LINKL PLANET's Third Single Celebrates Gunpla's 45th Anniversary

LINKL PLANET, the official ambassador for BANDAI SPIRITS plastic models, is set to release their third single, "I Always Have a Gunpla in My Heart," on March 19, 2025. This commemorative track celebrates the 45th anniversary of Gunpla and is packed with exciting features for fans of both music and model kits.

A Tribute to Gunpla History

The single's cover art was photographed at the Bandai Hobby Center in Shizuoka—the birthplace of Gunpla. The design evokes the grandeur of Gunpla's 45th-anniversary celebration, blending nostalgia with innovation.

Renowned lyricist and producer Junji Ishiwata (ex. SUPERCAR) wrote the heartfelt lyrics for the title track, while acclaimed creators such as Akira Sunset and Endo Naoki contributed to the music. LINKL PLANET’s signature style shines through, connecting the world of plastic models with everyday life. Choreography for the single was crafted by WARNER, adding a dynamic visual element to complement the song's energetic vibe.
