The popular anime series, Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian (Roshidere), has delighted fans once again with the release of its episode 6 ending video, featuring a brand-new song. Continuing the trend of character songs, voice actress Sumire Uesaka, who voices Alya, lends her vocal talents to this latest theme, titled “Himitsu no Kotoba” (Secret Words). This follows last week’s episode 5 ending, which showcased the song “Chiisana Koi no Uta,” also sung by Uesaka as Alya. Fans can now immerse themselves in the enchanting melodies of “Himitsu no Kotoba” through the official episode 6 ending video.

Studio Doga Kobo, renowned for their heartwarming and visually appealing animations, is at the helm of Roshidere‘s production. What sets Roshidere apart is its unique approach to ending themes. Each episode so far has featured a different ending song, all performed by Sumire Uesaka as the character Alya. Prior to “Himitsu no Kotoba,” audiences were treated to a diverse range of songs, including the energetic opening theme “1-ban Kagayaku Hoshi,” the sweet episode 1 ending “School Paradise,” the charming episode 2 ending “Kawaikute Gomen,” the nostalgic episode 3 ending “Omoide ga Ippai,” and the surprise episode 4 ending which featured a cover of the iconic Haruhi Suzumiya song “Hare Hare Yukai.” This consistent stream of new music adds another layer of enjoyment for viewers each week.

For manga enthusiasts, a manga adaptation illustrated by Saho Tenamachi has been serialized in Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket since October 2022, further expanding the Roshidere universe.

The official synopsis of the series offers a glimpse into the charming premise: Alya-san, the girl seated next to Masachika Kuze, is known for her icy demeanor towards him. However, unbeknownst to those around them, Alya occasionally whispers sweet nothings to Masachika in Russian. Masachika, possessing fluent Russian skills, catches every word. This sets the stage for a delightful romantic comedy where Alya believes her affections are secret, while Masachika playfully pretends to be oblivious. Where will this heartwarming and grin-inducing love story lead?
