From Far Away’s creditless opening features “Touhikou,” performed by Genin wa Jibun ni Aru. The video is presented by Crunchyroll in its October 13, 2026 post. The post introduces the opening sequence without its on-screen credits, alongside the platform’s announcement that it is streaming the anime as it airs.
The opening theme’s performer has a different role from Takeshi Hama, who is credited with the anime’s music. For viewers looking up the song heard in the sequence, Genin wa Jibun ni Aru is the name to follow; Hama’s credit concerns the music composed for the series.
Noriko faces a world she cannot understand
The anime adapts Kyoko Hikawa’s manga From Far Away, collected in 14 volumes according to Crunchyroll. Its synopsis follows Noriko, who is transported to a magical world and encounters the swordsman Izark. She arrives without speaking the language, making communication part of the challenge of finding her bearings.
That detail gives the premise a practical obstacle beyond the unfamiliar setting. Noriko must navigate a world whose words she cannot understand, so meeting another person does not automatically mean she can exchange information with them. Her encounter with Izark sits within that difficulty: the magical journey begins with a barrier to understanding the people around her.
The manga’s collected length describes the original work, rather than the anime’s running time or coverage. Readers familiar with Hikawa’s story should therefore distinguish the scope of the manga from the adaptation: the volume count alone does not establish how much of Noriko’s journey the series will tell.
Noriyuki Abe directs at studio DEEN
Noriyuki Abe directs the adaptation at studio DEEN. Rika Takasugi handles series composition, Eiji Abiko is responsible for character design, and Takeshi Hama composes the music. These credits cover distinct parts of the adaptation: directing the production, structuring the series, designing its characters and composing its musical accompaniment.
Crunchyroll’s streaming announcement concerns following the series as it airs. Its post does not specify the territories covered, available languages or access conditions. The announcement therefore does not guarantee availability in France; viewers should check their regional listing before assuming the series is accessible where they live.
The post presents the opening and identifies its theme song, while access to the series depends on local streaming availability. For further reading, explore the articles on JEU.VIDEO.
