The highly anticipated second season of the anime series Anyway, I’m Falling in Love with You (Japanese: Dōse, Koishite Shimaunda.) is set to premiere on January 9, 2026, in Japan, and will feature the girl idol group ME:I performing the opening theme song titled “L to R” (LとR; lit. ‘L and R’). Crunchyroll has also confirmed it will simulcast the series in January 2026 across various territories, including North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
ME:I Takes the Lead with “L to R”
The announcement has generated significant buzz among fans, as ME:I, a popular J-pop idol group formed from “Produce 101 Japan The Girls,” steps into the spotlight to deliver the new season’s opening anthem. “L to R” is expected to bring a vibrant and energetic feel to the romantic comedy, aligning with the thrilling and sweet emotions of the series. The official websites and accounts for the anime confirmed ME:I’s involvement in late October 2025.
End Theme by Berry Meet
Complementing ME:I’s lively opening, the ending theme song for the second season will be “Hatsukoi” (初恋; lit. ‘First Love’), performed by the band Berry Meet. This choice suggests a dynamic soundtrack for the season, with Berry Meet’s sound potentially offering a more introspective and heartfelt tone to conclude each episode.
