JAKARTA - Japanese vocal and rap group WOLF HOWL HARMONY from EXILE TRIBE presents their latest digital single titled Koko ni Iru ("I'm Here"). Released on July 3, 2026, this song was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime "Iwamoto-senpai no Suisen".

The anime, produced by Studio Deen, premiered in Japan on July 4, with a story theme that is in line with the message conveyed through "Koko ni Iru".

"We are honored and happy to have the opportunity to perform the ending song for 'Iwamoto-senpai no Suisen'. This is also the first time that our song has appeared in an anime series, so this is a very meaningful experience for us," said RYOJI, group leader.

Produced by renowned producer ☆Taku Takahashi of m-flo, "Koko ni Iru" tackles the theme of emotional challenges in everyday life filled with comparisons, and where finding the "right answer" often feels difficult. Through its touching lyrics and uplifting message, the song offers support to listeners.

"'Koko ni Iru' is a ballad for those who continue to try to move forward even though they still feel hesitant about their own choices and decisions. To convey the flow of emotions naturally, we deliberately give space in the music and vocal arrangements. The way WOLF HOWL HARMONY expresses emotions sincerely and tenderly gives this song a special persuasive power," said Takahashi.

At the same time, WOLF HOWL HARMONY released a music video for "Koko ni Iru". Directed by YERD, the video features a background that is in tune with the historical feel of the anime "Iwamoto-senpai no Suisen", taking the shooting location in a traditional Japanese house inspired by Western-style architecture.

Through the angle and gentle appearance, this music video puts the four members in the same space, but they still harbor their own sense of loneliness. The striking red background and dynamic editing techniques visualize the inner conflicts and turbulent emotions.

The collaboration with "Iwamoto-senpai no Suisen" is the latest achievement for WOLF HOWL HARMONY after their recent series of global activities, such as appearances at Anime Friends 2026 in Brazil and forming a special unit WOLF & WANDER with Thai boy group FLIO from GMMTV through the "CLOUD DREAM project by G&LDH".

Complementing the collaboration, their sister group under the auspices of LDH JAPAN, THE JET BOY BANGERZ from EXILE TRIBE, performed their latest single "BUDDING" as the opening song for "Iwamoto-senpai no Suisen".

"We sang this song in the hope that we can give encouragement and support to anyone who is facing difficulties but still trying to keep moving forward. I hope that when this song starts playing, the audience can feel the story and emotions of the characters again, so that the impression of each episode will remain. I hope you can enjoy the anime 'Iwamoto-senpai no Suisen' and this song together," said RYOJI.

Along with the development of WOLF HOWL HARMONY's activities both in Japan and internationally, "Koko ni Iru" showcases the musical evolution as well as the more introspective side of the group, connecting them with listeners through shared experiences and sincere messages.
