As a huge anime fan, I had a lot of fun creating the music! For this song, I incorporated the story, morality, and characters' emotions from "New Saga" into the lyrics, while also projecting myself as an "actor" portraying these anime characters. I'm super hyped for the anime, and we really put a lot into the sound and melodies. So, I hope you can feel the speed, and the characters' strong will and sense of mission while listening for all the little details! The whole process was incredibly fun!

While reading the original work, I was drawn into the unique and exciting elements of this series. While we tend to focus on the main characters' strong drive towards their goal, I realized that the interactions with the women around them are also an essential part of the story. So, I decided to depict their love triangle from a female perspective. The meaning behind the title "her" is part of a poignant story that will spark your imagination. I hope that when you listen to the song, you'll feel as if you've been transported into the world of the anime. 【Profile】 Mahiru Coda is a singer-songwriter with roots in jazz and hip-hop, known for her unrestricted and free-flowing sound.

Rene Rast darted from fifth on the grid to complete the podium for Schubert BMW in third, ahead of Jules Gounon, Marco Wittmann and Thomas Preining. Advertisement Landgraf Mercedes driver Auer led from the start while Ricardo Feller lost second place to Engel, but in the midfield there was chaos involving several drivers, as Morris Schuring sustained heavy damage to the front of his Manthey Porsche and Luca Engstler was also forced out early for Grasser Lamborghini. After a brief safety car period, Auer maintained the lead ahead of Engel, Rast and Feller. While numerous midfield drivers made early pitstops, the leading group stretched their first stint, with Engel pulling off an overcut on Auer to take the lead. But it wasn't to last as Auer, whose tyres reached the optimal temperature, quickly regained the lead, while Feller dropped out of the running with a mechanic issue with his Audi. Ricardo Feller, Land Motorsport Audi R8 LMS GT3 Ricardo Feller, Land Motorsport Audi R8 LMS GT3 Alexander Trienitz Alexander Trienitz Advertisement Auer kept Engel at bay for the remainder of the race to take his second win of the season and regain the championship lead.

IOM: Number of immigrants in Libya reached 850.000
The latest report by the International Organization for Migration's (IOM) Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) reveals the presence of 858,604 immigrants in Libya during the period from January to February 2025. According to IOM, this figure marks a notable increase from the 824,131 immigrants recorded at the end of 2024, underscoring the continued influx of migrants and the growing challenges they face across the country. The report identifies immigrants from 46 different nationalities, with men making up 78% of the population, while women and minors account for the remaining 22%. Four countries represent the origin of the vast majority of immigrants (83%): Sudan (31%), Niger (22%), Egypt (20%), and Chad (10%). Sudanese immigration, in particular, has surged significantly due to the ongoing armed conflict in Sudan, which has forced thousands to seek refuge in Libya, the report notes. Regionally, the western part of Libya hosts 52% of the immigrant population, largely due to relatively better work opportunities in the construction and manufacturing sectors. The eastern region hosts 35%, with key coastal cities such as Tripoli (15%), Misrata (10%), and Benghazi (10%) being among the most affected. On the humanitarian front, the situation is described as critical. Over three-quarters of immigrants (76%) lack access to healthcare, mainly due to high costs and poor service quality. Migrant children also face major educational barriers, with 65% of school-age children not attending school—hindered by economic hardship, lack of documentation, poor social integration, and language barriers.

Max Verstappen Is Reportedly Testing at the Nürburgring in Secret
Four-time and reigning Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen has reportedly been spotted testing a Ferrari 296 GT3 at the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The test is not Verstappen's first in a sports car, but the appearance at the 'Ring is particularly interesting with a 24-hour race scheduled at the track in just six weeks. Verstappen is testing a Ferrari GT3 car operated by DTM team Emil Frey Racing, SportsCar365 reports. The choice of partner is unusual, because the Red Bull driver's Verstappen dot com Racing team fields an Aston Martin Vantage GT3 rather than a Ferrari. That program is aligned with 2 Seas Motorsport, not Emil Frey Racing. Chris Lulham, one of the drivers running for Verstappen dot com Racing, was reportedly also present at the test. The report states that Verstappen is running under the pseudonym "Franz Hermann," making him at least the second major automotive figure to run at the 'Ring under an assumed name. Former Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda once actually entered the Nürburgring 24 under the name "Morizo." Verstappen has previously tested sports cars, most notably an IMSA-spec Acura prototype last year. What makes this test different is the location. Not only is the Nürburgring Nordschleife one of the most iconic racing tracks on Earth, it is also home to the second-biggest 24-hour race in Europe. Verstappen told Road & Track last offseason that he plans to run some sports car races, including the 24-hour races at Daytona and Le Mans, later in his career. Could that start with an early run at the 'Ring? The 2025 24 Hours of Nürburgring is set for June 21. That is notably an off week for Formula 1, although an opening in the schedule is not necessarily enough to guarantee Verstappen's surprise entry in a major sports car race.
