Marvelous, Marvelous Europe, and XSEED Games released the opening movie for Silent Hope, a brand-new action RPG set within the Rune Factory universe. The opening movie features a theme song by Japanese band KAMI WA SAIKORO WO FURANAI.
KAMI WA SAIKORO WO FURANAI lead singer Shuusaku Yanagita is a lifelong fan of RPGs, and he was excited to write the theme song for Silent Hope. Yanagita hopes the song may convey the themes and story of Silent Hope to fans in Japan and around the world. Fans may listen to the new song by checking out the newly uploaded opening movie for Silent Hope.
“I’ve loved RPGs ever since I was a child,” said KAMI WA SAIKORO WO FURANAI lead singer Shuusaku Yanagita in a press release. “While party games are about competing with others, RPGs are about taking things at your own pace, whether leveling up your party, enjoying the scenery, or diving deeper into the stories of the main cast and even the supporting characters as well.”
Yanagita added, “When I was chosen to write the theme song for Silent Hope, a brand-new action RPG, my eyes lit up just like I was a kid again. The story and themes of this game, set in a world that has lost the ability to communicate through language, feel like an antithesis to today’s social media society. Words are a double-edged sword—a single, simple word can hurt someone deeply, but on the other hand, a single word can also save someone’s life. We hope that the message of Silent Hope and of our song will reach not only audiences in Japan, but around the world!”
