The official Twitter/X and website for the upcoming Tamon’s B-Side TV anime series have unveiled a new music video for the show’s in-universe idol group F/ACE and their single “F/ACE OFF.” The anime has also been confirmed to begin broadcasting in Japan sometime in January 2026.
A short teaser of the music video was unveiled earlier this past March.
“F/ACE OFF” is now available on several music streaming services. Exclusive tie-in voice drama episodes will also be streamed every month, with one series titled “A-Side Talk ‘F/ace Liner Talk: Let’s Talk About the F/ace Off Music Video'” that will be released on the anime’s Twitter/X and YouTube accounts, and another titled “B-Side Talk ‘Tamon & Ori’s Group Evaluation'” on Animate’s Kikigatari service that will debut at the same time.
Chika Nagaoka (Detective Conan: The Million-dollar Pentagram, Uta no Prince-sama: Maji LOVE ST☆RISH Tours) is directing the anime, with Chiaki Nagai (22/7 co-series screenwriter and scriptwriter) as series screenwriter and scriptwriter and Yoko Ito (Delico’s Nursery) as character designer and chief animation director. J.C.STAFF is handling the animation production for the series.
Meanwhile, the anime’s main voice cast includes:
- • Saori Hayami as Utage Kinoshita
- • Kakeru Hatano as Tamon Fukuhara
- • Shoya Chiba as Ori Sakaguchi
- • Tasuku Hatanaka as Keito Tachibana
- • Kohei Amasaki as Natsuki Ishibashi
- • Ryuho Nakaoka as Rintaro Kai
The anime is based on the romantic comedy manga by Yuki Shiwasu, which has been serialized in Hakusensha’s Hana to Yume since October 20, 2021. Eleven tankobon volumes have been released as of June 2025.
VIZ Media releases the Tamon’s B-Side manga series in English under its Shojo Beat imprint, describing the main premise as:
Tamon is an insecure mess in real life, and what’s worse, he’s threatening to quit! Utage refuses to let anyone stand in Tamon’s way — least of all himself. What’s a fangirl to do but roll up her sleeves and support her favorite singer with everything she’s got?
