Hanazawa will mark the 20th anniversary since her debut as a voice actress in 2023, and this will be the first time she has both starred in and provided a theme song for an anime.

What about Renai Circulation from Bakemonogatari? I think there are more, but that's what I immediately remembered.

This must be counting as a solo performance as it should have been specified as such because HanaKana starred (what's the definition of starred? Obviously #1 in the cast list, but also top 2 with both male and female in a series such as Kubo) in plenty of series where she was the main and did the theme song (OP or ED), but had one or more seiyuu perform the theme song with her, but even then your statement would be wrong as a solo performance because she starred in Tonari no Seki-kun in 2014 as Yokoi Rumi, which is the equivalent plot wise to this Kubo series with a male character and performed the OP theme by herself.

Other mentions:

Sketchbook: Full Colors in 2007: She starred as Kajiwara Sora and performed the 2nd ED theme with Asuka Nakase and Yui Makino.

Morita-san wa Muchiki in 2011: She starred as Morita Mayu and performed the OP theme with Haruka Tomatsu.

Yeah, I was honestly surprised they're saying this is the first time.

She's definitely sang ED themes for shows she's been in.
