Orangestar's involvement, while seemingly a departure from his summer associations, is framed by the article as a natural fit given his past works' themes of lost time and youth.","whyItMatters":"The piece argues that Orangestar's move into a spring-themed story is not a stylistic break but a logical extension of his existing artistic identity, which has always dealt with temporality and memory.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eOrangestar, the Vocaloid P behind summer anthems like \u0026#34;Asu no Yozora Shōkaihan\u0026#34; and \u0026#34;Kaisei,\u0026#34; has contributed his first new song in about two years to the TV anime \u0026#34;Shunkashūtō Daikōsha Haru no Mai.\u0026#34; The anime, which began airing in April, is an original work by Kana Akatsuki, author of \u0026#34;Violet Evergarden.\u0026#34; It follows a world where the seasons are rotated by agents empowered by seasonal gods; spring has been missing for ten years after the spring agent vanished.
