Korean idols 2PM have been chosen to sing a song for a Japanese animation, according to the official website for the animation.

The official webpage for Japanese animation "Blue Exorcist" revealed that the six-member boy band will sing the ending song for the upcoming manga-turned anime, although the title of the song has yet to be revealed.

Meanwhile, the boys have led a busy schedule in Japan, performing at the biannual Tokyo Girls Collection over the weekend and making appearances on various television shows for interviews.

The group will also prepare for their upcoming "Zepp Tour" in May where they will tour five cities in Japan including Sapporo, Fukuoka, Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo and release their Japanese debut single titled "Take Off" the same month.

Composed of Nichkhun, Wooyoung, Junho, Chansung, Junsu and Taecyeon, 2PM has released a number of hit songs since their debut in 2008 including "Tired of Waiting," "Without U" and "Tik Tok."

They made their singing debut in Japan in December last year, attracting over 25,000 fans to their first showcase, holding various promotional events for the release of their first DVD as well as topping mobile music chart Rechochuku with their songs “Without U,” “Heartbeat,” “Again & Again,” “My Life 4 U” and “10 Out of 10.”

2PM's most recent release in Korea was their mini-album "Still 2:00PM" last October, while outside of their group activities, each member has branched out into various aspects of the entertainment field with appearances on variety programs and dramas.
