- Free!-the Final Stroke is a movie that serves as the final chapter of the TV anime series Free!, which has been running since 2013. The movie will be divided into two parts, which will be released on September 17, 2021, and April 22, 2022, respectively. Regarding their selection to sing the theme song, the members of OLDCODEX have released the comments below.
- OLDCODEX has released numerous hit songs for the Free! series, including “Rage On” (Free! OP), “Dried Up Youthful Fame” (Free! -Eternal Summer- OP), “Aching Horns” (High Speed! Free! Starting Days theme song), and “Heading to Over” (Free!-Dive to the Future!- OP).
- Their Remix Album, released in March under the “Re:OLDCODEX” theme, also drew a lot of attention for tracks such as “Aching Horns -Full Colors Remix-”. Look forward to more great OLDCODEX x Free! collaborations in the future!
“Being involved in such a long-running series is a rare opportunity, so we’re going to think carefully about what we can do and give it our all.”
