MIYAVI's 'Find A Way' Selected as the Ending Theme Song for the Original Anime 未ル(Miru)

Osaka, Japan (February 17, 2025) - Yanmar Holdings Co., Ltd. has announced that the ending theme song for the original anime "未ル(Miru): Paths To My Future,” set to air on Japanese terrestrial television in April 2025, will be "Find A Way," produced by the world-renowned musician MIYAVI and released in October 2024. The company has also released a new key visual that captures the charm of the animation – developed by five different studios – along with a promotional video featuring anime footage and the ending theme song. A global release of the anime will be announced once confirmed.

"Find A Way" is an anthem to inspire the next generation. Created in collaboration with MIYAVI, and announced October 2024, the song draws inspiration from the beloved melody of “The Yanboh & Marboh Song.” It embodies Yanmar's philosophy of "HANASAKA," which emphasizes believing in people's potential and supporting their challenges, to encourage each young person to discover their potential and overcome their doubts and insecurities. MIYAVI exemplifies this spirit. After an injury ended his dream of becoming a professional soccer player, his encounter with the guitar led him to continue challenging himself and the world.

In this anime, Yanmar portrays the struggles of individuals striving to change their circumstances. Through their interactions with the robot "MIRU," these characters grow and take meaningful steps toward a brighter future. The powerful message and uplifting sound of the song enhance the expansive world of the anime, which spans various times and places as the series unfolds over five episodes in an anthology format.

Comments from MIYAVI Yanmar's heartfelt passion in stating: "We want to create opportunities to inspire excitement about the future together with the next generation," really inspired me to take on the challenge of creating the song “Find A Way.”

This track serves as the ending theme for the anime 未ル(Miru): Paths To My Future, which connects the world of anime and reality. It also represents an ambitious project to reimagine the iconic “The Yanboh & Marboh Song” that I grew up hearing as a child in Osaka. As a musician, I feel deeply honored to be part of this project.

By working together with others, we can discover unseen possibilities and pave new paths.

As a solo artist, I sometimes feel a sense of envy when I see young musicians performing and enjoying their creative journeys with bands and friends. However, I realize that even as a solo artist, I rely heavily on the support of many people to bring a live performance to life—my manager, fellow performers, stage directors, and other staff. There are things you can't achieve alone, but when you have a team or companions, you can accomplish much more.

I believe that by continuing to take on challenges, our actions can contribute to a brighter future— and that we can continue to bloom and thrive through these efforts.

The characters in the anime deeply resonate with the core message of this song in that they face inner conflicts but ultimately find companions, help each other, and push forward toward the future.

If this work inspires even one person to take a new step toward their future, there could be no greater joy for me as a creator.
