The story
The official account for the TV anime “From the Scarred Saint, With Vengeance” announced that Hello! Project’s Juice=Juice has been tapped to perform the Season 2 theme song. Aoi Yamazaki wrote the lyrics, RUSH EYE and Anna Kusakawa composed the music, and RUSH EYE handled the arrangement. On 5ch’s Hello! Project board, posters swapped jokes about the source anime’s low profile and poor reviews and voiced shock that it was even getting a second season — but the thread quickly veered away from the anime itself into gags about how the composer credit “RUSH EYE” sounds suspiciously close to comedian/TV personality SHOCK EYE.

The theme song just needs to become a hit on its own
Same as how nobody knows what anime “Racing into the Night” is tied to

They've finally reached the other shore (i.e., achieved it)
Is it actually popular enough to get a second season?
Born in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture.
Overview
Also active under the name Akira Matsumoto.
During his student days, he signed to a major label as the vocalist of a band; after leaving it, he moved to Tokyo and began working in earnest as a songwriter and track-maker. He has provided songs to numerous artists, with his work racking up million-selling hits and multiple Oricon No.1 rankings. In recent years he has taken part in songwriting camps held overseas, working alongside creators both in Japan and abroad.[1]
Wikipedia's giving another one of those vague, wishy-washy write-ups
So he's not SHOCK EYE, then?
The EP's just a stopgap while Aoi Yamazaki is busting her ass writing songs
Anna Kusakawa (アンナ・クサカワ)
Country: Japan, currently based there
Role and Ability: Composer / Topliner / Lyricist / Singer / Working Platform: Cubase
A bilingual songwriter born in Japan and raised in the U.S.
Graduated from a music college with a composition major.
She started piano as a child, and after moving back to Japan during high school, she developed an interest in Japanese pop, anime, and game music, which is what got her into composing.
She writes for Hello! Project and she's not even Swedish?!
It's the kind of thing anime otaku completely ignore, so there's no need to get excited
Not really at a level you could call “anime”
Let's keep him locked down
The SHOCK EYE hell at LuckyFes was hilarious
Juice=Juice and their fans shouldn't be picky about the work — just hype it up with everything you've got
If only it were a Tokyo Revengers theme song, this would be perfect
Background and Key Points
RUSH EYE is a music producer and lyricist, a completely different person from comedian/TV personality SHOCK EYE of the group Kishidan — but the similar-sounding name has repeatedly been fodder for mix-up jokes on 5ch, and this thread was no exception. Much of the discussion veered into classic 5ch tangents, including jabs at the “vague, wishy-washy” Wikipedia-style bio of RUSH EYE. Meanwhile, on the actual subject — the anime itself — posters were harsh about the source material’s low profile and the visual quality, and the comment that “the theme song just needs to become famous on its own” neatly captures how these tie-up projects can produce a hit song even when hardly anyone knows or cares about the anime it’s attached to. Some posters noted that landing an anime theme song had long been one of Juice=Juice’s goals, suggesting that for Hello! Project fans, excitement over the song itself is treated as separate from however the tie-up anime is rated. It was also noted that both the lyricist and composers are known for writing extensively for boy groups, which some read as a hint at where the sound might be headed next.
