Released through Media Factory, MYTH & ROID continued its anime connections in 2025 with an Overlord anime 10th anniversary song collaboration with OxT, and in 2026 it was revealed as the ending-song performer for Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4, alongside a new ending-song music video. With Tom-H@ck’s production, hotaru’s lyrics, and KIHOW’s voice, MYTH & ROID remains one of the most recognizable names for fans searching for anime songs, openings, and anison with a cinematic edge.
