【Benno voiced by Yuu Hayashi】
Comments from Yuu Hayashi:
I'm Yuu Hayashi, voicing Benno!
Benno is a meticulous, sarcastic colleague of Echika. It's a character type I don't often get to play, so it was a challenge for me. I put everything into the role, and I hope you enjoy it!
■BROADCAST INFORMATION
Starting from April 2025.

■INTRODUCTION
In 1992, a pandemic of viral encephalitis shook the world. The medical technology that saved humanity evolved into “Your Forma”—an invasive information device implanted into the brain. In this world where every sight, sound, and even emotion is recorded, investigating major crimes means diving into the collective data, a job reserved for special detectives called “Electronic Investigator.”
Echika Hieda, a prodigious “Electronic Investigator” assigned at an astonishingly young age, stands isolated by her exceptional talent. Her newly assigned partner is Harold, a blonde, blue-eyed humanoid “Amicus.” Together, this unrivaled duo will expose every hidden secret.
