There are
few things more relaxing than watching girls camping, preparing food and
enjoying the scenery while lying down without wanting to leave the house.
Luckily, we will soon have another chance to do so, as it was confirmed that the
fourth season of Laid-Back Camp will premiere in April 2027. The
announcement came with a new trailer and promotional image showing Nadeshiko,
Rin, and their friends preparing for new outdoor adventures.
The
illustration brings together eight characters around a camp, including new
students Ema Mizunami and Mei Nakatsugawa, who will have an important role
during this installment. In fact, the trailer shows that Nadeshiko and the
members of the outdoor club will try to recruit new classmates after
advancing to the next grade level.
Of course,
there will also be no shortage of scenes that made the franchise so dear:
natural landscapes, delicious meals prepared during the trips and those small
moments of tranquility that seem enough to convince anyone to buy a tent. The
trailer also allows you to learn a little more about the school life of Ema and
Mei, who will begin to integrate into the group's activities.
Laid-Back
Camp also premieres three songs for its fourth season
Another
attraction of the trailer is that it presents the three main musical themes
of the new season. Singer Asaka will return to perform the opening song
"Brand New," while Eri Sasaki will be in charge of the ending
song "Happa no Tegami (Letter of Leaves"). Both artists have
previously participated in the music of the franchise, so their voices will be
quite familiar to fans.
In
addition, the Kiminone group will perform Tonari ni Ireba (If I'm by
your side), a song that will accompany the scenes of coexistence and camp. So
it seems that the series will continue to bet on that combination of quiet
music and landscapes that manages to make us forget the problems for a few
minutes.
As for the
production, Shin Tosaka will return as director, accompanied by Pierre
Sugiura in the composition of the series. However, there will be some important
changes, as the animation will be in charge of FuRyu Pictures, the
studio that will take the place of 8bit, responsible for the third season. For
her part, Ryuta Ura will take over the character design, while Akiyuki Tateyama
will continue to compose the soundtrack.
The voice
cast will also retain its usual leads, including Yumiri Hanamori as
Nadeshiko Kagamihara and Nao Toyama as Rin Shima. They will be joined again
by Sayuri Hara as Chiaki Ogaki, Aki Toyosaki as Aoi Inuyama and Rie Takahashi
as Ena Saito. New partners Ema and Mei will be played by Maria Sashide and
Kokoa Amano, respectively.
It should
be remembered that Laid-Back Camp, an adaptation of Afro's manga, began
broadcasting in January 2018 and became one of the most recognized series in
the slice of life genre. Its third season arrived in April 2024, while
the franchise also features a movie and the spin-off anime Room Camp.
For now,
the production has only confirmed its return for April 2027, without revealing
the exact day of the premiere or the platforms that will broadcast the new
season internationally. In the meantime, fans can already enjoy the trailer and
start preparing their own excursions, although surely many of us will end up
watching the girls camp from the comfort of our rooms.
