Deadman Wonderland Feat. fade’s “One Reason” Returns to Cartoon Network
With Toonami re-launching on Cartoon Network this Sunday May 27th, US anime fans are primed for the return of the popular anime series, Deadman Wonderland. Deadman Wonderland is a dark anime series centered around the main character Igarashi Ganta who is wrongly accused of a crime. Ganta is found guilty and forced to endure life in the surreal prison/amusement park known as Deadman Wonderland while working to clear his name. The Deadman Wonderland anime TV series is based on the books, which were first published in 2007. The TV series premiered in the US in 2011 and will be part of the Toonami line up airing during the”Adult Swim” evening program schedule.
Deadman Wonderland’s soundtrack features music from the popular Japanese rock group fade. The series’ theme song, “One Reason” was written, sung and performed by fade in addition to another song from the original soundtrack (OST), “From the Heart”. This lead to the release of a special edition EP entitled “One Reason” which contains both original compositions of “From the Heart” and “One Reason” as well as instrumentals and remixes. The return of Deadman Wonderland to the United States comes on the eve of fade’s seventh album release, Ten, which is slated for an early June launch.
fade is a 5 member Japanese rock band that is based in Tokyo. The album title Ten represents the years the band has been performing together. The group is often considered the “California Roll” of rock because of their unique composition. Although the band is headquartered in Tokyo, four members have lived in the US; three are Japanese American, the lead singer is Caucasian and another has lived exclusively in Japan. fade recently toured North America in March 2012 for the Canadian Music Week festival in Toronto and a debut performance in the US at the iconic Webster Hall in New York City. The lead singer Jon Underdown is also a vocalist in the popular rock group, Yellow Fried Chickenz, led by J-Rock icon, Gackt. The remainder of 2012 will bring fade back to North America to tour in the Fall and worldwide.
