Tokyo Shandy RendezvousMAISONdes feat. KAF, Tsumiki
The remake of the anime Urusei Yatsura garnered overwhelming support from younger generations.
“Tokyo Shandy Rendezvous” is the theme song for the remake version and also became a topic of discussion in Japan as a meme related to Teikyo Heisei University.
The vocal range is mid1 F# to high D, but the most frequently appearing high note is high E, so it’s best to adjust the key with an emphasis on making that note easier to sing.

It’s sung by Inori Minase, who plays the protagonist, Princess Syalis.
The lyrics faithfully reflect the anime’s story, and the catchy melody really sticks with you.

The lyrics, which express a longing to see a loved one, carry a slightly wistful tone, yet overall the piece is calming and comforting.
