“Welcome to the Ballroom” Cour 2 Gets New Promo Video & Visual


Unison Square Garden’s ready to bring their hot new single to the world with this anime trailer.

Earlier today, the official Welcome to the Ballroom anime website updated with a new promotional video and key visual. The 95-second trailer uses Unison Square Garden’s Invisible Sensation as a background track.

The visual features Fujita Tatara and Chinatsu Hiyama in their stage costumes, and ready to perform.

The second cour for Welcome to the Ballroom will kick off on September 23. The show proper premiered on July 7. Amazon streams the show exclusively worldwide.

The series is based on Tomo Takeuchi’s manga of the same name. Yoshimi Itazu  is directing the series at Production I.G., with Takahiro Kishida (Haikyu!!, Puella Magi Madoka Magica) providing character designs. Kenichi Suemitsu  is in charge of series composition.

Yuuki Hayashi  is scoring the show’s soundtrack.

Unison Square Garden will perform the second opening theme song, Invisible Sensation. Mikako Komatsu, meanwhile, will provide closing theme Swing Heart Direction.

Welcome to the Ballroom kicked off in the pages of Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Magazine in December 2011. The series currently spans eight collected volumes, with the most recent hitting stores in October 2015. Kodansha Comics currently holds the North American rights to the title. They describe the series as:

Feckless high school student Tatara Fujita wants to be good at something – anything. Unfortunately, he’s about as average as a slouchy teen can be. The local bullies know this, and make it a habit to hit him up for cash, but all that changes when the debonair Kaname Sengoku sends them packing. Sengoku’s not the neighborhood watch, though. He’s a professional ballroom dancer. And once Tatara Fujita gets pulled into the world of the ballroom, his life will never be the same.
