The theme song “CAT’S EYE 2023”, which was newly recorded for the brilliant collaboration work between Lupine the Third and Cats, is close to the original, but has been created to be the “CAT’S EYE” of the current era. Please look forward to it!

To be honest, I was excited when I found out that I would be able to participate in my favorite work. This work also features music between Lupine and Catza (rearranged by FCP). I think you will enjoy the coolness and elegance of both. And I'm really excited about the theme song! (Hidehiro Kawai)
【STORY】
1981, Tokyo.
Three beautiful sisters, Hitomi, Nagi, and Ai, who run a coffee shop during the day and cause a stir as the phantom thief Cat's Eye at night, steal a painting from an art exhibition. Around the same time, Lupine the Third, an elusive master thief, appeared in Tokyo. He also managed to outwit a certain armed group and steal a painting.
Both paintings they stole were from the triptych ``Bouquet and Girl'' by artist Michel Heinz.
For the three Cat sisters, this is an important clue to find out the whereabouts of their father, Heinz.
The girls learn that the legendary thief's "prey" is just like them, and their eyes hold a beautiful fighting spirit...
