The original announcement scheduled Aimi’s new song for April 10, 2026, accompanied by jacket art inspired by a school setting and the idea of ‘escape’.
Singer and voice actor Aimi announced a digital release of “Dramatic Touhikou” for April 10, 2026, at midnight. The song serves as the ending theme for the television anime Haibara’s Teenage New Game+, which began airing on April 2, 2026, at 1:28 a.m. on TBS, BS11, and AT-X.
The press materials also revealed the official single artwork. Its design reflects the anime’s school setting and themes. This article preserves the release details as they were announced in April 2026, rather than presenting them as upcoming November events.
A song written for the anime’s story
Aimi wrote the lyrics to “Dramatic Touhikou”. According to the official materials, the song was designed to reflect the anime’s world and themes, making it part of the atmosphere surrounding each episode rather than just a closing track.
The anime is adapted from a light novel by Kazuki Amamiya, also associated with Gakuen Idolmaster. Its story follows Natsuki, a high-school student whose first attempt at making a fresh start in school goes badly. Given a chance to travel back in time, he tries to experience his youth again in a more sincere and meaningful way, in a romantic-comedy setting.
Second chances, personal growth, and adolescence are central themes. An ending song that responds to them helps establish the series’ mood.
Official jacket artwork revealed
The jacket art was also shown alongside the release date. Drawing on the story’s school setting, it features Aimi in a school-uniform-inspired outfit paired with her recognizable hoodie.
The press release described a circular motif representing ‘escape’, accompanied by geometric design elements. These details connect the single’s visual identity to its themes.
The artwork combines familiar school imagery with a more symbolic design, distinguishing the release from a straightforward promotional portrait.

The original digital-release date was April 10, 2026, at 00:00 on major streaming platforms. The press materials also credited the music team.
