Centimillimental has released the official music video for “Kanawanai” (I Can't Compare), the opening theme song for the Fall 2026 anime series Hello, I am a Witch and my Crush Wants me to Make a Love Potion!. The video arrived on November 3, 2026, following the broadcast of the show's fifth episode.
The series, which premiered on October 5, 2026, is currently one of the trending titles for the Fall 2026 season. The release of the full-length track capitalizes on the mid-season momentum of the “melancholic romance” story produced by studio diomedea.
