Fans of Puniru is a Kawaii Slime have another reason to smile as the second season adds a musical surprise to its list of joys. Voice actress Yu Sasahara, who plays the bubbly and unpredictable Puniru, has released a short version of her latest cover of the upbeat track “Hai Yorokonde” by Kocchi no Kento. The new cover comes with a music video featuring charming scenes from the anime’s latest episodes, highlighting the series’ whimsical energy and visual cuteness. The full version of the song is scheduled to release later today across major music streaming and download platforms.
This isn’t Sasahara’s first musical outing as Puniru. Earlier this year, fans were treated to the “Kawaii Puniru Song Album,” which featured seven playful tracks that captured the spirit of the show’s world. With the latest addition, the second season appears committed to blending its character-driven humor and shapeshifting antics with a rich soundscape that extends beyond the screen. The new cover is cheerful, animated, and perfectly aligned with Puniru’s unpredictable charm, making it a must-listen for fans of character songs and slice-of-life anime tunes.
The anime is directed by Yushi Ibe, best known for Tearmoon Empire, and produced by TOHO animation STUDIO. Michiko Yokote handles the series composition, while Aya Tanaka provides character designs. The soundtrack is composed by Izumi Mori. These creative forces together bring the original manga by Maeda-kun to life with an energy that is both heartfelt and chaotic in the best way.
Puniru is a Kawaii Slime has captured a niche in the anime world for its balance of childhood nostalgia and playful fantasy. The story centers on Kotaro and the living slime he accidentally created seven years ago. Since then, Puniru has grown into a quirky, shape-shifting girl full of energy and surprises. Whether she’s taking on cute forms or disrupting Kotaro’s peace with her antics, Puniru is a constant source of light and unpredictability. Their relationship, while rooted in a magical twist, is full of relatable emotions and warm moments that make the series ideal for fans of friendship-driven stories.
Crunchyroll currently streams the anime worldwide and has described the series as a blend of everyday comedy with fantasy elements. As Season 2 continues to deliver new episodes, the addition of musical content like this cover only enhances the viewer experience, giving fans more ways to connect with the characters they’ve come to love.
With each new episode and song release, Puniru is a Kawaii Slime proves it is more than just a cute anime. It is a lively, lovable celebration of friendship, self-expression, and the occasional bit of harmless chaos.
